Stay awake yourself. Keep your friend moving. Talk to your friend. Stay on your feet as much as possible. Nudge or gently shake your friend if you observe her nodding off. Yell loudly at your friend if he starts to doze off.

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

This is key. By staying awake yourself, you will be able to observe when your friend is about to nod off, and you can intervene before he does fall asleep. Staying awake will allow you to talk to your friend and provide other support. Navy Basic Underwater Demolition and SEAL (BUD/S) candidates who have successfully completed “Hell Week,” in which they are awake for virtually five days, say that it is difficult to fall asleep when you are moving around. The candidates are constantly moving, exercising, and being yelled at by their SEAL instructors. You can use some of these techniques to help your friend stay awake:  Create an exercise circuit to keep moving. Try doing 10 pushups, 10 sit ups, 10 squats for as many rounds as you can. Throw a football or play a game of soccer. Near the end of Hell Week, SEAL instructors have the candidates engage in fun sports to stay awake. Try telling stories. Speak in a loud voice.  Tell your funniest story. Tell a scary story. If you are studying late into the night, stand up to take your notes. Have her move around or stand up immediately. This is common in BUD/S training. The candidates are constantly being yelled at by their instructors.


Stay away from ATMs that aren’t inside private businesses. Pat your pocket to check your phone and wallet after getting bumped. Keep a healthy distance when someone offers to give you directions. Dress inconspicuously to blend in and look like a local. Keep your bags away from the street to stop mobile thieves. Be aware of your surroundings while watching street performers. Turn down strangers offering to help you with your luggage.

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

ATM machines are magnets for pickpockets. Some thieves will work in pairs to distract you from one side while snatching your money while you aren’t looking. Other criminals will peek over your shoulder to see your PIN number and try to lift your wallet later. If you have to use an ATM, find one inside a reputable business that isn’t out in the open so that you can withdraw your cash in a safe location. ATMs that are tucked away inside of private nooks at restaurants and hotels are much more difficult to exploit. Some thieves will pretend to accidentally bump into you while you’re walking down the street or getting on the bus. When they bump into you, they’ll reach into an easily-accessed pocket to try and grab something valuable. After anyone bumps into you, subtly pat your pockets to make sure that your personal belongings haven’t been lifted.  Avoid brushing up against people in crowds or tight quarters. Thieves often rely on dense crowds to avoid being noticed. Keep a tight hold on your belongings and remain alert when you’re on the bus, getting on a train, or wandering through a crowded metropolitan area. Be wary of interviewers, fundraisers, or chatty strangers. Pickpockets will often work in teams and try to distract you while someone robs you from behind. When receiving directions from a stranger, stay at least 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) away at all times. Don’t look over their shoulder to reference a map and don’t lean in close to listen. Clever pickpockets will try to hold a map or pamphlet up to show you something while reaching into your pocket or bag. Be cautious about accepting unsolicited help. Most people are just trying to help, but pickpockets often volunteer to help to lure you into feeling safe. If you’re traveling, do your best to blend in with your environment by dressing down. Avoid bright clothing that is going to make you stand out and stay away from tourist apparel to play down the fact that you’re visiting. Thieves are less likely to try robbing someone that lives where they do. This won’t...


Stay away from citrus fruit. Avoid harsh exfoliant products.

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

Scrubs and balms that include lemon juice or other citric ingredients can irritate your skin and lips. They also cause sun sensitivity that may lead to rashes or blistering. They probably do more harm than good when it comes to healing peeling lips. Your lips are more sensitive than your skin. Even products intended for lip use may cause damage to damaged lips. Better to stick with gentle exfoliants instead of something like a facial scrub.


Stay away from dark blue Virginia creepers. Note the dark purple, flat berries of the Pokeweed. Avoid the orange-yellow, encapsulated Bittersweet berries. Steer clear of Deadly Nightshade, also known as belladonna, or jimsonweed. Never eat Ivy berries of any variety. Stick away from Yew leaves and berries. Kiss under Mistletoe but stay away from the berries. Stay away from Holly. Don't eat Dogwood berries. Stay away from Cotoneaster's big red berry bushels. Pass on the yellow-orange American Bittersweet.

They have five-fingered leaves, grow tall, and are popular as a wall creeper.  The berries are dark and blue.  They are sometimes confused with the three-fingered poison ivy. The plant is also called poke, inkberry or garget. This is a tall and bushy plant. The flowers grow in long, bright pink clusters and the berries resemble dark blueberries. They look very, very appetizing. They are not. This plant is easy to identify.  Its berry is enclosed by an orange-yellow capsule.  Make sure you do not eat them. Image of Bittersweets Many other plants in the nightshade (Solanaceae) family, such as potatoes, are not deadly.  Deadly nightshade flowers are white or purple and are star shaped.  They are mostly found in warm regions, such as in tropical America.  They are mostly found as creepers. All parts, especially the unripened berry is poisonous. There are serious and often deadly symptoms after consumption. They are green creepers, commonly climbing up trees or hanging low to the ground. They have dark green, waxy leaves.   They also called English ivy, Japanese ivy, etc. They are native to Europe and temperate Asia.  The berries are poisonous and are white when ripe. The berries are usually very bitter, making you unlikely to like them anyway. The foliage is more toxic than the berries. Death is usually sudden without any symptoms.  The berries are fleshy in appearance and bright scarlet.  They have a cup-like depression at the base. The berry itself is not dangerous, but you should still avoid yew at all cost. The seeds can cause instant death. This plant grows and survives on other plants. This parasitic plant has yellowish flowers, small, yellow- green leaves, and waxy, white berries.  It has not been established if these berries are harmful to humans or not at all points of the life cycle, but it is best to avoid them always to be safe. The Christmas bush has pointy, waxy leaves and bright-red berry clusters. One or two might not cause issues, but 15-20 can be fatal. Found in the eastern US in fall and...


Stay away from dust and mold. Avoid fragrances and other scents. Watch out for air pollution. Avoid all smoke. Fend off colds and flu. Treat your allergies.

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

These are common asthma triggers, and keeping a clean environment can go a long way in preventing asthma flareups. Make vacuuming and dusting part of your weekly cleaning routine to avoid triggering an asthma attack. To avoid dust mites, use mattress and pillow covers, wash bedding often and avoid quilts that use down feathers.  Mold is caused by humidity, so use a hygrometer to check how humid your home environment is. Use a dehumidifier to keep the environment moisture and mold-free. Regularly disinfect showers and other places where moisture can lead to mold growth. If you suspect there is a significant mold problem in your home or work place, get it professionally inspected and removed. Get a HEPA or other type of air filter for your home. You can also use fans and air conditioning to maintain good air circulation. Some people with asthma are highly sensitive to perfumes. If that's you, don't wear a lot of perfume and try to avoid being around people who wear a lot of perfume. If you must use perfume, use it lightly and try not to inhale it. Avoid using scented candles and air fresheners as well, as scented products can irritate your nasal passages and breathing airways. You can even opt for scent-free laundry detergent. Studies have shown that cities with high levels of air pollution have much higher asthma rates, especially among children. Smog, car exhaust and other air pollutants can all contribute to asthma.  Monitor your local air quality index and avoid exercising or spending too much time outside on bad days. Learn when air quality is best, such as mornings in the summer, and schedule outdoor activities for those times.  Filter the air in your home through your air conditioner, instead of opening windows. Avoid living by the highway or a busy intersection. If you can, move to a home that has fresh, dry air. Whether from tobacco, incense, fireworks or anything else, do your best to avoid inhaling smoke. Not only should you not smoke at all, but you should make an effort to avoid being in the...


