Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

When reading short stories, a useful strategy is to make mental notes of the story's structure. Notice how the story begins, develops, and ends. This can help you analyze how the author builds the narrative. Additionally, engage with the language used. If there are descriptive passages, think about how they contribute to the mood. For example, if the description is dark and gloomy, it might foreshadow something bad in the story. Reading short stories multiple times can also be beneficial as you may pick up on new details each time.

A good way is to divide the class into small groups for reading and then have each group present their understanding of the story. Also, teachers can provide some guiding questions before reading to focus students' attention.

One strategy could be group discussions. Divide the class into groups and have them discuss the plot, characters, and themes of the short story. This promotes collaborative learning and different perspectives. Another is a read - aloud session, where the teacher or a student reads the story aloud while others follow along. It helps with pronunciation and comprehension. Also, creating a story map together as a class can be useful. This involves mapping out the beginning, middle, and end of the story, as well as the main events and characters.

Well, for grade 6 reading stories, it's important to read actively. Highlight or underline important parts like new vocabulary words or key events. You could also keep a notebook and write down your thoughts and questions as you read. When you come across a difficult word, try to figure it out from the context. If that doesn't work, look it up in a dictionary. And don't read too fast. Take your time to understand the plot and the characters.
