Hey there, my dear friend. Let's talk about music! What's your favourite genre? Are you into old or new kind of music?
Nowdays, teens tend to listen to hip-hop, rap or rock. Too bad they don't pay attention to classic, but what can we do here? It's their choice. I honestly don't know what's my fav genre since i listen to pretty much anything, as long as i like it. Like, when im down i tend to listen to some slow, sad music, but when i'm happy i listen to pop! Have to admit that i pop is #1 genre for me because it sounds really simple, and the lyrics are simple to remember, plus, the rhytm is always really good. I love to listen to music when i'm working out or outside, doing some stuff alone such as buying food in shop. Life without music is really boring after all. 
I used to learn guitar, but gave up on it since i have to pass exams pretty soon. Hope i'll catch up later.
Thanks for the talk, friend. Hope to chat with you sometime later.

My Favourite Writer (William Shakespeare).
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.