Stay away from him. Resist the urge to get back together. Speak positively about him. Respect his decision. Keep her out of it.

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

It's easy to keep the fantasy of some kind of relationship alive with the idea of staying friends. You may be able to be friends in the long run, but it's best to focus on yourself for a while and allow your feelings to die down before trying to have any kind of friendship with your ex. Trying to stay in contact can make the breakup worse if you aren't really over him or if he still has residual feelings for you.  It may also be really hard to see him with the new girl. Protect yourself from that emotional pain by keeping your distance, at least for a little while. Avoid interacting or seeing him on social media and avoid texting or calling. You may also want to get rid of anything that reminds you of him such as photos or gifts. Breakups are painful but sometimes necessary. Trying to get back together will only extend the grieving process, and if he's with someone new, it'll likely just be you trying to repair the relationship, which puts you in a bad position where it's easy to continue getting hurt. If he tries to keep something going while talking to the new girl, avoid this messy situation. Show him and everyone around you that you have the maturity to maintain a clean break, even if he doesn't. Try to take the higher road and avoid gossiping about what he did. You may feel like you need to vent, but this can create problems if you have mutual friends. Framing situations positively is better for your own mental health than venting in a negative way.  Try to understand his position. He may be doing what he thinks is best for his life. If he wasn't interested in trying to salvage your relationship, then either way, it's the best case scenario long-term for you to have broken up. If someone asks about the breakup, you can say "It's been a difficult experience for me, but I wish him the best regardless." You may not like it, and you don't have to, but try to understand that the decision has been made and the best thing for you to do is move on, as painful as that can be. Even if you invested a lot of time...


Stay away from mosquito-infested areas. Do your research. Get vaccinated.

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

mosquitoes are found on every continent except Antarctica, If possible, avoid jungles, forests, and other tropical and sub-tropical zones, especially sub-Saharan/West Africa and South America. If you are planning to travel to a potentially dangerous area, consult organizations like the Center for Disease Control to investigate particular locations and evaluate your risk. You’ll find information about places where yellow fever is prevalent and places where yellow fever is resistant to drugs. If you plan to be in a dangerous area, talk to your doctor about getting the vaccine. The yellow fever vaccine is called the 17D vaccine; it’s a live, attenuated vaccine that causes the body to produce antibodies against yellow fever. It is generally safe and gives maximum immunity against yellow fever within 7-10 days of vaccination. Your immunity will last up to ten years.  Some people should not get the vaccine. People with weakened immune systems, people with allergies to eggs or to the vaccine itself, and children under nine months old should not be vaccinated. Pregnant women should not be vaccinated until there is a yellow fever outbreak. Extra care should be given when people older than 60 get the vaccine. Once you get the yellow fever vaccine, you will be issued an International Certificate of Vaccination (or “yellow card”). Side effects of the vaccine include headaches, muscle pain, fever, and chills, and, in a small number of people, severe and more dangerous problems, including allergic reactions, neurological diseases, and organ failure.


Stay away from others for the duration of your illness. Wash your hands. Clean shared surfaces and avoid sharing whenever possible.

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

Bacterial pharyngitis can be transmitted through droplets in the air or by touching surfaces that have also been touched by an infected person. Therefore, if you have bacterial pharyngitis, the best way to prevent others from catching it is to stay away from others as much as possible.  Take time off work if you are allowed sick days. Cancel social commitments with others to avoid spreading your illness. Washing your hands frequently (and thoroughly) will also help to prevent others from catching it. Wash for at least 30 seconds with soap and warm water. Another option is to carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with you for use throughout the day. Finally, to prevent transmission of your bacterial pharyngitis to others, refrain from sharing objects whenever possible. Also clean any shared surfaces, such as doorknobs, kitchen appliances, TV remotes, and phones, after use.


Stay away from people who won’t understand. Give yourself permission to grieve if you're upset. Talk to someone you trust about the feelings you’re having. Do fun activities to help you feel better.

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

While many people will be there to support you, some people may judge your decision or say hurtful things. These people won’t help your recovery, so don’t let them around you. Instead, spend time with people who are there to help you. If you think someone might have a bad reaction, don’t tell them about your abortion. You don’t need their opinion about your healthcare needs. While having an abortion may have been your best or only option, you might still feel a sense of sadness or loss.

Stay away from spray bottles. Make sure your cat has scratching posts. Give your cat room to play. Do not punish your cat. Play with your cat daily.

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

Many owners use a spray bottle to punish a cat when they get on furniture. However, spray bottles are unlikely to help much when training your cat. Your cat is unlikely to make the connection between the punishment and the behavior. A spray bottle also only succeeds in stressing your cat out. Stay away from spray bottles as a training tool. Cats need to scratch to keep their nails trim. Unwanted scratching and pawing is often the result of uncomfortably long claws or nails. Keep a scratching post in your home. This will give your cat an outlet to scratch and keep it off the furniture. Cats may take over areas like furniture if they don't have space of their own. Have a room in your home, or a corner in one of your rooms, where you keep your cat's toys, food, and bed. When you play with your cat, play in this area. If your cat feels it has its own space, it's less likely to invade yours. Think about what kind of toys your cat likes the most and then fill its play area with them. The more you tailor the space to your cat, the more likely your cat is to spend time in it. Punishing cats is rarely an effective means of keeping them off furniture. Yelling at your cat, or putting in its cage when it misbehaves, will only stress your cat out. Stick to positive reinforcement, like giving your cat a treat when they get down from furniture, over using punishment. If you don't reward your cat's good behavior, it's more likely to keep misbehaving. Cats sometimes act out as a form of boredom. Make time each day to play with your cat to keep it active and entertained. The less bored your cat is, the less likely it is to resort to climbing on furniture for attention.  Pick up some cat toys at your local pet store. Cats enjoy objects that are easy to bat around. They also tend to be attracted to noises. Pick up toys that do things like jingle, such as balls with bells in the them. You can tie a toy to a string a drag it off the floor. You can also throw items for your cat to chase.


Stay away from sugar, soda, and corn syrup. Exercise. Restrict animal protein to 6 ounces or less daily. Eat enough calcium but avoid supplements. Eat a “low-oxalate” diet. Avoid crash dieting. Be especially vigilant if you have a history of kidney stones.

