Take your measurements and decide which size sweater to make. Buy 4 to 6 skeins of yarn depending on the sweater size. Make a chain stitch (ch) on a size L (8.0 mm) crochet hook. Crochet ch stitches to make a foundation chain.

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

Wrap a measuring tape around your bust and make a note of the size. Then, measure how long you'd like the sweater to be. Pick a sweater size that closely matches your measurements:  Small (S): 32 in (81 cm) bust and 23 in (58 cm) length Medium (M): 36 in (91 cm) bust and 25 in (64 cm) length Large (L): 40 in (100 cm) bust and 27 in (69 cm) length Extra-large (XL): 44 in (110 cm) bust and 23 in (58 cm) length Choose worsted weight yarn in any color you like. Each skein should weigh 5 oz (142 g) and be 251 yd (230 m) long. Pick yarn that's comfortable and made of acrylic, cotton, wool, or a blend. Depending on the size you're making, get out:  S: 4 skeins M: 4 skeins L: 5 skeins XL: 6 skeins Tie a slip knot and slide it onto the hook. Then, wrap your yarn around the hook and pull the yarn through the knot. This will make 1 ch. To make another ch stitch, insert your hook into the first ch you made and wrap the yarn around it. Pull it through the loop to make a ch stitch. To create your foundation chain, make a total of:  S: 55 chains M: 61 chains L: 69 chains XL: 75 chains


Take your measurements using a measuring tape. Buy some white fabric. Fold the fabric in half, twice. Lay down on top of the fabric and have someone trace around you. Cut the dress out and sew it together. Cut a neck hole. Make the hood. Sew the hood onto the dress. Make the collar. Sew the collar onto the dress.

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

This will help you determine how long to make the dress and sleeves. It will also help you determine how much fabric to buy. Here are the areas you should measure:  Shoulder to floor. This is your "height" measurement. Wrist to center of chest. This is your "arm" measurement. Nape to waist. This is your "back" measurement. It needs to be twice your height measurement, and twice your arm measurement. The best fabric to use is polyester with a knit-like weave. Cotton is too light and will not drape properly. Put the fabric down on the floor so that it looks like a vertical rectangle. Fold it in half horizontally so that you end up with a square. Then, with the folded part on top, fold the fabric in half vertically. You should end up with a rectangle shape, two folded parts: one on the top, and one to the side. Align the top of your arm with the top, horizontal fold. Align the center of your back with the side, vertical fold. Trace around your side and underarm. You should end up with something that looks like a 7. You want to trace several inches away from your body so that the dress is loose-fitting. Here are some other things to keep in mind:  The dress tapers outward towards the bottom. The sleeves taper outward towards the wrists. Hem the sleeves and the bottom of the dress by 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) first. Then, unfold the dress so you end up with a T shape. Make sure that folded part of the hem is on the outside. Sew along the cut edges. Use a 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) seam allowance. Tie the ends of the threads into tight knots and snip off any excess. When you are done, flip the dress right-side-out.  The dress has slits up the sides. Sew the sides down just a little bit past your knees. Press the raw edges in by 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) and topstitch them down.  Press the hems flat with an iron for a nice, crisp edge. The neck hole needs to be just a little bit smaller than the circumference of your neck. It will become larger as you add the seam allowance. Make the front part a little bit lower than the back part....


Take your measurements. Cut out and label the pattern pieces.

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

In order to create accurate patterns that fit you well, you'll need to use a soft measuring tape and write down the following measurements:   Bust for women's clothing: Wrap the tape around the widest part of your bust.  Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist. Height for dresses: Stand straight against a wall and have someone measure from the top of your head to the base of your feet. Neck for men's shirts: Wrap the tape around the neck where the collar of the shirt will sit.  Hips: Wrap the tape around the widest part of your hips. Back length and width: Measure from the neck to the waist to find the length and measure across the widest part of your back to find the width. Chest for men or women's clothing: Measure across the widest part of your chest above your bust. Sleeve length: Hold the tape from the shoulder down the arm as long as you want the sleeve to be. Shoulder length: Measure from the neck to the edge of the shoulder. Upper arm width: Wrap your measuring tape around the thickest part of your arm near the armpit. Lay another sheet of pattern paper under your traced pattern. Pin the papers together and use scissors to cut through both layers along the seam allowance line. The bottom layer will become the back pattern piece. Take care not to cut the curved neckline so you can adjust the front and back pieces as you like.   For example, you might want to cut the front neckline low while leaving the back piece's neckline high. Label each pattern piece you make so it's easy to keep track of them.


Take your parents to the piercing facility. Create a contract or an agreement. Consistently remind them this is important to you. Invite them to come get a piercing with you. Save up money to purchase the piercing. Go above and beyond with your daily chores.

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

A little extra push is sometimes needed to convince parents you are ready.  Show them where the facility is.  Take them inside, and introduce the person whom would be piercing you.  Demonstrate to them how clean the place is.  Show them pictures inside of the facility of people's past piercings.  You can even let your parents talk to some of the customers there to get their comments about the facility and it's level of professionalism. Your parents might be okay with you getting a piercing if you can agree to some stipulations.  This might involve boosting your grades in school, doing more chores around the house, or treating your siblings better.  Together, write down on paper exactly the terms of the contract, and when you have to accomplish the goals by.  If you meet the goals, you should be guaranteed a piercing. Sometimes one talk is not enough.  Some parents are stubborn, while others are simply bad at listening to their children.  However, don't let this get you down.  Always remind them throughout the following days and weeks that a piercing is still important to you.  Write them notes, perhaps better explaining your arguments.  You can even schedule more serious talks in the future, and engage in further open dialogue with your parents. Don't: bring up piercings when your parents are in a bad mood.Do: show them new information, such as blogs written by parents in the same situation. Instead of having them wonder about the "dangers" of getting a piercing, bring them along with you.  They will feel more comfortable standing by your side as you are getting a piercing.  They might even want to get a piercing as well, thereby creating a family bonding moment. A sign of maturity is that you are taking responsibility for at least some of your finances.  Many parents live paycheck to paycheck, and don't have the extra money to shell out for a piercing.  Apply for a job, and save up your own money.  Make sure you have enough to cover the piercing and the piece of jewelry you want.  Tell your parents that you...


Take your pet to the vet regularly. Feed it a balanced diet to help it maintain a healthy weight. Make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise every day. Protect it from extreme temperatures and other hazards. Keep your pet clean and well-groomed.

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

Annual check-ups are recommended for most pets. If your pet is older or has a long-term illness, it’ll need to see the vet more often. If you have a cat or a dog, be sure it receives all vaccinations required by your local laws. You should also regularly give your cat or dog medication to prevent fleas and ticks. Obesity dramatically increases your pet’s risk of injury and illness, so keep its diet in check. Buy commercial pet food labeled for your animal's age and species, measure the amount of food you offer, and give your pal treats in moderation. Check the pet food label or talk to the vet about the right amount of food to give your pet each day. Exercise can also help keep your pet’s weight in check, so play with it and provide enriching toys to keep it active. If you have a dog, be sure to take it on daily brisk walks. The right amount of exercise depends on your pet's age and species. For instance, a lap dog needs less exercise than a working breed, and a puppy or senior dog can't run around as much as a healthy adult dog. If your cat or dog spends a lot of time outside, make sure it has access to a shelter with a roof. Avoid keeping your pet outside in hot weather or if the temperature is below freezing.  If you keep your pet in a cage or tank, make sure the conditions meet its specific needs. For instance, if you own a reptile, maintain the temperature and humidity levels recommended for its species. Brush your furry friend at least a few times a week; pets with long coats need daily brushing. If you have a dog, wash it every 2 to 4 weeks or if it gets dirty. Cats are meticulous about grooming, so they generally don’t need baths.  Grooming requirements vary by species, so check with the vet if you’re not sure about your pet’s needs. If you keep your pet in a cage or tank, be sure to clean its habitat regularly.


Take your phone out of its case to make sure you remove all the germs. Wipe down your case with a disinfecting wipe at least once a week. Rub the case with isopropyl alcohol to kill germs if you don’t have wipes. Put your phone back in the case once it's dry. Avoid using harsh cleaning products on your case.

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

Disinfecting only the outside of your phone case is ineffective as bacteria can linger between your phone and its case. Always remove your phone to sanitize the case thoroughly. Be sure to target germs on both the inside and outside of the silicone case for the best results. Rub a disinfecting wipe all over the inner and outer surface of the case. Let the case sit for several minutes to dry. When you are sure that it is dry, put your phone back in. This is also a good way to disinfect your phone case quickly if in comes in contact with germs. Apply rubbing alcohol to a cotton swab or cotton ball. Swipe the alcohol-soaked cotton over both the inner and outer surfaces of your phone case. This will kill bacteria lingering on the case.  The rubbing alcohol should dissipate within seconds of applying it. Make sure there is no lingering moisture in the case, as this could damage your phone. Wait a few extra minutes to ensure the case is totally dry before putting it back on your phone. Strong, concentrated cleaning products can cause damage to silicone items. Refrain from using any harsh cleaning chemicals on your phone case. These may include:  Household cleaners Window cleaners Cleaners with ammonia Cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide Aerosol sprays Solvents


Take your pregnant cat to the vet. Prepare a safe quiet place for the birth. Ensure you have the right supplies. Monitor the mother closely.

