“My grandfather, Isaac Berlin, left his nativetown in Russia in 1890. He was the first of six brothers to leave home. He was going to America, the land of abundance, because he lived in terrible poverty, and also because there was religious persecution. After all, he
was the son of a rabbi. With only the money for his ticket and his food, he took a train to Hamburg. Then he travelled by sea to Liverpool, where he boarded a transatlantic liner bound for New York. At last, after twenty days, they sailed into New York Harbour. Grandpa was only just seventeen. He cried with joy when he saw the Statue of Liberty, but before he was allowed into America, he was taken to Ellis Island, the immigration station. It was a morbid place filled with five thousand other immigrants like Grandpa. For three days the officials checked his papers, gave him medical inspections and asked him questions. Grandpa did not speak any English, so an interpreter was called to help the immigration officer. Once it was all over, he got on a ferry to Manhattan. There a Jewish charity took him to the Lower East Side, where he earned his living as a sales boy. At night he slept at the back of the shop on potato bags. He worked long hours for very little money. Because he wanted to learn English, he bought Shakespeare’s Complete Works, which he recited at night without understanding a word. He once told me that the music of the verse sounded like Russian to him. Grandpa married my grandma, who was a hat maker, in 1906. They lived in a two-room apartment without any heating, so in winter they were often cold. However, they were very happy. In 1912 they both took American nationality. When my father was born the following year, Grandpa and Grandma felt really American. They loved New York and Grandpa was fascinated by the great bridges and skyscrapers that were being built. He said to my father: “I want you to become an architect and build skyscrapers that reach for the sky. So you must study hard and go to the university.” And that’s just what my father did, but he did not become an architect. He became a university professor instead, and he specialized in Shakespeare. In the end it was I who became an architect, and who fulfilled Grandpa’s wish.”

What does the Queen like eating?

A former chef in the royal kitchens has revealed that “the Queen is not a foodie”. Here is what the queen typically eats.

Breakfast
She enjoys eating some biscuits and drinking an Earl Grey tea (no milk, no sugar) as a pre-breakfast. Then, she usually eats cereals, yoghurt and she often picks toasts with marmalade. She also likes maple syrup.

Lunch
A chef says that a typical lunch would be fish with vegetables. She often has spinach.

Afternoon tea
Her favourite cakes are honey and cream sponge, ginger cake and chocolate biscuit.
She often has sandwiches with cucumber, smoked salmon, egg, mayonnaise or ham and mustard sandwiches. The queen also loves jam pennies (small raspberry jam sandwiches).
Of course, she always takes her favourite Earl Grey tea.

Dinner
Evening meals for the queen consist of meat or fish.
Finally, she enjoys white peaches, strawberries and other fresh fruit in summer

Hello, my name is Emma and I'm from London. I really love sports. My favourite sport is baseball, but I also like playing basketball et doing judo. However I don't like boxing because I think it's too violent. I often do gym with my best friend but I rarely play tennis. My favourite football team is Manchester United, they are the best. When you play football you must run very fast and respect the other players but you mustn't take the ball with your hands.