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

Sugar disrupts the body's ability to absorb calcium and magnesium, making it a culprit in the formation of kidney stones. Fructose, found in table sugar and high fructose corn syrup, is connected to increased risk of kidney stones. If you want to give your body a healthier lifestyle, and avoid kidney stones while you're at it, try cutting down on the sugar you consume. Some citrus-flavored sodas, such as 7UP and Sprite, contain high levels of citric acid. While you should avoid high-sugar beverages, the occasional clear soda may be a good way to increase your citric acid intake. Exercise for 30 minutes every day. Moderate exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of kidney stones by up to 31%. Aim for at least 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity such as walking, jogging, or gardening. Animal protein, especially red meats, increases your risk of developing kidney stones, especially uric acid stones. Keep animal protein intake to 6 ounces or less — about the size of your palm or a pack of cards — per day to help reduce your risk of developing all types of kidney stones.  Red meats, organ meats, and shellfish are high in a substance called purine. Purine increases your body’s production of uric acid and can cause kidney stones. Eggs and fish also contain purines, although less than red meats and shellfish. Get protein from other sources, such as calcium-rich dairy or legumes. Legumes contain fiber and phytate, a compound that may help prevent kidney stones from forming. Be careful of soybeans, though, as they contain high levels of oxalate. The fact that many kidney stones are made of calcium may make reducing your calcium intake sound like a good idea. However, research shows that diets that are too low in calcium actually increase your risk of kidney stones. Eat a good variety of dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, to meet your daily calcium needs.  Children four to eight years old need 1,000 mg of calcium daily. Children 9-18 should get 1,300 mg of calcium daily. Adults 19 and...


Stay away from the house for one or two hours. Verify the squirrel is gone and clean the area. Seal off squirrel entrances. Repeat the process, if necessary.

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

You should take your pet(s) with you, if at all possible. This will prevent any accidental interaction between your pet(s) and the squirrel. As soon as the squirrel realizes that no one else is in the house, it should leave through the escape route you’ve left open. Some dogs have been bred to hunt woodland creatures and may work extra hard to get at the squirrel in your home. Leaving this kind of pet unsupervised could result in it escaping its pen/cage/room to hunt the squirrel. Once you’ve returned, thoroughly check the room in which the squirrel resided to be sure it is gone. Then you should check the surrounding rooms and the rest of your house, just in case the squirrel got around your barrier or found some other route to travel deeper into your house. Squirrels, like many rodents, tend to spread around their urine and feces. You should thoroughly clean the area the squirrel has inhabited with a strong cleaner, gloves, and a mask. To prevent more squirrels from making your house their home, you’ll want to close off any entrances the squirrels might use to get back inside. This will require some investigation on your part. In some cases, you may need to replace rotten wood caused by a leaky roof. In many cases, squirrels will chew through soft, rotten wood to gain access to your attic. Patching holes in your roof and eaves could stop your squirrel infestation from happening again. Some more stubborn squirrels may require you to use a combination of techniques, like playing a radio non-stop and introducing predator urine, before your home is inhospitable enough to drive it away. If after two or three attempts the squirrel remains, it may be time to call a pest control expert.

Set aside at least 15 minutes per day to practice yoga, do deep breathing exercises, or meditate. Drink plenty of water, at least eight glasses a day, more if you are exercising and sweating. Challenge yourself to keep learning all the time. You'll get mentally stronger and wiser the more knowledge you accrue. Don't let yourself get stuck in a rut, either mental or physical. Be curious, aware, and informed about the world.  Read books, watch good films, go to concerts, go to plays, watch ballets, and take in art in some form. Make your own art. Write, paint, make music, do sculpture, knit — anything that stimulates your creative side. Learn new skills. Branch out in the kitchen, do some DIY projects around the home, plant a garden, learn how to drive a manual car, learn how to fish, train to run a 5K. Talk to people.

Stay calm Read the instructions on the label if the poison is a household chemical. Ask the person to spit out any poison in their mouth. Clear the person’s airway if they vomit. Take off any contaminated clothing using gloves. Clean any contaminated skin with cool water. Rinse away poison in the eyes with cool or lukewarm water. Get the person to fresh air right away if they’ve inhaled poison. Lie down in the recovery position if you’ve been poisoned and feel sick or faint. Perform CPR

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

. If you know or suspect that you or someone else has been exposed to poison, you might feel scared or panicked. Remind yourself that the best thing you can do right now is call for help and let the medical professionals talk you through the situation. If you find yourself panicking, stop what you’re doing for a moment and take a few deep breaths if it is safe to do so. If you know or think that you or another person has been poisoned by a household chemical (e.g., a cleaning product or a pesticide), check the directions and warnings on the label. Most of these products are labeled with instructions in case of accidental poisoning. The instructions may differ depending on the type of exposure. For example, if the person swallowed the substance, they may need emergency medical care. If they spilled it on their hands, it may be enough to rinse their skin under cool water for several minutes. If you know or suspect that someone has swallowed poison or put it in their mouth, encourage them to spit out any remaining poison. If they are unconscious, try to wake them up and ask them to spit.  If you swallowed the poison, spit out as much of it as you can. Do not put your hands in the person’s mouth. Never induce vomiting unless a doctor or poison control specialist tells you to. Forcing someone who has been poisoned to throw up may do more harm than good. This is why it is necessary for them (or you) to go to an emergency room. If the person vomits, wrap your hand in a clean cloth. Gently sweep your fingers sideways across the inside of their mouth to clear their airway.  If the person vomits after eating a poisonous plant, save some of the vomit if you can. Medical personnel may be able to identify the plant by looking at fragments in the vomit. Keep the person on their side with their head turned to one side to prevent them from choking on vomit. If you’ve been poisoned and feel like you might vomit, lie down on your side so that you don’t choke on or inhale any of the vomit. If you or someone else has spilled...


Stay calm and avoid rising to their attempts to upset you. Listen Distract them by asking about a topic that interests them. Show empathy Refuse to feed their superior self-image. Use non-accusatory "I" language Research what they tell you since narcissists are prone to lying.

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

Narcissists often make comments that are meant to get a rise out of you, but don’t take the bait. Respond calmly to what a narcissist says to you, and if you find yourself getting upset, stop and take a deep breath or go for a walk to calm yourself before you engage with them. It’s perfectly fine to walk away from the person if they’re being abusive towards you. If the person is criticizing you, blaming you, calling you names, threatening you, or doing something else that is upsetting you, you have every right to walk away. to the person carefully and attentively when they talk. Narcissistic people like to be the center of attention, so they often talk a lot. Be prepared to be on the receiving end of most conversations and show them that you're actively listening to them. Some things you can do to show that you’re listening include:  Smiling and nodding while maintaining eye contact. Saying things like, “Yes,” “I see,” and “Mmhmm,” to encourage them to keep talking. Asking questions to clarify if something they say is unclear, such as “What did you mean when you said you had a bad day?” Narcissists love to talk about themselves and share what they know, so asking a narcissist about something that they find interesting is a good way to distract them from their anger. This may be especially useful if they’ve been arguing with you or verbally attacking you. For example, if the person knows a lot about cars, you might ask them a question about cars. Or, if they consider themselves knowledgeable about money, you could ask them for financial advice. for their feelings to soothe them. While narcissists are not usually capable of empathy for other people, showing a narcissist empathy can help to calm them down if they’re feeling upset.