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

As soon as you know, or suspect, that your cat might be pregnant, you should take her to the vets to get her checked over. The vet will examiner her, check on how her pregnancy is advancing, and give you guidance about how to care for her during the pregnancy. If your cat has any pre-existing health condition, or is overweight, it is especially important to take her to the vet.  You will need to increase the amount of food you provide for her as the pregnancy progresses. Your vet can advise you on how to go about this in detail, but switching to kitten food in the third trimester is generally advised. The vet will be able to give you an estimate of the number of kittens your cat is expecting. It is possible that the vet will determine that the pregnancy could endanger your cat, and may decide that spaying her is the safest thing to do. It's essential that you provide a safe, warm and quiet area for her to give birth. You should have this birthing nest set up and ready to go at least a week before she is due. Introduce her to the nest early and make sure she knows about it. If she doesn't have a regular bed or box she likes to sleep in, just get a good sized cardboard box and put some warm blankets in it to make it comfortable.  Make sure you only use blankets you don't mind getting soiled. Don't use blankets that have a strong smell.  Place a litter tray near to be box, but not right next to it. Keep the box a couple of feet away. Ensure there is fresh water and food next to the box, but keep the bowls outside of the box. Once you have prepared the nest and the mother, you need to prepare yourself. Gather together all the supplies you might need if there are any problems with the birth. This way you can act quickly and provide the best possible care. Make sure you have plenty of clean and dry towels, which you might need to clean off the kittens. Get some cat-milk powder, and a kitten bottle, in case there is a problem with nursing.  Have a cat box ready to go in case you need to take her to vets in a hurry....


Take your prenatal vitamins. Eat for energy. Eat several small meals. Increase your water intake. Don't rely on caffeine for energy.

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

Pregnant women have many increased nutritional needs, and if you don't get the proper nutrition, you are more likely to feel fatigued. Prenatal vitamins are specially formulated to help supply the additional nutritional needs for pregnancy. Remember to take them every day.  Be sure to use a prenatal that contains vitamin B12, which helps fight fatigue.  Also be sure that your vitamin contains at least 27 grams of elemental iron. Pregnancy-induced anemia can cause extreme fatigue for some women, and if your doctor tests your blood and determines that you have this condition, you may need to increase your iron up to 60 grams a day.  If you have trouble remembering to take your prenatal vitamins, set them on your dining room table or wherever you eat dinner every day. You can also try setting a timed reminder on your phone to sound an alarm every day when you need to take your vitamin. Pregnant or not, the body gets its energy from food. A healthy diet can make the difference between chronic fatigue and energy. You need three major macronutrients for energy: protein, carbohydrates, and fat.  Protein provides much of the energy your body needs to do the hard work of growing a human. When pregnant, you need about 70 grams of protein every day-- considerably more than the 45 grams recommended for non-pregnant women.  Consider healthy food sources such as beans, dairy, tofu, chicken, and fish.  Carbohydrates often get a bad reputation, but in fact they are one of the body's main sources of energy and vital to your health and ability to fight off fatigue. About half of your daily calories should be from carbohydrates, but remember to choose healthy sources like unrefined grains.  Fats provide the most concentrated form of energy, and also help you to absorb some vital vitamins. While pregnant, you need to ensure that about a quarter of your daily calories come from fat. Avoid low-fat and reduced-calorie food options, which don't provide as many energy-filled calories to fuel the body. Eat healthy, whole foods with...


Take your prescribed medications. Discuss cardioversion with your doctor. Get a catheter ablation. Consider getting a pacemaker.

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

If you are at risk of arrhythmia, there are medications that may be prescribed by your physician to control your heart rate. These are not over-the-counter drugs and are only available on prescription.  Anti-arrhythmic drugs: Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, amiodarone and procainamide are some of the drugs that target Beta receptors and certain ionic channels located in the heart to normalize the heart rate as well as control blood pressure. Cardioversion is a procedure in which a cardiologist uses a machine to give the heart an electrical shock to help it conduct electricity within your heart and help restore a normal rhythm. This is done by placing patches or paddles on your chest and releasing the electric current into your chest. This can be used in non-emergency conditions to help correct arrhythmias, especially in the case of blocked pacemakers. A doctor can identify the specific area of the heart where  arrhythmias occur the most. With this procedure, your doctor threads catheters through your blood vessels to your heart. The catheters then emit extreme heat, extreme cold, or radio wave frequency to block the area of the heart that is causing the abnormal rhythm. Doctors may implant a pacemaker, which is a tiny device that is implanted in your body that facilitates electrical impulses to the damaged node in the heart to help it pump more slowly. Nodes are the source of the electrical impulses that help the heart to pump blood.  If the pacemaker feels an irregular heart rhythm, it emits an electrical impulse that stimulates your heart to beat correctly. Also ask about implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). ICDs are very similar to a pacemaker except they help the ventricles, or lower portions, of you heart. They also emit electrical pulses to keep your heart at a correct rhythm when the normal rhythm falters.


Take your puppy for walks. Play hide and seek with your puppy. Play fetch with your puppy. Allow your puppy to play in the water. Play tug of war with your puppy. Teach your puppy tricks. Create physical obstacles for your puppy to navigate. Allow your puppy to rest.

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

Playing with your puppy is a great way to show her you love her. Keeping her active through games will keep her physically and mentally healthy as she grows into an adult. A walk may not seem like a game at first, but you can turn it into one by letting your puppy explore her environment during the walk.  Be sure your puppy has been fully vaccinated before you take her for a walk in public places or allow her to interact with other dogs. Let your puppy occasionally stop and smell flowers during your walk.  Introduce your puppy to new people and dogs during the walk. Carry some treats with you — the person to whom you introduce your puppy can give your puppy treats to help establish a friendly relationship with her.  Encourage your puppy to walk up on the curb. She can have fun balancing on the curb versus walking in the street or on the sidewalk. Practicing basic commands during your walk, such as "sit" and "stay," can help reinforce her training. Your puppy will love playing hide and seek. One way to play this is to hide yourself. Have a friend stand with your puppy as you hide, then call your puppy’s name every few seconds until he finds you. Reward your puppy with treats and verbal praise when he finds you.  If you have been teaching your puppy to come when called, hiding yourself is a good way to practice this command.  You can also hide his favorite toys. Be aware that your puppy may become frustrated if he is not able to find his toy, which may cause him not to like the game.  Hide the toy in easy-to-find places (behind the couch, under a chair) until your puppy becomes better at using his nose to find items. Playing fetch with your puppy is a good way to exercise her, and teaches her how to focus on you and follow your instructions. A small toy or a soft doll are good fetching toys, since your puppy would be able to easily grab and retrieve them.  Do not play fetch with sticks. Sticks could injure your puppy’s mouth, or cause digestive problems if she swallows pieces of the wood.  If your puppy does...


Take your puppy to a veterinarian. Bring a fresh stool sample to the veterinarian. Purchase deworming medication.

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

As soon as you’ve adopted a new puppy, take it to the vet for a health check-up. Your vet will be able to inspect the puppy and its stool and let you know if the pup has worms. In most cases, a visit to the vet to treat your puppy can cost around $75-$100 USD. The vet will be able to detect worms in a dog’s stool. Collect a sample in a sealed plastic bag, and bring it with you to the vet appointment.  Even if you cannot see visible worms (which can appear as spaghetti-like, hair-like, or as round, segmented worms, depending on the species) in the stool, they may still be present. Some species of worms are microscopic.  Making a trip to the vet's office can be an easy way to get rid of your puppy’s worms. If the vet can visually identify worms in your puppy’s stool, they may start deworming treatment on the spot by administering an oral medication to your puppy. Many veterinary offices will sell deworming medication in the front office, which will save you a separate trip to a pet store. Talk to the vet about whether or not you'll need a prescription, or if you should use an over-the-counter option. Deworming medication will be sold at all pet shops and many large home-supply stores. The medication comes in both liquid and chewable forms.  Your vet may ask that you bring the puppy in for a visit before they'll give you a prescription. Different worms require different types of medication for proper treatment. Ask your vet which brand and type of medication your puppy needs. Most over-the-counter forms of deworming medication treat a variety of worms such as tapeworm, roundworm, gut worms, and hookworm. At most pet shops or retail stores, this medication is sold for around $35 USD.


Take your puppy to the vet by eight weeks of age. Schedule appointments for the first round of vaccines. Give your dog a heartworm preventative. Discuss de-worming with your vet. Consider spaying or neutering for your dog.

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

If you have a puppy, he should have his first veterinarian visit by 8 weeks of age. If your puppy or dog is older than this and hasn't been to the veterinarian yet, now is the time to schedule an appointment for an examination and to start or update vaccinations. This is important for your dog's health.  Make sure you vaccinate your dog against rabies, as this deadly disease can be caught by humans. It is a legal requirement of many states to vaccinate against rabies. For the first vet visit, you actually need to schedule two appointments. The first appointment will be an initial vaccination, followed in three to four weeks (depending on your vet's recommendations) by a booster vaccine. This will ensure that your puppy's immune system is “primed” to fight any invading diseases.  The veterinarian will discuss vaccines required in your area. The basic vaccines include distemper, rabies, and possibly Lyme vaccine. Vaccines are generally boostered at intervals of every year or every other year. Veterinary clinics will usually send you a reminder in the mail or via e-mail a few weeks prior to the due date for routine vaccinations after the first one is given. Another important health concern is heartworm disease. This nasty pest is spread by mosquitoes and lives in dog's hearts, causing misery and ill health. Your dog will need a test to make sure it is free from this pest.  Heartworm preventative should also be started as soon as possible to prevent this disease if your dog is given the all-clear. This is either a shot that will protect your dog for up to six months, or a monthly heartworm pill that your dog eats. If your dog tests positive for heartworm, the veterinarian will discuss treatment options which generally consists of further blood work, heart X-rays, and a (painful) treatment consisting of shots of a harsh medication and oral medication. Your veterinarian will also recommend routine de-worming for your dog. Puppies generally will be given a deworming treatment at their vaccination appointments to...


