Think about how close you are with the receiver of the gift. Keep in mind the occasion for the gift. Get bigger gifts for big number birthdays (21, 30 or 50). Give appropriate gifts for themed parties. Find a perfect gift cover.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Take stock of how many years you’ve known them, how big a part of your life they are, and how important they are to your future.  Best friends are deserving of very meaningful, personal gifts that reflect your years of friendship. Don’t give people you have just met or don’t know too well overly personal or expensive gifts. Expensive gifts may give them the idea that you’re just trying to impress them, while overly personal gifts might come off as too forward. Christmas and birthdays are big, important holidays for which larger gift giving is acceptable. However, there are many holidays like Easter, Wedding Anniversaries, and Valentine’s Day that require different levels and types of gift giving. For example, people tend to focus more on Christmas than St. Patrick's day. As such, you might want to give them the bigger gift on Christmas. Let your friend know how much you truly care with an extra thoughtful gift, or by throwing them a surprise party. Be sensitive to your friend's needs and situation, however. For example, if no one is around to celebrate your friend's birthday and they are not celebrating a big number, you could still get them a nice gift. Make sure that your gifts fit tradition when attending a bridal or baby shower. A mom-to-be probably won’t appreciate a cast iron skillet any more than a bride-to-be might appreciate a box of diapers! Gift covers are very effective. You can use a gift cover of hearts if you are gifting him/her for their marriage. You can use gift cover of a baby if you are gifting on her becoming mother. If it is her/him on there birthday you can use a gift wrap of balloons design or bell designed gift wrap. Or if it is your personal occasion you can also create a gift wrap with yours and his/her's images. Just you and him/her.


Think about how serious the problem is. Avoid making excuses. Assess the situation. Try not to feel guilty. Think about what you want to do.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Before you sit down to talk with your friend or worry further about the situation, it can be a good idea to take a step back and evaluate the relationship.  Does your friend only occasionally act clingy or is she constantly trying to claim your full attention?  Figuring out how serious and recurring her need for your attention is can help you decide what the next step should be.  Maybe your friend was recently stressed out and needs some extra attention.  If this is the case, the problem should resolve itself. You may need to try and set boundaries if your friend is constantly demanding your attention. Using excuses may work, in the short-term.  However, it can get tiring and it sets up a false kind of boundary.  Whenever possible, try to not use one-time excuses to avoid hanging out with your friend.  If you don't want to visit with her, you may have to be more direct.  Being direct can help her understand your needs and boundaries more clearly as opposed to making excuses.  Don't say something like “I've got a doctors appointment” to buy yourself some free time. You will likely grow tired of coming up with excuses.  Being direct can be more effective. If your friend is truly being over-bearing and clingy, there is nothing wrong with focusing on your needs.  A good friendship should go both ways, being a kind of give-and-take that works to build a stronger bond.  If your friend is taking more than she gives back, it's perfectly fine to let them know how you feel and what you need.  Don't be afraid to tell your friend that you feel like she is asking too much of you. A good friend will listen to you and give you the time and space that you need. Your own well-being is important.  Don't neglect your own needs for those of your friend. Thinking about your own needs over those of your friend may make you feel guilty or selfish.  However, it's perfectly fine to consider thinking about the nature of your friendship and any problems it may have.  Realizing that it's okay to think about what you need in a friendship...


Think about how this person makes you feel. Consider the habits of new friends. Determine if the other person is committed to the friendship.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you are hoping to build close friendships, don’t worry yourself with external characteristics, such as how the person looks or how much money he has. Instead, dig deeper and pay attention to internal signs of a healthy connection. Ask yourself the following about a potential friend:  Do I feel safe around this person? Can I be myself around him or her, or do I have to tiptoe around eggshells when we’re together? Does this person treat me with respect? Is he or she supportive of my ideas and goals? Can I trust this person? Is this person overly critical of me? Does this person take my kindness for granted? Good friends may discourage your participation in unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as excessive drinking. However, the reverse is also true. Friends can impact our choices and even unconsciously sway us to pick up unhealthy habits.  In University of Liverpool study, when one friend ordered an alcoholic beverage, 80% of the time, the other friend followed suit. Friends even matched how heavy the other friend drank, without even knowing.  If a potential friend has unhealthy habits or negatively influences your life, you may need to assess the value of that friendship. While drinking may not be a make or break for a new friendship, drug addiction or criminal activity might be red flags for you to stay away from a fledgling relationship. Deepening and maintaining a relationship requires continuous nurturing and attention.Therefore, a successful friendship must exhibit both giving and receiving of time, attention, and effort.  The give and take in a friendship may not always be equal. For example, your friend might be really stressed over her parents’ divorce and require more support for a time. However, if the friendship is always one-sided, and you are constantly giving of yourself or acting against your own needs or values, this may not be a friendship you choose to continue.


Think about how you feel around this person. Evaluate your sense of self worth. Consider your emotions after interacting with the friend. Evaluate whether you feel supported.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If a friendship needs to end, you may notice you experience negative feelings when around your friend. Think about how you feel when you hang out with this friend. If the feelings you're experiencing are not positive, it may be time to ditch this friend.  Do you feel like you can be yourself? If a friendship is becoming toxic, you may feel you have to censor yourself or your ideas. You may always feel like you're on guard or walking on eggshells around this person. You may feel completely different around this person than you do around others. You may dislike the way you act and behave when that person is present. A bad friendship can affect your feelings about yourself. Pause and evaluate your own self esteem. If someone is wearing on you, you may feel bad about yourself.  Does your friend make you feel like you can't do anything right?  Your friend may, for example, always point out your flaws or demand you do things differently. You may feel like your behavior is under constant scrutiny around this person. After hanging out with this person, you may go home feeling bad about yourself. A negative friendship can adversely affect your sense of self worth. When expectations of your behavior are unreasonably high, you may begin to experience negative thoughts about yourself habitually. A bad friendship can affect your mood and even your physical health. After interacting with this person, take stock of how you're feeling.  After seeing this person, you may experience negative emotions. You may feel depressed, anxious, or stressed after seeing the friend. Negative emotions can manifest themselves in physical symptoms. You may feel physically tired or even notice aches and pains like a headache after being in this person's presence. You may not feel you have a lot of emotional support if you're in a negative friendship. Think about how you feel when you have a bad day. Do you feel inclined to reach out to this person, or do you feel like you're better off not bothering?  In a negative friendship, everything may...


Think about how you may have contributed to the impatience. Consider your own undesirable traits. Strive for empathy. Refrain from letting impatience affect you.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Sometimes, people demonstrate their worst traits around us because we unwittingly provoke them. Are you always turning in assignments late or asking for additional time? Your own “I’ve got all the time in the world”, laid-back attitude could be contributing to this person’s edginess. Do you need to change?  While your laid-back approach to life may be a part of your charm, it can be frustrating for co-workers or friends who are depending on you. It might be time to think about how you can work on being more mindful of their needs as well. This can be as simple as opening up better lines of communication so they know you are open to change. We all have tendencies that may seem annoying to others. Just as you hope those around you accept you for you, the same is true for accepting the best and worst of those around you.  You may have to get used to people getting impatient if communication isn’t your strong point. A big part of becoming impatient is often the unknown, so if you find those around you becoming a little short it might be useful to figure out why this is happening to you specifically.  If you find in the work place or at home there are certain people who are almost always impatient with you, try asking them for feedback about what makes this happen. If they see you as being disorganized for example, ask them for feedback to take small steps to change that. This can go a long way to not only change your behavior but also tells them you are open to doing better. Empathy really means stepping into the other person’s shoes to see how they might view the situation. Instead of having an emotional response about their impatience, stop to think about where it could be coming from and consider the other person’s role in the task or situation. A big part of empathy can be tied to clearly understanding how your part of the assignment or task at hand affects others. For example, if your coworkers have to wait for your part of a report to start theirs, it might make sense that they are impatient if they do not...


Think about how you would feel if you were single. Consider your maturity. Be happy with yourself.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Does the thought of being along give you anxiety? If so, then you are more likely to feel that any relationship is ideal, rather than the right relationship. You should not be willing to lower your standards to make a relationship feel right. It can be hard to be honest with yourself about something like this, but if you are searching for the right person, it doesn’t make sense to waste time with just any person. Are you really mature enough for a long-term relationship? In a long-term relationship, you have to consider the needs and wants of someone besides yourself. If you want to be successful in that relationship, you will also sometimes have to admit that you are wrong. This can be very difficult if you are still working on your maturity. Have you managed to become proud of who you are, flaws and all? Many people enter into relationships hoping that the other person will “fix” them, and make them happy. Unfortunately, this is not the case, at least not in the long-term. It is not an easy task, but it is important that you learn to make yourself happy without anyone else’s help. Understand that learning how to be happy is a difficult task for nearly everyone, and it won’t happen overnight.


