The Great Bard

William Shakespeare is one of the most famous writers of all. For hundreds of years his plays have been running in theatres all over the world in just about every language there is. Shakespeare’s plays were fantastically popular in his own time and they still are today.

The great author was born in 1564 on 23 April to John and Mary Shakespeare. John Shakespeare was a glove maker and the family was quite comfortable. They lived in Stratford-upon-Avon, a small but busy town in central England. John Shakespeare sent his son William to school. When the boy left it at the age of about 14, he had to work in the family business. William Shakespeare didn’t go to university and never received a university education.

He married early, at the age of 18. He and his wife Anne had three children, two girls and a boy. Sadly, the boy died when he was just 11.

Then suddenly Shakespeare left Stratford for London. We don’t know for sure why he did it. A lot of people believe that he was thrilled by the idea of becoming an actor. In those days theatre was a very popular and not expensive form of entertainment in the country. People watched all kinds of plays which travelling theatre groups performed in the streets and squares. The performances were rather primitive ['primitiv]: there was no scenery, no music, no special effects. Probably Shakespeare joined one of such groups when he decided to devote his life to acting.

The city of London was noisy, dangerous and possibly very dirty in those days. There were several theatres, or playhouses. One of them, the Theatre, was popular with Queen Elizabeth I herself. Here Shakespeare began his acting career and later started to write plays. In those days the tastes of the audiences were very different from what we like now. Theatre-goers enjoyed it when they saw cruel scenes [si:nz] or when there was blood all over the stage (they used sheep blood to produce the effect). Tragedies in which the central characters died at the end were especially popular with the public ['pʌblik].

B. You probably don’t know the marked words. Did you understand them? What helped you to understand their meanings: a) the way the words look and sound or b) the context?

C. Listen, (30), and read the text again.

Решение 2.

6. A. Перед чтением текста скажите: а) что вы знаете о Уильяме Шекспире и б) что бы вы хотели узнать. Прочитайте текст, чтобы увидеть, дает ли он ответы на ваши вопросы.

Ответ:

a) I know that William Shakespeare was a very famous English writer. He wrote many plays, and the most famous ones are probably Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. I think he lived a long time ago. (Я знаю, что Уильям Шекспир был очень известным английским писателем. Он написал много пьес, и самые известные из них, наверное, «Ромео и Джульетта» и «Гамлет». Я думаю, он жил очень давно.)

b) I would like to know more about his family and his life before he became famous. I'm also curious why he decided to write plays and how theatres were different back then. (Я бы хотел(а) узнать больше о его семье и его жизни до того, как он стал знаменитым. Мне также любопытно, почему он решил писать пьесы и чем театры отличались в те времена.)

The text answered some of my questions. It told me about his father's job, his wife and children, and that he left school early. It also described what theatres were like in his time, which was very interesting. (Текст ответил на некоторые мои вопросы. Он рассказал мне о работе его отца, его жене и детях, и о том, что он рано ушел из школы. Он также описал, какими были театры в его время, что было очень интересно.)

B. Вы, вероятно, не знаете выделенных слов. Вы их поняли? Что помогло вам понять их значение: а) то, как слова выглядят и звучат, или б) контекст?

Ответ:

Yes, I think I understood most of the marked words. The main thing that helped me understand their meanings was b) the context. For example, the text says "theatres, or playhouses", which made it clear they are the same thing. For the word "primitive", it explained that there was "no scenery, no music, no special effects", so I understood it means something simple. For "cruel scenes", it gave an example about blood on the stage. (Да, думаю, я понял(а) большинство выделенных слов. Главное, что помогло мне понять их значения, это б) контекст. Например, в тексте говорится «theatres, or playhouses», что дало понять, что это одно и то же. Для слова «primitive» (примитивный) было объяснено, что не было «ни декораций, ни музыки, ни спецэффектов», так что я понял(а), что это означает что-то простое. Для «cruel scenes» (жестокие сцены) был приведен пример про кровь на сцене.)

C. Прослушайте (30) и прочитайте текст снова.
