Project: Fire

by Alice and Peter

Many, many years ago, people used a stick, a large piece of wood and dry leaves to make a fire. They used fire to cook meat and to get light and heat.

很多很多年以前,人们用木棍,大块木头以及干树叶来生火。它们用火来烧煮肉类并且获得光和热。

Today, people use fire in many different ways. At home, we use fire to cook food and boil water. In factories, workers use fire to melt metals to make things of different shapes. Factory workers also use fire to make glasses.

如今,人们在许多不同的方面用到火。在家里,我们用火来做饭烧水。在工厂里,工人们用火熔化金属,以制造出各种形状的物品。工人们也用火来烧制玻璃。

Fire can be very dangerous. Every year, hill fires burn a lot of trees. This is because there are many careless people. They leave burning cigarette ends or do not put out their barbecue fires. People may be seriously injured or even lose their lives and homes in a fire. We must be careful with fire.

火可能很危险。每年,山火都会烧毁大片树木。这是由于很多粗心的人。他们扔下未熄灭的烟头或者在离开时没有熄灭野炊的火。一场大火,人类可能被重度烧伤,甚至失去生命和家庭。我们必须谨慎火源。
