1) READ AND ANSWER True/False

Volcanic eruption in Italy

Nearly two thousand years ago, a volcano called Vesuvius erupted on the west coast of Italy, south of Naples. There was a loud explosion. There was dust and ash everywhere. Children ran to their parents crying. People tried to run away, taking their things with them. They tried to escape, but most of people and animals died.

Vesuvius has erupted many times. The last big eruption was in 1944. Will Vesuvius erupt again? Nobody knows. If it does, it might be a small eruption or a big one. Some people live close to Vesuvius because the soil around it is good for growing crops. But it is also very dangerous.

1 It was very noisy when Vesuvius erupted.

2 The parents were frightened.

3 People tried to find a safe place.

4 It is dangerous to live near the volcano.

5 Vesuvius erupted only once.

The water in the canals and rivers rose higher and higher, and thousands of people had to leave their homes because of a danger of floods. They went to other towns and waited until the water level fell down again.
