I don't think
such as works very well in those sentences.
Sentence one will be perfect with a slight change. Try:
- In Germany, Goethe was a great poet, much as Shakespeare was in England.
For sentence two, try:
- Goethe was a poet, like Shakespeare.
For sentence three, try:
- He wanted to become a poet much like Shakespeare.
What do you think?
