Write an article based on this "Consider why you want to write to a pen pal. Think about your own interests and background. Use the web to find a pen pal."
article: Are you doing research on a certain topic? Practicing a foreign language? Learning more about life and culture in another land? Depending on your interests and purpose in writing to a pen pal, you will make different choices about who you opt to connect with. For instance, if you're interested in learning German, you should connect with a pen pal from Germany, Austria, or a German speaker in another country. If you're interested in learning more about Japan, you should identify pen pals in Japan who can share their insights into Japanese society. If you're interested in simply making a friend, it might be beneficial to write to someone with whom you share some common ground. Try to write to someone who is about your age and has similar interests. Find pen pals who you think are interesting and can connect with. For instance, if you're a 17-year-old punk rocker, you'll be unlikely to connect with a 45-year-old businessman. There are pen pal clubs that cater to specific groups, such as just college students or just teen girls. This can help you find a pen pal easier. Don't be afraid to write with someone different than you. For example, instead of finding another 17-year-old punk rocker, you could find a 16-year-old ballet dancer. There are many forums and websites available which connect people to pen pals both at home and abroad. Pen Pal World, Penpals Now, and Letter Writers Alliance are just some of the many sites which facilitate letter writing connections. Some services require fees while others are free. Both can provide good pen pals, but check before you get too excited about the sign-up process.

Write an article based on this "Make a positive first impression. Provide an attractive setting. Look for ways to be helpful. Stress staff courtesy. Provide clean, comfortable rooms. Follow up on guest satisfaction."
article: Consider your guests' first contact with your hotel and do what you can to make that as positive as possible. If you have parking attendants, they should greet guests warmly and treat the cars with respect. If you can afford a doorman, guests should be welcomed and guided in to the hotel lobby. Your desk clerks should always be attentive and friendly. As the manager, you need to impress the importance of the first impression on all your staff. You always need to look at your hotel with the eyes of your guests. Ask yourself if it looks attractive, and find ways to improve it. You may need to hire a groundskeeper or landscaper. You should have a cleaning staff, and supervise their work so they meet your standards. Ensure that all fixtures are working and up to current expectations. You may be limited by your location, but you can always do something to make your hotel attractive. If you are in the middle of a large city, you obviously cannot provide an attractive front lawn. Even so, you can bring potted plants and indoor decorative trees to your lobby to provide a fresh appearance. Small touches, like providing artwork for the guestrooms and public areas, can greatly improve the appearance of any hotel. Guests will remember people who go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. This may include opening a door, holding an elevator, or carrying luggage into the room. As the manager, you can hire the appropriate staff to provide services. If the hotel budget does not include such staff as bellhops and doormen, you can still encourage your staff to be as helpful as possible. Your staff need to treat all customers with courtesy and respect. Managing a hotel is a service industry, and you and your employees need to realize that you are there to serve the guests. Even when a guest is rude, inappropriate or demanding, the staff needs to be respectful. Encourage staff to listen to what a guest says rather than how the guest says it. A rude or demanding attitude is generally the guest's way of expressing that something is wrong. Find the source of the problem and correct it. Remember that an apology goes a long way. Customers will expect the rooms they stay in to be clean and well arranged. Work with your cleaning staff regularly to make sure that rooms are kept up to your standards. Work with the owners or higher management to make any overall changes to the structure or style of the rooms. Consider what extra amenities you can provide in the rooms. For example, guests commonly expect color television. But you may be able to expand their cable or satellite access. Some hotels provide coffee makers or even microwave ovens and small refrigerators in the rooms. These can add to your guests' comfort. Hotel guests appreciate attention and knowing that they are being looked after. You may want to institute a formal system for feedback, such as a questionnaire card for guests to complete in their rooms. You should also informally just greet your guests and ask, "How is everything going? Is there anything else we can do for you?" Simple attention like that goes a long way toward customer satisfaction.

Set the desktop as the save location. Enter a file name. Click Save. Click Start Encode. Wait for your DVD to finish ripping. Eject the DVD."

Place the DVD logo side-up in the DVD reader to do this. Your computer will immediately begin reading the DVD. If any auto-play windows open after you insert the DVD into your computer, close them before continuing. Double-click the HandBrake icon, which resembles a tropical drink next to a pineapple. Click Open Source in the upper-left side of the HandBrake window, then click your DVD's name in the pop-out menu that appears. HandBrake will begin reading your DVD. The pop-out menu may open automatically when you open HandBrake. This will take several minutes, so just make sure that your computer is charged (or plugged in) and in a well-ventilated area. Your computer's DVD drive will become fairly warm from this point until you're done burning the copy DVD, so it's important to make sure that your computer stays in an area where it can vent. It's in the lower-right corner of HandBrake (Windows) or on the right side of HandBrake (Mac). Doing so opens a new window. Click the Desktop folder on the left side of the window (you may first have to scroll up to find it). This will make the DVD's file easier to find later. On a Mac, click the "Where" drop-down box in the middle of the window, then click Desktop in the resulting drop-down menu. Type whatever you want to name the ripped file into the "File name" or "Name" text box. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so will set a save location for your ripped DVD file.

By default, HandBrake will rip the DVD twice and select the highest-quality version, so this process can take upward of an hour (or more) for a feature-length film. Closing background programs (e.g., video players, web browsers, etc.) while your DVD is burning may speed up the ripping process. Press the "Eject" button on your DVD player's lid. This will remove the disc. At this point, you're ready to begin burning the MP4 file onto a DVD. If you're using an older Mac, you'll instead press the ⏏️ Eject key.