Think about open land available in your region. Consider the local competition. Think about the accessibility of a potential gas station to local roads and interstates. Research current and future construction projects in the area. Consider local and state regulations about the building and location of gas stations.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Can you think of an area in need of a gas station?  Market analysis has shown that one of the top things a consumer thinks about in choosing a gas station is location. Customers will want a location that is along a major route to work and convenient in terms of traffic patterns. Think about the set up of your station as well. Customers will want to go to a station that is easy to enter and exit from nearby roadways. You will want to avoid an area that is already saturated with gas stations.   Look into areas where there is a lot of growth, such as around major cities. As new neighborhoods and business districts crop up, there will be a demand for new gas stations. Research the locations of big-box retailers such as Sam's Club which offer steep gas discounts. You will want to place your gas station a distance away from these places to avoid the competition. Consider hiring a modeler to work with you. Many companies exist for site modeling. These professionals will help you build a digital model of your gas station at the site you are planning. This can help you decide whether or not your design is feasible at the location and if there is too much competition nearby. Your presence along a key interstate or street will draw in customers.   If your site is close to an interstate or major highway exit, consider investing in advertising signage along that route to increase your business. Take into consideration the flow of traffic during different times of the day. You will want your gas station to be on the same side of the road as heavy traffic during peak times. You will want to avoid opening a new business along a route affected by long-term construction.  Customers will try to avoid highways and roads with heavy construction. If there is a plan for long-term construction at or near your location, consider purchasing a different lot. Even short-term construction projects can impede your business. Remember, your goal is to get lots of customer traffic near your gas station. There may be local restrictions or...


Think about page layout. Use a grid to moderate pace. Create a point of focus.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The size and shape of your panels will help to depict the flow of your comic. For action, you need a panel that is large enough to fit the movement. You also want to create a flow that makes it easy for the reader to move from one panel to the next.  Only include a few panels horizontally. You should never use more than four in a row. Stagger your grid gutters. The gutter is the blank space between each panel. Staggering the gutters helps to differentiate each panel. The most common grid layouts include pages of six or nine grid panels. A nine grid panel is effective when you need to convey a lot of information. A skewed grid can also be used to create a sense of motion and dynamic action. You can also use a widescreen panel to create a moving, cinematic feel.  A six or nine panel grid is good for showing continuous action like someone walking or to simulate the pan of a camera. Skewed grids can be used together to show a lot of action happening at once on a page. Instead of drawing squares or rectangles, draw parallelograms to create motion. Before you draw the characters and action in your panels, determine where the main focal point in each panel is. A focal point directs the reader's eyes to a specific spot in the panel and helps avoid confusion as the eyes move from panel to panel. Like a movie, think about the rule of thirds, cutting each panel into three equal parts, and placing your focal point in one.  Plan your focal points out so that the reader's eyes follow each one down the page in more or less a zigzag formation. For horizontal panels, place your focal point in the left, right, or center portion. For vertical panels, place your focal point in the top, bottom, or middle third. With a square panel, you can put your focal point anywhere, so the key here is to place it somewhere that guide your reader's eyes to the next panel.


Think about personality and role in the story. Consider the character's struggles. Ask how your character deals with their pain. Build a detailed backstory. Give your character clear strengths. Avoid stereotypes. Give the character a secret.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

What does your character do for the story? What type of personality will they have? Start sketching out their rough personality and general role. A clear personality (as opposed to "does whatever") gives your character a stronger presence in the story.  A list of adjectives (e.g. caring, perceptive, perfectionistic, anxious) is a good start, but it isn't nearly enough for a complex character. A strong character has a detailed history and present. One thing that interests readers is how a character deals with pain. What causes your character emotional pain? Do they suffer from an abusive family, bullying, regret over bad decisions, perfectionism, a mental illness, et cetera? What is your character afraid of? What upsets them?   Some beginners overload on tragedy, thinking "more pathos means more interesting." However, too much can cause readers to lose interest. Focus on one or two things that hurt your character. One or two intense struggles are more compelling than 5 different problems. Try researching the problem(s) your character faces. For example, if your character is self-conscious about being deaf, read from Deaf people, their internal struggles, and how they learned to accept themselves. Do they hide their vulnerability, or share it? How do they cope on bad days? Consider which strategies (healthy or unhealthy) your character has developed to deal with hardship.   Who do they open up to? If it's hard to open up, why? What makes it scary to them? On a bad day, how does your character handle things? Be socially conscious when discussing harmful coping mechanisms. For example, your character might do harmful things, like excessive drinking or acting possessive/controlling to their partner. To avoid glorifying bad behavior, show the negative consequences of these. Your character should be held accountable for their actions. Consider the family and living situation your character had growing up, what problems they faced in childhood, and how this shaped who they are today. While the reader may not need to...


Think about positive events when it’s time to go to bed. Focus on your breathing when you’re lying in bed. Talk to the other kids if they are also awake. Read until you fall asleep. Ask if you can turn on the TV if you still can't fall asleep. Listen to calming music if you have a phone or music player. Think about what you're going to do the next day. Call your parents if you can’t get over your homesickness. Ask your parents to pick you up if you really can’t stay at the sleepover.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

When you’re about to sleep, you might get homesick and miss your bed. Avoid thoughts about home by focusing on how fun it was to spend the entire night with your friends.  Think about the new people you’ve met tonight, the different foods or snacks you ate, the games you played, or the movie you watched with your friends. Re-imagine and appreciate the enjoyable moments of your night, such as that joke you and your friends laughed at together, or the delicious chocolate cake you had a slice of. It’s often hard to avoid negative thoughts, especially those about homesickness, before sleeping. If thinking about the positive aspects of your day proves useless, close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. Bring your focus back to it every time you get distracted by thoughts of home or anything else.  Count your breaths up to 20, and start over. Try to relax your body parts, focusing on your hands, legs, head, or chest—one at a time. You can also think of an image, such as a huge ball of light in your favorite color, or a treasure box where you can lock up all of your worries. Keep thinking of that image until you feel more relaxed and sleepy. There is nothing embarrassing about being homesick; most kids go through the same thing at first! If you cannot fall asleep and feel homesick, talk to one or more of the other kids about how you’re feeling, and ask if they’ve ever experienced this before.  They may be able to comfort you or understand your situation. They may even feel the same way at other sleepovers. Sharing your feelings with them will bring you all closer and strengthen your friendship. Try reading your book until you get sleepy. Reading can help you relax, as well as distract you from thinking about your homesickness. Instead of thinking about home, concentrate on the adventures the characters are going through, and make use of this time to make progress in your book! If there is a TV in the room that you’re sleeping in, ask the other kids in the room if you can turn it on. If they are comfortable...


Think about something the person did that made you laugh. Focus on positive thoughts or events in your life. Shift your gaze to another focal point. Distract your mind with other thoughts.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Instead of feeling sad that the person is gone, try to remember a time when they made you laugh or smile. This could be something they said or did, or a special thing you both experienced. Thinking about something funny will help contain your tears and make you feel more positive. For example, maybe the person gave you a funny birthday present or you both attended a hilarious play. Focus on these fun memories to help lift your spirits. Think of the first positive or funny thing that comes to mind, whether it's a funny joke you heard recently, good news you received at work, or an event you're looking forward to. Focus on this positive thought for a minute or two, letting it distract you from your sadness so that you won't cry. For example, maybe you helped a friend out recently and they were very appreciative, or you heard an uplifting song on the radio earlier in the day. It's helpful to find something in the room to focus on to help relieve your tears. A stable, ordinary object works well, or you can focus on a section of the wall. When focusing on the thing, try to empty your mind and let any talking or noise fade.  If you find yourself starting to cry during the eulogy, try to focus on a corner of the podium or the back of a stranger's head to help you calm down. If necessary, you can also focus on an item super close to you, such as your handbag, fingernail, or jacket sleeve. Try to keep your mind from focusing on the events of the funeral by distracting yourself with other thoughts or tasks. You can do things like sing song lyrics in your head or make a mental grocery list to prevent yourself from crying. You can also recite poetry in your head or list the things you need to do in the upcoming week.


Think about the chemistry you share. Determine how well you understand each other. Compare your sexual preferences.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

When you're with your soul mate, you are intensely attracted to each other. Do you look forward to your time together and miss each other when you’re apart? Do you catch him looking at you even when you’re not trying? Do you find yourself staring at him?  And chemistry is not just physical attraction:  It’s the way he moves—the way he carries himself, his mannerisms, the goofy way he dances when he thinks no one’s watching. It’s the way he interacts with other people—the way he jokes with his friends, the way he plays with your dog, the way he takes his niece out for ice cream. It’s the sound of his voice—the way he laughs and the little catch-phrases he uses all the time. When you're with your soul mate, you just click. You don’t have to tell him that you’re tired and want to stay in for the night—he can see it on your face. And you can tell when he’s tired too. How in tune are you with with each other’s body language and moods?  This natural harmony makes being together feel “right.”  Remember that understanding each other's moods and needs doesn’t mean that you always feel the same way about everything. It just means that you have a deep empathy for each other and place a high value on each other's feelings. How complementary are your desires? Do you have similar libidos? If you're with your soul mate, he should know what you like and you should know what he likes, and you should enjoy doing those things together.   Don’t assume that you will naturally come together sexually—many people are nervous  trying new things in the bedroom. Communicate your desires to each other. If you're not satisfied, let him know what you want him to do. You’ll never know if you’re really compatible if you’re not open with each other.   Don't worry if sex isn’t a priority in your relationship, as long as it’s not a priority for either of you, and as long as when it does happen, you both feel fulfilled.


