English writer: William Shakespeare
English writer: William Shakespeare
I would like to tell about a writer who became a
symbol of the English literature.
William Shakespeare, the greatest English poet and
dramatist, was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon in England. When he was 13
he left school and began to help his father in the trade. He was glad when
groups of actors visited Stratford. William watched them and decided to become
an actor.
William went to London when he was about 21. He began
to work in London holding the horses of those people who came to see the plays
at the theatre.
Later he became an actor and then he began to write
plays himself. Very many of his plays were performed in a London theatre called
The Globe. Life itself was shown in his plays. Shakespeare’s heroes are still
on the stage in his plays Othello, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and other.
William Shakespeare died at the stage of 52 and was
buried in fine old Parish Church in Stratford-upon-Avon.
His plays and poems were translated into many foreign
languages. People all over the world enjoy them. As for me, I like
Shakespeare’s sonnets very much. They tell about great love and beautiful dame
and a man is a knight. They are ordinary people but great love makes their
feelings beautiful. Maybe, that is why I like the sonnets. I hope someday to
read his poems and plays in English and enjoy them in the original.
