PART 2 (second level)

William Shakespeare, the greatest English writer of drama, was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon. We don’t know everything about Shakespeare’s early life. But we know that he studied at the Grammar School in Stratford, and that he became interested in the theatre when he was still a boy.

In 1586 Shakespeare went to London, where he worked in the theatre for some years before he began to write his own plays.

Shakespeare soon became well-known in London literary circles. Every play that he wrote was good news to the people of the capital. Queen Elizabeth I liked Shakespeare’s plays, and the actors were often invited to play before the Queen. By the end of the 16th century Shakespeare and his friends built their own theatre – the famous Globe Theatre.

Shakespeare had many difficulties in his life. Less talented writers, whose plays were worse than his, often quarreled with Shakespeare and attacked him, the actors in his own theatre sometimes did not agree with him.

Now people in many countries love Shakespeare for his plays, comedies and tragedies that are still modern and well-known all over the world.

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio was born on November 11, 1974, in Los Angeles. DiCaprio's father is of Italian and German descent. In an interview in Russia, DiCaprio referred to himself as "half-Russian" and said that two of his grandparents were Russian. DiCaprio's parents met while attending college and subsequently moved to Los Angeles, California.
DiCaprio was named Leonardo because his pregnant mother was looking at a Leonardo da Vinci painting in the Uffizi museum in Florence, Italy, when he first kicked. His parents separated when he was a year old, and he lived mostly with his mother. The two lived in several Los Angeles neighborhoods, such as Echo Park and Los Feliz (his Los Feliz residence was later converted into a public library), while his mother worked several jobs. DiCaprio attended Seeds Elementary School (now UCLA Lab School) and John Marshall High School a few blocks away. Studies for four years. He dropped out of high school following his third year, eventually earning his general equivalency diploma (GED). DiCaprio spent part of his childhood in Germany with his maternal grandparents, Wilhelm and Helene.

ПЕРЕВОД:
Леонардо Вильгельм ДиКаприо родился 11 ноября 1974 года в Лос-Анджелесе. Отец ДиКаприо имеет итальянские и немецкие корни. В интервью в России ДиКаприо назвал себя «наполовину русским» и сказал, что одни его бабушка и дедушка были русскими. Родители ДиКаприо встретились во время учебы в колледже, а затем переехали в Лос-Анджелес, штат Калифорния.
ДиКаприо был назван Леонардо, потому что его беременная мать рассматривала картину Леонардо да Винчи в музее Уффици во Флоренции, Италия, когда он впервые толкнулся. Его родители разошлись, когда ему был один год, и он жил в основном с матерью. Они жили в окрестностях Лос-Анджелеса, например Echo Park и Los Feliz (его резиденция в Лос-Фелисе позже была преобразована в публичную библиотеку), в то время как его мать работала на нескольких работах. ДиКаприо посещал Seeds Elementary School (ныне UCLA Lab School) и среднюю школу Джона Маршалла в нескольких кварталах от дома. Его исключили из старшей школы после своего третьего года обучения, но он в конце концов получил general equivalency diploma (GED). ДиКаприо провел часть своего детства в Германии со своими бабушкой и дедушкой по материнской линии, Вильгельмом и Элен.
