CARTOONS
Listen and read
Cartoons existed in the past, they exist now, and they will probably exist in the future.

When I was a child, I watched cartoons on TV.

I enjoyed watching them very much because they made me laugh

But cartoons first existed in strips and appeared in newspapers and magazines. Then when
movies appeared, cartoonists worked hard on animated cartoons. There were films based on
stories such as “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” with drawings created by Walt Disney.

Nowadays, we can still see beautiful movies where the characters are only animated cartoons.
And, thanks to the ingenuity of producers, we can even see movies where actors and actresses
interact with cartoons. This can be so amazing!

READING

The number of people hurt in the market fire was of 180. The hospital authorities said there
were 30 children, 12 firefighters and 20 policemen among the injured.

A witness said it started with a truck crash. It was a truck transporting Kerosene. The
Kerosene leaked out of the container and caught on fire. The problem was that
the accident was at the bank of the market, where there are many plastic objects.

The firefighters came at once, but the fire moved very fast to the nearby buildings.
People in the market tried to stop the fire with extinguishers, but it didn’t work.

The children were visiting a factory 100 meters from he market.

The police and fire departments did a very job. Nobody was killed
