What do you know about William Shakespeare？Have you ever read any of his works？Do you think teenagers should spend time trying to understand Shakespeare's works？Why or why not？

Yes ! - Linda

Shakespeare is regarded as one of the best writers in history.He produced many great works.While we enjoy these stories，we can learn many things.    First，Shakespeare teaches us history.Of course，this was not the writer's intention.However，Shakespeare liked to talk about his own society in his plays.Through the reading of his works，we can find out what was going on when he was alive.    _____.According to the Oxford English Dictionary，words like "rival" and "hostile" all first appeared in Shakespeare's plays.We can get a better understanding of the English language through these works.    Moreover，few writers in history have been able to describe the human condition as well as Shakespeare had.By exploring different human conditions，we can learn how to relate to one another better.    In conclusion，I think schools should teach Shakespeare.

No ! - Louis

I don't think schools should teach Shakespeare.The biggest reason is that it is not useful.Let's be honest：When do you need to use Shakespeare outside of school？    Many of my classmates consider studying Shakespeare to be a waste of time.If we didn't study Shakespeare，we could spend more time learning things that are more useful.    In addition，Shakespeare is too boring.The stories don't deal with modern problems.The language is old.It is difficult for students to understand it.Some young people will lose interest in literature all together if they are required to study Shakespeare.
