The Great Fire of London

Beth: Hej Martin. Hur var det i skolan?

Beth: Hi Martin. How was school?

Martin: Åh, det var jättebra. Historielektionen var väldigt intressant.

Martin: Oh, it was great. The history lesson was very interesting.

Beth: Jaså? Vad fick du lära dig?

Beth: Really? What did you learn?

Martin: Vi lärde oss om "Den stora branden i London". Den förstörde fyra femtedelar av London 1666.

Martin: We learned about the "Great Fire of London". It destroyed four fifths of London in 1666.

Beth: Det är hemskt!

Beth: That's horrible!

Martin: Den räddade faktiskt fler människors liv än den dödade.

Martin: It actually saved more people's lives that it killed.

Beth: Hur kan det vara möjligt?

Beth: How is that possible?

Martin: Branden dödade en massa råttor som hjälpte till att föra pesten vidare. Pestoffren blev hastigt färre efter branden.

Martin: The fire killed a lot of rats which helped to transmit the plague. Plague victims dropped rapidly after the fire.

Beth: Det är intressant. Du lär dig mycket i skolan!

Beth: That's interesting. You learn a lot in school!
