On This Day in History

William Shakespeare lived from 1564 until he was 52 years old in 1616. He went to school in Stratford-upon-Avon. In 1590 he went to live in London and worked as an actor in a theatre. When he was in London, he started to write plays for the theatre. There are 37 plays and many students around the world know some of them, for example Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth.

On the same day in 1972, thousands of miles away, John Young and Charles Duke walked on the moon. At the time, they were two of only 12 men to do this. The first was Neil Armstrong on 21st July 1969. John Young and Charles Duke were two of the astronauts on Apollo 16.

Twenty years after this walk on the moon, on 23rd April, the American fast-food company McDonald's opened its first restaurant in Beijing, China. On that first day, 40,000 people visited this new McDonald's and had something to eat! Today there are more than 2,500 McDonald's restaurants in China.
