based on Unit 2, Reading ex. 8 Read the text and decide which of the facts are True, False or Not Stated About 2,000 years ago the army of Romans came to the coasts of Britain and started to make their way north. They wanted to make the island part of the Roman Empire. Soon they came to a wide, deep river that ran from the east coast far to the west. They couldn't go around it and decided to build a bridge. The Romans found a place where the river was a little narrower. Here they stopped and built a bridge and then a small town. They gave the name Londinium to the town. Today we know it as London. Londinium grew bigger and bigger. The Romans built a lot of roads from Londinium to other parts of Britain. By the year 400, there were fifty thousand people in Londinium. Soon after the year 400, the Romans left Britain. We do not know much about London between the years 400 and 1000. But we know that until 1749, there was only one bridge across the River Thames. Its name was London Bridge. The bridge looked very strange then. There were houses and shops on the bridge. Romans built London about two hundred years ago. At first London was called Londinium. The Romans built a lot of railway stations in Londinium. Until 1749, there was only London Bridge across the River Thames.
