1、   Who is the greatest English writer? The person should be William Shakespeare (莎士比亚). His popular expressions like “to be or not to be, that is a question” are spread everywhere在他的一生中，他写了大量的作品。

Willam Shakespeare was born in a small town in England in 1564. He was educated at the King’s New School, a free grammar school that was located in Stratford. There he studied the basic Latin text and grammar. 据说在学校，比起数学他更喜欢学习语言。 Later, he moved to London and began to work as a writer. By 1594, he had become an important writer in London.

Whether comedies or tragedies (悲剧), Shakespeare’s plays always touch people’s hearts. His comedies make a joke on human weaknesses and always have happy endings. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, fairies (仙子). play magical tricks on people who get lost in the woods. His tragedies, however, can be very dark. Macbeth tells the story about a man who becomes a king by killing a lot of people.

Of course, Shakespeare wrote his plays over 400 years ago. His English is very different from that of today. But it doesn’t influence his popularity. His plays which have been translated into other languages are also popular in the world.

William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616. He was 52 years old at the time of his death. But Shakespeare truly has a great influence on English and even many other languages.