Stay calm and cheerful. Know the signs of fear and of relaxation in your dog. Let your dog hear traffic noises at home. Expose your dog to cars at a distance. Add a command. Wait until your dog shows no sign of fear at each stage before moving closer. Walk your dog near traffic. Train your dog to walk a particular route.

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

If you tense up every time a car passes, afraid of your dog’s reaction, your dog will notice. Your anxiety will reinforce his own. Instead, use a cheerful tone of voice and smile as you deal with passing traffic.  Do not pet and soothe your anxious dog. Petting is a reward, so petting him when he is anxious will only reinforce the behavior. Do not scold or physically punish your dog for being afraid. Yelling at him will only intensify his fear.  Do not try to “cure” your dog by making him confront his fear. This will only increase his fear, not remove it. Your dog might bark or lunge at the end of the leash when a car passes, but this is only an extreme display of anxiety. To train him, you’ll need to know when he is even mildly anxious, so you can go slow, and when he is relaxed, so you can move on to the next step.  Common signs of fear are trembling, panting, whining, drooling, cowering, and tucking his tail.  Signs that your dog is relaxed include relaxed posture, normal breathing, tails and ears held normally (not tucked or lowered), wagging, and eating at a normal pace. Start by opening the windows when you are playing with your dog or feeding him, so that he can start to associate the noise of cars with pleasurable activities. Once or twice a day, take your dog to a place in a park or a part of your yard that is far enough away from the street that your dog shows no fearful reaction when a car passes.  Reward your dog with treats every time a car passes and praise him for staying calm. Do this for about a minute, then go inside or walk around the park for a couple of minutes before returning to the traffic for another minute. In all, expose your dog to traffic for a minute at a time, 5 or 6 times per training session. For the next session, increase the time your dog is exposed to traffic to 1.5 minutes. Continue gradually increasing the time from session to session. Giving your dog something to do can help to distract him from passing cars. As you gradually move closer to traffic, start giving a...


Stay calm and prepare for the visit to your doctor. Avoid taking pain medications before going to see your doctor. Do not eat, drink, or take any laxatives before seeing your doctor. Know that your doctor will feel around your stomach testing for pain. Be prepared for a rotation of the hip test. Expect a leg extension test. Be ready for a rectal exam.

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

Going to the doctor, especially in a stressful situation like this one, can be nerve-wracking so it is best to know what you are going to experience. The abdominal exams your doctor will perform are listed in the following steps. It is best to see a doctor in the emergency room. Appendicitis is a condition that should be treated promptly if you have it, so it is recommended to be seen in the hospital where tests can be performed quickly if needed. While you will be experiencing pain, that pain is one of the only ways doctors can diagnose appendicitis in pregnant women so masking it with medication could be detrimental. Most people see a physician in the emergency room when they are worried about appendicitis, so the wait shouldn't be too long. The reason refraining from eating and drinking is important is that an empty stomach is required for certain procedures done by doctors. Also, it is easier on your digestive tract and reduces the chance of your appendix bursting if you do in fact have appendicitis. There are a variety of tests doctors perform in order to determine the cause of abdominal pain to figure out whether or not it is appendicitis. These include pressing around your abdomen to elicit painful areas, as well as tapping and testing for "rebound tenderness" (pain after they release the pressure of their hand).  The tests may seem redundant and time-consuming, but know that these can be very helpful to your doctor in figuring out exactly what is going on. This test will look for the "Obturator sign," which is pain that occurs when your hip is rotated. Your doctor will hold on to your right knee and ankle and then bend your hip and knee while rotating your leg inwards and outwards. Pay attention to any pain you feel in your lower right quadrant of your abdomen - tell your doctor if you feel pain in that area because it could mean that there’s an irritation of the obturator muscle happening, which is a sign of appendicitis. Your doctor will ask you to lie on your side, and he or she will extend your...

Chances are you'll feel pretty nervous on the day that homecoming queen votes are announced. While you wait for that big halftime or assembly announcement, try to distract yourself by hanging out with friends, reading, or watching TV. Work to manage your expectations and keep perspective – if you don't win, it would be a bummer, but it won't be the end of the world. Homecoming is usually a formal event, but not quite as formal as prom. This means that shorter dresses or a jacket and tie are preferable to long dresses and tuxedos. Pick an outfit well in advance of the announcement, and try it on to make sure you feel comfortable and confident. Be sure to get familiar with your school's dress code and use the rules as guidelines for your outfit. If you become homecoming queen, it's important to accept the honor with poise that befits the title. Stand tall, project confidence with your body language, and enjoy your special moment. If you have a chance to give a speech, be sure to express gratitude for the honor and to acknowledge both your competitors and those who helped you along the way. If you end up losing the race, it doesn’t mean that your peers dislike you or that you’re a failure. No matter what happens, you’ll have friends and loved ones who appreciate you daily for the awesome person you are. You don’t need to win an artificial contest to confirm that you are valued and respected in your community. If anything, becoming Homecoming Queen would be a cherry on top of the sweet sundae of your high school experience.


Stay calm, and do not ever run. Keep your distance, stepping sideways away and keeping your eyes on the bear. Announce that you're human by speaking in a low, calm voice. Make yourself as big as possible with hands, clothes, and high ground. Give the bear an escape route, always. Understand the bear's motivations. If the bear seems to escalate and get aggressive, get aggressive in response.

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

Running signals to the bear that you are prey worth chasing, and they are incredibly fast animals. Screaming or yelling will spook the bear into believing it is threatened. As hard as it may seem, keeping cool, calm, and collected will always be your best bet. If you see a bear from a long distance (greater than 300 feet), leave the area. If you need to continue on, make a wide detour around the bear. If the bear has not seen you, do not disturb it: retreat calmly and quietly, and then make ample noise when you are well away to prevent future chance encounters. But if you're up close and the bear notices you, stay calm and keep your distance, shuffling sideways to avoid tripping and keeping your eyes up. It doesn't matter what you say, but say something as you retreat to the sides, keeping an eye on the bear. Your goal is to communicate to the bear that you are human (i.e. that you can defend yourself and are not frightened) while also letting it know that you are non-threatening, and that you are leaving its territory.  Never yell, scream, or make high-pitched noises! Pick one phrase or mantra and just repeat it calmly: "There is nothing to fear, I am not here to cause harm," or something similarly calm and simple. It's not the words that matter, of course, but the tone and the fact that you keep saying them. Again, you must do this calmly and slowly. If the bear sees you and is closer than 300 feet (91.4 m), or if the bear is approaching you, remain calm and try to look as large as possible. Stand your ground and try not to look frightened. Some things to do include:  Open and spread your jacket wide at your sides. Slowly raise and wave your arms, indicating that you are human and not prey. Continue talking in a low, calm voice. If you've cornered the animal, get out of the way quickly but calmly. Remember that most bears are posturing and don't actually want to fight, but if the only way out is through you, they're going to take their chances. Immediately provide a pathway allowing them to escape. A little...


Stay calm. Ask for advice. Make a plan. Be ready for bumps along the way.

