Work in pairs. Say how a forest fire may start and what every camper ought to remember. (Làm việc theo cặp. Hãy nói xem một đám cháy rừng có thể bắt đầu như thế nào và mỗi người cắm trại cần ghi nhớ điều gì.)

Guide to answer

A forest fire can start with a small burning cigarette butt, or with a burning campfire near a heap of dry leaves or grass. Sometimes a lightning can cause a forest, too.

Every camper ought to remember to put out the campfire before he leaves the place by covering it with earth. And another thing they should keep in their mind is they should not make a campfire near heaps of dead leaves or grass, especially in the very dry weather.

Have you ever seen a forest destroyed by fire? A great forest fire is an awful thing to see. Once a fire has started, it spreads quickly. Foresters say that late summer is the season when fire is the greatest danger to woods and foresters.

They are very dry then. Sometimes when the danger of fire is very great, foresters will not allow anyone to go into the forests.

If people leave a campfire burning near a heap of leaves, this often causes a forest fire. Campers must always remember to put out their campfire and cover the place with earth. It is the duty of every camper to take the greatest care not to start a forest fire.

Anyone careless enough to start a forest fire has done something, which makes life more difficult for all of US. Every fire destroys valuable wood, wild life, and good soil. Everyone of US must know how important it is to care for our great forests and save them from fire.
