De geschiedenisles was erg interessant." Martin: Oh, it was great. The history lesson was very interesting. Betty:"Echt? Wat heb je geleerd?" Beth: Really? What did you learn? Martin:"We hebben gesproken over de Grote Brand van Londen. Het vernietigde viervijfde deel van Londen in 1666". Martin: We learned about the "Great Fire of London". It destroyed four fifths of London in 1666. Betty:"Dat is verschrikkelijk!" Beth: That's horrible! Martin:"Eigenlijk werden er meer mensen door gered dan dat er omkwamen." Martin: It actually saved more people's lives that it killed. Betty:"Hoe kan dat?" Beth: How is that possible? Martin:"De brand doodde een groot aantal ratten, die de pest overbrachten. Het aantal pestslachtoffers daalde erg snel na de brand". Martin: The fire killed a lot of rats which helped to transmit the plague. Plague victims dropped rapidly after the fire. Betty:"Dat is interessant. Je leert veel op school!" Beth: That's interesting. You learn a lot in school! Martin:"Ja, dat is waar!" Martin: Yes, I do!
