We moved here

Continuing our monthly interviews with people

who come to live in Britain This month we

spoke to Ben Jacobs in Norwich.

I’MDUTCH– I’M FROMHOLLAND Inge, my

wife, is from Switzerland We met four

years ago when we were both studying

Spanish in Madrid We graduated three years

ago and then we got married.’

‘Six months after we got married, I got a job at

UEA – the University of East Anglia – here in

Norwich At that time, Inge was working as a

translator but she didn’t like it very much Now

she teaches modern languages in a high

school It’s hard work but she enjoys it.’

‘Some people think the country around

Norwich is boring because it’s very flat with

lots of rivers I like it because it looks like

home – the fields look the same as the ones

in the old Dutch paintings Inge doesn’t mind it

but she prefers mountains The North Sea is

only forty kilometres away so it doesn’t take a

long time to drive there The sea is always

freezing – I went swimming once last year but

I don’t think I’ll do it again! Our favourite place for a weekend away is a small town on the coast, Southwold.’

‘The city of Norwich is great – there are lots of things to do and the history is interesting too I found out that Dutch immigrants came here in the 16th century so I’m not alone There is a beautiful cathedral next to the river and a museum in the castle in the centre of the city Inge loves sport and goes to watch the local football team when they play in Norwich Last summer, she started playing tennis That’s where she is today – she’s playing tennis with her friends from work.’

‘When we first came here, we thought we were

in the wrong country! We both spoke good English but we couldn’t understand what people were saying! The accent in Norwich is unusual but now it isn’t a problem We both think the people are friendly but the sense of humour is strange Sometimes the people that I

work with laugh about something and I can’t understand why it’s funny

in 1903, increasing numbers of

people have taken to the air In the

one hundred years since then the

number of people flying has gone up

annually and at the moment about 800

million passengers fly each year

Currently, the world s biggest passenger

plane is the jumbo jet, with seats for more

than 500 people But in 2006 the Airbus

A380 — or super-jumbo — will be in the air

These new planes will be 35% bigger and,

like a red London bus, will be double-decker

with seats on two levels There will be space

for more than 800 passengers but most

airlines will have seats for about 600 people

The rest of the space will be used for

facilities which might include self-service

cafes, bars, gyms, shops, bedrooms for first

class travellers and even a cr che where

parents can leave their babies

Super-jumbo

f

The world s airports will have to make some changes to their buildings to cope with the bigger planes and the increased number of passengers For example, inside the terminals there will be more check-in desks and bigger luggage belts Outside, runways will be made wider and the jetties and gangways will be made bigger

The parts of the Airbus A380 are made in France, Germany, Spain, and Britain The pieces are than taken to Toulouse in France, where the planes are built Local roads have been made wider and trees have been cut down to allow the enormous components to travel to the factory

Although the planes are big, the makers say that they will cause less environmental damage They will use less fuel and they will

be quieter And, because they carry so many people, there will be fewer journeys
