choosing tuesday and because generally weekends are the ones you will be free

and on weekdays you will have your schoolwork and all that stuff happening

sometimes nowadays some of occasions are going on

so my father told that we will do it every

day for benefit oh okay so how many sessions do you take

in a week

it must be seven you're taking seven sessions in a week

okay that's a quite a lot that's quite a lot and uh

tell me how how do you think it this these sessions talking to some people on

clapping go how do you think these sessions are helping you what are you

learning from these sessions i'll learn more from my mistakes and

i'll learn new words as well

very nice absolutely wonderful and

any new experiences that you learn probably have you talked about anything

that has made you very very happy and proud of

yourself something that you spoke about and you felt wow i spoke well

um yes there was a session uh yeah um let me think but i know yes

yes in one of the sessions so this happened and some of the other talk it

happened but i don't know which session not a problem you don't have to tell me

the session number or anything what was the topic that you spoke about which

made you really happy about yourself

i don't remember the topic but yes it was it was a nice conversation after

that my father praised me a lot aha very nice

okay fine let us start our conversation today so

i'm hoping that your father praises you for today's conversation as well

let's begin what do you want to do

ah what do you mean what do i do what do i want to do

what do you mean what do you want to speak about

we'll speak about anything we'll speak about anything okay fine so

in fact you know what our last session we both started a story and we could not

finish a story so do you want to do that or shall i take a topic for you and

we'll speak about that it's your wish

okay today i'm going to speak about some

topic on which i would want your opinion

okay so now see uh havisha you are a very intelligent girl i must admit that

now you go to school and

you always have expressed to me that there are some subjects you don't like

there are some subjects you like you like history

you like those kind of subjects you don't like math that's what you told me

isn't it yeah

okay now you tell me how how should teachers

handle kids of these kind people who don't like maths what according to you

should be done do you think you should learn

only history and the subjects that you like or do you think you should

completely stop learning maths at all because you don't like maths how should

teachers teach you no i should not do like this that i

should stop studying maths i although i don't like maths i have to study math

benefit so it would be better if their teacher

teaches us maths well with a little bit of fun

with a little bit of fun that's a very very interesting point that you raised

what keeps your interest going on in maths how do your parents or how do your

current teachers teach you maths so that you

develop that love for that subject how what are the different ways that you are

taught my father teaches me just to

learn it simply but yes my teacher teaches me like this that it is

my teacher this time in sixth standard my teacher is very

nice she makes jokes in the class so i like her class but not the subject so i

think slowly i like the subject okay fine but

uh do you like homeworks or you do you hate homeworks

i'm fine with homework you're fine with homeworks and do you think kids as young

as you should you be given homeworks because

you know there are many countries outside india

where they have a very unique method of teaching kids they don't give homeworks

okay most of the teaching is activity based

most of the times they play and learn different subjects so do you think

that's a nice method of learning or do you think homeworks are needed for kids

like you it depends if that if the child learns

by playing also and learns it a lot nicely

then without but with homework that the child doesn't want to do it and doesn't

want to learn it at all but with activities it has interest and it learns

it then activities will be better but if the child needs home needs homework it

doesn't need any activity it needs homework it has to simply learn then

homework will be better okay but what is your personal choice

what kind of a person are you the homework person non-homework person

when i was young i would be the non-homework person

but nowadays i feel a bit of homework person

you feel a bit of homework person okay why this transition from non-homework

person to homework person do you feel homeworks are better i hated homeworks

when i was a kid i never wanted to do homeworks what about you

i feel that homeworks are needed but i would not like 10 10 pages of

homeworks i would like one or two one or two just a little bit of that

okay and do you think uh these homeworks generally what do you

get from your schools are the ones are these homeworks the one that you do on

your own or do you generally take help from your parents or you refer google or

you refer different study materials than publish this one

when i don't know the answer i have to i have to refer google and when i am

confused about something i ask my mother and you get the help what about

referring online materials and sometimes your mother might say hey

havisha i am too busy dear find out yourself what do you do

find out yourself she never said that find out yourself i don't take help for

this and that like in which i can use google so i'll use then i'll use google

but if i need help from canada or this can i do like that she helps me anyway

she never said wow that is very wonderful that's very nice that's very

nice of your mother as well and you as well persistent you know at the back of

your mother help me now what are the things now your sister is

next to you after you it's your sister and then your brother the youngest is

your brother isn't it yeah

yeah now have you helped any time your sister in her studies and homeworks

in her studies sometimes my i think some of the sums of some things

she my mother she asks my mother and my mother says to talk to me and then i saw

and then sometimes i solve and sometimes um and sometimes she must be going back

to her mother but as there hasn't there been any

incident or any time where you're taught

something to your sister with her studies

yes once i had a good mood so

much my sister was a bit younger so she so she would have problem in reading the

these and the th e words

so i just took the board and started

teaching her but then once she cried without with some reason she cried then

i stopped teaching her why you're a very strict teacher i think

you're a very very strict teacher yeah i don't like

uh who are crying and so i will not never do that i decided i will never

teach hugging oh my god that's very bad that's very

bad you must teach her you must teach her you're the you can be the best

teacher to your sister because you know her personally as well

