Famous people in English speaking countries.

English speaking countries have given lots of great people to the world civilization. Scientists and entertainers, writers and actors, sportsmen and politicians… It’s very difficult to choose a few. However, I am going to tell you about the ones, who are most famous as far as my opinion goes.

No doubt, one of the best writers ever in human history without any question came from an English speaking country. His name is William Shakespeare. He became a symbol of the English literature. He was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon in England. In the very early childhood he watched with admiration how visiting groups of actors created whole worlds on stage. He decided to become an actor himself. Although he did become an actor when he came to London at 21, but the real fame came to him when he started to write plays and pieces of poetry. His 154 sonnets have reached our times through all this time without losing their freshness and artistic value. His plays are full of life itself, be it “Hamlet”, or “Othello” “Romeo and Juliet” or any other. His works have been translated into many languages. People all over the world enjoy Shakespeare’s works. As for me, I like his sonnets and try to read them in the original, though sometimes they are difficult to understand after the first reading and takes a second and even a third reading to enjoy a sonnet completely.

Australia has given many famous entertainers. The most well-known Australian actors are Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman. I would like to tell something about Nicole Kidman because she is my favourite actress. From her childhood Nicole was interested in entertainment. She began ballet lessons when she was three years old, mime class when she was eight, and acting classes when she was ten. Already at 14 she had her first great success with a role in an Australian TV film. When Kidman was 17, the whole Australia voted for her as the best actress of the year. Such talent immediately in great demand in Hollywood, were she debuted in 1990 with Tom Cruise. Since then, she has always been a movie star of world class. One of the best movies of hers is, of course, the musical “Muolin Rouge.”

When we are discussing famous people in English speaking countries, one of the top positions must be given to the most famous ever rock group “The Beatles.” The Beatles shaped not only music and the way it is now, but also entire generations. They became a model for how to behave, to dress, to think, even how to live. The members of the group, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Star met when they were still very young, no more than 17 years old. The first success came to the band when they started to work with a manager Brian Epstein. They recorded their first single in 1962. These were the songs still popular today: “Love me do” and “Please Please Me.” From that time onwards, Beatlemania took over the whole world, which continued right till 1970, when the group members decided to break up. Unfortunately, Lennon’s life tragically ended in December, 1980, when a fan murdered him; and George Harrison died in 2001 after he suffered from throat cancer. Anyway, “The Beatles” have remained popular with people of any age no matter where they and whether they speak English or not.

Everybody knows Yury Gagarin, the first man who flew into space. The next step of space exploration would be to land on the Moon. An American astronaut, Neil Armstrong, was the commander of Apollo 11 spacecraft, which flew to the Moon. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface for the first time in human history. On the moment when Armstrong left the spacecraft after the landing, he said the phrase, which became one of the most famous worldwide. He said: “That’s one small step for a man, but one giant leap for mankind.”

British Princess Diana without any question is a person to be remembered. She was born on July 1 1961. Her full name was Lady Diana Frances Spencer, and she was a daughter of the Earl of Spencer. But Diana was famous not as a member of the Royal family. Rather, she is remembered as an energetic charity activist. She was in touch with over 100 British and international organizations giving support to different groups of people. Most of her efforts were spent on fighting the landmines all over the world, and especially in Africa were huge expanses were killing thousands of innocent children every year. Thanks to her, lots of people were saved and relieved in time of trouble. Diana died dramatically in a car accident in France but is still in our hearts.