Take your shepherd in for a checkup every year. Get your dog spayed or neutered. Get possible medical problems treated as soon as possible. Bathe

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

When caring for a German shepherd, you need to make sure you are giving it preventative health care. If you have it looked at by a veterinarian every year, many health problems can be avoided and emerging problems can be treated quickly. Things your veterinarian will do during an annual exam may include:  A general health assessment—The vet will check the general condition of your dog, including looking for common ailments, such as ear infections. Nail trimming—When your dog's nails get long, it is very painful for them to move about. The vet will clip them if they are too long. De-worming and heartworm test—All dogs must be wormed every month or so to prevent them from getting worms. First, your dog will need to be tested for worms, and then your vet can prescribe a medication to be taken monthly. If your dog already has worms, your vet can provide a medication for treatment. Vaccinations—Talk to your vet to determine which vaccines are necessary and what diseases they’ll protect against. Getting your German shepherd fixed is important for keeping pet populations under control. Unless you are planning on breeding your dog, talk to your veterinarian about when the best time to spay or neuter your German shepherd is. This surgery usually occurs between the ages of 6 months and 1 1/2 years old, although waiting until the dog is 1 year old may increase the health of its joints. Neutering or spaying your dog can also help eliminate aggressive behavior in the future. For example, as soon as you see that your dog has a walking problem or is not eating as usual, take it to the vet. This specific breed of dog can get joint problems when they get old, so it's important to keep an eye out for physical and behavioral changes and start caring for them right away. In particular, watch for changes in how your dog walks and moves its legs. These changes could signal that your dog has joint problems, such as hip dysplasia, and that condition may require immediate medical treatment. and brush your German shepherd. Caring for...


Take your squirrel to a wildlife rescue as soon as you can. Seek regular veterinary care if you can't place your squirrel in a rescue. Check the legality of owning a squirrel in your state. Understand the risks of keeping a wild squirrel as a pet.

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

You should not attempt to rehabilitate an injured squirrel on your own. In the event you take in an injured or abandoned squirrel, find a nearby wildlife rescue. Take the squirrel in as soon as possible. If there is not a rescue near you, seek regular veterinary care for your squirrel as he recovers. Look for an exotic veterinarian in your area and take your squirrel in for regular checkups.  Start building your release cage ASAP.  Great guidelines can be found online at TheSquirrelBoard.com. Not every state allows squirrels as pets or even to be raised by someone non licensed. Some states may allow squirrels to be kept domestically but may have laws or regulations forbidding you from taking a squirrel out of the wild. You also might need a permit in some states to own a squirrel. Make sure you check your state's government website for specifics about the laws in your state. It is not recommended that you try to keep a wild squirrel as a pet. Squirrels are not domesticated and do not do well in captivity. They can be high energy and destructive if taken in from the wild and kept as pets. It's strongly recommended you make every effort to get your squirrel to a wildlife rescue as soon as you can.  They are also very expensive – plan to invest A LOT of money into the squirrel before release.


Take your tea to the next level by adding a sprinkle of dried spice. Make a flavored simple syrup to infuse your tea with a new essence. Add soda water to make a sparkling iced tea. Stir in fresh fruit to add a splash of color and invigorating flavor.

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

Cinnamon, cardamom, clove, star anise, or even chili powder would give your tea an additional warming element. Simply stir a pinch, or about 1/4 teaspoon (.5 grams), of the chosen spice into your tea and enjoy. If you have cinnamon sticks, add 1 to your mug before pouring in the hot water. Mint or raspberry are great flavors that will complement the lemon in your hot or iced tea. Heat up 1 cup (200 grams) of white sugar and 1 cup (240 mL) of water, and simmer them together until the sugar dissolves, which takes about 5 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in either 1 cup (25 grams) of mint leaves or 1 cup (125 grams) of fresh raspberries. Let them steep for 30 minutes, then strain the liquid into a glass jar to use in your tea. Add about 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 mL) of simple syrup to your cup of tea to sweeten and flavor it all at the same time. Simply fill your glass partially with iced tea and top off the rest with soda water. The more soda water you use, the more carbonated your tea will be. Feel free to use plain soda water or flavored. Soda water is also often called sparkling water, seltzer water, or fizzy water. Orange slices, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, pineapple, and many other fruits are great additions to your iced tea. Add about 1/4 cup (45 grams) of fresh fruit to your glass and pour the iced tea over top of it.  The fruit is delicious to eat when you finish drinking your tea. You could even freeze some fruit and use it in your iced tea in place of actual ice.


Take your temperature Think about the severity of your symptoms. Identify congestion from a cold versus the flu. Take note of chest discomfort. Consider whether you feel exhausted.

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

. A fever is one of the most common symptoms of the flu, and rarely occurs with the common cold. Measure your temperature using a home thermometer, or visit a doctor to have your temperature taken there. The average healthy body temperature is 98.6ºF (37ºC) when measured orally (by mouth), but it's normal for this to vary by 1ºF (0.6ºC) in either direction. The temperature reading that is considered a fever depends on your age and which type of thermometer you use:  Mouth: 100.4ºF (38ºC) or higher for adults, 99.5ºF (37.5ºC) for children Ear or Rectum (bottom): 101ºF (38.3ºC) or higher for adults, 100.4ºF (38ºC) for children Armpit: 99.4ºF (37.4ºC) or higher. This is a less accurate method of measurement. With a cold, the symptoms you experience are less severe. While you may experience things like a runny nose, sore throat, and other ailments, you will not feel completely run down. With the flu, symptoms will be more severe and you will likely struggle with simple tasks.  During the first couple days of the flu, symptoms can include aches, chills, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and a flushed face.  If the flu causes a high fever (103ºF / 39.4ºC or higher), you may experience hallucinations, confusion, dehydration, irritability, or convulsions. The main symptoms of a cold are often congestion-related, such as coughing, sneezing, and a runny nose. When you have the flu, these symptoms typically appear only after the fever has run its course, after two to four days. Nasal mucus from the flu also tends to be clear and watery, not thick. Remember to consider the severity as well. If symptoms of congestion are debilitating, they may be caused by a fever. They will also not be your only symptoms. You will notice other things, such as exhaustion and general aches and pains, if you have a fever. General discomfort centered in your chest is common when you have the flu (and accompanying fever). It is less common when you have a cold, and tends to be more mild and related to coughing and sneezing. If you have a...


Take your temperature. Consider if you are feeling generally unwell. Be aware of your hydration levels.

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

Besides symptoms at the wound site, you may also run a fever. A temperature over 100.5 can indicate an infected wound. You should get medical attention when a fever accompanies one or more of the infection signs listed above. An indicator of an infection in a wound can be as simple as feeling under the weather (general malaise). If you have a wound and start feel sick a few days later, it could be correlated. Check your wound again for signs of infection and if you continue to feel unwell contact a medical professional. If you notice body aches, headache, dizziness, upset stomach, or even vomit, you may have an infection. A new rash is another reason to check with your doctor. Being dehydrated could be indicator of an infected wound. Some of the main symptoms of dehydration include urinating less, having a dry mouth, sunken eyes, and dark urine. If you are experiencing these symptoms you should pay close attention to your wound, check it closely for the other signs of infection, and contact a doctor. Since your body is fighting infection, it is important to stay hydrated and drink plenty of fluids.


Take your time applying your makeup. Avoid touching your face during the day. Go lighter during the summer. Wear your hair up more often.

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

Slapping it on in the morning and rushing out the door won't give your makeup time to set. After each layer you apply, wait 5 minutes before applying the next one. This will go a long way toward helping your makeup stay in place all day long. Every time you touch your face, you're removing a little bit of makeup and increasing the chances it'll get smudged. Avoiding touching your face with your fingers as much as possible. When it's hot outside, wearing a ton of makeup is never a good idea. As you perspire, your makeup will naturally come off a lot more easily. The best thing to do is wear waterproof eye makeup and go easy on the foundation, rather than fighting to keep it in place all day long. Having your hair brush against your face all day long is a sure way to take off your makeup a little faster. When it's essential for your makeup to stay set all day, go for an updo style that day.


Take your time in order to avoid relationship cycling. Grieve the relationship fully before considering a reunion. Enjoy your life as a single person. Take care of yourself physically. Figure out exactly why you dumped your ex. Evaluate whether things have changed. Decide that you want to get back together with your ex.

