On April 16，a fire destroyed the 850-year-old cathedral，and two-thirds of the roof. The fire (shock) Parisians. People came together to the church，(sing) songs and praying (祈祷)for the hundreds of firefighters who fought the flames. "Notre-Dame, not only to Catholics, b also to all Parisians means a lot," wrote by author. "It's a symbol of French culture and history." That's w people felt sad. The church itself，after all，is a treasure. It was built in 1163 and after Notre-Dame，churches in Europe were built (tall) and looked more beautiful. Though Notre-Dame had a long history and many (treasure), Victor Hugo，a writer，made the church truly famous. His novel，The Hunchback of Notre-Dame，presented the building to us. He wrote the book to remind people o it，with hope they would work to protect the beautiful old buildings of Paris.
