The day the first website was published – level 2

06-08-1991

Tim Berners-Lee was born in London in 1955. Both his parents were computer scientists. Tim made his first computer during his university years.

After his studies, he started to work in Switzerland. In 1980, he created a program that was able to connect two computers in one company. It was great, but Tim wanted more. He wanted to connect computers all around the world. He created a new program that made it possible.

On August 6, 1989, he put the first website on the Internet. It was the beginning of the next phase in the information revolution. Thanks to his invention, today we can get information from all over the world with a few clicks.

Difficult words: phase (one of many parts of a process), invention (a new instrument which helps people), a few (not many).

What impact do you believe Tim Berners-Lee's invention has had on people's lives today?