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

Relationship cycling is a toxic pattern of breaking up and making up. While cycling can be intoxicating, it is harmful to the development of long-lasting, stable relationships. Be sure to give yourself some time--a few weeks to a few months--before reconnecting in order to avoid this negative pattern. Even though you were the dumper during the breakup, you will still likely grieve the end of the relationship for several weeks. Be sure that you are not still in the stages of grief for a failed relationship--that might force you to reconnect with an ex too soon or for the wrong reasons.  The stages of grief are denial, bargaining, depression, anger, and acceptance.  Until you have reached the acceptance phase, any urge you have to rekindle a relationship with an ex should be viewed with suspicion. Be happy with yourself for a while before reaching out to your ex. Take up a hobby, reconnect with old friends, learn a new skill. Not only will focusing on yourself help you recover from the breakup, but you will be a more interesting and more appealing person when you do reconnect with your ex. Breakups can cause emotional pain that your body registers as physical pain. Be sure that you are treating yourself well physically as well as emotionally.  Exercise regularly, eat well, sleep well, and avoid heavy drinking. Not all breakups are bad--if a relationship stifled your self-growth, perhaps it is better that you broke up. Consider writing down how you feel in order to process your emotions and get an objective sense of why you broke up with your ex.  Make sure that you are not interested in your ex simply out of loneliness. If you do not like or respect your ex, and if you do not think the relationship is fixable, you should not get back together with him or her. If the reason for the initial breakup still exists, you might try to resist the urge to back together with your ex. For example, if you broke up with your ex because the stresses of a long-distance relationship were too great, do not try to reconnect with...


Take your time to prepare the wood for painting. Remove any old paint from the wood as necessary. Fill all dings and deep gouges with quality wood putty, if possible. Sand the surface of the wood with coarse sandpaper and finish off with fine sandpaper. Clean off any dust or wood residue with a tack cloth. Tape off any parts of the wood that you don't wish to paint. Prime the wood.

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

This is probably the most overlooked part of painting wood, and in many ways is the most critical. Your work is only as good as the canvas upon which your creation takes life. Paint will not fill in cracks, dents, holes or other imperfections in the wood and keep them hidden after it dries. In fact, those imperfections will probably be even more apparent. If the wood you want to paint has paint already on it, you may have to remove it before adding a new coat. Take a putty knife and scrape away as much paint as you can without getting too persnickety about coverage; don’t worry, you’ll sand away smaller flecks of residual paint before the preparation is done.  Unless the existing surface is an oil based stain or finish, do not use chemical strippers. Scrape as much off as possible and then use a trisodium phosphate (TSP) solution to clean off the rest of the loose paint and grime. Rinse well. If your wood is treated with a stain or a finish, apply TSP to the wood. Instead of trying to remove the stain or finish entirely, focus on cleaning and sanding it (more on sanding later) in order to give the paint a porous surface to adhere to. Stripping the paint isn’t always needed. In fact, you can often paint over existing coats. This may call for a primer, though, if your paint isn’t sticking well to the earlier coat. Use a flexible putty knife and fill in all the areas needing attention. It is better to use too much in this step than not enough. You will sand down the area after it dries and hardens, so it doesn't need to be perfect at this step.  Use regular spackle or joint compound to fill in small or shallow scratches. Try to use spackle with a primer included. Wait to dry completely before sanding. Caulk areas of long and deep cracks. Use a tiny bead of caulk, smoothing it out well. Wait to dry completely before sanding. Start by sanding down the area where you've used putty or filler before moving to the rest of the surface for an even feel. Use a fine grade sandpaper for this work sanding the wood with 80...


Take your time to think it over. Ask your friends and family for advice. Give the guy a clear answer. Take the time to get to know him better.

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

If you aren't sure, or if you haven't had much dating experience, you might not be able to give this guy a solid yes or no answer right away. Tell him that you need to think about it, but that you'll give him a definite answer in the next few days. Try not to keep him guessing for too long – if he really likes you, he'll be anxiously awaiting your reply. Make sure that you give him 	some sort of answer, even if you just explain why you can't give him a more definite answer yet. It takes courage to ask out someone that you really like, and the least you can do is acknowledge that you're thinking about it. This is especially important if he asks you out via text, email, or instant messaging: if you don't reply, he will have nothing to do but speculate! Make sure to only ask people that you trust. Describe the situation, explain why you aren't sure, and weigh out the pros and cons of saying yes or no. Remember: you don't need to take anyone's advice, but it might help you better understand your own feelings. If you don't feel comfortable asking anyone, make a list of the pros and cons and try to decide on your own. Try to make your response as close as possible to "yes" or "no", especially if it's conditional. Once you've thought through your choice, get the guy one-on-one and tell him what you've decided. If you can't get him alone face-to-face, send him a text or an instant message. You don't need to explain your thought process, especially if had major qualms about going out with this guy. If you're comfortable doing so, however, it might help the guy understand why you took so long to answer him. There's no rush. You don't need to date him right this instant; if he respects you, he'll be patient and wait until you feel comfortable.  Tell him, "I like you, but I want to get to know you better before I commit to a relationship. Let's hang out as friends and see what happens." If you want to say yes, but are not ready to have a relationship yet, you could say "I want to date you. I want to hold your hand. I...


Take your time when speaking. Laugh and move on when you struggle with a word. Use positive affirmations. Make gratitude lists Do things you enjoy. Avoid comparing yourself to others. Spend time with supportive people. Practice kindness. Maintain a healthy lifestyle.

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

Don’t rush yourself. Pause for a moment to prepare before speaking, and speak slowly if you need to. Concentrate on articulating each word. Sometimes, you cannot help mispronouncing a word because of your lisp. Rather than feel embarrassed about it, try to laugh it off and move on with the conversation. Make a joke about how you just cannot get that word right and replace it with an easier word or skip the word and move on. Doing this can help to diffuse the situation and make you feel less self-conscious about your lisp. It can also show others that you are still confident despite your lisp and are not deterred by your speech impediment. Boost your self-confidence so you feel less self-conscious about your lisp using daily positive affirmations. Repeat affirmations like “I am brave,” “I am bold,” and “I will not be bothered.” Say the affirmations in the mirror at the beginning of your day or before you go to sleep.  You may choose positive affirmations that do not contain “s” or “z” sounds so your lisp does not come out when you say them. This may help you feel more confident. In addition to saying your affirmations out loud, try writing them down and posting them somewhere where you will see them regularly. Read them to yourself occasionally as you go about your day. . Practicing gratitude is a good way to keep things in perspective and focus on the positive aspects of your life. If you find yourself fixating on bad thoughts and feelings associated with your lisp, take a moment to gently redirect your thoughts. Think about all the things in your life that you are grateful for, and write them down. Read over your list occasionally to remind yourself of all the positives in your life.   Your list could include things like important relationships in your life, accomplishments you have made, good experiences you have had, or a few of your own positive qualities. A gratitude list is also a good way to celebrate your accomplishments as you work on your speech. Keep track of any progress you make, and write down...


Take your time when visiting the Vatican Museums. Bring water or buy it at the vending machines. Exit the Vatican Museums and walk down the spiral staircase.

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

Although most people are more aware of the Sistine Chapel, there is plenty more to be seen as you make your way through the museums toward the chapel.  Use the bathroom right before you enter the museums. There are not many places to use it while you explore. Bring your camera to take pictures in the museums. You are not allowed to take photos in the Sistine Chapel; however, you can in most places in the museums. There will be signs to tell you when you can use flash.  Spend extra time in the Pinacoteca. This is to the right after you take the entry escalator. Many people ignore this area, because it is the opposite way from the Sistine Chapel, but Italians think of the collection of Raphael, Da Vinci and Caravaggio works as a treasure. Summer visitors can quickly become dehydrated, and the Vatican affords you fewer opportunities to buy food and drink than other places in Italy. Come prepared with some water, so you can stay healthy and longer. This is a famous staircase that most visitors get to see and photograph. You can also try to take the "secret" door that will lead you straight to St. Peter's Basilica. If you exit through the right door when you leave the Museums, you will head straight to this place. You may be turned away, because it is technically reserved for tour groups. You will miss the spiral staircase if you take this route.


Take your time. Eat little and often. Avoid large meals late at night. Don't use a straw!

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

With the busy lifestyles that many of us lead it is very easy to get into bad habits that may cause us to rush meals. When you eat quickly you may unwittingly swallow air along with your food, which then gets trapped and causes bloating. Sounds a little silly, but that's actually how it works! Try chewing your food 30 times before swallowing; you may not wish to stick with this discipline but it is a great way to become more conscious of the way that you eat and to adjust it accordingly. And to see if it affects the bloat! Eating smaller portions is kinder to your tummy -- and your waistline -- so try having 4-5 small meals a day rather than 3 large ones. It keeps your metabolism ticking over nicely and prevents the kind of hunger that can lead to large portions. In addition, to keeping everything running smoothly in there.  Binge eating can lead to bloating, so stick to small meals.  Ever felt terrible after Thanksgiving? Yeah. That. That feeling needs to go and never come back. Eating little and often keeps you going and energized and prevents you from having to loosen your belt afterward. Eating is supposed to make you feel good, not exhausted! This is especially true if the meal contains lots of carbs. When you load up late at night, you just wake up feeling all puffy-like in the morning. You spend the night retaining water and wake up feeling like a sponge. So if one of your meals is big, make it lunch. Then you have time to work it off! Or do anything that ups your air intake needlessly. That means talking while eating, too. The more gulps of air you take in with that food or drink, the more that has to get processed in your body. It has to get rid of it somehow, so it turns into bloating and gas.


Take your toddler to the pediatrician. Ask if your child has an acute or chronic sinusitis. Ask the pediatrician whether your child needs antibiotics. Consider allergy tests or treatment for your child. Ask your doctor if your toddler needs surgery for chronic sinusitis.

