Famous people of Great Britain and America (topic)
There are many countries in the world and many great men here. And I want to talk about few of them. First I would like to talk about famous American man.
I think, that word Washington knows everybody. Almost all people knows, that Washington is a city – capital of United States of America. In fact Washington is a name of one great man, who founded this city 200 years ago. George Washington was born in 1732. Her parents was a farmers. When Washington was young he worked as landmark, after he was a soldier. Washington had part in The independence war of America. And he was a man, who developed first constitution in the world – constitution of USA. In 1787 George Washington was elected as a first president of USA. So Washington was one of USA creators, who build the base of United States of America..
And now I want to talk about two famous men of Great Britain.
First about Isaac Newton, great scientist, who was discovered a lot of things, which we are still using now. Isaac Newton was born in 1643 near Lincolnshire. He was learning in Cambridge university. This university now is one of greatest in the world. Isaac Newton was a great scientist in mathematics, physics, geometry, optics, mechanics. He invented such things as telescope and law of gravity and a lot of inventions in mathematics and geometry.
The second great man from Great Britain I think was William Shakespeare. He is famous play writer in the world. But yet we know very little about his life. So, he was born at Stradford-upon-Avon, a small town in the middle of England in 1564 and he died at the very same date 52 years later. He learned in local grammar school Latin, Greek. He got married 18 years old and after some years he had 3 children. Later he left his village and went to London. By the end of 1580′s he was known as an actor and playwright. Many his plays were performed in a London theatre called “The Globe.” “The Globe” was a round wooden building and Londoners liked the theatre very much, so it was always full of people. In a short time Shakespeare’s plays became extremely popular. After few years he returned to Stradford and bought the finest house in the town. He died at he age of 52. In the beautiful church at Stradford, beside the winding Avon river he was buried.
