William Shakespeare is probably the best-known of all writers of plays and poetry, in any language, in the world. His plays are read and acted in almost every country of the world. His poems are among the very finest in the English language. Yet we know surprisingly little about the man himself.

Shakespeare was born in April in the year 1564. He was born in Stratford, a town in the centre of England. We know, however, that William's father was a respectable businessman in Stratford and that William received a good education although he did not go to a university. He got married at 18 to Anne Hathaway. Their first child, Susanna, was born one year later, in May 1583. His twins were born in February 1585. He wrote his first play in 1589. It was called Henry VI. In 1594, he moved to London. He became an actor, but he continued to work as a playwright. In the course of fifteen years as a man of the theatre, William wrote 35 plays, as well as much marvelous poetry.

People know his characters, including Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth, all around the world. He wrote comedies – funny plays; histories – about the lives of kings and queens; and tragedies – plays with an unhappy ending. He died in 1616.

Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow:

The first 'manned' balloon flight took place in France in 1783 by two Frenchmen. Their first 'flight' wasn't really a flight. The balloon was tied by a rope to the ground and they were suspended beneath it. They managed to make the balloon stay up for almost three hours.

In December 1783, another Frenchman flew a balloon for 25 minutes over Paris. This was seen as the first free balloon flight. It traveled nearly five and a half miles through the French capital.