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

If your toddler is not feeling better after a few days or his condition worsens, seek medical attention. Your child’s pediatrician can diagnose the cause of sinusitis and prescribe medication if needed. The pediatrician may perform an examination to see if your child has sinusitis, such as looking in the nasal cavity for polyps, shining a light through a sinus to look for signs of inflammation, or performing a nasal culture. She will also check your child's ears, throat and lungs. Your child may suffer from acute or chronic sinusitis, depending on the severity and duration of his infection. The doctor can help make the distinction and treat it accordingly.  Chronic sinusitis tends to last 12 or more weeks or causes recurring infections four to six times in one year. Acute sinusitis typically lasts only a few weeks and the symptoms tend to be more severe within that short span of time. Your toddler may require antibiotics in order to treat her sinusitis. Antibiotics are can be used to treat bacterial sinus infections but are not effective on viral infections.  The pediatrician is likely to prescribe antibiotics after your child has been ill for longer than 10 days, as this is a sign of a bacterial infection versus a viral infection.  If your child is prescribed a course of antibiotics, the medication should be taken as directed by your child’s doctor and no doses should be skipped even when your child begins to feel better. If your child has symptoms suggestive of allergies or known allergic triggers, then allergy testing or treatment may be in order. Children with allergies are more likely to have problems with sinus infections. In extreme causes of recurrent or chronic sinusitis, the best course of action may be surgery. Your pediatrician can advise you about whether this is right for your toddler.  Surgery is considered as the best option when your child has multiple episodes of sinusitis that cannot be relieved with medication therapy.  A surgery generally consists of removing some of the tissue near the...


Take your turn until you fail to pocket a ball. Know your objective. Aim for the lowest-numbered ball. Avoid soft hits. Place the ball anywhere if your opponent fouls. Obey standard pool rules. Play several games.

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

Whenever you pocket a ball, you get to take another shot. Continue taking shots until you fail to pocket a ball, or you foul. When this happens, play passes to the next player.  This includes the break: if the person who broke pocketed a ball, they get to take another shot. Just like 8-ball, you can only hit the cue ball, usually a white ball with no numbers. In 9-ball pool, whoever pockets the 9-ball wins the game. You can even win on the break this way! Of course, there are other rules that makes this goal harder than it sounds. Every time you take a shot, the cue ball must hit the lowest-numbered ball still on the table, before it hits any other balls. If it hits a different ball first, or if it doesn't hit any balls, the shot is a foul. (See below for more info on fouls.) You can pocket any numbered ball without a penalty. For example, the cue ball can hit the 1-ball, then bounce off and knock the 7-ball into a pocket. This is a legal shot. You can even pocket the 9-ball this way to win the game. After hitting the lowest-numbered ball, at least one ball must hit a rail or enter a pocket. If this does not happen, the shot is a foul. If a player commits a foul, the next player picks up the cue ball and places it anywhere on the table before making her shot. As mentioned above, fouls include hitting the wrong ball first, or failing to drive any ball into a pocket or rail. Standard pool fouls also apply: knocking a ball off a table, pocketing the cue ball ("scratching"), touching a moving ball, or hitting the cue ball out of turn are all fouls. The next player gets to move the cue ball anywhere on the table.  If the 9-ball is knocked off or pocketed during a foul, "spot" it back to the foot spot, or as close behind the foot spot as possible. Other numbered balls that leave the table illegally stay out of play. Accidentally touching a non-moving ball is not a foul, but the other players get to decide whether to leave it in the new position or move it back. Compared to other types of pool, 9-ball plays ends...


Take your vehicle to a reputable repair shop for diagnosis and repairs. Repair any  leaks in the cooling system. Check for blocked airflow to your radiator and inspect your cooling fans. Install a new thermostat if yours has failed. Find out if your heater core is leaking or clogged and repair or replace it. Ensure your water pump is operating correctly.

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

Whether you were able to drive the vehicle home or needed to call a tow truck, the next step is to inspect the cooling system and make necessary repairs. Unless you have mechanical knowledge and experience, it’s best to hire a professional to service your vehicle. Schedule an appointment with a mechanic and describe any issues you’re having as well as any steps you’ve taken to address those issues. Coolant may leak from the radiator, hoses, freeze plugs, heater core, or intake manifold gasket. Find the source of the leak and replace the necessary components to get your vehicle up and running again. Proper airflow is necessary to cool your vehicle’s engine. Ensure that nothing is blocking air from flowing to your radiator. Then, inspect your cooling fans to see if they are operating properly. Remove any obstructions and/or replace the fans or fan motor, if necessary. Additionally, if the fins on your radiator are bent, it may prevent your vehicle from cooling itself properly. If the thermostat remains closed, it prevents coolant from running through the engine, leading to an overheated vehicle. Replace your thermostat to correct the problem. If you continue driving the vehicle while the thermostat remains in the closed position, it can cause major engine damage, leading to more expensive repairs. Inspect the heater core and attached hoses for leaks. If there aren’t any leaks, you can pressure test the heater core to see if it is working properly. If it’s not, flushing it may solve the problem. However, you may need to replace the heater core if that doesn’t work. A non-operational heater is another sign of a bad heater core. Additionally, check for coolant on the floor of the passenger side of the vehicle to see if the heater core might be the culprit. A malfunctioning water pump can create all sorts of issues, including an overheating engine. Check for leaks in and around the water pump. If you see any, try replacing the gasket first. If that doesn’t work, replace the water pump.  You may hear a rumbling...


Take zinc together with folic acid. Kick your soda habit. Try taking certain amino acids. Try horny goat weed. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

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

Zinc is an essential mineral that is instrumental in several factors of cellular metabolism. In combination with folic acid, zinc was found to increase sperm count by 74% in men who had fertility problems, according to one study.  So how much zinc and folic acid should you take every day, you ask? 1 mg of folic acid and 15 mg of zinc sulfate is recommended. Always remember to take zinc in combination with folic acid. Taken alone, neither supplement had a significant bearing on sperm count. Not only is soda rich in high fructose corn syrup bad for your liver, but it's also bad for your baby batter. Compared to men who drink no soda, those who drink more than a quart a day had 30% lower sperm counts. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. These organic compounds, taken regularly, are reputed to boost levels of silly string. Scientists believe that sperm benefit from amino acids because certain amino acids are found in large quantities in the heads of sperm. Look out for the following amino acids to boost your ejaculate:  L-Arginine L-Lysine L-Carnitine According to legend, this supplement gets its name from a Chinese goat-herder who noticed some serious arousal in his flock after they chewed on a particular species of epimedium. But does this strange herb actually work? Horny goat weed is reputed to restrict enzymes that block blood flow to the penis. Whether or not this helps your diminutive dailies is still up for debate. Sometimes, all you need is a healthy diet. Fruits and veggies, especially, are rich in antioxidants, which could help improve the quality of life your sperm enjoy. Aside from increasing your ejaculate, foods rich in antioxidants will also make you healthier and help you feel better. Food rich in antioxidants include:  Red beans Wild blueberries, cranberries, and blackberries Coconut water Prunes Apples (Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Gala) Artichokes


Talk about an academic year with the word curso (COOR-soh). Describe an age group using the word generación. Use cosecha or vendimia when talking about wine.

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

In English, you use the same word to talk about a school year or a 12-month period of time. Spanish has a different word, although in practice the two are used interchangeably.  Curso is a masculine noun. It is primarily used to refer to an academic year, but it also can be used as a translation of the English word "course." For example, you might say "El curso acaba en junio," or "The school year ends in June." The Spanish word generación (hen-er-rahs-ee-OHN) is similar to the English word generation, but sometimes can be used in contexts where you would use the word year in English.  Typically generación is used to mean year in an academic setting. It refers to a specific year of students, such as the class of 2017. This group is a "generation" in the sense that you're talking about everyone in that graduating class. For example, you might say "El príncipe William y yo estuvimos en la misma generación en el Colegio Eton" if you wanted to tell someone "Prince William and I were in the same year at Eton College." If you're a wine enthusiast, you probably hear people talking in English about good years and bad years. In Spanish, rather than using año, you'll more frequently hear these words.   Cosecha (coh-SAY-chuh) refers to a harvest generally, but can be used when talking about wine. Vendimia (vin-dim-EE-uh) refers more specifically to a harvest of grapes, so it's a more specific term. For example, you might say "1994 fue una buena vendimia" or "1994 fue una buena cosecha" to mean "1994 was a good year [for wine]."


Talk about expectations. Offer makeup and wardrobe suggestions. Tell your client to drink plenty of water. Choose the perfect time for the shoot.

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

Ask your client how they plan on using their headshots. The tone of the photo will depend on the type of image they want to project. A headshot for a model to take to an agency, for instance, should be very minimal, while an actor's headshot might show a little more personality, and you might choose an informal, relaxed setting with props for a small business owner who wants a picture for their website. Listen to the words they use to describe themselves. This will help you understand the tone they have in mind. Words like "professional", "approachable", "fresh", and "versatile" all convey different emotion. Think about how you can use your client's facial expressions and body language to bring their vision to life. Some everyday makeup trends don’t translate well to camera. Recommend clean, simple makeup that showcases the subject’s natural appearance. Clothing should be simple, flattering, and non-distracting, and jewelry should be minimal.  Suggest colors that will complement the client's skin tone. For instance, subjects with medium or dark skin often look great in bold, bright shades that contrast with their coloring, while clients with fair skin might look best in a darker color. Recommend that your clients be comfortable. A photo shoot is no time for ill-fitting clothes or tight shoes. If your subject feels uncomfortable, it will show in the picture. Suggest that your client avoid clothes which made from scratchy or clingy materials. Hydration is important to giving skin a healthy glow. The subject should also avoid soda or alcohol and greasy, salty foods the days of the shoot, as these can make a person look bloated and tired. Instead, recommend that they eat a light, healthy meal beforehand so they’ll have plenty of energy. Try to find a day when the subject has plenty of free time. Being rushed on the way to or from the shoot might cause your client to feel stressed, and this can show in the final photograph. If you're shooting outside, think about the lighting at different times of day. Try to...


