Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider the other point of view. Maintain a positive attitude. Accept being overlooked. Remind yourself.

Answer: No matter how strange or frustrating someone's actions may seem, everyone has his or her own set of circumstances. Take these circumstances into consideration and think about how things must seem from that person's perspective as a result. For instance, if you're playing a game with someone who has never played it before, don't make fun of that person for having a hard time understanding the rules. The experience might be frustrating or embarrassing for that person, so it would be much kinder to help than to tease. Similarly, if you accidentally bump into someone and that person yells at you for it, pause and tell yourself that he or she might have reasons for being irritable that you don't know about. Instead of yelling back, a better option would be to apologize and politely excuse yourself. Ideally, you should try to approach life with an attitude of optimism and subtle confidence. People tend to react better to those who can appreciate themselves and the world around them. It might sound cliche, but count your blessings when you feel tempted to dwell on the negative things going on in your life. While self-confidence is a good trait to have, you should avoid seeming arrogant. A positive self-image is all about having good feelings for yourself. Arrogance means viewing your own self as being better or more important than those around you. Be positive when people turn to you for encouragement, too. Instead of dwelling on everything that could go wrong, try to show that person how things could go right. There are times when your sweet, kind acts may go unrecognized. Learn to accept those occurrences without making a big fuss over being unnoticed. It's natural to want credit for the good you do, but if you're doing good only for the sake of getting attention, you have the wrong sort of motive. Do good merely because it's the right thing to do. Even this has its limits, though. Don't let others abuse or mistreat you. If you don't stand up for yourself, you might end up looking like a weakling instead of a strong sweetheart. When people are rude to you, look at their behavior as a reminder of what not to do. In doing so, you can reaffirm your own actions and stop yourself from reacting to the situation poorly. Acknowledge positive examples to follow, too. When you see someone do something sweet for another person, make a mental note of it and try to repeat a similar action later on.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check the pollen count. Plan outdoors activities for low-pollen times. Stay indoors when it's very windy. Plan your day in advance. Take allergy medicine.

Answer: Allergy websites and most local weather reports often provide a pollen count for the day or week. A high pollen count means that there is an especially large amount of pollen in the air that day. This is a valuable source of information for those prone to allergy. If high pollen counts are forecasted, start taking allergy medications before your symptoms start. Pollen count generally increases around mid-spring and stays high throughout the summer. However, different trees, grasses and blossoms can be especially allergy-producing at different times of the year. Find out what varieties of trees, plants and grasses are growing around you, and what time of year they tend to pollinate. You can research your area on the internet or ask a local garden store or landscape professional. Plan any hikes, camping trips, and major gardening projects for lower-pollen times. Pollen levels tend to spike in the early morning. When possible, schedule outdoor activities for late morning or, better yet, midday. If you live in the southern hemisphere, watch for higher pollen count during October to March for grasses and August to March for tree pollens. Wind carries pollen quickly and often from far away. Even if you don't have trees or grasses in your immediate area, a strong wind can blow pollen in from a great distance. Silver Birch pollen, for instance, is very small and is easily transported for long distances by wind. Pollen levels can be especially high on hot, dry, windy days. This is especially important if you know you're going to be in high-pollen areas like parks and gardens. Gardens, parks, forests, and meadows are simply the areas with the highest concentration of pollen, so avoid them when you can. But if you absolutely have to attend an event such as a garden wedding at the height of the pollen season, prepare for the day accordingly. Take allergy medicine in advance, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, or accessorize with a head scarf to keep pollen out of your hair. There are numerous over-the-counter allergy medications like Claritin, but it's still wise to speak with your doctor about your allergies. They can suggest the best allergy medication for you, and explain possible side effects. Keep your allergy medicine with you so you can take it right when symptoms start. Preferably, however, take allergy medicine before symptoms start - go ahead with your medicine when the pollen count is high or you know you'll be exposed to a lot of pollen throughout your day.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Search for online courses. Sign up with free programs to learn vocabulary. Do a Spanish lesson every day. Contribute to Spanish blogs and forums. Practice speaking.

