Teacher: Good evening everybody! The meeting of our club is dedicated to the greatest playwright in world literature: William Shakespeare. I hope all of you will take an active part in it. Listen to some facts from William Shakespeare’s biography and the time when he lived and worked.

Pupil 1: The name of Shakespeare is known all over the world. The last half of the 16-th and the beginning of 17-th centuries are known as the Golden Age of English Renaissance and sometimes are called the Age of Shakespeare.

Pupil 2: People often call Shakespeare “Our National Bard”, The Immortal Poet of Nature. We really know few facts of his life and many of them are doubtful. But some of them are proved by documents.

Pupil 1: The first facts from Shakespeare’s biography are that he was born on April 23, 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon. His father was a dealer in corn, meat, wool. William’s mother was a daughter of a rich farmer in the village of Wilmcote.

Pupil 2: We also know that being 18 years old, William married Anna Hathaway, who was 9 years older than himself. They had a daughter Susanna and twins –son Hamnet and daughter Judith.

Pupil 1: It’s known that in 1567 Shakespeare went to London to find a job, where he began writing plays staged at the Globe Theatre. By1592 he had been an important member of a well- known acting company.

Pupil 2: It is known that only in 1611, at the height of his fame Shakespeare returned to Stratford, where in April 23, 1616 he died. He was buried in a fine old church in Stratford.

Teacher: You have mentioned the main facts in Shakespeare’s biography. Now I’d like you to agree or disagree with some facts from William Shakespeare’s life:

1. Shakespeare was born in the 17-th century. Is it true?

2. William got a good education in London.

3. William married late, his wife was younger than him.

4. William Shakespeare had three children daughter Susanna and twin-sons.

5. Shakespeare never acted on stage.

6. Shakespeare died in London and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

7.  Shakespeare wrote 47 plays 154 sonnets 2 poems.

Teacher: Thank you for your answers. I see you know Shakespeare’s life rather well. As you know in London Shakespeare became an actor of the Globe Theatre and began to write plays for it. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and historical plays. I’m sure you know them well. So your next act is to divide his plays into tragedies and comedies.

Teacher: Listen to this account from one of Shakespeare’s plays and tell us what play is it from. What mostly troubled the young prince was uncertainty about his father’s death. Claudius told everybody that snake had bitten the King. The young prince, however, suspected that Claudius himself had killed the king. How right was he? What ought he to think of his mother. ( From Hamlet, Prince of Denmark)

Teacher: What was the name of young prince? You are right. His name was Hamlet. Now listen to the extract from his famous play.

Pupil: To be or not to be, that is a question:

           Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer

           The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

           Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,  

           And by opposing, end of them? To die-, to sleep,

           No more, and, by a sleep to say we end

           The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks

           That flesh in heir to; ‘tis a consummation

           Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep-

           To sleep, perchance to dream…

Быть или не быть- таков вопрос;

Что благородней думам- покоряться

Пращам и стрелам яростной судьбы

Иль, ополчась на море смут, сразить их

Противоборством? Умереть, уснуть-

И только и сказать, что сном кончаешь

Тоску и тысячу природных мук

Наследье плоти,- как такой развязки

Не жаждать? Умереть, уснуть.-Уснуть!

Teacher: “To be or not to be, that is the question”

Это высказывание знакомо всем, но не все знают о существовании других высказываний Шекспира.

Translate some of them:

1. The beginning at the end.- Начало конца.

2. The whirling of time.- Превратности судьбы

3. There’s the rub.-Вот в чём загвоздка.

4. All is well, that ends well.- Всё хорошо, что хорошо кончается.

5. To win golden opinions.- Заслужить благоприятное мнение.

Shakespeare wrote many sonnets (154). They are very popular and loved  by our people. All of them were translated into different languages. Listen to some of them.
