My crazy cousin frm india is tryin to read shake speare in nith grade.?

I don’t get her. She thinks harry potter is hard so she starts readin Macbeth. She is wierd. Her teacher told her to try to challenge herself. She misunderstood and is tryin to read shakespeare. She thinks readin off her level will make hera betta reada. Her english is ok, not the greatest. She thought Macbeth was easy. She did rread it 3 times ova though, but only got the basic story. I am tryin to tell her that shakespeare is not for her, unless there is a teacha there explainin it to her. Its a basic waste of her time. She is very stubborn though. Even though she is from india and she went to the 2nd best school in the entire state there she doesn’t seem all dat bright. Her math skills are starange. She knows trigno,etry, but not algebra one. My other cousin from india knew algebra one from 6th grade! This school she went required a good score. She is very stubborn and loves to argue. She thinks damn harry potter is tough and shakespeare is easy. She didn’t even know Macbeth w play.

I have studied in India for ten years and i know about how they train kids in most of the schools. They give a huge preference to English and most schools teach algebra from sixth grade. When i came to US i never had a problem with English because of the good educational foundation I got in India.

In ur cousins case, it seens like she is one of those students who might have studied in a good school but might not have put much effort into studying math ..thats probably why she has touble with math. Not everyone can get the ability to understand math easily..it may require some time. And as for reading Shakesphere in ninth grade, i dont think there is anything wrong with reading it. She might not understand it completely, but understanding the basics of the story is good enough at her age and she should be encouraged to read more. And dont discourage her inclination to read more…just because she didnt understand Harry Potter books. Even though HP books are written in quite simple language, Rowling uses a lot of her own vocabulary and also if she was starting to read the story frm the first edition…it takes a while to get a grasp of the story for a some people. Its mostly becasues the first few chapters of the books…were a little too descriptive….i am a big fan of HP and i love rowlings way of writing..but i know some people needs a while to get a grasp of it. In my opinion you should make her watch one of those HP movies first and then let her read the book..it will help out a lot!!

I could inform your aunt. Don’t think unhealthy approximately studying her emails, she’s handiest thirteen, children demands to be taken care of and monitored seeing that they’re going to get themselves into drawback. I could additionally file the 18 12 months historic seeing that he’s an grownup and is aware of bigger than to get in a dating with a thirteen 12 months historic if thats what he is after. However I feel he is not after a dating, he is a only a unwell pedophile that demands to be pronounced to the correct gurus. Your cousin will probably be in a few severe drawback if you do not do whatever approximately it.

It sounds like you should stop worrying about your cousin’s English skills and start focusing on your own (or lack of).

p.s. Shakespeare is condsidered highschool level reading. I read Romeo and Juliet in 9th grade and Macbeth Junior year.

Maybe YOU should start reading Shakespeare. And Shakespeare is high school material, I read Romeo & Juliet and Julius Caesar in ninth grade.

Stop discouraging your cousin from reading. Any type of reading will improve your reading level, regardless of whether you think it is good for her or not.

And you should improve your own English skills, by learning how to write and type correctly.

I read Shakespeare in 5th grade. Stop discouraging her. If she sets her mind to it I’m sure she can do anything she wants.
