Task. Read the text and do the tasks below. (1 point for each right answer) William Shakespeare

“ To be or not to be – that is the question!” Those words come from “Hamlet”, a play that William Shakespeare wrote in 1603. William Shakespeare is the most famous British playwright in history. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon on 23 April, 1564. Families were big in those days. William had seven brothers and sisters. He learned Latin and studied the literature. He was interested in the group of actors who travelled from town to town and put on plays in schools, churches, halls. William went to see them after school. We don’t know exactly when and why he became an actor and playwright. All we know is that in 1592 he wrote his first play. After that, his plays became popular very quickly and he made a lot of money. Shakespeare built a theatre – The Globe in the centre of London. It was one of London’s first theatres. The people loved going to the theatre. The audience was usually noisy, often clapping and cheering the actors. There were only actors, no actresses. Young boys played the parts of women.
