William Shakespeare was the greatest English writer of all time. He wrote thirty-seven plays in all. His stories are almost known in every comer of the world.
William Shakespeare was bom in Stratford,a small town in England,in 1564. He decided to be an actor when he finished school at the age of fourteen. In 1582,he married the 26-year-old Anne Hathaway who was a farmer's daughter. Their first child was a daughter. Later they had twins. In 1585,Shakespeare left his hometown. His wife and children stayed behind. No one knows why he left or what he did between 1585 and 1592. These years are called “the lost years”. In his youth,he moved to London and began a career as a playwright. By 1594,he had become a key playwright of a popular acting company in the city.
Although Shakespeare is famous as a playwright,he once was an actor and poet. He usually acted in his own plays. He earned almost no money from his writing. But he made a lot of money from acting. At the age of forty-nine,Shakespeare retired. Shakespeare spent the last five years of his life in Stratford. He died on 23 April 1616.
Of course,Shakespeare wrote 400 years ago and his English was very different from that of today. He is a master of words. He coined about 1 ,700 English words,including everyday ones like “ lonely ” and “hurry,”according to the New York Post.
