The Great Fire of London – 1666

The Great Fire of London is one of the most well-known disasters in history. The fire began on 2nd September 1666 in Tom Farriner's bakery in Pudding Lane. He was a baker to King Charles II. It lasted four days and burnt down over 13,000 houses. People lived in houses made of wood and straw that were close together, so the fire spread very quickly. Samuel Pepys, one famous diarist, and his men managed to put out the last fire on 6th September. Sir Christopher Wren designed a monument to remind people of the Great Fire of London. It stands near where the fire started.

The Kebin Earthquake – 1911

The south of Kazakhstan is located on a seismic active zone, so the area has had many powerful earthquakes. In 1911 the Kebin earthquake almost completely destroyed the city of Almaty. It happened on 3rd January and over 770 buildings collapsed in the city. Many historic buildings were damaged, but one famous building survived. It was the Ascension Cathedral in Panfilov Park. At 54m high, it remains one of the tallest wooden buildings in the world. Amazingly, it survived even though there aren't any nails in the entire building!

1. Based on the texts, I know that the Great Fire of London was a disaster in 1666 that started in a bakery and destroyed many wooden houses. The Kebin Earthquake happened in Kazakhstan in 1911 and destroyed almost the entire city of Almaty. The buildings in the pictures are related to these events. The tall column is a monument built to remember the Great Fire of London. The church is the Ascension Cathedral, which is famous for surviving the Kebin Earthquake even though it is a wooden building with no nails.

Основываясь на текстах, я знаю, что Великий лондонский пожар — это бедствие 1666 года, которое началось в пекарне и уничтожило много деревянных домов. Кеминское землетрясение произошло в Казахстане в 1911 году и разрушило почти весь город Алматы. Здания на картинках связаны с этими событиями. Высокая колонна — это монумент, построенный в память о Великом лондонском пожаре. Церковь — это Вознесенский собор, который знаменит тем, что уцелел во время Кеминского землетрясения, хотя это деревянное здание без гвоздей.