Think about the future. Consider how important your health is to you. Notice how you make decisions. Determine how your tastes have changed. Map out your routines. Reflect on your nostalgia. Track your awareness of current events. Record how much sleep you get.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Where do you see yourself five years down the line? Ten? Do you have a plan, or are you still waiting for things to just happen? When you're a kid, your mindset is in the here and now. Maybe you think about what's going to happen tomorrow or this summer. You know you're a grown-up when you think seriously about your life many years down the line. You might want to take action to influence your future life. You may look more for stability instead of adventure. This can manifest in a few different ways:  You invest in a retirement fund. You purchase more expensive but sturdier products that will last you for years instead of cheap goods that you plan to throw out. You’re planning to have children. If you have children already, you’re planning for their futures as well as your own. The more mature you become, the more you realize how your decisions can impact your health. You start thinking about the long-term effects of your diet and exercise regime. You may even start working out more to keep a youthful figure. You might worry about dying. Reflect on your health habits.  Do you worry about joint pain or flexibility? Do you exercise so that you can live longer? Do you exercise because of your cardiovascular (heart) health or to improve a medical condition, such as high cholesterol? Do you worry about high salt, sugar, or fat intake? Do you often think about your own mortality? When people are young, they often care a lot about what their peers, family, and conventional society will think of them. They may make decisions based on what their parents wish for them or what is a "normal" path for people in their community. Making decisions based not on these influences but instead on what is best and most fulfilling for you is a sign of true maturity.  There may come a point in your life in which you care less about prescribed or conventional opinion and focus on what will bring you satisfaction. This may end up being in line with what is "typical" or expected, or it may look very different. What did you like 10 or...


Think about the future. Set clear goals. Determine strategic actions needed to reach your goals. Prioritize your goals. Take time to reflect.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Look beyond the immediate and into the future in order to get a clear vision of where you see yourself in the future. Make sure that your plan for the day lines up with your short-term and long-term goals for your company.  Strategic working doesn’t have to involve outlandish and complex plans. The most important thing to do is to simply connect your thoughts to outcomes in your work.  Try to schedule regular brainstorming sessions with yourself and your colleagues. Put some ideas down on paper to help capture your thoughts. Think about what you want to accomplish in your work in the future, both long-term and short-term. These goals should be specific to your future vision. In addition, they should be measurable and time-specific. For example, if you envision enlarging your small, local delivery business, then you may set a specific goal of expanding your delivery area into three more counties, owning a large fleet of delivery trucks, having 200 employees, and/or running a shipping/packing warehouse. Gather all of the data you need to determine what it will take to accomplish your goals. Each goal could have numerous strategies that will achieve the goal but with different costs, schedules, and resources. You should consider strategic elements like what materials you will need and how much time you think it will take to achieve these goals. For example, if your goal involves expanding your delivery business, you should consider how much it will cost to purchase more delivery vehicles, how you might increase your marketing to expand into new areas, and how much time/money it will take to do accomplish these things. Write each goal out, including the method(s) you will use toward accomplishment, costs, resource requirements, delegation of responsibilities, and the time it will take to achieve the goal.  Consider which goals you will need to address first – which are more important, or which might need to be accomplished before others can be tackled. Consider immediacy, importance, and ease of execution. Some...


Think about the kind of friends that you want. Meet people from your activities. Monitor their behavior Choose people with similar interests and goals. Talk to trusted advisors.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

What qualities are you looking for in a friend? Determining these things ahead of time will help you know what to look for when you are making new friends. Search out people who have these positive qualities you want in your life.  Some qualities you might consider are kindness, honesty, loyalty, intelligence, or creativity. Think of ways to tell if people possess these qualities. For example, someone who makes good grades in school is probably intelligent. Someone who volunteers at a nursing home is probably kind. Someone who is very active in art class is probably creative. Try to become friends with people who have good morals. A good place to meet people like this is at your church youth group or in an activity group organized through your school. People who get involved in activities and in the community are less likely to cause problems. . Do this before you start hanging out with someone new. If they mouth off in school, get into fights, or bully others, don't get too close to them. Hanging out with likeminded people is important. The saying “you are what you eat” can be applied to the friends you choose as well. If you hang out with motivated, driven people that will begin to rub off on you as well. If you spend time with people who don’t care about school or who are not nice to others, those behaviors could eventually rub off on you. There are probably a lot of people in your life (parents, teachers, counselors) who have more life experience than you and would love to advise you on how to find and keep good friends. Take advantage of their advice by talking to them and asking their opinion. It might help!


Think about the kind of poem you want to write. Read poetry. Decide if you want to write in rhyme or free verse. Practice freewriting. Make several drafts.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Form can help establish meaning by drawing the reader's attention to particular parts or by simply making the poem more appealing/memorable through repetition, rhyme, and other poetic devices. A few common poetic forms with a long history are:  Haiku- a 3-line poem containing lines of 5, then 7, then 5 syllables Sonnet- a 14-line poem made of an octave (8 lines) and a sestet (6 lines) or three quatrains (4 lines) and a couplet (2 lines) Sestina- a poetic form involving 6 6-line stanzas followed by a 3-line stanza with a complex repetition of the final word of each line of poetry Prose poem- a type of poem without traditional poetry line breaks which looks like prose but maintains other elements of poetry What we read influences how we write. If you want to write poetry in a classical Greek style, read classical Greek poetry. If you want to mimic Walt Whitman's flowing free-verse, read some of Walt Whitman's memorable poetry. Reading other great writers is one of the best ways to improve your own writing skills. Rhyming poetry can be more memorable and can flow more enjoyably for the reader. However, this form can be more limiting in content (when you have to choose a word that rhymes with another word instead of being able to choose the word you actually mean.).  Here is an example of a rhyming poem. This is the beginning of Shakespeare's "Sonnet 28." Notice the standard ABAB rhyming scheme: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? / Thou art more lovely and more temperate: / Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, / And summer's lease hath all too short a date  Free verse poems are not constricted by end rhymes and can flow however the author sees fit. As example, here is a portion of Walt Whitman's famous free-verse poem "Song of Myself": There was never any more inception than there is now, / Nor any more youth or age than there is now, / And will never be any more perfection than there is now, / Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now. This section of the poem uses repetition of than there is...


Think about the people attending any social occasion. Keep in mind the time of day. Keep in mind the formality of the occasion.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You should act differently depending on who you’re around.  Social situations with your friends should feel relaxed and comfortable. You may speak and act less formally if you're with your friends. During work events, you should be more attentive to social mores. While you may be friendly with your co-workers and your boss, it's not the same as being around your friends.  Being around family members also means you act differently. You may not talk or act the same around your family as you do around your friends. Make sure to be especially attentive to the situation when you're meeting new people. You want to be on your best behavior and manners when introducing yourself to new acquaintances. Attending social occasions in the morning or daytime hours is different than those in the evening.  Realize the expectations in terms of meals. If the party is during a meal, it's likely that a meal will be served rather than finger food. Know the expectations of what you should bring. Social occasions around dinner time may require you to bring a bottle of wine. Contact your host if you're not sure. Don't overindulge on food or drink.This is especially true for social occasions during the day. You don't want to look foolish in front of others. Different occasions require different levels of formality. You may need to dress or act differently.  Know where the event is taking place. If it's in a church, like a baptism or a wedding, then make sure to dress appropriately. Time of day also tells you how formal the occasion may be. In general, the later the occasion, the more formal it becomes. Pay attention to invitations. If there are a number of invitations that are relatively formal, then know that the event is probably formal as well.


Think about the people you already know. Find joy in the journey.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Who are the people you can't be without, who bring a ray of sunshine into your day and who are special to you. Sometimes it's easy to take these people for granted because they're the ones who don't demand a lot from you, who can be relied upon and who are a source of support and unconditional love. These people bring joy into your life and are important for you to acknowledge as such. One of the most challenging aspects of life is the constant messaging to have goals and that it is only when these goals are achieved that you'll find joy. The reality is that the goal may not bring joy and that the journey along the way is your life and it's getting spent every moment, not just at the point of achievement. Thus, it makes sense to enjoy the journey and find what is joyful along the way, each and every day.  Take care to avoid focusing so much on the finish line that you lose sight of joy in the journey. Notice the things that are good about each day. Notice the wonder of the world about you as often as possible. Make a conscious choice to stop now and then and really take in the things around you. Be interested in and curious about the world. Revive your childlike wonder, only this time, overlay it with your positive experiences and deeper knowledge.


