I had a terrific holiday this summer. My mother, my dad, my sister and I flew to Egypt last June. We stayed in a wonderful hotel. It had 5 stars. We lived in a suite.There were 2 bathrooms, a huge living room where there was the biggest TV in the world. We had a spectacular view from our balcony overlooking the sandy beach at the Red sea.We went on bus tours to the Pyramids one day. They were great.I climed on the top of one pyramid and took a selfie there. My mother was a little worried but my father was proud of me. We went inside the pyramid and crawled up to its center. When we reached a small room we saw a tomb of a pharaoh. Although they did not allow photography inside the pyramid we managed to take some amazing pictures.The next day all my friends and schoolmates could enjoy them on the net.We bought some souvenirs and sweet treats for the grandma.The next morning we had to get up early to travel to the History museum in Cairo. My sister enjoyed it the most. As you know she studies history at the local university and had read a lot about the pharaohs and stuff. We did not need to hire a tour guide because Masha seemed to know everything! Some Russian speaking tourists were following us everywhere, listening carefully to our connoisseur . They aplauded Masha for her awesome excursion in the end.
We all enjoyed the visit to Cairo and are looking forward to our next trip there. We agreed that one day was not enough to explore Cairo.
The weather was scorching all the time we were there.In the mornings we hit the beach.I was in charge of getting fresh beach towels each morning. We loved a particular spot near the sea a little bit off the main people's traffic where we could avoid noisy sales people and screaming children with their chatty moms.
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.
Very soon, however, the actors were told that they could no longer use the land that their theatre was built on and the company had nowhere else to perform. There is a story that in the dead of night the whole acting troop took down their theatre, timber by timber, brick by brick. They carried it across the river and rebuilt it. The new theatre was called the Globe.
Shakespeare wrote 37 plays: 10 tragedies (such as Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, Macbeth), 17 comedies (such as As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing), 10 historical plays (such as Henry IV, Richard III.). He also left 7 books of poems.
Most of Shakespeare's plays were not published in his lifetime. So some of them may have been lost in the fire when the Globe burnt down in 1613.
Shakespeare spent the last years of his life at Stratford, where he died, ironically, on the same date as his birthday, the 23d of April, 1616. He was buried in the church of Stratford. A monument was erected to the memory of the great playwright in the Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey. In 1997, Shakespeare's Globe was restored.
Перевод
Уильям Шекспир, величайший и наиболее известный английский писатель, и, возможно, величайший драматург, когда-либо живущий, родился 23-го апреля 1564, в Стратфорде-на-Эйвоне.
Несмотря на свою известность, мы очень мало знаем о его жизни. В возрасте шести лет он был направлен в школу, но был вынужден оставить её в возрасте 13 лет. Его отец, Джон Шекспир, был перчаточником, и когда он залез в долги, Вильяму пришлось помогать ему в его ремесле.
То, что Уильям сделал между четырнадцатью и восемнадцатью годами не известно. В возрасте 18 лет, он женился на Энн Хэтэуэй. Энн была на восемь лет старше мужа, и брак не был счастливым.
Когда Шекспиру было 21, он отправился в Лондон. Мы не знаем, почему он покинул Стратфорд-он-Эйвон. Существует легенда, что первой работой Шекспира в Лондоне было держать лошадей богатых людей у дверей театра. Но никто не может быть уверен, что эта история правдива.
Позже Шекспир стал актером и членом весьма успешной труппы. Весьма вероятно, что "Комедия ошибок", "Ромео и Джульетта" и некоторые другие пьесы Шекспира были впервые сыграны на этой сцене.
Очень скоро, однако, актерам сказали, что они уже не могут использовать землю, на которой их театр был построен и труппе не было где играть. Существует легенда, что под покровом ночи вся труппа разобрала свой театр по бревну и по кирпичикам. Они перенесли его через реку и восстановили его. Новый театр был назван "Глобус".
Шекспир написал 37 пьес: 10 трагедий (такие как "Гамлет", "Король Лир", "Отелло", "Макбет "), 17 комедий ( "Как вам это понравится", "Двенадцатая ночь", "Много шума из ничего"), 10 исторических пьес (таких, как "Генрих IV", "Ричард III" .). Он также оставил 7 книг стихов.
Большинство пьес Шекспира не были опубликованы при его жизни. Некоторые из них могут быть утеряны в огне, когда "Глобус" сгорел в 1613 году.
Шекспир провел последние годы своей жизни в Стратфорде, где он умер, по иронии судьбы, в тот же день, когда родился, 23 апреля 1616. Он был похоронен в церкви Стратфорда. Памятник был воздвигнут в память великого драматурга в Уголоке Поэтов в Вестминстерском аббатстве. В 1997 году "Глобус" Шекспира был восстановлен.