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

Avoid getting angry with your parents. They have your best interest at heart, even if they are unhappy with your smoking. The important thing is for you to get their help to stop smoking.  Own up to your decisions. Remember that you made the initial choice to start smoking, even if it is now out of control. Your parents may point out – forcefully – that you made a bad choice. Instead of becoming defensive, admit that it was a poor decision, i.e. “Yes, it was a bad decision. I shouldn't have started in the first place.” Your mom and dad have a lot more life experience than you. Are they current or recovering smokers? Maybe they know what you're going through or can advise you on quitting. Don't be shy. Ask them.  Be clear that you want help. Say something like, “I know it's really unhealthy. That's why I'm asking if you can help me.” If you know that one of your parents smoked, ask them directly about the experience. Say, “Dad, I know that you quit smoking when I was little. How did you do it?” Make it clear that you are having trouble addressing the issue on your own and want their support. Consider surrendering your cigarettes as a goodwill gesture to your parents. Giving them up will signal that you're putting yourself in mom and dad's care. Make a plan of action with your parents so that you can get started with quitting. Take their advice, take their help, and do whatever it takes. They will want to pitch in and should make an effort to support you.  Pick a quitting day. Whether you are going cold turkey or need a quitting aid, set a clear day to begin. Talk to your doctor. With or without your parents, talk to a doctor about your habit. She will be able to advise you on how to quit, including the use of cessation products like nicotine patches, gum, or inhalers.  Ask for solidarity. The biggest role your parents can play in quitting is to support you, encourage you, and pick you up when you're down. You'll need them on your side. Quitting won't be easy. Stick to your plan and keep the lines of...


Stay calm. Avoid eye contact. Give verbal commands. Distract the dog.

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

Staying calm is essential in any encounter with an aggressive animal. Resist the urge to scream and continue to stand tall while asserting your presence. You can use a stern voice, but yelling loudly may further excite the dog. While you may think of eye contact as a good way to show you're engaging with someone, it means something else entirely to a dog. An aggressive dog will see eye contact as a challenge or threat to its dominance. This could cause the dog to attack you, even if it did not previously seem like it would. Don't make eye contact, but keep paying attention to what the dog is doing. You need to be able to react if the dog lunges towards you. If the dog recognizes basic verbal commands, it should respond to your orders. Even if the dog is excited, a strong verbal command should break the dog's attack. However, some dogs won't recognize commands at all. In this case, verbal commands will not be effective.  Use a firm, commanding voice to tell the dog to "sit," "lie down," or "go home." Be confident when you give verbal commands. Dogs can sense fear or uncertainty, so make sure you let the dog know who's in charge with the tone of your voice. Distracting an aggressive dog will give you time to sneak away. If nothing else, a distraction may help calm an excited dog down and break its desire to chase you. Any object can be used as a distraction if you catch the dog's attention with it.  If you have any dog treats, dog toys, or any type of food on your person, throw them on the ground in front of the dog. If you don't have any food or toys, try to find a stick to throw. This might distract the dog or make it transition into a more playful mood.


Stay calm. Don't react to the mistake. Pick a good story. Don't make a habit of lying.

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

Don't let your emotions become the story by blowing your top or breaking down in tears; if you overreact, you'll only end up embarrassing yourself and end up digging a deeper hole.  If you stay calm, chances are high that those around you will stay calm as well.  Even if you know what you did was wrong, don't reveal it by showing strong emotion. Try taking a few deep breaths before you say anything. Have you ever seen a performance, and known that a performer made a mistake, only by the way the performer reacted to it?  There is a chance that no one but you knows what went wrong, but if you react to the mistake then everyone will know.  Pretend instead that it was all part of the plan.  For example, if your parents accuse you of staying out past curfew, act like you didn't realize it had gotten so late. Keep a straight face, and act slightly surprised if they push the issue. A good explanation of why you were doing what you were doing determines whether it is believable or not.  In forming a good story, consider these factors:  Keep it simple. Don't make up something that sounds extraordinary. For example, if you were out past curfew, you could say you kept hitting red lights.  Make sure it is a story you can stick to.  Changing your story is one of the biggest signs that you were lying. Maybe a good story will help you cover your tracks the first time, but eventually you'll be seen as someone who isn't trustworthy. When you're caught doing something wrong, it's usually best to own up to it.


Stay calm. Don’t go home. Cross the street or turn. Stop frequently at unexpected places. Go to an area with a lot of people. Run or drive away quickly.

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

Breathe deeply and avoid panicking. Tell yourself that you need to think rationally to safely get out of your situation. If you must, count slowly to 10 in your head. Panicking may result in you making rash decisions that could get you hurt. Whatever you do, don’t go home if you suspect someone is following you. The person could use that opportunity to corner you while you’re trying to get into your home. In addition, they might come back later and try to break in. Ultimately, don’t go home until you’re completely sure that they’re no longer following you. Go to a public place instead of going home. Use the first safe opportunity to cross the street or turn. Doing this will make it harder for the person to follow you. Ultimately, you might get lucky and lose them around a building, in a crowd, or behind other cars. If you don’t get away, take another turn. Do this until you think you’ve lost them. If crossing streets and turning doesn’t lose the person, you might be able to lose the person by stopping several times at places the person wouldn’t expect you to stop. Avoid the route you’d normally take home and make your trip home as complicated as possible.  Stop to get a cup of coffee or a soft drink somewhere. Visit a friend who is working. Run an errand at a major retail store. By driving or walking in an area with a lot of people, you may be able to lose the person. In addition, the person may be less likely to hurt or rob you in front of other people.  Focus on streets with lots of pedestrian or car traffic. Consider walking into a food court, major retail store, or some sort of entertainment event. As a last resort, you may want to run or drive away quickly. By moving fast, you might succeed in losing them and getting away where you’ve previously failed. When planning your getaway:  Don’t box yourself in traffic. For example, at a stop light don’t pull all the way up so your bumper is close to the car in front of you. Leave yourself room to drive around the car in front of you. Avoid walking down any...


Stay calm. Find a light source if the lights are out. Press the call button. If there's no answer, try calling for help. Press the "door open" button. If you can't call for help, try to get the attention of the people outside the elevator. Wait it out.

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

As soon as you realize you're stranded, you may feel a natural urge to panic. However, you have to tell yourself to put mind over matter, and to stay as calm as possible. If you start panicking, your body will start to feel the effects, and you'll only be making it more difficult for yourself to think clearly, and therefore making it harder for you to find a way to escape.  Take a deep breath and relax your body. It is hard for your mind to be in panic when your body is relaxed.     If you're not alone in the elevator, then panicking is more likely to make the people around you panic. And having multiple people freaking out in an elevator is not the way to safety. Instead, do your best to be a calming presence to the people around you.    If the elevator is dark, you can create some light by using a key chain flash light or opening your cell phone or PDA. Try your best not to keep the device on for so long that battery power is drained. Creating light will help you see the buttons and get a better sense of your situation. If you're not reading this while stranded in an elevator, then check out your cell phone to see if it has a special "flashlight" feature. If so, this can come in handy -- as long as you make sure it doesn't drain your battery! It's also important to quickly get a sense of how many people are stuck in the elevator with you.    If it's dark, use the light source to find the call button. Then, press the call button to contact a technician to help you. This will alert maintenance personnel there is a problem with the elevator. This is the quickest and best way to get help -- much better and safer than trying to take the DIY approach. If there is no response to pressing the call button, check your cell phone for reception. If you have any reception, call your local emergency services number e.g. 911 for the United States, Canada, etc. 911 may unofficially work in other countries, but cannot be relied on where it isn't officially used. The EU has officially adopted 112 for emergencies, so that is...