Think about the times when you feel uncomfortable around your boyfriend. Figure out what it is that makes you feel uncomfortable in those times. Create a plan of action to address the issue.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

It will be helpful to write these times down on a piece of paper or in a notebook so that you can find patterns.  Are you uncomfortable when it is just the 2 of you? Are you uncomfortable when the 2 of you are with other people? If so, what other people? Friends? Parents? Siblings? Are you uncomfortable when you hang out or have a date at home? Are you uncomfortable when physical contact occurs? Are you uncomfortable when talking about controversial topics, like politics? Once you have determined a pattern of times when you have felt uncomfortable around your boyfriend, try to pinpoint exactly what about those situations caused you discomfort.  Was it that the 2 of you were alone with no distractions when conversation ran out? Was it that you were worried about what might happen when the 2 of you were alone? Are you concerned that your parents, siblings, or friends do not like your boyfriend? Does it bother you the way your boyfriend behaves when other people are around? For example, does he show off or brag on those occasions? Do you not yet feel comfortable with any kind of physical intimacy, including holding hands, hugging, or kissing? Does it bother you when your boyfriend talks about things like religion or politics? If so, why does it bother you? Do you have different views from him? Are you not confrontational? Do you want to avoid an argument? Does your boyfriend make you feel unsafe? Do you feel like you cannot trust your boyfriend? Is this due to past or current infidelity (cheating) or a lack of commitment? Once you have determined why you feel uncomfortable around your boyfriend, you need to do something about it. Come up with a plan to address the issue.  Express to him that you feel nervous and a little uncomfortable. Chances are, he feels the same way, and discussing it will help both of you feel more comfortable.  Spend more time getting to know him. Carefully talk to him about how he acts when other people are around the 2 of you. Let him know that you like him for who he is and that you...


Think about things you can sell. Look for ways to sell your items. Set a price for your items. Let others sell things for you. Consider renting out your stuff if you don't want to sell it.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

One of the easiest ways to make money on the side is to sell things you no longer need. Look around your house or yard for things you have but are willing to part with for some money. You will have the easiest time earning some extra cash this way if the items are in good condition and are desired by others (it will be hard to sell a broken video game console, or your personal collection of gum wrappers, for instance). Things that can have good resale value include:  Books Video games CDs or records DVDs Gently-used name brand clothing Jewelry Smartphones Computers Tablets Musical instruments and equipment Bicycles Cans and bottles (in some states, you can get a refund for these; otherwise, you might be able to sell them to a recycling center) You might already know some friends that would like to buy your stuff. If not, you'll need to find some ways to advertise the things you have and connect to buyers. Some options include:   Online auction sites such as eBay  “For Sale” postings (these can be posted to a bulletin board, in a newspaper, or on an online classifieds board like Craigslist)  Online retailers like Amazon or AbeBooks.com (these sites usually charge a small fee or percentage of your profit) Yard sales Flea markets  Pawn shops  Trade-in at stores (this works for certain items; some stores will buy used clothing, CDs and Records, or books, for instance) Deciding how much to sell you stuff for can be difficult. If you are selling via an auction, you can let the price be determined by the highest bidder. Otherwise, you can either set a price or ask potential buyers to make you an offer. You are more likely to make a sale, however, if you set a price for your buyers.  Your price might be determined by market demand. For instance, if you are selling a used smartphone that you know people can purchase for $100, you are most likely to make a sale if you sell it for $100 or less. You can get a good sense of the price to sell an item by looking for how much comparable items sell for online. For instance,...


Think about what food you love to make. Create a menu. Test your dishes.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Catering, like any other business, should be rooted in a genuine interest and passion. Consider the following types of food you could focus on as you develop your catering business:  Lunch or  brunch-style food. If you enjoy making sandwiches, quiches, tarts, salads, and other food that is generally served during the day, you might want to model your business around lunchtime service. You could cater business luncheons, daytime awards ceremonies, school functions, and so on. Wedding reception or special event meals. Wedding caterers typically offer a variety of appetizers and finger foods along with several hearty entrees and a few desserts. Desserts only. If you love baking and have a flair for making cookies and cakes, consider desserts-only catering. This may limit the types of clients who hire you, but you'll also have less equipment to buy. Appetizers and cocktails. Clients are increasingly hiring caterers to create a trendy, festive atmosphere by serving only appetizers, sometimes accompanied by caterer-prepared specialty cocktails. By doing this first, you can figure out how much kitchen space you'll need, what appliances you should install and how much you can expect to bring in financially.  Try to have a variety of items to suit different tastes. Even if you specialize in one cuisine or type of meal, make sure your menu appeals to a lot of tastes. For example, if you want to offer a lot of spicy food, have non-spicy options as well. Consider offering vegetarian and vegan options for clients who don't eat meat and other animal products. Keep your menu to a manageable size, with food you're comfortable cooking made with ingredients you know you can source. Once you've settled on a menu, have a party to test out your dishes on family and friends. Ask them for honest feedback about the entire experience - both the food and the service.  Tweak your dishes until you're convinced they're delicious and crowd friendly. Practice makes perfect. Make sure you've got the techniques, cooking times, and...


Think about what goods or services would improve your life. Decide whether you'd like to provide a product or a service. Identify a problem within the existing industry you are familiar with. Build upon an existing business idea. Look towards the future. Conduct preliminary consumer research. Apply your skills to a different field. Write down all your ideas. Foster your creativity. Take breaks. Get plenty of sleep.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Keep a list of your personal strengths and weaknesses in mind. When you look at that list, does anything come to mind that would improve your life? Spend some time considering your own experiences. With some time and creativity, you can probably identify several products or services that would help you. A new business idea will likely either be based around a product or a service. Each requires some thought and creativity. They both have advantages and challenges that you should consider before focusing on one or the other.  For a new product, you'll have to develop a good or improve upon an existing one, then invest in manufacturing to produce it. This is an expense, but a successful product can be very lucrative. Providing a service will eliminate the need for developing and manufacturing a new product. However, you'll probably have to hire more people since it will be tough to grow your business if you're the only one providing a service. Both choices will involve marketing and advertising, so plan on investing time and money here no matter which you choose. Frequently, businesses or inventions began because someone was frustrated with the current way of doing things. A good way to come up with a business idea is to look for these problems. If you're feeling frustrated about something, it is possible that others feel the same way and this gives you a potential market. Perhaps no one in your locale provides repair work for lawnmowers. If no one does, you've identified a lack that you could remedy by providing that service. Rather than a problem with the current industry, you might notice something that a business does well. Look into that and see if you can improve upon it. By taking an idea one step further than the current industry does, you can carve a niche for yourself in the market. When Google first started, for example, there were plenty of other internet search engines. Google, however, developed an extremely accurate algorithm that improved the quality of search results. Google successfully took a...


Think about what is bothering you. Discuss how you feel with your partner. State your feelings and concerns. Agree to set some boundaries. Enforce the boundaries you set.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

While it may seem simple, think about what it is that really bothers you. Are there specific situations when your partner feels clingy? Are there any factors you bring in, such as you get upset with the clinginess when you’re tired, stressed, or frustrated? What thoughts and feelings come up when you think about your partner being clingy?  Do you tend to run from relationships when they become serious? Or have you been the clingy partner in the past? Reflect on your own dating history and think if this has anything to do with how you feel. Try to look at things from your partner’s perspective. He or she might be afraid of losing you or may feel depressed. You may want to write down what bothers you, when, and why so you can better understand how to express yourself. It’s not fair to you or your partner to hold these feelings in and keep them to yourself. Have a talk with your girlfriend or your boyfriend and let him or her know that you feel overwhelmed. Your partner may not know the way you feel and unintentionally smother you, and by you holding in your feelings, you may begin to resent your partner. Plan to have a talk with your partner and gently let him or her know what bothers you. It can be difficult to have these conversations, but remember that it’s important to communicate your feelings to your partner.  Don’t accuse your partner of being clingy. Be gentle in your approach, saying, “It’s important to spend time with you, and yet it’s also important for us to have our separate lives and interests, too.” Say, “I feel a healthy relationship includes spending quality time together, and also time apart. It’s important to me to keep my interests and friends while still being in a fulfilling relationship with you.” Instead of only expressing your concerns, try to think of some actionable steps you can bring up in order to offer some solutions, which can be found in the next section. You may feel like pinning the problem all onto your partner, saying “You make me feel….” or “I hate it when you…” Avoid this...