but right right now in these summer vacations you told me that you play a

lot of games with your sister and how is your relationship when you people both

play games you fight sometimes with each other as well or you play without

fighting with each other no it can be it cannot be possible that

we don't fight with each other in some other game

i think that every game we play some or the other cat fighter occurs

okay okay but generally most of the time who gives

in who accepts okay fine i will listen to you let's continue to play because uh

you are the younger she's the you're the elder she's the younger

oh who finally concedes who finally accepts that okay i'll listen to you

obviously the older has to get the scoldings and listen to the to the young

sometimes the older also agrees okay

but in all these things your youngest

brother he's a he's still a toddler isn't it what's his age

he's four years old oh four years is good enough to play

with you people isn't it four years he can walk he can

talk as well i believe your brother can talk isn't it

yeah ah that's what i'm wondering now

i am just curious to know whenever you three are together

and there is play time lot of play time how do you communicate what are the

problems that arises when we are together who fights a lot and who

who kind of separates now imagine your younger sister and your brother got into

an argument i want this chocolate i want that chocolate i want this toy i want

that toy how would you

how would you just separate them how would you console them not to fight how

does it happen first my

my brothers and my brother and sister would uh eat would uh annoy my mother

then my mother would tell me to settle it down and i would think that i am

lucky i have to i have no i don't have to work and make them settle down then i

would make something that had i don't do that because my sister is

older than my brother so i would always it would happen that i support my

brother okay fine

yeah yeah continue continue you're wanting to tell something

yeah so this all this is all what happens and sometimes it can also happen

that my sister also doesn't listen to me then i have to

use my brain and consult them that i'll do this for you i'll do that for you and

sometimes i have to use a little bit more bit of brain

and what is that do you remember some incident recently that had happened when

you had to really use your brain to settle a fight between your brother and

your sister i don't think recently it happened but

yes today with my brother and me a fight occurred oh my god your brother and you

a four-year-old brother and you fine what was the fight for

the fight was for for he was we were playing a game in

which we had i think i have it right now i had these types of

small things it was i corrected it in my pocket

so it is here so i these types of small small things were there which we

collected in a blue thing so we would throw it in each other and we have to

play it was just like a and we had a chariot and we would be like a warrior

type game okay

uh so one though it was like that that harika and my sister did not have

anything to throw and we would think those small pieces of thing as arrows

yeah so yeah he didn't have anything so i gifted her some then my brother

started giving it to me also it was not the rule that i should give forcefully

so i don't know give me give me give me give me then who

has to give i have to give my sister give she don't know i want yours only

then i gave mine then at last the fight was

okay when the fight is between your sister and brother you sometimes settle

the fight between them but when now here it's a strange situation that your

younger brother and you fought finally who settled who settled the matter

between you and your brother i had to accept his choices

ah absolutely you know isn't it strange avika you always have

to listen to younger brothers demands don't you feel bad about that sometimes

i don't like it at all oh my god but then you know what you you

should always listen to young girls no they they are you are more intelligent

than your brother and sometimes you have to listen to him isn't it yeah and

sometimes my brother and my mother also get into this but my mother always obeys

him

what are your responsibilities being the eldest

oh the most first responsibility i think is that if the older brother gets if the

younger brother suppose if i had to take care of the

younger brother suppose my brother we were playing and we had to take care of

him so if something happened or a little bit he got scratched he was running i

told no question no no don't run there but he ran and he got a hurt then my

mother would not scold him he would she would not scold him she had to scold me

because she would tell the wider

and to stop and this and that so if the younger person did the mistake then the

older person has to get the has to face the music

yeah you know what that's that's that's the added responsibility of being the

elder but do you enjoy taking responsibilities of taking care of your

younger sister and brother do you enjoy that additional responsibility

i don't like that at all but i have to do

yes you have to do but sometimes have you been told wow good job harisha

you took care of them well have you been praised for your work at

taking care of your sister and your brother

yes sometimes that's really great that's really great

so finally uh your brother has also kind of had some

issues with you and generally this uh the beach thing what you told this

happened today or recently when did this happen

today oh this is something that happened today okay but

you know all the three of you are at house at home not going to schools so

how often do you people play with each other is it the whole day you people

play in engage in some kind of activities with each other or do you

have your own times of sleeping in the afternoon and studying for some time how

does the gay the day go around with all the three people involved it is not

sequence it happens simply and randomly sometimes i play the whole day

i don't touch a book and sometimes i touch a book i study but i don't play

much but um sometimes i actually gets

i study as well as i play you study as well as people but i think

as much as i know habisha hamisha likes to play more study less am i right

yes okay that's nice that's nice i would

encourage you to play play well and play along with your brother and sister okay

great i think we just have one minute but i would want to tell you something

avisha uh your english is there is no nothing i

have to comment because at your age your english is very good so

i will not tell you any mistakes that you have made

okay so this is not the age that i correct your

english because you speak very well for your age but

as far as your other activities of improving english is concerned i am so

happy when i see your youtube channel that you i have this wonderful happy of

the hobby of reading books and of course the conversations that you
