The Great Fire of London (an Episode of the British History)
London of the middle of the 17th century was a city of narrow, dirty streets. It is no wonder that epidemics were common.
The greatest epidemic was the plague which broke out in 1665. Every house in which there were sick people was shut up and the door of the house was marked with a red cross.
The following year the Great Fire look place. It broke out late at night in a street not far from London Bridge. The summer had been dry and the fire spread quickly.
The fire burned for five days and destroyed the greater part of the city.
The greater part of London before the fire had been of wood, but after the fire brick houses were built.
Sir Christopher Wren, the famous architect of that day, took part in rebuilding the city.
We all need exercise.This is true for young people as well as for adults. Even if you don't plan to make sport your main occupation. This is my opinion and I feel like it is true
As long as I can remember myself I was always keen on tennis. I love this sport with its old noble traditions, though I have never dreamed of becoming anything more than an amateur
I watch attentively all tennis competitions and championships. There are a lot of them, but my favourite championship is Wimbledon, because old tennis traditions remain there as they are. Some of the well-known Wimbledon champions are: John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles. My dream is to get a chance to watch at least one of them playing.
And meantime l play tennis with my friends. It is also a great opportunity to socialize with people who have similar interests
