History Assignment

Hello! I'm William Shakespeare. I was born in April, 1564 and the birthplace was Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick shire, England. My father was John Shakespeare. Well no one knows the actual day I was born, even I didn't know it myself. And I was dead in the 23rd of April, 1616. On my death date, I was just fifty-two years old. That was really a pity I dead so early. I, was such clever. I married with Anne Hathaway in the 28th of November, 1582. On the later days, I got a total of three children. Their names were Susanna, Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet and Judith were twins.

I was a playwright and poet. I wrote many plays. Well, I can tell you some of them. There were comedy and tragedy. Comedy such as "As You Like It", "Twelfth Night or What You Will", "The Merchant of Venice" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream". They were the four most famous comedy. And tragedy, although they were sad, but they were terrific too. Such as, "Macbeth", "King Lear", "Hamlet" and "Othello". They were the four most famous. But I like another one, "Romeo and Juliet" the best. And some poems, such as "The Sonnets", "A Lover's Complaint" and "The Rape of Lucrece".

I was proud of my pieces very much. I wrote such great work. People even called me "Bard of Avon". But, maybe nowadays somebody jealous me. They said that I didn't write pieces myself. The pieces were wrote by Edward de Vere, or whoever else. I was shocked by this news. I was disappointed, and also sad. I hope they will not take away my name of "Bard of Avon". And I hope they will know that I wrote my pieces all by myself.

For being the first student to complete the assignment in the manner in which I originally envisaged, you don't get extra credit; but you do get a very lenient mark!

You've summarized William's life well, and have used the passive voice skillfully, though there are still past participles to improve!