Talk about getting a new phone. Work to find solutions. Offer to put your own money toward your new phone. Be persistent without being rude. Build a convincing argument.

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

Sometimes, starting the conversation can lead you to a solution. Be polite when you tell you're parents that you are interested in getting a new phone, and really listen to what they have to say. If you can respond to your parents reasons and excuses for not getting you a new phone in a convincing way, they'll be more likely to shell out for your brand new mobile device. You might ask:  "What can I do to earn a new phone?" "Are there any other chores I can help with to prove I'm ready for a new phone?" Stay calm throughout your talk with your parents about your phone situation and keep your cool if you hear a "no" in response. This is an opportunity for you to show your maturity and to earn points with your parents. Instead of getting upset or frustrated, ask your parents:  "What can I do to change your mind?" "What can I do to prove to you that I need a new phone?" This can be tricky, especially if you're too young to work. If you have birthday money saved up, you can offer to put that toward getting a new phone, or you can offer to do more housework in exchange for an allowance.  Offer your services as a babysitter to friends and family who have children that are younger than you who need supervision. You might be able to earn money around your neighborhood doing seasonal chores, like mowing lawns in summer or shoveling snow in winter. When you want something badly, sometimes it's all you can think about. However, asking again and again can irritate your parents, making them less willing to get you a phone. Instead of asking the same question repeatedly, ask in a roundabout way that highlights your recent effort. You might say, for example:  "How does the kitchen look? I've been trying to help out by doing dishes. I thought that maybe if I helped out around the house more, we could talk again about getting me a new phone." "I know you've been busy with work lately, so I vacuumed the house for you. Is there anything else I can help with? I was thinking that if I contributed more, I might be able to get a new...


Talk about his feelings when you’re both calm. Listen to his reasoning. Talk to him about how much space he needs. Don’t be afraid to compromise. Stay calm and don’t jump to conclusions.

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

It’s normal to feel angry or upset if your boyfriend tells you he’d like more space. If you feel like you can’t talk it out calmly and fairly in the moment, ask him if you can talk about it later. Walk away for a few minutes, letting yourself breathe and calm down. Say, “I don’t feel like I can talk about this right now without getting upset. Let me have a few hours to calm down and then let’s talk this through.” You may not feel that you need a break from your relationship right now, but he does, so you have a responsibility to acknowledge and try to understand his feelings. Really allow yourself to see where he’s coming from, even if it means confronting some of your own shortcomings.  For example, he might say that he wants to spend more time pursuing his own hobbies, but you feel threatened when he chooses to spend time away from you. This might be hard to hear, but listen quietly and try to understand his feelings. Don’t interrupt him; wait until he’s done to tell him how you feel. Stay calm and don’t get defensive. Both of your feelings are valid; allow him space to express his before you try to refute them. Remember, if your boyfriend felt comfortable enough to ask you for more space, it may be a sign that he trusts you. Let him explain what he feels and what kind of space he needs without judging or getting angry. As someone who cares about him, it’s your job to respect and try to understand his feelings.  It’s likely that your boyfriend just needs a little more time to himself. Maybe he wants to play video games with his friends once a week or not feel pressured to text you every few hours. It’s also possible he wants to take a longer-term break. Ask him to be honest and specific. Say, “What kind of space can I give you? What do you need from me?” Many healthy couples take time for themselves. Remember that this isn’t his attempt to escape or break up with you; this is something you can do with him to make your relationship stronger. If he wanted to break up, he probably would. Even after listening...


Talk about hormonal contraceptives. Ask about iron supplements. Discuss tranexamic acid with your doctor. Try NSAIDs like ibuprofen at home.

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

It is believed that diabetes disrupts hormone balance. Hormonal contraceptives are helpful for many women. They can help balance your hormones, which in turn can decrease the severity of your period. Many women on hormonal contraceptives, like the birth control pill, find they have very light periods. Ask your doctor if this option is a good one for you.  Most women who are diabetic and on oral contraceptives adjust just fine. However, it is possible that this treatment could raise your blood sugar levels, so keep an eye on that if you choose this method.  Other options include hormonal intrauterine devices, as well as other types of oral hormones, such as progesterone. If you experience heavy bleeding on your period as a diabetic, you may need to talk to your doctor about iron supplements. Your doctor can check your blood work to see if you have low iron (iron anemia). If you do, your doctor will likely recommend that you take iron supplements, as well as increase iron in your diet.  However, it's important to check your blood work and talk to your doctor before starting supplements. High iron in the blood can actually be detrimental for diabetics, so you don't want to increase your iron intake without knowing whether it's low or not.  Iron anemia is generally characterized by weakness and fatigue. Another solution that may help you is tranexamic acid. This medication can help you bleed less during menstruation, and you only need to take it when you're bleeding. However, like most medications, diabetics should be cautious about taking it, so talk to your doctor about whether this prescription is a good option for you. If you do have heavier periods from diabetes, ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory NSAIDs may help with the cramping pain. In addition, they may also help you bleed less. In some women, NSAIDs have the opposite effect (making you bleed more), so pay attention when you're taking them.  Always talk to your doctor before starting any medication. Also, you should not take something like ibuprofen...


Talk about how excited you are for homecoming. Mention that you are available. Ask him about his homecoming plans. Plant the idea in his mind. Write "anonymous" notes.

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

Do not bring it up during every conversation, but mentioning it every other day or so should get the point across. Mention how eager you are to attend. Talk about all the little details involved, including the way your outfit looks and what you plan on wearing with it or, if you do not have an outfit yet, the sort of outfit you would like to wear. Also make sure to talk about how fun you think homecoming will be. Some examples of things you can say include: "I can't wait to see all my friends in their dresses," "I wonder what kind of music they'll play at homecoming," and "I can just tell that this homecoming is going to be memorable." When you talk about homecoming, make sure your crush knows that you are currently dateless. Along with mentioning how eager you are for homecoming to come, mention that you do not have anyone to go with yet or that you are only planning on going with your friends "so far." Use terminology like "so far" to suggest that you are open to the idea of going with a date rather than your group of friends.   Avoid saying anything desperate, though, like "I don't know what I'll do if no one asks me to go." Instead, keep the statements positive. You can say something like "I can't wait until homecoming. I wonder who I'll go with," or "So far I've just got plans to go with my friends. We've been talking about it non-stop." If the guy you have your eye on already has a date for homecoming, no amount of hint-dropping will make him ask you. Find out if your guy is available or a lost cause by asking about his homecoming plans. Do not blurt out the question, "Do you have a homecoming date?" Instead, as you are casually talking about your own plans, slip in a question about whether or not he plans to go or if he is looking forward to it. You can say something like "My friends and I have already planned out what we're going to do before homecoming. What about you?" As he begins talking more about homecoming, you can gradually ease the information out of him. If you find out that your crush is...


Talk about intimacy before you get to the bedroom, if possible. Bring up sex in a comfortable, relaxed environment. Be honest about how your potential partner makes you feel. Try to keep the conversation light-hearted. Check in with your partner when you're fooling around.

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

Bringing up sex ahead of time can help you and the person you're into become more comfortable with each other. If you're seeing someone, ask them about the right time to take things to the next level, how they feel about sex, and about their likes and dislikes.  Try asking, “When do you think is the right time for couples to start having sex? We should have a talk about when the right time for us will be.” If you're not dating the person you're into, you might not have the opportunity to have a conversation in advance. Before going all the way, be sure to get clear consent and discuss safe sex options. Make sure you and your potential partner have privacy when you ask them if they're interested. Help them feel safe and comfortable, and try to read their body language to ensure they feel at ease.  You don't necessarily have to talk about sex alone in a room with the door closed. You might be on a date at a restaurant or other public place when you bring up having sex. Be mindful of those around you. Don't ask your partner about sex when lots of people are within earshot. You don't want to put them on the spot or embarrass them. Be straight-forward, warm, and polite, and don't try to put on an act or drop cheesy pick up lines. Just be yourself and tell the person you're into how you feel. Let them know you find them attractive, but make sure any compliments you offer are sincere.  Try saying, “When we kiss, I feel like electricity's running through my body. I don't mean to put on any pressure or anything, but I'd really like to take things to the next level.” Be courteous and respectful. Don't go into a vivid description of what you want to do with them. If they aren't ready for sex, this could put them off. Talking about sex doesn't have to be super serious. It's one thing if you're talking about a serious topic, like a negative sexual experience or an STI (sexually transmitted infection). However, if you're talking about what turns you on or telling someone you want to have sex,  try to be playful or joke...


Talk about it. Separate the person from their behavior. Set expectations and enforce consequences. Don't cave in to criticism. Take action against bullies.

