Imagine you are in a grocery store and you want to find a specific type of candy. You can either keep walking down each aisle until you find it, OR you can ask someone who works there for help. In a similar way, when you want to find information on the internet, you use a search engine like Google to help you look for it.
Now, when you find what you are looking for on the internet, the web page that you are reading has its own unique address, kind of like your house has its own address. This address is called a URL or a web address. You can see it at the top of your web browser.
Sometimes, you may want to find a specific part of the web page again. Just like a chapter or a page number in a book, each part of the web page has its own address too. This is called an anchor or a hash. You can see it at the end of the web address and it looks like this: #example.
So, the next time you want to find information on the internet again, you can simply type in the URL or web address or add the anchor after the web address to get to the specific part of the web page you want to see. It's like telling your friend which aisle the candy is in, so they can go straight to it without wandering around the store.
