ONE DAY IN HISTORY

On the morning of Wednesday l8th October 2006 5O,OOO people in the UK sat down at their computers. They wrote a
blog about what they did the day before for a history website. The idea was to give a picture of life at the beginning of the
2lst century.

1 Pauline, From Birmingham

Yesterday was our l0th wedding anniversary. The day was very typical, but the evening was special. I went to work by car
as usual. The traffic was terrible, and I was very stressed. The day went fast. At 4.00 I went to pick up my children from
the nursery. We went to Pizza Hut and they had a pizza. When my husband came home he had a fantastic surprise for
me - a present! A trip to Paris on the Eurostar. I didn’t have a present for him... Terrible! But we had a good dinner and a
bottle of apple juice. We went to
bed happy.

2 Nick, from Glascow

4.25 a.m. I got up.
5.45 a.m. I went for a swim - 280 lengths. (At the weekend I sometimes do 400 lengths)
9.30 a.m. went to work. Nothing special.
4.30 p.m. went home, and I had a sandwich.
7.50 p.m. went to bed

3 Rachel, from Manchester

School as usual. In the afternoon we had history. It was good. Then English - we had a film. At 3.20 we went home and I
went on the computer on MSN. Then I did my homework and had dinner. After dinner it was the big match on TV –
Manchester United at home to Copenhagen in the Champions
League ...3-0 to United. Brilliant! I went to bed late.

I had to play a football game in just one month, found a coach, he said “if practice football every day, you will always
succeed”, finally, the day came, I played the match, It was a peak emotional state during the whole game, at the end of
game we won.