Answer: There are a number of online courses available that can help you learn Spanish as well as other languages. Many of them are free, while others charge a small monthly subscription fee. Many websites, such as Memrise and Duolingo, have mobile apps that allow you to take your learning with you wherever you go. This can make it easier to get in some practice with Spanish every day. Software programs, such as Rosetta Stone, can teach you Spanish relatively quickly. Rosetta Stone has been used by the U.S. State Department to enable new diplomats to learn a language quickly. If you want to learn Spanish fast, vocabulary words can help you get there faster than trying to memorize abstract grammar rules or spending time conjugating verbs. For example, Memrise has a specific course called "First 5,000 words in Spanish." Taking this course can greatly expand your vocabulary and give you more words to use if you practice diligently. These programs are only as good as the effort you put into them. While you can learn a lot of words using online programs or mobile apps, you still need to supplement them with conversation and other immersion techniques. Otherwise you just know a bunch of Spanish words but don't have the ability to put them together. If you're trying to learn a new language through self-study, you must be diligent. Practicing every day will keep the Spanish words and phrases you learn fresh in your mind. All you need is a few minutes a day. Typically you'll learn fastest if you have 20 or 30 minutes each day that you can dedicate to language learning. Spend half your time reviewing and reinforcing what you've already learned, and then try to pick up something new. If the website you use has forums for members, these can be a good way to practice your Spanish as well as ask questions and get tips from other users who are also trying to learn Spanish. Some online programs and mobile apps have ways to connect you with other users so you can practice your conversation skills. Otherwise, talk to friends and neighbors to find someone willing to help you practice. Some apps may have voice recognition software that enables you to get some practice speaking, but it's still no match for actual conversation. If you don't know anybody you can talk to in Spanish, talk to yourself, or sing in the shower. These will help you get better with pronunciation and word recall.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get enough sleep. Sleep on your side. Prop your head on a pillow. Relax once you get into bed. Tell your doctor if you have sleep apnea.

Answer:
Getting enough sleep is important in order for your body to heal itself when you have a cold. Studies show that sleep deprivation can weaken the immune system, increase the production of stress hormones, put you at higher risk for chronic disease, and lower life expectancy. Make sure you get quality sleep by: Avoiding caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and sugary drinks 4 to 6 hours before sleeping. These can act as a stimulant to keep you awake. Creating a quiet, dark, and cool environment. Use heavy curtains or an eye mask to block light, a powerful cue that tells the brain that it's time to wake up. Keep the temperature comfortably coolbetween 65 and 75F (18 and 24C)and the room well ventilated. Avoiding activities like work or exercise 3 to 4 hours before sleeping. Physically and psychologically stressful activities can make your body secrete the stress hormone cortisol, which is associated with increasing alertness. Having a regular sleep schedule, which creates better quality and consistent sleep. Try to set a routine by going to bed early and waking up early to set your body's internal clock. If you have a cold or nasal congestion, try to lie on the side that is least congested. This might allow the mucus to drain. Sleeping on your side, especially if you have a cold, flu, or ear or nasal infection, can help you breathe more comfortably, leading to a better night's sleep. Avoid sleeping on your stomach, since this can obstruct breathing and cause unnecessary stress. If you have trouble breathing, try to prop your head up on a pillow to improve airflow and keep mucus from blocking your sinuses. The pillow for your head should support the natural curve of your neck and be comfortable. If your pillow is too high, it can put your neck into a position that causes muscle strain on your back, neck, and shoulders. Instead, your pillow should be adjustable to let you to sleep in different positions. If you sleep on your side, a firm pillow between your knees will prevent your upper leg from pulling your spine out of alignment. This also reduces stress on your hips and lower back. Pull your knees up slightly toward your chest. A rolled towel or small pillow under your waist may also help support the curve of your spine. If you have trouble falling asleep, relaxation techniques can help relieve physical and psychological stress. Once you have found the things that help you relax, make them into a bedtime ritual. To help yourself relax, try reading a book, listening to calm music, or practicing breathing exercises. You may get frustrated if you struggle to fall asleep. If you are awake for more than 20 minutes in bed, move to a different part of the house without bright lights. Do something relaxing for a while, until you begin to feel tired, and then come back to bed. If you have frequently interrupted breathing during sleep, also known as obstructive sleep apnea, ask your doctor for treatment options. Your doctor may recommend surgery or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). CPAP is a common therapy for sleep apnea, which includes a small machine that supplies constant and steady air pressure, a hose, and a mask or nose piece. Some CPAP devices even come with a heated humidifier to help with a dry, stuffy nose.