Think about what is meaningful to you. Identify your “best possible self. Prioritize these areas. Start narrowing down. Determine the Who. Determine the What. Determine the When. Determine the Where. Determine the How. Determine the Why. Word your goals positively. Make sure that your goals are performance-based.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Research shows that when you base your goals on something that motivates you, you’re more likely to achieve it. Identify areas of your life that you would like to change. At this stage, it’s okay for these areas to be fairly broad.  Common areas for goals include self-improvement, improving your relationships, or achieving some measure of success with an undertaking, such as work or education. Other areas you could examine might include spirituality, finance, your community, and health.  Consider asking yourself some big questions, such as “How do I want to grow?” or “What do I want to offer the world?” These can help you determine what is most valuable to you.  For example, you might think about meaningful changes you’d like to see in health and personal relationships. Write those two areas down, as well as what changes you’d like to see. It’s okay if your changes are broad at this point. For example, for health you might write “improve fitness” or “eat healthy.” For personal relationships, you might write “spend more time with family” or “meet new people.” For self-improvement, you might write “learn to cook.” ” Research suggests that identifying your “best possible self” can help you feel more positive and happy about your life. It can also help you in thinking about what goals really are meaningful to you. Finding your “best possible self” requires two steps: visualizing yourself in the future, having achieved your goals, and considering the characteristics you will need to get you to that place.  Imagine a time in the future where you are your best version of yourself. What would that look like? What would be most meaningful to you? (It’s important to focus on what’s meaningful to you, rather than on what you may feel pressured to achieve by others.) Imagine the details of this future self. Think positively. You can imagine something that is a “life dream,” a milestone accomplishment, or other big achievement. For example, if your best possible self is a baker with her own successful cake bakery, imagine...


Think about what you already know about the text. Figure out what is in the book, how it is arranged, and where the important stuff is. Think about what you already know about the topic.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This includes considering the context in which it was written, or is used. Sample questions might include:  Who wrote it? What do I know about this person? When was it written? What do I know about that time? Sample strategies include:  Scan TOC (Table of Contents) Scan chapters and headings. Look at pictures and graphs. Read the introduction and conclusion. Scan introductory sections. You may not need to read more,  or you may be able to read only the parts you still need to learn.


Think about what you can offer to others. Create positive expectations. Be fair during conflicts. Avoid complaining or gossiping about others. Use gratitude to promote growth in all areas of your life.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

While you can't make anyone feel gratitude, you can take actions that increase the likelihood that they will. Build others' trust in you by thinking about how you can use your skills and personal qualities to help them. Then find simple ways to put your plan into practice. For instance, if you're a good listener, you could make sure to be there for your friends when they need someone to talk to. Make sure your everyday behaviors show people that you are trustworthy. Tell the truth, treat everyone with courtesy, and be accountable for your actions. People are grateful for honesty and thoughtfulness, and these qualities will make them feel like they can trust you. Be consistent in your behavior, even if you are busy or have a bad day. People won't trust you unless you are reliable in your actions. If you have a disagreement with someone, handle it fairly and maturely. Avoid bringing up old grievances, and don't stoop to personal insults. Instead, focus on finding a solution that everyone is satisfied with. People will appreciate your fair behavior, and this will increase their trust in you. The same rule applies if you find yourself mediating a conflict between two other people. Listen to both sides of the story, and avoid siding with either person. Then help them come up with a reasonable solution. Talking about people behind their backs will undermine your trustworthiness immediately. Avoid two-faced behavior, and focus on what you appreciate about people instead. When others realize you won't speak badly about anyone when they're not around, they will trust you to protect their reputation the same way. Gratitude can promote prosocial behavior, improve your career, and improve your health. Avoid focusing on the negative aspects of your life and focus on the positive aspects as a way to enrich your life in all areas. Even if something does not go as you'd hoped it would, use the experience as a tool for growth and try to identify what you can learn from it.  For example, if you fail a test, then identify what...


Think about what you enjoy in Minecraft and why.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This will give you some clue on why you started and kept going with Minecraft. Reminding yourself about what you enjoy and like to do in the game can help direct you to build back on those things, especially if you've been diverted recently by other things in the game.


Think about what you want from your conversation with them. Anticipate their questions and concerns. Write a list of their possible concerns and your responses to them. Prepare a description of your boyfriend for your parents. Ask advice from friends, family, or other trusted people.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Perhaps you want their approval, or maybe you need their advice on relationships in general. Considering this ahead of time will make it easier to communicate with them.    Recognize your feelings and include them in the this conversation. For example, “Mom/Dad, I met this wonderful person who I want to tell you about. But I am afraid you might not approve.” Or: “I really like this guy, but he lives far away and I’m not sure how to tell him how much he means to me. Do you have any suggestions?” Your parents have your best interests at heart. They want you to be safe and happy in your relationships. It can be helpful to see things from their perspective too.   Your parents will want to be sure that your boyfriend is who he claims to be and will not cause you harm. They will likely want to meet him as soon as possible, either in person or in an online video chat with you present. They will want to know how you communicate with your boyfriend: email, texting, video chat, or telephone. If your relationship has only been online, they may urge you to meet him in person as soon as possible to make sure your feelings are the same in person. Your parents may worry that you or your boyfriend may not commit to the relationship because of the distance. This exercise can be useful for rehearsing for your talk with your parents. It can also help you avoid getting overly anxious or angry during the talk.  Make two columns: one lists the concerns and questions they may have, and the other column lists your responses. Give yourself some time with this exercise, as ideas sometimes take days or weeks to come into your head. Talk to friends, family, and other trusted people for help if necessary. They will be curious about any new friend or romantic partner their children meet.  Talk about his age, where he lives, and his occupation. Describe his family: for example, his parents, siblings, and pets. If he has hobbies or a unique skill, your parents will enjoy hearing about them. Show them photos or screenshots of your boyfriend,...


Think about what you want to say before saying it. Become an active listener. Address the needs of the whole patient. Speak in plain English. Base your discussion on past experiences. Accurately and thoroughly educate the patient. Verify comprehension.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

When you already know what needs to be said, start planning out the best way to say it before the patient enters your office. You don't need to write out an entire script, but getting a basic idea of what needs to be said before you put yourself in the situation can make it easier to remember all the necessary details. Doing this can also give you the opportunity to think about the best way to phrase things. Ask the patient plenty of open-ended questions about his or her concerns. Pay close attention to the patient's responses, and parrot those responses back to the patient.  Watch for both verbal and nonverbal responses. Repeating your patient's replies can clarify the situation for you while assuring the patient that his or her concerns are being addressed. The patient is more than a medical specimen. You need to view the patient as a whole being with unique fears, beliefs, and circumstances.  Respect all of the beliefs your patient holds, even if you disagree with them. Encourage the patient to ask questions and address those questions fully. Abandon as much formal medical terminology as possible and speak to the patient in layman's terms. Speak slowly and clearly to avoid unnecessary confusion.  When describing important information about a condition or treatment, separate that information into small chunks. Let each chunk sink in before continuing. Only provide technical details when asked. Too much complicated detail can overwhelm many patients. Some say that in the United States, the average person's reading comprehension is stuck at a sixth grade level. Try translating the words you would use to describe the situation to another doctor into words a sixth grader might use. When you need to explain the significance of certain actions, try framing your explanation in past experiences the patient will understand.  If the patient has recently been to the hospital, explain how neglecting a certain treatment plan may make hospitalization necessary again. When the patient's family or friends have experienced...


Think about what you want to sing about. Choose your style. Create lyrics that rhyme most of the time.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Punk music can be about almost anything: a relationship that’s soured, politics, your feelings towards something in general, or just something completely random. If you write a song about your feelings towards something, make sure it stays “punk” and not ‘emo’. Emo is short for emotive punk rock, and is actually an offshoot of punk. We're trying to write punk here, not an offshoot of punk. Make your lyrics match they style of punk you are playing (but remember that  within all these styles there are variants).  Hardcore should be shouted with just a couple phrases repeated, about politics or something relevant. Psychobilly/horror-punk should be about B movies or killing. 77 punk or post punk can be about love or pretty much anything. Most punk songs use rhyme a lot. If you can't come up with a perfect rhyme (as in: seedy / needy / greedy), try using imperfect rhymes. There are two main types:  The vowel sounds of the words are the same (e.g. subtle/bubble) The consonant sounds are the same (e.g. middle/muddle) To make words rhyme, you can also try using an alternate pronunciation. To make “more” and “sure”rhyme, for example, you could pronounce “sure” as “shore”.


