The life of William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was a famous English writer of plays and poems. He wrote about thirty-eight plays, 154 short poems and a few long poems in his life. Two of his famous plays are Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford, England. Like many people 400 years ago, Shakespeare’s parents didn’t learn to read or write. At school he liked plays, so he decided to be an actor when he finished school at fourteen. He married in 1582 and had three children.
