Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find your location on a map to identify which redwoods are common to that area. Look near areas that get a lot of rain or have a moist environment. Look up nearby Redwoods. Look for the tallest trees.

Answer: Redwoods do not grow everywhere, so make sure to look only in the areas where they are found. Giant Redwoods were first discovered in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and can be found in National Parks throughout California. Coast Redwoods are the tallest redwoods and are only found along the California coastline. Dawn Redwoods are primarily located in remote areas of China. Redwoods need near constant water and moisture to grow. A foggy summer is also good for Redwoods. It protects them from severe sunlight and keeps the tree moist. Redwoods live for a long time, so you can likely find places where the trees grow easily. Ask your local park service about nearby Redwoods. They can point you to places where Redwoods grow. Find Redwoods online. Redwoods are protected trees in many areas since they are so old. You can easily find where they may be located on the Internet.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: See a doctor if you have persistent back pain. Do not crack your back too often. Opt for stretches over cracking you back

Answer: Cracking your back can temporarily relieve back pain. However, persistent back pain should be evaluated by a medical professional. Back pain can come in response to sitting in an uncomfortable position or strain during exercise. In most cases, it goes away on its own with time. However, back pain that persists beyond a few weeks should be evaluated by a doctor. Depending on the cause of your back pain, your doctor will recommend a treatment. Back pain is usually treated with things like physical therapy and possibly medication. In rare cases, surgery may be required for back pain. Cracking your back can be fine once in a while to alleviate discomfort. However, cracking your back constantly can unnecessarily stretch out the muscles in your back. This can result in a condition known as hyper-mobility. If you feel the need to constantly crack your back due to pain, see a doctor instead of repeatedly cracking your back. . Stretching is usually better than cracking your back to alleviate mild pain. To stretch your back, flex forward and then backwards. Then, bend from side to side. This should relieve some tension.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find an effective study method. Be an active learner. Practice some mental concentration strategies. Allow for some time to worry. Set study goals. Study with short breaks.

Answer: Finding an effective study method that suits you can help you stay concentrated while studying. Again, every person studies differently, so you will have to experiment and find a method that works best for you to maintain focus. Essentially, the more ways you can experience and interact with what you're learning, the better your chances will be of staying on task and absorbing what you're reviewing. Sometimes, simply reviewing readings, notes, or quizzes can serve as an effective way to study, but some other study methods include: Making notecards. For vocabulary or academic terms, making notecards and flashcards and repeatedly reviewing them can help with memorizing words, terms, and concepts. Drawing. Some studying requires reviewing structures and diagrams. Copying those diagrams and structures, and drawing them yourself allows you to create and visualize what it is you're trying to study, therefore making it more memorable. Creating an outline. Creating an outline may help with mapping out bigger concepts including the smaller details. It can also help create visual sections and groupings of information that may help recalling details when exam time approaches. Using elaborative interrogation. Elaborative interrogation is basically producing an explanation for why something you're learning is true. It's like you coming up with a defensive reason for why a fact or statement is important. You could also use this method to talk about concepts out loud and make yourself more familiar with the material by justifying and explaining it's significance. When reading or listening to a lecture, try to engage with the material. This means instead of just being present with the material, challenge it and yourself. Ask questions about what is being lectured, connect the material to your real life, compare it with other information you have learned throughout your life and discuss and explain this new material to other people. Actively participating with your studies makes the material more meaningful and able to hold your interest, which, in turn, makes concentrating on it easier. Working on improving your concentration takes time and patience. After practicing some of these strategies, you'll probably begin to see improvement within days. Some concentration strategies include: Be here now. This simple and effective strategy helps bring back your wandering mind to the task at hand: When you become aware of the fact that your thoughts are no longer on your studies, say to yourself, "Be here now," and try to reign in your wandering thoughts, and focus back on your study material. For example, you're in class and your attention strays from the lecture to the fact that you're craving coffee and the last bagel at the cafe is probably gone by now. As you say to yourself, "Be here now," you fix your attention back to the lecture, and keep it there for as long as you can. Keep track of your mental wanderings. Mark down every time you catch your mind drifting away from what you should be concentrating on. As you get better and better with bringing yourself back to the present task, the number of times you break concentration should be less and less. Research has shown that when people put aside a designated time to worry and think about things that stress them out, people worry 35% less within four weeks. That proves that when you let yourself worry and think about things during a certain amount of time, you spend less time worrying and getting distracted when you should be concentrating on other things. If you ever find yourself worrying about something while you're trying to focus and concentrate, remember that you have a special time to worry about things. You can even try the "be here now" method to bring yourself back to concentrating. For example, give yourself a half hour before you start studying to worry about upcoming exams, your family, or whatever else is on your mind. Worry during this elected time so when you have to study, you can put all your attention and focus on doing that. While the subjects you need to study might not be the most interesting topics, you can shift your perspective while studying to make concentrating easier. By setting goals for yourself, you change your studying experience from having to "get through," the subject, to reaching check points and continually succeeding in progressing with your study session. For example, instead of having the mentality of, "I have to study all of chapter 6 tonight," set a goal for yourself with something like, "I will study sections 1-3 by 4:30, and then take a walking break." That way, conquering a study session transforms from a large, daunting task, to a smaller, more achievable portions. This sectional break up of study time increasing your willingness to concentrate and reach your studying goal. Normally, studying for about an hour at a time and then taking a 5-10 minute break is the most effectual study schedule to maintain concentration on a given task. Taking a short break gives your mind time to relax, so it can be ready to stay productive and absorb information. Move around. Get up and stretch after sitting for about an hour. You could do some yoga, push ups, or any other kind of physical activity to get your blood pumping. These short breaks in studying will make the time you spend studying more productive and attentive.
