2. Last night I got home at 6.30 p.m., a little later than usual. I had stayed longer at work because my boss wanted to discuss a pay increase. So, I was in a good mood when I arrived home! Unfortunately that didn't last long. When I opened the front door, there was water all over the floor. My daughter had left a tap running in the bathroom earlier and she had gone out. The water had come through the ceiling. It cost a fortune to repair. I certainly need that salary increase!

William Shakespeare is the greatest of all playwrights and poets of all times. Not much is known of his life. He was probably the son of a businessman and was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He probably attended the local grammar school and got a classical education. In 1582 he married Anne Hathaway and had 3 children. Little is known of his life before 1592, when he appeared as a playwright in London. Soon he became an actor playing supporting roles like the ghost in "Hamlet". In 1599 Shakespeare became a part owner of the Globe Theatre in London.
Shakespeare's work as a playwright is subdivided into 3 periods. Written in the first period, Shakespeare's plays are mostly history plays like "Henry VI", and comedies with strong elements of farce. His masterpiece of this period is "Romeo and Juliet". Shakespeare was a great poet and would be well known for his poetry alone. His major achievement as a poet is his sonnets, first published in 1609. A sonnet is a poem consisting of 14 lines, with a moral at the end.
