Interpretação de texto em Inglês, com gabarito - Willian Shakespeare

Willian Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford in 1564. His father, John Shakespeare, was an important man in the town — William did not come from a poor family.

In 1582, William married Anne Hathaway in Stratford. But he didn't want to stay there. He wanted to be an actor and the best theatres were in London. So, in 1587, William went to London, where he worked as an actor in a theatre called The Rose.

He began to write plays for the actors. He wrote Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Richard II, Antony and Cleopatra and many more. Everyone liked his plays, and he became famous.

When James I became King in 1603, Shakespeare worked for him, and performed his plays for the King and his friends. He also worked at the famous Globe Theatre. This theatre presented his last play, Henry VIII. There was a gun in this play, and fire from the gun burned the theatre down.

In 1610, Shakespeare went back to Stratford. He wanted to live there with his family, but he died on the day of his birthday, April 23rd. On exactly the same day, another great writer died in Madrid. His name was Miguel de Cervantes.