Think about what you want. Talk with them about a game plan. Save the details of the split for non-work friends. Keep interactions brief and work-related.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

When you were happily coupled with a coworker, navigating the workplace after the breakup was the furthest thing from your mind. Now that it’s a reality, you need to consider how you want things to be.  Take a moment to jot down how you would ideally like to interact with your ex moving forward. Are you okay with being friends with your ex or would you much rather avoid them as much as possible? How your interactions look moving forward will probably depend on how the relationship ended and the cause of the breakup. Consider which work activities will be impacted by your interactions with your ex. How do think those activities will need to change as you end your relationship? You’ve already had the “talk,” but now the two of you need to reach an agreement about how to handle workplace interactions. Luckily, you already know what you want. You just need to negotiate with your ex to come up with a friendly agreement.  You might bring up the subject by saying, “We work together and I don’t want the breakup to affect us professionally. How do you want to handle things?” The two of you might decide that one of you will switch project teams to reduce contact or you might avoid each other at after-work gatherings. Your close pals at work may have enjoyed the relationship when it was at its best, but they’ll likely feel the pressure once the 2 of you have split. Ease the tension by leaving personal conversations for unbiased friends.  Avoid talking about what caused the breakup or your ex with your coworkers. Identify 1 or 2 good friends who don’t work with you. Turn to them for support after the breakup. A good rule-of-thumb is to keep any interactions between you and your ex to a bare minimum, especially in the days and weeks following the breakup. Conduct any personal discussions between the two of you outside of work. Spending too much time together or talking about anything beyond work could heighten tension and put your professionalism in jeopardy.


Think about what you want. Write about yourself. Imagine your future. Make your goals specific. Think about why.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Many people have only a vague sense of what they want from life. In this first step, your task is to starting converting ideas like "happiness" or "security" into things you would like to do.  Get a pen and some paper and start writing down things that are important to you in life. It's okay to be general at this stage, but try not to be vague. For example, if the first thing that pops into your head is "happiness," that's fine. But try to define that term. What does "happiness" mean to you? What would you consider a happy life? One good way to start moving from general to specific is to do some free-writing about yourself. Think about your personality and your interests. This can help you define what is most important to you.  Try writing about how you enjoy spending your time. Begin your brainstorm by writing down what you enjoy doing and what excites you.  Don't limit yourself to activities or experiences that you think are productive or "worth doing." The point of a brainstorm is to get down as many ideas as possible, and this list will be useful later on in the process. Write about things you are interested in and/or would like to learn more about. Are you interested in science? In literature? In music? Any of these could become lifelong pursuits. Write about things about yourself you'd like to improve. Are you hoping to develop your skills as a public speaker? As a writer? As a photographer? Again, these can all become life-long pursuits. Think about your ideal future. What does it look like? Ask yourself questions that will help you get to a detailed picture. For example, imagine you are trying to decide on a long-term career. Here are some questions you might ask:  What time do you want to wake up every morning? Where do you want to live? The city? A rural area? A foreign country? Who will be there when you wake up? Is it important to you to have a family? If so, a job that requires a lot of long trips out of town might not be the best choice. How much money do you want to make? The answers to these...


Think about what you'll say. Be honest. Avoid blame. Look for positives.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

When breaking up with someone, it's important to go into the situation with some kind of plan. If you're breaking up with your boyfriend, spend some time identifying your feelings and figuring out how to best express them.  Figure out your own feelings. Why do you want out of the relationship? Think about why it has not been working for you and how to best convey this to your boyfriend. Think about what you might say. You should be honest without being brutal. For example, if you think your boyfriend is boring, say something along the lines of, "I'm not sure we're compatible in terms of personality," instead of outright saying you're bored. Try to predict how your boyfriend may react — think about how you would feel if you were him. This can help you go into the situation from a place of sensitivity and empathy. It may be helpful to discuss this with a trusted friend. Talking it over can help you clarify your feelings, and they can let give you an outside perspective on your approach. For instance, they may point out that you're not being direct enough and that it might confuse your boyfriend and give him false hope. It's never easy to break up, but it's always best to be honest. Go into the conversation from a place of directness. Open it by saying, "I've been thinking about it, but I think we should see other people." From there, you can offer more of an explanation.  Remaining calm, explain your reasons. Remember, you don't have to be hurtful. However, it will give your boyfriend closure to know why the relationship ended. For example, "I care about you a lot, but we're both going to different schools next year. I think the distance won't be good for us or our relationship." There are often hurt feelings or resentments accompanying breakups. It's okay to feel angry, frustrated, or hurt about things your boyfriend has done and said in the past. However, try to avoid blaming him for the relationship's end. It's best to walk away from a relationship from as positive a place as possible.  Try not to bring up...


Think about what your body language is saying. Respect and be kind to others. Be assertive. Prepare yourself in advance.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Your body language can sometimes say more than your words.  Most of the time body language is determined by how you feel, rather than what you want to portray.  But you can change that by simply paying attention to the position of your body while you’re having a conversation.  There are specific ways you can adjust your body to convey confidence, they are:  Don’t fidget.  Stand in one spot, with your feet planted on the ground hip-width apart.  Stand evenly on both feet, don’t shift from one foot to another. Lean back in your chair when you’re sitting.  Don’t fidget your lower body.  If you need to cross your legs, do so comfortably and loosely.  Keep you hands in a relaxed position. Look in one spot, or one general area.  Keep your head still.  Hold you head upwards, with your chin level to the ground. Hold your hands together in front or behind you when not using them.  If you grip your hands together, do so lightly.  But don’t hide your hands in your pockets and don’t put grip your hand in a fist. Don’t rush.  Walk steadily.  Talk steadily as well, don’t rush to get your words out.  Confident people are not in a hurry. Pause every now and again - whether walking or talking. Be comfortable and don’t fidget when there’s a break in the conversation or everyone goes silent. Be assertive.  Smile.  Look people in the eyes.  If you’re shaking someone’s hand, do so firmly. To truly see that beauty is on the inside, you have to see it in yourself AND in everyone else.  Every individual has one or more awesome qualities that make them special.  When you’re with other people, look at them with new eyes and see the person they really are - on the inside.  By seeing these qualities in others, you’ll start to notice them in yourself.  Use this opportunity to explore the specific qualities you admire in others, and how you can work to achieve them yourself.  Select role models for yourself based on these qualities. Don’t be afraid to tell other people what you admire about them.  Nothing boosts confidence and self-esteem...


Think about what your design is going to represent. Pick a color scheme. Add dimension to the design. Balance your design. Determine the placement of the design on the t-shirt. Complete a final mock up of the design.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Maybe you are advertising your cleaning company, your rock band, or your favorite sports team. Maybe you’re using a personal illustration. The purpose of the design will determine the design.  If you are advertising a company, band, sporting team, or brand, you will likely need to focus on logo. The Nike swoosh logo, for example, is a very simple but effective design. A design for a sporting team might feature the team colors or the team’s mascot. A design for your band might focus on an image of the band or a graphic that represents the band’s style or sound. If you are making a t-shirt to showcase a personal illustration or drawing, you will need to focus on how it will look on a t-shirt. Think about how original the illustration is and how the colors are working in the illustration. Consider using a photo in your design. Use your own photo. You may use a picture made by someone else, but only if you have acquired the legal rights to use that image. You can also buy a stock image. When designing a t-shirt, its important to think about color contrast. This means how certain ink colors in the design will appear against a lighter colored shirt or a darker colored shirt. Certain ink colors look more vibrant on a lighter or darker shirt on the computer screen than they actually do when printed.  When using lighter shirts, avoid pastel colors like yellow, light blue, or light pink. These colors will be visible on the shirts but may not be legible at a distance. And if you are designing a shirt with a logo, you want to make sure that logo is legible from far away! If you decide to use pastel colors, add an outline of a darker color to the lighter color to highlight the text and make it easier to read. Darker colored shirts look good with lighter ink colors, such as pastels. But be careful when using darker ink colors on darker colored shirts like cardinal (dark blue), maroon, or forest green. These colors may look great on the computer or in a drawing, but when they print, the shirt color sometimes distorts the...


Think about where you do most of your business. Consider the potential impact on your community. Weigh your projected revenue against the tax breaks. Be aware that a physical presence is required. Incorporate as a foreign corporation if necessary.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The most sensible thing to do is to register your corporation in the state where you conduct most of your business.  By doing this, you save yourself from having to set up a new physical location. You can continue to do business in your state and you will not have to worry about making major changes. If you are thinking about setting up your business somewhere other than your home state, then you might want to consider how setting up in your home state might benefit it. Not only would you be stimulating the economy, you might also have an impact on the people in your community. For example, corporations are often more attractive to employees because of their ability to offer competitive wages and health insurance. Therefore, incorporating in your home state could provide jobs for many people in your community. In some cases there may be a significant financial advantage to setting up shop in another state. To determine if this is the case for your business, calculate your projected revenue for the year and consider how much money you would save if you were to incorporate in another state versus your home state. For example, if you anticipate a revenue of $150,000, but your state will collect 11% of that, then you would end up paying $16,500 in taxes. Therefore, you might be tempted to incorporate in a state that would only charge 4% on your revenue because that would only cost you $6,000 in taxes. If you choose to incorporate in a different state, then you will have to establish a physical presence in that state. Otherwise, you will still be subject to the laws and taxes of your home state. For example, many businesses are attracted to Delaware because of the low cost of doing business there. However, unless your business has a physical location in Delaware, you cannot reap the benefits of its corporation laws and low filing fees. You may decide at a later date that you want to incorporate somewhere else because you are doing more business there. If your business expands and you find that you are doing more...


