Have you seen this meme (表情包) online before? The man in the meme is Michael Rosen, a famous British children’s book writer who has written about 140 books. He’s known as “nice granddad” in China.

（2022·云南昆明·二模）Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford of England. He was one of eight brothers and sisters. His father, John Shakespeare, was a successful businessman. William went to school in Stratford, but he didn’t go to university. At the age of fifteen he went straight to work in his father’s business.
When he was eighteen, he met and fell in love with Anne Hathaway. She was eight years older than him. They got married in November 1582, and six months later their daughter Susanna was born. In 1585 they had twins, Hamnet and Judith. We don’t know much about the following seven years of his life.
