Write an article based on this "Rehearse beforehand. Use "I" statements. Avoid counter-criticism. Don't take things personally."
article: There is a big difference between being confrontational and expressing yourself honestly and assertively. One is aggressive, the other is calm but firm. If you have problems with being confrontational, give yourself the best chance to stay calm by practicing. Know what you want to say beforehand. Think of the points that you want to get across to others. Say them out loud or write them down so that they are imprinted in your memory. Practice until you have your points planned out like a script. This way, you can check yourself if you get derailed and come back to the script. Another good way to be assertive but not confrontational is to use "I" statements. "I" statements let you speak for yourself that is, they express your thoughts and opinions without coming off as accusatory or putting words into someone else's mouth. Favor these sentences rather than those starting with "you." For instance, say something like "I'm not inclined to agree" rather than "You're wrong." Or, "I feel under pressure right now" rather than "You're always attacking me." "I" statements are also useful in expressing your wants or desires, i.e. "I'd like some help around the house" instead of "You never help me with housework." Or, "I would appreciate more support from you" rather than "You only look out for yourself." To become less confrontational, you will need to develop the ability to take and give feedback respectfully. This can take self-control and openness. More than anything, avoid the temptation to lash out and to criticize when a friend, loved one, or co-worker is trying to give you feedback. Resist the urge to criticize a person who is giving you feedback or an opinion, i.e. "You're just being a jerk, Tim" or "I can't believe that you, of all people, would say that to me." Also try to avoid deflecting criticism back onto a person, i.e. "What are you talking about, Jim, you do the same thing all the time!" Avoiding confrontation will require you to be more patient and less reactive. Don't immediately read criticism as an attack and try to give your friends, peers, and loved ones the benefit of the doubt. They are most likely not trying to provoke you. Ask yourself why you feel under attack. Is it because you feel offended? Do you feel ganged up on? Are you lashing out because of frustration? Think a bit about who is giving you feedback. Family members and loved ones will probably not attack you but are trying to help out of love.

Write an article based on this "Be direct in the subject line of your email . Use your student email address. Address them formally by name. Write a handwritten note or card. Send feedback online through your university's website."
article: Include a subject so that the professor sees the email and knows what it's about. If you leave the subject line empty, they might miss the email or think you want something or have a question. Make it clear from the start that the email is to express your gratitude. Write a simple, "Thanks" or, "Thank you" as the subject line. Avoid using your personal email address when sending something to your professor. Using your student email address is more formal and helps the professor identify you easily. It's also more professional and appropriate, which can save you some embarrassment if you have a silly or unique email address. Double check to make sure you're sending your email from the right account. Don't start off by writing, "Hey" or getting right to the email. Take a moment to address your professor. It's typically most appropriate to address them as they ask to be addressed in class, for example, "Professor Hasan" or "Doctor Abel." Don't be overly informal with them by calling them by their first name or not addressing them at all. Stick to how they prefer to be called by students. A handwritten card may be seen as more thoughtful than an email. While not as fast as sending an email, it shows that you put time and effort into your thank you. It also provides a touch of personalization. Give your thank you note to your professor at the end of term or slip it under their office door. Some colleges and universities have a way to write a letter of thanks to a professor online. If your school offers this service, take advantage of it. Often, you can leave a note of thanks anonymously.

article:
While your doctor may recommend natural methods to help control your asthma, don't try any remedies without consulting them first. They will need to assess how severe your symptoms are and whether the treatments you want to try are likely to be safe or effective for you. Some herbs, vitamins, and dietary supplements can interact badly with medications you may be taking. Always tell your doctor about any medications or supplements you are currently using.
