I have liked very much your places!

Next week´s homework (May 4th).
Choose a Shakespeare quote and develop it. Minimum 100 words. You can add images.

 Sample essay on a Shakespeare´s quote


In today’s time, mostly some kind of particular things appear so shiny and glorious whereas from inside they are just a huge empty piece. We can take this example in matter of people too. We cannot imagine the inner truth behind the glossy outlook of anything or person from very far. As a consequence it is an old saying that all that glitters is not gold. It is not any individual’s fault to show him under the various shiny things, as it is needed for many people to survive in this world by representing themselves as glossy and glittered all the time in front of others. Sometimes, appearance is not related with reality, think about the entertainment industry...
