Вильям Шекспир, different english topics

Nowadays people seem to read newspapers mostly. Many people are fond of reading detective stories or spy thrillers. I myself prefer books about politics, history, travel-books and biographies. It is my dream to become a student of the department of foreign languages and to be able to read the books by my favourite English and American writers in the original.

As for the American writers, I like to read books by Mark Twain and O’Henry.

I enjoy reading books by such English writers as Charles Dickens, Robert Stevenson, Walter Scott. My favourite English writer is William Shakespeare, one of the most outstanding personalities in the world literature.

William Shakespeare was bom in Stratford-upon-Avon not far from London. His father, John Shakespeare, came to Stratford from a village and opened a shop there. He never became a rich man but at one time he was an important official in the city. William Shakespeare lived in Stratford until he was twenty-one. He got

married and had three children. At the age of 21 William left Stratford for London to join a company of actors. He was a very good actor and an excellent playwright. William Shakespeare lived and worked in London for 25 years. By the end of the 16th century William Shakespeare and his friends had enough money to build their own theatre — the Globe.

In all Shakespeare wrote 37 plays, 2 long poems, a sonnet cycle of 155 small pieces.

William Shakespeare had a natural gift for comedy. In his comedies Two Gentlemen of Verona, As you Like It, The Twelfth Night William Shakespeare describes the adventures of young men and women, their love, friendship, happiness.

Shakespeare’s tragedies King Lear, Othello, Romeo and Juliet depict noblemen who opposed evil in the world. Since they were written there has never been a time when at least some of Shakespeare’s plays were not staged.

In England and other countries it is the highest honour for an actor to be invited to play in a comedy or a tragedy by Shakespeare. In the last 35 years all the plays by W. Shakespeare have been filmed. Since 1879 Shakespeare’s Festival has been held every year at Stratford-upon-Avon.

В наше время люди читают, в основном, газеты. Многим людям нравится читать детективы или сенсационные романы о шпионах. Лично я люблю читать книги о политике, истории, путешествиях и автобиографические романы. Я мечтаю стать студентом факультета иностранных языков и уметь читать книги моих любимых английских и американских писателей в оригинале.

Что касается американских писателей, мне нравится читать книги Марка Твена и О’Генри. Я люблю читать книги таких английских писате лей, как Чарлз Диккенс, Роберт Стивенсон, Вальтер Скотт. Мой любимый английский писатель — Вильям Шекспир, одна из наиболее выдающихся личностей в мировой литературе.

Вильям Шекспир родился в Стрэтфорде-на-Эйвоне, недалеко от Лондона. Его отец, Джон Шекспир, приехал в Стрэтфорд из деревни и открыл там магазин. Он не стал богатым человеком, но одно время был важным чиновником в городе. Вильям Шекспир жил в Стрэтфорде до тех пор, пока ему исполнился 21 год. Он женился, и у него было трое детей. В возрасте 21-го года Вильям уехал из Стрэтфорда в Лондон и присоединился к актерской труппе. Он был хорошим актером и прекрасным драматургом.

Вильям Шекспир жил и работал в Лондоне 25 лет. К концу XVI века Вильям Шекспир и его друзья заработали достаточно денег, чтобы построить свой собственный театр Глобус.

Всего Шекспир написал 37 пьес, 2 поэмы и цикл сонетов, состоящий из 155 произведений.

У Вильяма Шекспира был природный талант комедиографа. В своих комедиях Два веронца, Как вам это нравится, Двенадцатая ночь Вильям Шекспир описывал приключения юношей и девушек, их любовь, дружбу, счастье.

В трагедиях Король Лир, Отелло, Ромео и Джульетта Шекспир изображает дворян, противостоящих мировому злу. С тех пор как они были написаны, не было такого времени, когда хотя бы некоторые пьесы Шекспира не ставились.

В Англии и других странах для актера нет высшей чести, чем быть приглашенным играть в комедии или трагедии Шекспира. В последние 35 лет все пьесы Шекспира были экранизированы. В Стрэтфорде-на-Эйвоне с 1879 г. каждый год проводится Шекспировский фестиваль.