Stay calm. Get as much information as you can. Evaluate what resources you have. Map out what needs to happen. Be ready to act. Communicate with people.

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

For problems revolving around stressful, complex situations like getting fired, losing your apartment, or having your car break down, the best place to start is by staying calm. Don't panic or let yourself feel like the whole world is ending. So far, you've managed to get past every other problem in your life and the sun keeps rising; we are 100% sure you can make it through this one too. When you're struggling to stay calm, a good technique is to focus on your breathing. Breathe in and out slowly until you feel more calm and ready to do what you need to do. The more you know about the situation you're in and the options you have available to you, the better able you will be to deal with whatever the problem is. Do a little Googling, talk to people who have dealt with problems like this before, and really think about what Plan C is instead of getting locked into Plans A and B. For example, let's say you've lost your job. Instead of panicking about what you're going to do now, go to your local unemployment office. They'll have counselors who will help you file for unemployment and help you find resources for getting a new job quickly (like a resume makeover). Everyone has resources available to them in times of crisis. Sometimes these resources come in the form of money or time. Sometimes they come in the form of friends or family who really know what they're talking about. Sometimes the resources you have available to you are harder to see however. Even your personal qualities (such as intelligence or determination) can be hugely helpful in getting you through this. For example, if you know you have strong interpersonal skills, then you know you can use those skills to help solve your problem. Just because there might not be an obvious way to use them right now doesn’t mean that the opportunity won’t arise. Once you've gotten as much information as you can and know what resources are available to you to make it happen, make your battle plan. There's a reason the military has generals: going in with a plan,...


Stay calm. Get the details. Trust your girlfriend. Check your own motives. Ignore the first incident. Step in when things escalate. Talk to your girlfriend about her level of discomfort.

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

Before you do anything else, calm down. Your temper may flare up the moment someone disrespects your girlfriend, but if you act purely on adrenaline and testosterone, there's a good chance you'll only make the situation worse than it needs to be.  Be aware of any internal or external factors that might be influencing your judgment, too. For instance, if you're at a bar when the incident occurs, ask yourself if you've had too much to drink and if the alcohol could be impairing your better judgment. Even when your anger is perfectly justified, it still pays off to remain as calm as possible. It'll be much easier to prevent the situation from becoming violent if at least one person involved—you—can remain even-tempered. Make sure that you're actually witnessing what you believe you're witnessing. Oftentimes, the truth of the situation will be immediately obvious. In some cases, however, you might be mistaken and there might not be any actual disrespect going on. This is especially important when you walk into the situation halfway through. For instance, a guy might be attempting to flirt with your girlfriend without knowing she's already taken, or the guy she's talking with so intimately might actually be a relative you've never met. If you make a move without knowing any of this, the move you end up making could be the wrong one. You need to trust your girlfriend in two separate but related matters: trust her to remain loyal to you, and trust her to take care of the minor incidents herself.  Even if your girlfriend is making small talk with an obviously flirtatious guy, it doesn't mean that she's going to dump you for him. She could be trying to let him down gently. Trust her to remain faithful to you unless you have some concrete reason to believe otherwise. On a similar note, if you do have concrete reason to doubt your girlfriend's fidelity, ask yourself if the relationship is really worth maintaining. If you have to fight to keep her, she might not be worth keeping.  Your girlfriend will probably be able to...


Stay calm. Identify the problem. Listen to your friend. Use “I” statements rather than “you” statements. Take responsibility for your role in the conflict. Try to find a solution that works for both of you. Seek professional help, when necessary.

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

Every long relationship involves conflict at some point. Staying calm will allow you to really hear the other person’s concerns. It will also make them more likely to listen to you, as well as help you avoid saying anything you’d regret. Sometimes the problem is what the fight starts out about, and sometimes it’s merely a symptom of a larger issue. It can be as simple as miscommunication, or as large as difference in world view. Figuring out what the problem is, though, will put you on the path to resolving it. This is especially important when dealing with conflict. A falling out can be what causes best friends to end their relationship. Listen with your friend’s best interest at heart, as well as your own. This will help you move toward resolution. Sometimes, simply saying, "I hear you" or "I understand" can be enough to make them feel heard. Other times, it's useful to ask questions that summarize their concerns like "So when you say that what I said hurt your feelings, you didn't know that I meant the best?" When you begin all statements in a conflict with “you,” such as “You did this” or “You were the one,” etc., you set a tone of blaming right from the start. Using “I” statements allows you to express your feelings in a conflict without immediately jumping to blame. For instance, you can say, “I felt that what you said hurt me deeply” instead of "You said that to hurt me." This is incredibly important in maintaining any relationship. If you begin to blame everything on your friend in a conflict, you will be distancing yourself from them. And they will feel like you don’t have their best interest at heart. If you know what you did helped lead to the problem, admit it. When taking responsibility, it's important not to give a half-hearted apology. Just as with politicians who never admit wrong, it's easy to see through an apology. Instead of saying, "I'm sorry that you were offended by what was said," say, "I'm sorry that I hurt you." It's harder than copping out of an apology, but ultimately it will help...


Stay calm. Make sure they are in a comfortable, safe place. Let them cry, rant, talk as long as they need to. Pay attention to your friend’s body language.

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

Your friend might be very upset, but you can’t effectively help if you become hysterical or panicked yourself.  Take a deep breath (or two). Remind yourself that you can be here for your friend. Find somewhere that they are able to let out all their pain, frustration, confusion, etc.   Find somewhere that has no or few people so that your friend doesn’t have to worry about anyone unwanted seeing them upset and so you don’t disturb anyone. This may mean going to another room, outside, etc. If needed, find somewhere safe where your friend can release their feelings without getting hurt or damaging anything.  You may need to go to a room that doesn’t have a lot furniture or an open space outside. If you are on the phone with your friend, ask them are they somewhere that they feel safe and comfortable. If not, and if possible, go pick them up and take them somewhere else. As long as they are not hurting themselves or damaging property, allow them to work out what they are feeling. Your friend is relying on you to be there for them in their time of need.  If necessary, give them space to safely release any physical tension they may be feeling. Try not to tell them to stop crying, or yelling, etc. unless it seems that they are getting more upset. If you are on the phone with them, just listen and wait while they release their emotions. Occasionally, say things like, “I’m here for you” so that they will know you are still on the line. Sometimes people will say they are okay, but their body language tells a different story. Certain body signs can be indicators of your friend’s distress.  Body language can tell you that you may need to help them calm down before they can tell you what happened.  Sometimes body language is obvious. For example, are they crying? Are they sweating or shaking? Is your friend punching the air or pacing the room? Sometimes body language can be more subtle. Is their body tense or rigid? Hands clinched? Is their jaw tightened? Are their eyes red or puffy as if they were recently crying?


