A year ago, the local council started working on a project to address this problem. They gave grants to anyone starting up a company in the area.

8 TASK 4 Read the text and decide if the sentences below are true or false. Circle T for true sentences or F for false sentences on your answer sheet. School on fire I have been always afraid of fires because when I was eight years old, my boarding school burned down. Even now, I clearly remember waking up in the big bedroom late at night. Something seemed to be wrong, but I did not know what it was. I got out of the bed and walked to the door and put my hand on the glass. It was hot, and even though there were no alarms or bells, it was clear that the building was on fire. There were about twelve of us in the room, but as the eldest, I had to make sure that everyone was safe. I walked round the room telling everyone they had better get out at once. Fortunately, we were all used to practising fire drills, so everyone knew what to do. We made our way down a series of iron ladders to the ground, and all managed to get down safely. As soon as we got round to the front of the building, we saw how bad it was. The flames were hundreds of metres high and reached up into the night sky. The fire brigade was called, but by the time they arrived there was very little they could do and the building was completely destroyed. One boy was killed in the fire, but there is no doubt that many more would have died if we had not practised fire drills regularly. 1 The person was woken up by alarms in the building. 2 Nobody knew what to do. 3 All of them were trained for fire safety. 4 The fire fighters came in time and extinguished the fire. 5 There were no casualties.
