My Favourite Writer (William Shakespeare). William Shakespeare, the greatest and most famous of English writers, and probably the greatest playwright who has ever lived, was bom on the 23d of April, 1564, in Stratford-on-Avon.In spite of his fame we know very little about his life. At the age of six he was sent to school, but had to leave it at the age of 13. His father, John Shakespeare, was a glove-maker, and when he fell into debt, William had to help him in the trade.Just what William did between his fourteenth and eighteenth year isn't known. At the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. Ann was eight years older than her husband and the marriage wasn't a happy one.When Shakespeare was twenty-one, he went to London. We don't know why he left Stratford-on-Avon. There is a story that Shakespeare's first job in London was holding rich men's horses at the theatre door. But nobody can be sure that this story is true.Later, Shakespeare became an actor and a member of a very successful acting company. It's highly probable that The Comedy of Errors, Romeo and Juliet and some other plays by Shakespeare were performed for the first time on this stage.
Winnie –The - Pooh (is) the famous creation of Alexander Alan Milne. Winnie (is not) very clever and (does) a lot of silly things and his love for honey (is) endless, yet this little bear (becomes) everyone’s favourite.A.A. Milne (has) a long and successful career writing poems, magazine articles, plays and even a detective novel, but he always (remembers) for creating Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Christopher Robin.In real life Christopher Robin (is) Milne’s son. When he (is) a small boy he (plays) with the real Winnie –the –Pooh, a bear his parents (buy) at Harrods and (give) him for his first birthday. After the age of four, Christopher Robin (spends) much of his time in the country, playing in the woods with his beloved Pooh, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger. His parents (can not) spend much time with him during his ‘nursery years’, and the centre of his life (is) his much-loved nanny.In his autobiography Christopher Robin (says) that his father (is not) very good at relating to children, and to make up for that he (writes) stories about his sons, his toys and his games.Winnie first (appears) in book form in Winnie –the – Pooh in 1926 and The House at Pooh Corner.