Stay calm. Say no firmly. Assert yourself and be heard. Practice self-care.

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

A manipulator may try to get a rise out of you or have you respond emotionally instead of rationally. When speaking with a manipulator, stay calm and in control. Don’t get swept up by the moment or taken advantage of because you are kind. Take some deep breaths to help you feel calm in your thinking and in your body.  For example, if you feel rushed in responding to the person, remember that you don’t have to answer right away. Take some moments to think it over so you don’t make a decision quickly, even if they want you to. You always have the option to step away from the situation and delay decisions. You can also try grounding techniques to help you stay rational while you're feeling emotional. For example, choose a color and find it in the room, or concentrate on what you're feeling in your body, such as tension in your leg muscles. You have the right to say no and not feel guilty. You also have the right to put your own priorities first. Stand your ground when you say no. Make sure the person knows that once you say no, you mean and it there’s no budging you.  For example, say, “I’m not available to you tonight” or, “I’m not willing to respond to that.” If they push you, say, “I’ve already told you my decision and I will not change it. Please stop asking.” Make sure you get a say in what happens and that you make your voice heard. If you need to say something, don’t let them interrupt you or talk over you. Use “I” statements to communicate how you feel and what you’re thinking. You should feel like you have the option to say no or share your opinion and still be respected for your decision. For example, if they are trying to get you to agree with them, say, “I disagree” or “I’d like you to stop asking me now.” Dealing with a manipulator can be emotionally exhausting, so make sure you’re taking care of yourself. If you’re feeling stressed out after an interaction or you feel drained from your exchanges, take some time to give to yourself. Practice deep breathing to bring a sense of calm to your mind and...


Stay calm. Size up your attacker. Ask them what they want. Yell for help. Run away if possible.

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

If an attacker approaches you, you need to stay calm. Any sudden moves or actions may startle them and escalate the violence. Take deep breaths as you size each other up to stay relaxed and focused. There are different types of attackers and they are all motivated for many different reasons. The person may be a mugger or a criminal looking for something “fun” to do by harassing you. They could be mentally unstable or under the influence or drugs or alcohol. You may have caught them in the act of some other crime, and now they feel the need to “get rid of you”. Either way, try to figure out what kind of person you’re dealing with. Engaging with the person and talking to them may help. Ask them why they are attacking you, and if there is anything that you can do to prevent the attack.  If they are a mugger, they will ask for your valuables. This will be easy enough to deal with: all you have to do is give up your things. While it may be hard to part with some of your valuables, it will be worth your life. Phones and jewelry can be replaced, but your life and health cannot. If the person is looking to pick a fight, let them know that you have no interest in violence. If they are especially menacing or threatening, talking may not be an option, but try it anyway. If the person seems mentally unstable or under the influence of a substance, they will be far too unpredictable for you to deal with. These are often the most dangerous kind of attackers because it is very hard to judge what they are going to do next. Try talking to them in a calm, soothing voice while backing away. If you're in a public place where others may be able to help you, yell for help. Often, people on a city street or a parking lot may not realize that you're in trouble unless you make it very obvious. Yell: "Stop!" or "Someone help me!" Use your voice to make it clear that you're in trouble and someone may come to your aid. If you're in a more remote location, like a hiking trail or an empty field, try yelling anyway. While you might not be...


Stay calm. Speak up! Be friendly. Listen to them. Don't scare them or act too weird.

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

When you talk with them, don't get super excited or start acting weird. Just keep calm. They're a normal person just like you. Act natural and they'll find it much easier to interact with you. Greet them every now and then, at first warmly, then a bit more flirtatiously. Say hi in the halls or talk to them a bit. Smile at your crush and make eye contact, but don't be creepy about it. For example, if you do not know your crush very well, get to know him/her slowly (Asking them for the time, talking about a book they are reading, etc.). If they are a friend, start flirting slightly. When conversing with your crush, make sure that you spend at least as much time listening as you do talking. Don't send them a bunch of notes or hang around after school and wait for them. Don't get their phone number from other people or do any kind of stalking. This will make them not want to talk with you or spend any time with you. Think about how your actions will really look to them, especially if they don't share your feelings.


Stay calm. Start a conversation. Ask what’s going on. Invite them to share. Explain how you feel about being ignored.

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

Your first reaction may be frustration, anger, or upset. While it’s valid to feel this way, responding with aggression will likely make matters worse. Above all, don’t give the silent treatment back. Nothing will become resolved if you both further your contempt for each other!  Staying calm means that you stay in control. If you notice yourself becoming agitated or angry, focus on your breath. Take long, deep breaths until you feel your body and mind settling down. Take the initiative to talk things over. This means that you will be the mature person and approach them to confront the problem. Choose a time when both of your are available and don't have to rush off to anything, then invite them to talk. Say, “Do you have some time? I’d like to talk and gain some understanding.”  The person may not be ready to talk yet. If they don’t seem ready, say, “I can see you’re not ready to talk about this. Let’s revisit this in three days and talk then.” Prepare for the conversation ahead of time and plan to meet. For example, say, “I want to talk to you about some problems. Are you available to talk on Tuesday?” It’s not up to you to mind read or guess what’s going on with the other person. It is their responsibility to express their thoughts and feelings. If you’re not sure what’s going on, ask. Say, “I’ve noticed you’re distant. What’s going on?”  For example, say, “I’m curious as to what’s contributing to your silence. Can you share with me what’s going on?” If they refuse to engage, say, “We can’t move forward if you’re not willing to engage. I need to know what’s going on and I need your cooperation.” If they remain firm, say that you will revisit the issue later. Give them space to share what they’re thinking and feeling. They may or may not talk, but give them the option to describe what’s going on and really listen. Don't assume to know everything Instead, ask lots of open-ended questions to try to elicit some clarity from the person.  You can say, “I’d like to hear what you’re upset about, and I’m willing to...


Stay calm. Think about your answers. Don't listen to what others say after the exam or test. Make sure to review your test results patiently.

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

Try to relax and take a couple of deep breaths, if necessary. Make sure it is the right answer. If you are not sure of an answer, skip it and come back to it. Chances are it might be addressed in a different question, so keep your eyes open for more clues on the same topic as you complete the rest of the test. If you think what you have written is right, do not stress if others wrote something else. Get on with your next sets of revisions, knowing that you did your best. Only your actual test results will confirm how well you have done. This will help you to see what you got right, and where you were incorrect, to help you to improve. Do this when in a calm state so silly mistakes can be fixed. Also, try and always be motivated as it will help you do better.


Stay clean. Keep your hair in good condition. Take good care of your skin. Trim your nails and cut them. Deal with dandruff. Get a haircut that matches your facial structure. Scrub your face with soap and water when you're done with wearing your makeup, lotions or other products. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss every day. Choose your clothes to fit your body type. Toss away any of the above suggestions that simply don't work for you.