Think about where you will see them. Go up and say hi, and tell them you want to talk. Start a conversation with them. Tell them you are happy to see them. Ask them genuinely how they have been. Ask them follow up questions. Tell them interesting things that have been going on with you. Ask them if you can hang out again. Pay attention to their response. Follow up with a text or message.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Maybe you are not trying to go out of your way to see your crush, but you share a friend group and want to be friendly and cool with them- you can use these steps to help create a good connection with them. Or if you want to get into contact with your old crush and you can’t or don’t want to contact them directly, hang out with the mutual friends you have, and go to events they will probably be at.  You can call your friends and ask them about the events and parties that are coming up and then attend those events. Or if you know they go to certain church activities, for example, you can start attending those activities again. Don’t use your friends to get to your crush. For example, when you hang out with your friends, be there to have a good time with them first, and consider seeing your crush second. That way if it doesn’t work out, you will still have a good time, and you won’t mistreat your friends. When you first see each other, make sure you acknowledge them. If you see them across the room, give them a smile, and a friendly wave or greeting. If it doesn’t seem like a good time to talk, tell them “It is great to see you! I want to talk to you. Can you give me a minute?” You can finish doing what you are doing, and let them finish doing what they are doing, too.  Giving yourself a minute will help you compose yourself and can add a good element of anticipation for your conversation. Think about an interesting topic of conversation or something that you can ask them about as an ice breaker before you walk up and talk to them. For example, you can make an observation about the party you are at by saying something like, “I like that they really made sure that all of our chip needs are met at this party.” Then gesture to a table covered in 10 different types of chips. Once they are free to talk, start a conversation. If you are somewhere where it is difficult to talk, ask them, “Do you want to find a better place to talk?” Look for somewhere quiet and relaxed where you sit down and catch up uninterrupted. If...


Think about where you're going. Consider whether drinking is involved. Bring along some cash.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you have special plans, think them over ahead of time. For example, are you planning a beach day? If so, don't forget your swimsuit and towel. Are you going out hiking during the fall months? Make sure to bring hiking shoes and a light jacket. If you're going to be consuming alcohol over the weekend, plan ahead. Bring something like ibuprofen in case you end up with a hangover. Also, if your boyfriend's throwing a party or get together, chip in for alcohol. Pack a bottle of wine. You never know when you might need cash. If the two of you want to order a pizza, for example, it's easier to have cash on hand to pay your share. Try breaking down larger bills like twenties into tens, singles, and fives. This can make things easier when splitting up payments.


Think about whether or not you really want to cut this person out of your life. Consider if you want to end the friendship over something that can be resolved, or if it’s because of a major shift of personalities. Look for signs that this is a toxic friendship. Give your friend a chance to change.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Ending a friendship can have a major impact on your life (and theirs), so don’t make a rash decision when you are angry. Instead, take a quiet moment to sit down and list the reasons you are friends with this person, and then list the things that you don't like about the friendship anymore. This will give you some insight on whether or not the friendship can be saved, or if you should end things.  Clearly defining the reasons you want to end the relationship will help you feel confident in your decision and communicate clearly with your friend. It will help you experience closure, a sense that you did what was best for your wellbeing.  Remember that growing apart from people is okay and natural—it doesn’t make either of you bad people. A simple misunderstanding may be the cause of the conflict; your friend might not even know that she’s done something to upset you. It’s also possible you both have just changed and don’t have much of a connection anymore—if you became friends in kindergarten and now you’re teenagers, you may have grown to like and value different things, and not be the most compatible people anymore.  Are you considering ending the friendship because she forgot to come to your big track meet or because she said something rude about your boyfriend? Unless this is part of a larger pattern of behavior, letting her know she hurt you may be enough to fix your friendship. If you feel bored by the friendship or dread spending time with her, it may mean your connection has faded.  If you find you have little in common—you struggle to find things to do together or even things to talk about—then the friendship may have simply run its course.  Is she a compassionate, thoughtful friend who sometimes flakes on your plans or is always late?  Think about whether or not your issues are things you can address with her to save the friendship.  Is your friend is socially anxious, shy or inept? Do you perhaps see a pathway for being someone who can guide your friend through these troubles? A toxic friendship is...


Think about whether your dog has become withdrawn. Look for a change from active to inactive. Watch for pacing. Observe any changes in your dog's sleeping patterns. Note changes in your dog’s diet. Consider whether destructive behavior or accidents in the house might be due to depression. Watch out for aggression.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Most healthy, happy dogs are highly sociable creatures. If your dog is not greeting you as excitedly when you come home – less of a tail wag, less energy and movement – or loses interest in activities they once enjoyed, they may be depressed.  Instead of running to the door to greet visitors, a depressed dog  may slink away and find an out-of-the-way corner to curl up and go to sleep. Be particularly concerned if your dog hides from you. Dogs that hide are usually injured, sick, or depressed.  On the other hand, depressed dogs sometimes follow their owners around everywhere they go, yet show no desire to interact. Happy dogs have seemingly endless energy. For every mile you walk, he goes four – out-and-back, and out-and-back again. They nag you to throw the ball repeatedly, and your arm grows tired before their enthusiasm runs out.  However, when depressed, your dog no longer pricks their ears up when you get their lead, and instead of charging off across the park, they trudge head-down at your heel. When you stop to talk to friends, they may sit, or even lie down. This change from active and energetic to inactive and lethargic may indicate depression. If your dog wanders from room to room and can’t find a place to settle down, they may be depressed. All dogs sleep a lot, particularly when their owners are gone. However, you should be concerned if your dog continues sleeping when you get home, or if they stay curled up instead of coming to the window or door for things that once attracted them, like the mailman or a passing dog. Most dogs will eat less and lose weight when depressed. On the other hand, just like humans, some dogs may eat more as a form of comfort. Watch for:  Refusing treats that they once loved. Weight gain or weight loss. Tearing up shoes or chewing on walls, books, furniture, or pillows are often signs of lack of exercise, which may lead to depression. Depressed dogs may also be more prone to have accidents in the house. Try not to be angry. Take them out more to ensure they have plenty of...


Think about whether your friend criticizes you. Consider whether you ever feel embarrassed by your friend. Reflect on whether you enjoy spending time with your friend. Think about how this person relates to others.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Negative friendships are often very critical. Think about how your friend treats you. Do you frequently feel like your behavior and personality are being scrutinized?  You may make attempts to grow and change. For example, you may try to apply for a new job or expand your social circle. Instead of being supportive, a toxic friend may put down your attempts to grow. For example, when you get a new job, your friend may say something like, "Good luck, but I'm not sure you can handle that much responsibility." You may also just get general criticism. The friend may, for example, mock your personality, your sense of style, and other aspects of yourself. You may always feel ashamed and inferior around this person. A negative friend may frequently engage in poor behavior. It may get to the point you get nervous taking this friend out in public. You may cringe at the idea of your friend meeting other friends or family members.  Everyone has embarrassing moments and good friends forgive one another for indiscretions. However, a toxic friend may habitually do and say things to embarrass you. Every public outing may come with the potential for poor behavior. Do you feel like you have to hide this friend? You may, for example, not want to take this friend out to meet your parents or ignore her calls and texts when you hang out with others. A healthy friendship should be mutually beneficial. When you spend time with your friend, you should feel happy and energized. In a negative friendship, you may feel nervous or unhappy when you see them.  Do you look forward to seeing this person? You may find yourself dreading get togethers. It may get to the point you screen texts and calls. You may never feel 100% comfortable or happy around this person. You may find yourself on edge the entire time, waiting for something to go wrong. Even when things go right with this person, you may not really enjoy it as you spent the whole time waiting for a potential outburst. A toxic friend has trouble with empathy. This person may be unable...


Think about who you’re talking to before using sarcasm. Don't overuse your talent. Clarify that you’re being sarcastic if necessary.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Everyone reacts differently to sarcasm.  Generally, you should be less sarcastic with those you work with or don’t know well, and more sarcastic with friends and family who know and trust you.  Even among friends and family, though, rein your sarcasm in before it starts to grate.  Refrain from being sarcastic around those who do not like sarcasm. Additionally, don’t use sarcasm toward teachers, police officers, or other authority figures. Don't be sarcastic with people who can't take a joke, people with no sense of humor, or people who just aren't in the mood. Don’t make sarcastic comments about issues that you know your conversation partner is sensitive about. A little sarcasm will make others smile.  But too much sarcasm can quickly wear others out and make people dislike you.  Do not use sarcasm so much that people will feel that they cannot say or do anything around you without being ridiculed.  People should still feel comfortable coming to you and talking to you.  There is no way to quantify how much you should use sarcasm.  Different people have different sarcasm tolerance levels. Substitute wit for sarcasm when you (or your conversation partners) have had enough sarcasm.  Wit is less hostile and more easily appreciated than sarcasm. For instance, if you and your friend are walking together and they suddenly and inexplicably stumble, you could make a sarcastic comment like, “Real smooth.”  But you could also make a witty comment like, “That ground just came out of nowhere!” Some people are not well attuned to sarcasm.  If your conversation partner takes your comments literally, you might need to inform them that you were being sarcastic.  You can easily do this by simply saying, “I was just kidding,” or “I was being sarcastic.”


