article: The connections in your brain that create short-term memory can be strengthened if you keep mentally active. Things like doing crossword puzzles, playing a musical instrument, or even learning new routes between home and work can help with brain activity. Try a crossword once or day, either in the morning or in the evening. If you don't already know a musical instrument, consider taking lessons. If you already play (or sing) set aside a half hour or so a day to practice. Depression and stress can both contribute to short-term memory loss. By spending more time with your friends or family, you can ward off stress and depression, and therefore improve your short-term memory. Something as simple as a regular phone call, or meeting for lunch for can help with short-term memory loss. If you find that you have a hard time remembering what you read, or what you've studied, try to limit the number of distractions around you. Pick a quiet space to work in. Turn your phone's notifications off, or turn your phone on silent. The less distracted you are as you work, the more likely you are to improve your short-term memory. Scientists aren't sure why, but chewing gum while learning can increase activity in the area of the brain responsible for memory. While you're studying or working on an important project, chew a piece of gum. It could improve your ability to retain what you've learned! Make sure that you chew the same flavor of gum each time you study. When taking the exam, ask your teacher if you can chew gum. Use the same flavor. If you're worried about your ability to retain what someone says to you, try doodling while they talk! Doodling can actually help you focus on just two things what you're drawing and what someone else is saying. Just make sure you warn the person you're speaking to that you'll be doodling. For example, you can say something like "I find that doodling while I speak to someone helps me remember what we said later. Do you mind if I doodle while we chat?" You can doodle in meetings, too, just make sure you're being polite.

article: The best approach to teaching German depends a lot on whom you are teaching. Teaching adults, for instance, is different from teaching children. Ask yourself some of the following questions about your students and their circumstances: "How old are my students?" "Do they have any prior experience with learning German or other foreign languages?" "Do they have any family members or friends they can speak German with at home?" "Will I be teaching a large group of students, or working closely with individuals or small groups?" "What do my students hope to gain from this experience? Do they want to use German in casual conversation, or are they hoping to pass a graduate-level reading exam?" Traditionally, foreign languages have been taught with an emphasis on the rules of grammar and vocabulary, with lots of repetition and rote memorization. However, immersive or task-based approaches are becoming increasingly popular. Both approaches are useful, and which approach works best will depend a lot on the individual needs and learning styles of your students. Traditional methods that focus on grammar, syntax, and vocabulary may be best for students who want to focus on building their German reading proficiency. Some teachers and students may find it helpful to combine both methods. Immersive or task-based methods allow students to learn more naturally by jumping straight into using the language without worrying about rules or memorization. This approach may be most effective for students learning to speak and understand spoken German. Immersive or task-based teaching focuses on engaging the students through topic-focused conversation, activities, and play. For example, instead of giving your students a vocabulary list to memorize, you might start a unit on the human body in German by teaching them to sing "Kopf, Shulter, Knie und Fu" ("Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"). Before you start teaching German, look for materials that support the approach you're interested in. In addition to print textbooks, there are plenty of lesson plans, teaching tips, immersive learning communities, cultural resources, and other tools available online for German teachers. The University of South Dakota's library has put together a useful list of online resources for teaching German here: http://libguides.usd.edu/c.php?g=752831&p=5393272 For more tips and teaching tools, visit the website of the Goethe Institute: https://www.goethe.de/en/spr/unt.html

Write an article based on this "Gather ingredients and supplies to make doughnuts from pizza dough. Roll out the pizza dough. Pour vegetable oil into your saucepan. Fry the doughnuts and doughnut holes in the hot oil. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together."
article:
You will need the following: Leftover pizza dough 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon Vegetable oil for deep frying A two inch cookie cutter and a one inch cookie cutter A deep pot for frying You should do this on a lightly floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking to your table or counter. Roll the dough to a 1/2 inch thickness. Use the 2 inch cookie cutter to cut out rounds. Use the one inch cookie cutter to cut out the centers of each doughnut. After spacing your doughnuts, gather up the dough remnants and roll out the dough again, repeating until it is used up. This is what you will use to fry your doughnuts. It should be about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium heat on the stove until it reaches 375 degrees. You can check this with a food thermometer. Be careful, as hot oil can spit and burn you. Do these one or two at a time to prevent overcrowding in the pan. Fry them until they puff up but are still pale. This will take about 45 seconds per side. Transfer the doughnuts to a paper towel to drain when finished. You can use a slotted spoon to do this. This is what you will use to coat the doughnuts. Generously coat the doughnuts with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. You should coat the doughnuts twice for a full coating. Do this while they are still warm, as this will help the sugar to stick to the doughnuts. Alternatively, you can roll the doughnuts in sugar and chopped nuts or coconut. Eat the donuts while they are warm.
