Learn English Through Story
Chapter 1: A Curious Mind
Mark Zuckerberg was born in 1984, in White Plains, New York, USA. From a young age, Mark loved computers. While other kids played games, Mark created them. His father, a dentist, gave him an old computer, and Mark started writing software before he was even 12.
When he was a teenager, he built a messaging system for his dad’s dental office. He called it “ZuckNet.” It helped the family communicate without shouting across the house.
Chapter 2: Harvard and a Big Idea
In 2002, Mark entered Harvard University. He was studying computer science and psychology.
At college, students wanted a way to connect online. They wanted to see who was in their classes, clubs, and dorms. Mark had an idea.
In 2004, he launched a website from his dorm room. It was first called “TheFacebook.” It was only for Harvard students—but it quickly spread to other colleges.
Mark dropped out of Harvard to work on the website full-time.
Chapter 3: Facebook Grows
Facebook became very popular. By 2006, anyone over 13 could join. It was different from other websites—it used real names, photos, and helped people stay in touch with friends and family.
Mark moved the company to Silicon Valley, California. He was only 23 years old when Facebook had millions of users.
He became one of the youngest billionaires in the world.
Chapter 4: Challenges and Criticism

Privacy concerns
Fake news and misinformation
The impact of social media on mental health
Governments and users began to ask questions:
Who controls our data? Can social media influence elections?
Mark had to testify in court and answer tough questions from leaders around the world.
Chapter 5: Building the Metaverse
In 2021, Mark announced a new vision. He renamed the company Meta. The goal? To build a Metaverse—a digital world where people could work, play, and connect using virtual reality.
Some people were excited. Others were unsure. But Mark believed it was the future of the internet.
Chapter 6: The Man Behind the Screen
Mark is known for his simple lifestyle. He often wears a grey T-shirt and jeans. He is married to Priscilla Chan, a doctor, and they have three children.
Together, they started the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, donating billions of dollars to education, science, and health.
“The greatest successes come from having the freedom to fail,” Mark once said.
