A FAMOUS WRITER

Good morning,

As we know, Books are the treasure house of knowledge. A saying is:

“A ROOM WOTHOUT BOOKS IS LIKE A BODY WITHOUT SOUL.”

The importance of reading books is gaining new insight or perspectives on issues. Books give people inspiration in life. A good book will provide you hope when you are down, and comfort when you are sad.

Reading a book is so important. By book reading, you can expose yourself to new things, improve yourself and can get inspiration etc.

My hobby is also book reading. I believe:

“THE JOY OF READING BOOKS CAN’T BE DESCRIBED IN WORDS. IT’S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ONLY BY ACTUAL EXPERIENCE.”

So today, I am going to tell you about my favourite and a famous writer.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

William was and English poet and actor widely regarded as the greatest writer in English language and the world’s pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England’s national poet and the “Bard of Avon.”

His extant works, including some collaborations consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems and a few other verses.

Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer and a part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later known as the King’s Men.

Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories and these works remain regarded as some of the best work produced in those genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth, considered some of the finest works in the English language.

Here a question arises, “Why is Shakespeare so important and famous?”

Because of:

Shakespeare’s ability to summarize the range of human emotions in simple yet profoundly eloquent verse is perhaps the greatest reason for his enduring popularity. His saying is:

“WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE, BUT KNOW NOT WHAT WE MAY BE.”

If you can’t find words to express how you feel about music or growing older, Shakespeare can speak for you.

William Shakespeare was the most remarkable storyteller that the world has ever known. Shakespeare’s stories transcend time and culture. We can say:

“HE WAS NOT OF AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME.”

When Shakespeare retired from London around 1610, he spent the last few years of his life in Stratford-upon-Avon’s largest house which he purchased in 1597. It is believed that Shakespeare’s death occurred in this house. William Shakespeare died on 23 April 1616 on his 52^th birthday (Shakespeare was born on 23 April 1564). In truth, the exact date is not known as only a record of his burial has survived.

In short, he is a great writer in history of English. His books and characters can inspire people.

“SOME ARE BORN GREAT,

SOME ACHIEVE GREATNESS, AND

SOME HAVE GREATNESS, TRUST UPON THEM.”

Thanks for your attention.
