PART I:

Read the passage below and answer questions 1–6.

Fire is very useful in our daily lives. It gives us warmth during cold weather and helps us prepare our meals. Despite its many benefits, fire can also cause serious accidents if it is not handled carefully. Many homes, especially in rural areas, use open fires for cooking. Adults should always supervise children and ensure that they stay away from open flames to prevent burns and other injuries.

Whether we are at home, at school, or in any other place, we should always observe fire safety rules. We should use fire responsibly and avoid careless actions that may cause accidents. As the saying goes, "Safety comes first."