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

If a difficult person's behavior affects your day and interferes with your happiness, it's time to confront the situation head-on. Be honest about what's bothering you. For example, if your sister is constantly complaining about your parents, tell her that her negativity is starting to get you down, and that from now on you don't want to hear anything more on the subject. It's not going to be an easy conversation to have, but it might be just what's needed to create a better dynamic in your relationship.  Don't confront the person in front of other people. The person might feel embarrassed and put on the spot, so it's best to find a private time and place to have the discussion. Try not to express anger during the discussion. This could cause the conversation to spiral out of control, which is the last thing you need. This technique enables you to give an honest critique of a person's behavior without attacking him or her on a deeply personal level. Your goal is not to make the person feel rotten, it's to put a stop to the destructive behavior that's affecting you (and probably others). Point out specific examples of behaviors that are problematic. For example, if your boss never gives you positive feedback, and as a result your morale is low, have a meeting with your boss during which you ask specifically for more feedback on what you're doing right. Say it would be helpful to know what's going well in addition to what you need to improve. In some cases it's appropriate to tell the person exactly what needs to change, and what will happen if it doesn't. While this technique might not be the most effective one to use at work - giving your boss an ultimatum probably won't go over so well - it can be a useful way to deal with a difficult family member or friend. Give the person a specific boundary and make it clear that if they cross it, there will be consequences.  For example, if you visit your great aunt twice a week, and she spends your time together complaining about her life and people in your family,...


Talk about it. Show your partner what you like. Be open to constructive criticism. Understand consent.

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

Communicate with your partner about your desires, your turn-offs, and how you are feeling. Revisit this conversation often, as feelings, preferences, and life can change. Remember that couples frequently fight about sex, so it is important to keep communication open and clear to avoid resentment and frustration building up.  You may feel uncomfortable or vulnerable having a conversation with your partner about your sexuality, but try anyway. You could say, “Even though I have sex with you, I still feel kind of weird talking about having sex with you. But I want to talk with you about our sex life as a couple and how we can make it better.” Tell your partner what you like about your sex life and what turns you on. Talk about what you would like to change, or what puts you in the mood. You could say, “I really like it when we have sex in the shower and I would like to do that more often. I like it when we use toys. I wish we could have sex at least twice a week.” Ask your partner what they like or would change about your sex life. You both may find it very sexy to show your partner what you enjoy. Demonstrate how you masturbate to your partner, or place your partner’s hands on your body and show them what to do. If you or your partner don’t really know what you enjoy, experiment on yourselves or on each other. Masturbation is an important component of your sexual knowledge and health. Whether you are discussing sex or actually in the middle of it, create an environment where you are both open to acknowledging when one of you isn’t enjoying something. Sex makes us vulnerable, so it can be hard to handle criticism, but being too sensitive to receive it will create tension with your partner.  If your partner says, “I don’t really like it when you touch me like that,” say, “I’m sorry. Can you show me what you like?” Don’t take it personally. Even after many years, you will still have things to learn about each other. Discuss sexual consent with your partner. For an open, healthy sexual relationship, both of you...


Talk about mutual interests. Ask her about herself. Keep conversations on the shorter side. Ask about an assignment or schedule to open a message. Use a conversation starter. Draw on joint activities. Respect her boundaries.

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

Chances are you want to talk to this girl on Facebook because there’s something you like about her. Talk about your mutual interests to connect with her on a deeper level. You could say, “I saw you’re wearing a Ramones T-shirt in your profile photo. I love them too. What’s your favorite album?” Most people enjoy talking about themselves, and everyone appreciates a good listener. Ask the girl questions to get to know her better. In the beginning, it may make sense to keep Messenger conversations shorter rather than longer. A conversation that goes on and on may feel uncomfortable to her if you don’t know each other well. Get to know one another gradually over multiple messages to build friendship in a natural way. Messenger sends private messages between you and the girl you’re trying to chat with. Your messages won’t be subject to the comments and likes of other people, but it will feel a little more personal. If you’re unsure how to begin, open the conversation by asking about something perfunctory rather than personal. This doesn’t mean that a personal conversation can’t follow, but it puts less pressure on getting the conversation started. You could say, “Hey, do you know what the English homework is for tomorrow? I forgot to write it down,” or “What time does our shift at the restaurant begin tomorrow, again?” Conversation starters are open-ended questions that allow you to get to know someone better. These don’t have to be particularly loaded or customized. They are just to break the ice. If you’ve been writing on each other’s Facebook wall posts already, you could even follow up on something she’s posted about. It’s likely you and the girl you’d like to chat with know each other through something you both already do. Try talking about joint activities like classes or work you already have in common. Drawing on shared experiences will bring you closer.  You could say, “I really liked that drill we did at practice today. You ran so fast!” or “That customer at the store today was hilarious. Did she really...


Talk about problems as soon as they come up. Have a plan. Take advantage of mediation resources.

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

Don't assume that your roommate can read your mind. Nothing can change unless you acknowledge it. It's possible that your roommate may not even be aware of the problem.   Discuss any issues with your roommate in person and directly—no texts or emails, and don’t bring it up through a friend of a friend. Don't be afraid to speak your mind. If something's bugging you, your roommate deserves to know. Bring up behavior, not personality. It's not reasonable to ask people to change who they are, but you can ask them to tone down behaviors that are making life difficult for you. For example, it would be unfair to criticize someone for being "perky," but you can ask someone not to talk so much while you're studying. Focus on one pet peeve at a time. There are probably tons of things your roommate does that get on your nerves. Don’t nag your roommate about every little thing that aggravates you—only bring it up if it’s really bothering you. Invite your roommate to discuss any pet peeves with you. When you are preparing to discuss your problem with your roommate, thinking through what you need to say and considering how you'll say it will prevent you from getting flustered and forgetting what you wanted to say, especially if you struggle with standing up for yourself.  Start by asking, “Can we talk?” This will usually get a person’s undivided attention. Give your roommate the option to set the conversation up at a later time and place, so that she doesn't feel cornered and immediately get defensive. Write down a list of the things you plan to bring up, as well as a few examples. This will help you stay on track with your point, and will also make you prepared to answer any questions your roommate may have. If your complaint is that your roommate leaves dirty dishes around, be prepared to give examples of when this occurred. Examples will help her to see your point. Be positive and kind, and be patient. Don't make the situation bigger than it is. It is hard to hear that you’re doing something that’s bothering someone, so...


Talk about race. Seek out culturally diverse experiences. Attend a conference or join an anti-racism group. Challenge racism in the world.

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

Many people are afraid to talk about race and confront the difficult issues it may present. Research shows, however, that talking about these issues increases racial tolerance, especially among children.  After you've done some research, it's a good idea to talk to people of races other than your own about their experiences. Listen and ask questions before sharing your views. The idea is to learn, not to teach.  Remember that when people who have suffered from the effects of racism are sharing their experiences, you should not make the conversation about yourself or your guilt. Remember too that their experiences are not wrong just because they don't comport with your own.  Remember to treat people of other races as individuals and avoid treating them as representatives of their race. Also remember that people of other races are not teachers of race relations and that they are not obligated to talk to you about racism. If you have the opportunity, work on performing some task with people you are prejudiced against. Completing a task at work or school that requires working together toward a common goal can help bridge divides between people. A great way to start appreciating people different from yourself is to respectfully seek out experiences connected with their culture.  Having experiences with a variety of people, cultures, and environments makes them easier to understand and appreciate.  Take time to observe (and hopefully appreciate) not only the differences, but also the similarities, between your culture and the the one you are experiencing. This has been shown in psychological experiments to decrease prejudice. These venues are a great place to work with others to improve not only your own racial attitudes, but also society at large.  Two of the larger organizations that work on these issues are the White Privilege Conference and the Anti-Racist Alliance.  Check to see if there is an anti-racism group where you live. Getting actively involved in the struggle against racism will only increase your...


Talk about sexual histories with your partner. Limit your number of sexual partners. Try using sex toys. Don't have sex with high-risk partners.

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

Though it may seem like a mood-killer, it's important to talk about your and your partner's sexual history before you have sex. If your partner has had unprotected sex, that puts you at a higher risk of contracting the HPV virus from him or her. It is important if you have had an infection in the past that you tell your sexual partner(s). If you only have one sexual partner whom you know is virus-free and only having sex with you, you cannot get the virus. If that's not an option for you, try reducing the number of sexual partners you have, as the more sexual partners you have, the more your risk of infection increases. If you're unsure of your sexual partner's history, try using sex toys instead, which can limit skin to skin contact. However, make sure to clean sex toys in soap and water, though make sure your toy is built for it first. However, the safest way to use sex toys is to put a condom on the toy. If one of your sexual partners has unprotected sex with other people, you should stop having sex with that person. Doing so will lower your risk of contracting the disease. If you suspect a partner may be having unprotected sex with others, do not hesitate to cease having sex with him or her. It is better to lose a sexual partner than to risk your health.


Talk about something going on with school or work. Comment on something happening around you. Comment on something about them. Ask a question. Ask for help. Ask about their history. Talk about a current event. Talk about a movie or TV show. Compliment them! Be honest.