Think about why you (over)eat. Think about your long-term goals. Focus on the allowed foods you enjoy. Give yourself a cheat day. Forgive yourself for occasional slip-ups. Talk to other people about your journey.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Many people who are overweight tend to over-eat not because they are hungry all the time, but because of boredom, unhappiness, social or family expectations, or just a lack of good information about healthy eating.  This is one of the reasons why healthy, lasting weight loss is about more than just trying to eat less.  Only by identifying and addressing root behaviors can a proper weight loss plan succeed.  This is also why the right support network is so important. If depression or some other condition is at the root of your struggle with your weight, the proper help is essential, before any concern about weight loss. Teen weight loss is often most effective when the entire family is fully supportive.  This does not necessarily mean that everyone has to go on a diet; it may, however, mean changing mealtime routines and replacing unhealthy eating habits with more nutritious alternatives. The hardest part of a diet is keeping yourself positive and motivated. Don't think about what you're missing out on. Instead, focus on how good it's going to feel when you can feel comfortable in your own skin and wear the clothes you want to wear. When you see other people who look great, don't get jealous — focus on how good you’ll look (and feel) if you stick to your plan! When you frame your diet in terms of what you're missing out on, you start dreading your meals. Don't even think about what you can't eat. Instead, focus on the foods you're allowed to eat that you actually enjoy!  You don't have to eat broccoli if you don't like it — stick to munching on the carrots you love! So what if you can't eat bread? You can still eat the turkey from your beloved turkey sandwiches! A diet shouldn't be a punishment. Put some thought into making your meals enjoyable so you look forward to them. No matter how hard you try to focus on the positives, it can be hard to give up a food you really love — whether it's donuts or potato chips. If you deny yourself completely, you may get frustrated and give up.  A good way to avoid this is...


Think about why you enjoy being alone. Value your strengths. Accept yourself for who you are. Learn what you can from critics, and ignore the rest. Nurture the relationships that are valuable to you.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you start feeling as though maybe you should just try harder to be more social or worried that maybe there is something wrong with you, just remind yourself of the reasons that you enjoy being alone. If you need to you can make a list of the reasons that spending time alone makes you happy. You can refer back to this list whenever you start feeling insecure. For example, for many “loners,” spending time alone allows them to “recharge their batteries” by engaging in some creative activity or simply relaxing with a good book. Some people may see extroversion as the ideal personality. However, more and more research is pointing out the value of introversion. For example, some research is finding that introverts can be great leaders because they tend to be better at letting those below them have a bit more room to try out new ideas, and are better at listening to others.  An extrovert is a person who relies on social interaction and novel experience for their energy, while an introvert is someone who is more inward focused. An introvert needs time alone and often feels drained by intense social interaction.  There is also a strong link between being introverted and being creative. Remember that many famous artists, writers, and scientists are believed to be loners, such as J.K. Rowling, Emily Dickinson, and Isaac Newton. One key thing you must do in order to become happy about being a loner is accept yourself as you are. You can certainly do things to become more social if you want to. However, if you are truly happiest when you are alone, why try to do something different? When you find yourself being self-critical, try to change your way of thinking from negative to positive. For example, if you find yourself thinking, “people think I'm such a loser because I don't like to go to parties” remind yourself of why going to parties is difficult for you. For example, “I know people don't understand how exhausting a big party is for me, but staying at home makes me feel happy so I shouldn't worry about what they...


Think about why you haven't told them. Prove the stability of your relationship. Introduce your boyfriend as a friend, first. Make sure that it's safe for you to tell them.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Try to understand the underlying communication issues between you and your parents. Perhaps you don't want to tell your parents that you're dating someone of the same gender, or someone from a different ethnic or religious background, or someone significantly older than you. Maybe your parents have forbidden you from having a boyfriend, period. Give yourself a clear picture of the situation so that you can decide how to move forward.  The longer you date this guy, the more likely your parents will be to find out. Your life will be much easier if you don't have to sneak around. Consider whether your parents would be okay with it. Perhaps you're projecting your own worries onto them. If you aren't sure, ask a trustworthy sibling or relative for advice. Your parents might be suspicious of any new guy who comes into your life, but this may just be because they care. Don't tell your parents the moment that you start dating this guy. Give it at least a few weeks (or months) before you break the news, and try to If your parents learn to trust him, they may be less hesitant to say "no". Consider that your parents may have forbidden you from dating based on the abstract idea of a boyfriend a new and potentially-threatening male presence in your life, but that they might be a bit more lenient if the male presence is a friendly face. This can be a great way to "hide" your boyfriend in plain sight. You will need to be especially careful, however, not to let your parents interacting with him in a romantic way. Try to bring him around in groups, and don't be too affectionate. Weigh the consequences of such a conversation. If your parents wouldn't react well (would disown you, forbid you from seeing your boyfriend, etc.), then it may be safer to wait. If you don't feel comfortable telling your parents, consider asking a teacher, a relative, or a community member to sit in as a moderator.


Think about why you need to lie. Plan out the details of your story. Start with the truth. Think about who will hear the lie. Rehearse your story.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Everyone lies once in a while, but take a minute to consider whether lying is really worth it in this case. Lying takes a lot more mental capacity than telling the truth, and you might get in trouble if you get caught.  You might have a good reason for lying, such as trying to keep a friend in the dark about a surprise party. If this is the case, try not to feel bad about it because you're actually doing something nice! Never tell a lie for no reason at all. Lying just for fun or just to see if you can get away with it is sure to get you into trouble eventually. If you're telling a selfish lie or a lie that might hurt other people, consider taking the high road and  telling the truth. Your lie will be much more convincing if you take the time to think about what you will say and add in meaningful details. Your story should be detailed enough to come across as genuine, but not so detailed that it seems constructed.  The amount of detail in your lie should be similar to the amount of detail you would offer if you were telling the truth. If you are known for chatting on forever about everything, it will probably seem suspicious if your lie is short and to the point. Conversely, if you are typically not very talkative, you might raise some red flags if your story is overly embellished. Even if the basis of your lie is perfectly believable, adding in details that seem far-fetched might give you away, so keep it grounded. For example, telling your friend that you stood him up because your grandma wasn't feeling well and you had to take her to a doctor's appointment is more believable than telling him that you stood him up because your grandma was kidnapped and you had to rescue her. In both cases, the gist is that you had to help your grandma, but the details are very different. You will have to remember all your details, so don't go overboard. Write them down if you have to. The easiest way to lie is to simply bend the truth. This will allow you to tell a story that is mostly true, including lots of supporting...


Think about why you want to change your reputation. Develop a “profile” of the ideal you. Make a realistic, detailed and specific plan to change your reputation. Plan to strengthen your current positive friendships. Plan to seek out and make new friends. Plan to update your appearance.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Be honest with yourself and figure out why you really want to change.   You may find that there are parts of your reputation that you don’t want to or need to change. If it’s to impress someone or just to fit in, maybe you don’t need to change your reputation, maybe you need to change your friends. If it is because your reputation is negative and makes you feel bad about yourself and/or causes you problems, then you probably do want to change it. Write a description of the new you. If you want to, create a vision board or drawing depicting the person you want to be.   Be detailed and specific. Instead of using vague terms like "fun" or "intelligent", use more descriptive and exact terms like "puts people at ease" or "knows a lot about Latin". While it can be useful to add "a neat, polished appearance" or something similar, don't focus only on physical and material things. Include descriptions of things the ideal you would do, places you would go, etc. Consider what your cyber reputation would look like as well. What types of sites, posts, comments, etc. are in line with the reputation you want to have? Using the profile you created of the ideal you, think about how you can change one or two things about your reputation.  Think about what actions/tasks you will need to do.  How will you need to change your attitude, your activities, and/or your appearance? How will you need to act and dress? Where will you need to go? What will you need to do? Make sure your changes are things that you have the ability, time and money to achieve. Think about what financial, material, and human resources you have to support you in making your changes. Think about what resources you will need, as well as, if and how you can get them. Your changes don't mean you have to stop being friends with anyone.   Share your plan with people you trust. Some people might make fun of you or not believe you, so carefully choose who you share your plan with. Make sure it is with people that truly care about you. Surround yourself with people...
