I. Read and translate the text.

William Shakespeare

There have been many great writers in the history of English literature, but

there is no doubt about which writer was the greatest. Many people consider

William Shakespeare to have been the best writer who ever lived.

Shakespeare’s most famous plays include Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth,

Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, and Julius Caesar. Usually, Shakespeare did not

invent the stories that he told in his plays. Instead, he wrote his plays using

stories that already existed. However, Shakespeare’s plays told these stories

in a more interesting way than ever before. Some of the stories were

tragedies, some were comedies, and some described historical events.

In his plays, Shakespeare revealed a very wide knowledge of many areas of

life. The characters in his plays discuss many different topics, often with the

knowledge of experts. But what is even more impressive about these plays is

Shakespeare’s use of the English language. His vocabulary was very large,

and Shakespeare seems to have introduced many words to the language! Also,

many of the phrases that are said by Shakespeare’s characters are now used in

everyday conversation. Today, writers often use quotations from

Shakespeare’s plays in their own works.

But perhaps even the most impressive features of Shakespeare’s plays are

the characters within them. The many characters in his plays seem very

different from each other, but they seem very realistic. The emotions they

feel, the words they say, and the actions they perform are all easily

understood. Many people who watch one of Shakespeare’s plays will find that

they know people who remind them somewhat of the characters in those

plays.