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

You can start a conversation by talking about what you're guaranteed to have in common: school or work (depending on how you know each other).  "Have you taken Math with Heiser? I'm trying to figure out if I want to take it next semester." "Did you hear that they're going to remodel the break room? I'm holding out for a new TV. What about you?" You can also comment on something that's happening nearby, while you're standing near each other. Just be sure it isn't critical of or insulting to other people (since this will give your crush the wrong impression of what you're like).  "Did you see that? I wish more people were considerate like that these days. It's so nice to see." "Such a shame how he's talking to her. She deserves more respect. She works really hard." Comment on something that they're wearing, asking a question about it's origin or story. Try to look for things that they're clearly proud of, such as badge pins, nice shoes, or tee shirts with band logos.  "That's a cool Burning Man tee. Have you ever gone? I've always wanted to go." "Sweet Adventure Time button. Who's your favorite character?" Ask them a question about something that you think they might know about. This is a good way to get yourself talking to them, but the subject will usually need to be changed pretty quickly if you want a conversation to keep going.  "Do you know where the Smith Building is?" "Do you know how to open this? I've been struggling with it but I can't tell if I'm dumb or just have really weak wrists." Ask them for a tiny favor, something that takes less than a minute of their time. People like to feel useful and it will give you a way to start a conversation with positive feelings.  "I don't suppose you could help me reach the stuff on the upper shelf? None of these chairs are safe to stand on." "Can you hold this coffee for a second while I put this away? I don't want it to spill." Ask them about how or why they're in a specific place. For example, if you're at a party, ask how they know the host. If you're at...


Talk about something that's happening. Ask her a question. Compliment her. "Remember" or "know" her. Be straight forward.

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

Probably the most natural way to start a conversation with a woman is to comment on something that's happening around you. See someone do something nice for someone else? "Man, you don't see enough of that these days." Someone out on the dance floor making a fool of himself? "See, that's exactly why I'm not out there dancing." Be friendly and be casual. It's as simple as that. Another good way to break into a conversation with a woman is to ask her a question. Avoid the cliché "Do you know what time it is?" because they'll know what you're really after and it makes you seem sleazy. Again, approach it just like starting a conversation with anyone else.  If you're at a restaurant: "I just can't decide what to eat tonight so I'm leaving it up to fate: what do you recommend for dinner?" If you're out where there's music: "Do you know what song this is? I don't normally listen to this kind of music, but I really like this song." If you're at school: "Do you know where the ______ building is?" ..but not on what she expects. If she's even remotely attractive, she probably has a guy hitting on at least every time she goes out. You're just going to be one more weirdo to avoid unless you set yourself apart. Don't compliment her appearance. Instead, compliment her on something she doesn't expect but will appreciate. If she has buttons on her bag, an item that's clearly hand made, or a book you read and enjoyed, these are better sources for compliments because you're complimenting something that's uniquely her instead of what might as well be just about any woman's hair or eyes. Let her catch you looking at her with a confused expression. After a minute or so, go up to her and say something like, "I'm really sorry, but I just can't remember your name. I know I've met you before, but I can't figure out where. I didn't want to be rude and have you think I was ignoring you." Play it off that you just wanted to come over for a quick hello, maybe play a short game of figuring out where you've met before, and then seem about...


Talk about what is acceptable and not acceptable in the relationship. Discuss how often you will communicate with each other. Commit to trusting each other. Discuss a feasible deadline.

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

Long-distance relationships come with a variety of challenges. One of the biggest is temptation. Establish with your partner at the beginning of the coupledom what you will and won’t tolerate, to avoid any question later on.  For instance, decide if seeing other people or going on dates with others is something you’re comfortable with. Make your feelings about this well-known if you decide to pursue a long- distance relationship. If you don’t, you may end up with a broken heart.  Remember that it is not all or nothing. You might consider a lead in period of dating others, and set a date in the future after which you will not date other people. If you’re like many, not hearing from your significant other for a few weeks is going to create some friction. However, hearing from them constantly throughout the day can create the idea that trust is lacking. Decide from the start how often you want to communicate with each other, and stick to that commitment. For instance, you can set a rule that you should text each other each day to check in and you must speak on the phone at least twice a week. Deciding these rules now can prevent you from getting hurt or hurting your partner by making it seem like they aren’t a priority. Long-distance relationships are built on trust. You have to be able to trust the person in order to make it work. If you constantly feel like you are defending yourself or are being questioned about your intentions, or vice versa, you likely aren’t going to have a lasting relationship. Make a rule that you are going to trust each other 100 percent. Decide that you are going to take the person’s word for it, and you’re not going to get insecure about how the other person feels. You may not be ready to handle a long-distance relationship if you can’t stick to these guidelines. Chances are you don’t want to stay in a long-distance relationship for the rest of your life. Decide how long you are going to be apart from the beginning. Having an end goal of living near each other can give you hope when...


Talk about what occurred. Make sure you get all your stuff. Go to work separately.

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

Make sure you both understand what occurred, and what each other's future intentions are. Be clear and direct with each other, as you don’t want the other person to start making dinner plans for two when you were just looking for a fling. Talking about the situation openly and in depth outside of the workplace will ease uncomfortably ambiguous moments in the office.  If you don’t think it’s a good idea to date, say so. If this is someone you work closely with, that might be a good reason to curtail the relationship and you can comfortably do so by saying something like, “I don’t want this to get in the way of our professional relationship." If you don’t work closely together, you can be more direct and say that you aren’t really interested in taking things further. If one of you left early, and you didn’t get a chance to talk, try to have a brief private meeting at the office. You should always be respectful when talking to your partner. About half of all women, and 20 percent of all men, will experience negative feelings about themselves after a one night stand, usually shame for what they did or feeling that they’ve been used for sex. Avoid statements that can be misconstrued, like "I can't believe we did that," or "I've made a huge mistake." Or, if it was at your place, that your co-worker gets all of her or her stuff. You don’t want someone to have forgotten something, and need to go back later to pick it up. It’s going to be awkward enough at work the next day, you don’t want to compound the embarrassment by having to see each other after work again. This also means not “accidentally” leaving something that you need to pick up later. If you think you want your one night stand to turn into something more, that is not the way to go about it. You want to minimize gossip, or at least avoid drawing attention to what happened. Avoid carpooling or taking the same train into the office so that you can arrive at different times.


Talk about what they'll lose. Draw on their past actions. Let them know everyone else is doing it. Use “we”. Ask for a mile when you really want just an inch. Talk about the counterargument. Lean on ethos, pathos, and logos.

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

People are more persuadable when they're confronted with loss, rather than gain. Think about it: say someone comes up to you and says you're going to lose your favorite shirt. You'd be a little taken aback. On the other hand, they could say you're going to get your new favorite shirt. Not as convincing, huh? We become attached to what we already have, even if the gain is the same. This idea has been well-researched. In fact, there was a recent study in which a group of businessmen was presented with a proposal for an IT project. Twice as many of the men approved the proposal if the company was predicted to lose $500,000 if the proposal wasn't accepted, compared with a scenario that predicted the project would lead to a profit of $500,000.” People feel the need to remain consistent with their past actions. If they believe they're a good person and have examples in their memory of that, they will continue to strive to be a good person. Therefore, people are easier to persuade to behave in certain ways if they have acted that way before. Know your audience – who has done what you're looking for someone to do? The more you know your audience, the better off you'll be. Let's say you're back to helping out your daughter with her fundraiser. You know that your friend Nguyen donated to Henry's son's fundraiser in the spring. Won't he donate to your daughter's, too, perhaps? Have you heard of the Asch conformity study? A group of people were in a room, where only one didn't know what was going on. They were shown a series of lines, some super short, some quite long. The group in on the study all agreed that the short lines were the longest – and the dumbfounded one nearly always agreed. In short, humans conform under pressure. If everyone else is doing it, they'll want to do it, too. Tell whomever you're talking to you that a ton of people are already doing it – including people they know, like, and respect. That's the kicker – if they respect the people doing it, they'll be less likely to question their judgment. The...


Talk about why you self-harm. Do not share graphic details or photos. Say why you told them. Show that you accept yourself. Be prepared for shock, anger, and sadness. Expect a demand that you stop. Anticipate misconceptions. Stay in charge of the conversation. Keep it about you. Give them resources. Tell them how they can help you. Deal with your feelings afterwards.

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

The cutting is not the issue but rather the emotions underneath that the cutting helps you deal with. Getting to the cause of the behaviour can help you and your confidant move forward. Be as open as you can about how you feel and why you cut. Gaining their understanding will go a long way in ensuring you have the support you need. You want them to understand but not be scared or tune out because it is difficult for them to hear. You may need to go into more detail about your self-harm practices if you are telling your doctor or therapist. These professionals will need these insights to better help you cope. Some people admit self-harm because they feel lonely and isolated and do not want to go through it alone anymore. Some people fear their self-harm is getting worse and want help. Telling your friend why you are talking about it now will help them understand how you are feeling.  You might have a holiday coming up or want to be intimate with someone but are afraid of your scars showing for the first time. Maybe someone else found out and is threatening to tell your parents so you want to tell them first. Maybe you didn’t tell them before because you were afraid of being labelled or of having your one way of coping taken away from you. It will make your friend’s acceptance easier if they see that you have some self-awareness around your self-harm choices, why you do it, and why you are telling them about it. Don’t be apologetic. You aren’t telling them to upset them and you aren’t self-harming to upset them. When you come out to someone about self-harm, their first instinctive reaction might be anger, shock, fear, embarrassment, guilt, or sadness. Remember this is because they care about you.  First reactions are not always an indication of how someone supportive will be. Your friend might react poorly but this isn’t a reflection on you but rather of their own coping skills and emotions. Expect that your confidant may need some time to digest this information. Your friend may demand that you stop...
