1. a) Think of three questions you would like to ask about Chekhov. Then, read the biography and see if you can answer them.  

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904)    

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born in Taganrog in Russia. When he was nineteen, he went to medical school in Moscow and later became a doctor. It was while working as a doctor that he began to publish his stories in order to help support his family. By 1886, he had become famous as a writer of plays and short stories. His works include the play The Seagull (1896) and his famous short story The Steppe (1888). Chekhov was a very fast writer who could produce a story in under an hour! A typical Chekhov story is about the thoughts and emotions of the characters. In The Darling (1899), Chekhov describes a woman, Olenka, who uses other people to give her own life meaning.
