An ordinary life…. an amazing idea.

Tim Berners-Lee looks very ordinary. He’s about fifty years old and has brown hair. He was born in England but now he lives in Massachusetts in the USA. But in 1989 Tim had an important idea. He invented the world wide web (www).

Tim went to school in London. Both his parents worked with computers so it isn’t surprising that he loved computers from an early age. When he was eighteen, he left school and went to Oxford University where he studied physics. At Oxford, he became more and more interested in computers, and he made his first computer from an old television. He graduated in 1976 and got a job with a computer company in Dorset, England. In 1989, he went to work in Switzerland where he first had an idea of an international information network linked by computer. He decided to call it the world wide web, and he also decided to make his idea free to everyone- that is why today we do not pay to use the Internet.

In 1994 he went to live in the United States where he now works. In 1995 he wrote an article in the New York Times where he said: “ The web is universe of information and it is for everyone.” Today his idea of a web, where people from over the world can exchange information, is real.

A True Story.

Part 1.

My grandparents were both Russian but they met in London. My grandmother’s story was the most interesting. She was a servant girl in Russia and she worked for a rich family. During the First World War this rich family decided to move to London and they took my grandmother and some other servants with them. But when they got to London they decided they didn’t need all these servants – they had too many – so they decided not to keep my grandmother, perhaps they didn’t have enough money to keep her… I don’t know.

Part 2.

So anyway, they decided to take my grandmother for a walk in the center of London – Oxford Street or somewhere like that, and they said to her “Wait here. We’ll come back in a few minutes.” And then they just went away and never came back. And she waited, and waited and waited. She was only sixteen years old, a poor servant girl from a farm in Russia…. she spoke no English at all, and they left her all alone in the center of London – can you imagine?

Part 3.

Anyway, she walked around for hours and hours trying to find someone who spoke Russian, and in the end she actually found some Russian people who took her to the Russian community in London. There was a big Russian community in Shoreditch in east London in those days. And there she met my grandfather. He was forty-eight years old, and also Russian, and he decided he needed a wife to look after him. So he married my grandmother and they had two children, my father and my uncle. It’s an amazing story, isn’t it?

THE WORLD’S FAMOUS MARKETS.

Do you want to buy a new pair of sunglasses? The latest CD? Or something for your dinner this evening? Nowadays you can shop by telephone, by post or by Internet; but for many people, the most exiting way to shop is also the most traditional – at a street market. You can find markets anywhere in the world. Here are five of them…

The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey, is more than 500 years old and it has more than four thousand shops under one roof! You can buy almost anything, but the most popular items for tourists are the beautiful carpets and rugs.

There are many “floating markets” in Asia. Perhaps the most famous is in Thailand, at a place called Damnoen Saduak, 100 km from the capital city, Bangkok. From six in the morning to midday, every day, people sell fresh tropical fruit and vegetables from their boats.

Many Italians say that the Campo de’Fiori, in the oldest part of Rome, is the most beautiful square (or “ piazza” ) in the world. It’s the home of a colorful flower, fruit and vegetable market, open at seven o’clock in the morning to midday every day except Sunday. In the evening the piazza becomes a lovely place to meet friends and to have meal.

Every year, thousands of people from all over the world travel to Germany to visit the famous Christmas markets. The old town of Nurnberg has the biggest market, open from the end of November until Christmas. Here people can buy toys, hand-made gifts, Christmas decorations, and food, and drink, or they can just enjoy the beautiful atmosphere!

One of the most world’s unusual markets is in Mexico City: at the Sonora Market. As well as toys and birds, you can buy herbs and natural medicines which (they say) can help with anything – from problems at work to problems with your marriage! It’s open every day from early in the morning till late at night.

Andy.

Our uniforms are interesting because they are very, very old. Imagine… the hats we wear are more then 300 years old. People were smaller then. So the uniforms are really uncomfortable now, and very heavy. You want to move your head all the time, but you can’t, of course. The trousers are also old, and they are made of special kind of leather – also very uncomfortable, so we wear women’s tights under them. We don’t usually tell people about that, though!

Michelle.

Generally, I really like my uniform. It’s smart. I wear a white shirt, a black jacket, black trousers or skirt, a kind of black and white tie, and this lovely black and white hat. There is only one thing that I hate… the shoes! Police shoes are really very big and ugly.
