This is the text (if you need help).

Colombia signed a peace deal with the rebel group FARC. It ends 52 years of fighting. Over 220,000 people died. Millions of people lost their home. Colombia's president said it was, "the beginning of the end to the suffering, pain and tragedy of war". The government and FARC will now work together for the hurt people.

FARC will now help to make Colombia's future. In the capital city, thousands of people celebrated. One Colombian said: "Finally, I'll see my country without violence, with a future for my children." Colombians will vote on the peace deal. The president said: "It will be the most important election of our lives."

Back to the peace lesson.
