Okay, now let's get started.

So, who was William Shakespeare?

And why is he famous?

You know, I find it very hard to believe that you've never heard of William Shakespeare.

But just in case, I'll give you a brief introduction.

Although most people believe that William Shakespeare is the

most celebrated British writer of all time, only a few know that he was also an actor. And even though

it's been over 400 years since he died, people still celebrate his work all

over the world.

His plays were the most popular at the time, and I'm sure you've already heard of Macbeth,

Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet.

Well, I guess you know who I'm talking about.
