Do you know who William Shakespeare is? William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright(剧作家), who is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in English literature. He is often called England's national poet and the “Bard of Avon(吟游诗人)”. He wrote 38 plays and a number of poems in his life. Some of his plays, such as Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet are still put on today. There are thousands of people watching his plays in theatres every year. At the same time, he was an actor. He performed in plays for over twenty years. His plays have been translated into other languages and are performed more often than any other playwrights'.
Shakespeare was born into a poor family in 1564. His father was the owner of a shop and his mother was a housewife. Though the family was not rich, his parents sent him to school.

During his time in London, Shakespeare got a job in a theatre. And that was when he began to write plays.
Shakespeare died in 1616. He was a respected poet and playwright in his own day. His plays also remain highly popular today and are constantly(不断地)studied, performed and reinterpreted(重新诠释)in different cultural and political contexts throughout the world.
