Fire can help people in many ways. But it can also be very harmful（有害的）. Fire can make water hot and muse warm, give light and cook food. But fire can burn things, too. It can make trees, houses, animals and other things catch fire（起火）. If some people can't run away from fire, it can kill them. This happens in every country. Sometimes big fire can burn forests and destroy many tall buildings. Nobody knows clearly when people began to make fire, but there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man a long time ago. He went up to the sun and brought fire down. Today people know how to make a fire with matches（火柴）. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. The match can burn a piece of paper and then it can burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with fire.
