Ⅰ.阅读理解
I started reading Shakespeare when I was nine, after my grandfather, an actor, sent me a copy of Romeo and Juliet.The story and the language attracted me.I found out about Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand (SGCNZ) and started volunteering for it when I was about 10.When I was 13, I managed to run a film project with SGCNZ.
I'm home-educated and a part-time correspondence student (函授生) as well.We have a drama group made up of quite a few people who are also home-educated.I've also joined Wellington Young Actors, a youth theatre company.There are many similarities and differences between being home-educated and attending a_five-day_program.I love hearing other students' reactions when meeting them and share my different ways of experiencing the world with them.While explaining the way I learn can be a challenge, I love helping people to understand there isn't just one way of learning.
Being home-educated has offered me the freedom to have an individualized education and to pursue my passions.My education has always been about making those focuses but I do lots of the same things as people who attend five-day programs do.Shakespeare is a great approach to lots of things around English, history and the arts.I think something you learn when you perform is connection.You have to have a connection with your fellow actors, with the audience and with Shakespeare.I learn this from actually being on stage and from taking part in different Shakespeare festival programs.
I believe it's the emotion in Shakespeare that makes it relevant today.You can be reading something that was written 400 years ago and be able to see parts of your life in the work as it shows you how to understand the world and explore a lot of different ideas.
