means fire, sometimes, gives use not only advantages but also disadvantages. We can
use it in many ways whatever we like. For example, we use it to keep ourselves warm, to
drive away insects and wild animals and also to cook our food. So, fire provides many
advantages for us. Sometimes, however, houses. and buildings are destroyed and many
people are made homeless Often, people are killed in the fire because of the
disadvantages of fire. Therefore, we must be very careful not to start a fire.