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

Take a bath or a shower at least once a day. Use scented soap or gel that you enjoy. Choose a style that works for you and makes you feel confident and happy. If you don't have good hair or lack hair at all, seek other ways to shine, such as wearing beautiful scarves or getting a style that reduces the amount of care your hair needs.  Use shampoo and conditioner each time you wash your hair. Brush your hair every day. This helps to maintain its healthy shine and appearance. Try to avoid applying heat to your hair. Whether you're curling or straightening it, it's best to let your locks lie naturally. Put lotions on to moisturize your skin and your face. Try the get the dirt out of them each day. That way, they will look as clean as glass. It's natural. Nearly everyone has it, although it's more noticeable in darker hair. Use a dandruff shampoo and a fine-toothed comb to rid your dandruff, and be sure to brush your hair regularly. Don't get a buzz-cut if you have a soft face. You want something that matches your personality and also matches your bone structure. Go to a salon and they'll have professionals helping you. Even if you don't wear makeup, cleaning your face regularly is important for removing grime and feeling fresh. Use mouthwash to keep your breath always fresh. This means trying on clothes for fit, not for the label's sizing. If this means you wear a mixture of small, medium and large, so be it! Every body is different and what matters ultimately is that it looks good, not that it is all the same manufacturer's size. Also choose colors that look good on you, ones that match your eye color, hair color and skin tone. Your body is known best by you and what it needs can only be determined by you. What you do need to do is pay attention and heed those needs, which change over time.


Stay confident and composed during the match. Find what works and stick with it. Dictate the speed of play yourself. Create a ritual that will keep you composed. Observe your opponent and look for their emotional cues. Be aware of where your opponent is most comfortable. Win each match to move on in the tournament. Stay hydrated and calm in between matches.

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

With your practice and preparation for the match behind you, let your experience in practice give you confidence and strength during the competition. If things don’t go your way, staying composed and level-headed will limit damage and allow you to center yourself. A good way to stay composed is to take a few deep breaths while remembering your training. This will slow down your heart rate and give you a boost of confidence. Stay focused on the way your opponent is reacting to what you’re doing and, if something is working, keep doing it. Exploit what has worked in the match already and stay confident in your strategy.  Pay close attention to what part of the court your opponent feels most comfortable in, and try taking them out of their comfort zone as often as possible. Use your best serve patterns at important points in the game, like on game points, to have confidence during integral moments in the match. Notice whether your opponent prefers playing at a hard, aggressive pace, or if they prefer a slower game. Determine the pacing of the game by accelerating the match speed or slowing it down when you can, both during play and in between sets. Determining the speed will throw your opponent off and make them uncomfortable, giving you a significant advantage. Implement a ritual in between shots that is comfortable and natural. This ritual will help you find a rhythm and will keep you in a state of flow throughout the match. Once you find your ritual, whether it be verbal or physical, do not stray from it in between play.  Your ritual could consist of a verbal que or a physical movement, both working to keep you composed and in a clear head space. If you need inspiration, observe some professional tennis players and see what they use as rituals. Some may spin their racquet in a specific way between every point, or bounce the ball a specific number of times before each serve. During the match, look for signs of your opponent being frustrated or upset. These cues could take the form of a deep sigh, shaking of...

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

Sit up straight!”  If you find yourself becoming desensitized to the presence of this little reminder, you could also enter alarms on your phone that go off at twenty or thirty-minute intervals with a message to sit up straight at your computer.  Finally, you could enlist help of a friend or colleague to send you random texts or instant messages throughout the day reading, “Sit up straight!” Taking breaks regularly at set intervals and stretching periodically will help you overcome bad posture.

Stay consistent with activity. Include a warm-up and cool-down with exercise. Push through light to mild aches and pains. Do strength training.

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

If your joints are tight, exercising may be something that can be hard to get started with.  However, the more you exercise and the more consistent you are, the looser your joints will be.  Studies have shown that those who exercised at least 2 times per week had a significant decline in pain and stiffness in their joints.  An occasional exercise session will loosen your joints and relieve stiffness.  However, if you don't keep up with this routine, your joints will regress back to being stiff. To avoid this, exercise consistently and regularly. This means you'll need to exercise at least 3-4 times per week or more often.  You'll notice that the more consistent you are, the less pain and stiffness you'll feel with time. If you want to loosen your joints with exercise, it's important to put in some extra time before and after a workout to do just that.  Exercise will loosen your joints.  However, you need to give your body time to loosen up through a warm-up.  Spend about 5-10 minutes getting your body warmed up. A warm-up will help increase blood flow to your joints and muscles.

You could walk on the treadmill, cycle slowly or use the elliptical without resistance. Keep joints from getting stiff after your exercise routine by stretching and doing range of motions exercises as a cool down. If you have arthritis or another degenerative joint condition, it's likely that you have the occasional ache or pain in your joints.

However, if you continue with movement, stretching or range of motion exercises, the pain should subside.  Continued movement helps lubricate your joint which can help it loosen it up and...


Stay cool and collected. Try to understand where they're coming from. Don't take it so personally. Change the conversation. Figure out if you have a role in the problem. Use humor to deflect negativity.

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

When someone is being critical, whiny or just plain ornery, it can be hard not to snap or lose your temper entirely. You might feel that the person deserves to be taken down a notch or two. But negativity begets more negativity, and if you stoop to the difficult person's level, you'll just be giving them more fuel and making the situation worse. If you can keep your cool and resist the urge to snap right back or get defensive, the tension is likely to go away more quickly.  Try practicing the adage "think before you speak." Take just an extra 10 seconds to decide what you're going to say instead of reactively blurting something out. This will help to keep you from saying something you might regret. Try not to let your emotions get the best of you. You might feel angry or hurt by the difficult person's words, but yelling or stomping away likely won't help the situation. Hard as it might be, try to see things from the other person's perspective. When someone has a difficult personality, it's often rooted in bad experiences that caused them to have a warped point of view. Put yourself in the person's shoes and think about what it would like to be them. Having empathy might help you better understand why the person acts the way they do and react with understanding instead of defensiveness. Sometimes putting on a smile and treating the person with kindness is the best way to deal with bad behavior.  For example, maybe you have a friend who's incessantly critical of others. People like this are usually deeply self critical, too. Knowing this might help you realize that the best way to deflect your friend's difficult behavior is to give her a cheerful compliment, or help her see the best in herself and others. Research shows that people who bully others are often victims of bullying. A person who is cruel and demeaning has probably been on the receiving end of that at some point in life. If you can see through the meanness and realize the person is in pain, that might help you find positive ways to deal with the...

Having them prioritized like this will help you with your homework time management. You may find that you feel a sense of accomplishment when you check off finished tasks. This can help motivate you to continue working. Seek out friends in your English class and set up a study or reading group. If your teacher allows it, share your essays with your classmates ahead of time and ask for comments/feedback from them. Just make sure that you don't copy their comments or plagiarize their work when you edit your paper afterwards. Almost every high school English class will require you to write essays. The requirements for these assignments will vary by teacher, so you will want to ask your teacher specifically what they are looking for. How many pages do they want your essay to be? Do they want citations at the end? Do you get to pick your topic or will a topic be assigned to you? Which of the three standard types of essays (expository/argumentative, narrative, or descriptive) are you writing?  For an expository or argumentative essay assignment you will be asked to investigate a...
