Problem: Article: Think about positive qualities and characteristics that you like about the person, such as humor, loyalty, compassion, or creativity. Think of specific examples because those examples will give you a glimpse into your future relationship. Pay attention to whether or not the person is trustworthy. Notice if the person is happy for you when good things happen in your life. How the person interacts with other people and whether or not they are kind is important. Most people find this type of person attractive because if they are kind to others they will likely be kind to you. Examples of altruism is volunteering to help those less fortunate and being available to help friends. Participating in activities together will give you an opportunity to figure out whether or not you like the person and also what you like about them. Actively listen to the person and ask open-ended questions that require them to really open up and talk. For example, you can ask: "Tell me about your childhood and how you became the person you are today." Participating in a stressful task together is known to build a bond. Consider organizing a volunteer project, or doing something new and exciting together, such as rock climbing or rafting. People who go through a stressful experience together tend to form stronger relationships, but if the event is too overwhelming it may have the opposite effect.
Summary: Examine the person's character. Think about the person's altruism. Spend quality time together. Build a bond.

Problem: Article: You should identify why you are writing in the first paragraph of your letter. If you don't do this right off, the recipient might be confused and set your letter aside. Remember to get right to the point. For example, you can write, "I am writing to ask you to vote 'No' on the upcoming Senate bill authorizing drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. I believe drilling will cause serious harm to the environment." Generally, you will probably send a letter to an important person because you want to change their mind about something. Accordingly, you need to give them a reason to see the issue the way you see it. This might mean you need to do some research. Refer to books or articles by name. Cite facts, statistics, or anecdotes to support your argument. If you are relying on personal observation, then include key detailswho, what, where, when, etc. If you have more than one reason for your position, then develop each in separate paragraphs. This type of organization makes it easier for the reader to follow along. If you aren't writing a letter to argue, then simply include the bulk of the information you want to convey in the body of the letter. Remember that you are writing a letter, not a master's thesis. Accordingly, you might want to point the reader in the direction of where they can find more fully-developed arguments. For example, you can include the address to a website where the recipient can find additional information. You can also mention the names of books or articles on the subject. It is particularly effective to mention common counter-arguments and then rebut them. Only mention the strongest counter-arguments but provide a reason why the reader should not give these arguments too much weight. For example, you can argue that a counter-argument is based on faulty data. You might write something like, "Supporters of Arctic drilling argue that abundant oil exists beneath the surface. However, newer data has cast doubt on those claims." Alternately, you could argue that the counter-argument is mistaken. For example, you could write, "Preserving the Arctic will not result in higher oil costs. In fact, newer wells in Texas and Oklahoma can make up the difference." You convey important information through tone. Tone is hard to define, but you hear tone when people are speaking. Someone can say, "That's crazy" in a humorous tone or in a fearful one. Tone also exists when we write. You want to maintain a professional tone when addressing someone important. Avoid using contractions, which are too casual. Write "I am" instead of "I'm." Don't use slang or jargon. Write "I was disturbed" instead of "I was freaking out." Be polite and respectful. Don't insult someone or call them names. This can be difficult, especially if you are writing a letter because you want to argue. Your sentences should be as forceful as possible. Accordingly, write in the active voice. Active sentences are clearer and usually simpler than passive voice sentences. Compare the following: Passive voice: "This issue was already decided ten years ago." In this sentence, someone decided the issuebut you don't know who. Active voice: "Congress decided this issue ten years ago." With an active voice sentence, you know exactly who the subject is.
Summary: Explain why you are writing. Support your argument. Direct the reader to additional supporting information. Address counter-arguments. Use an appropriate tone. Write in the active voice.

Problem: Article: B vitamins may help to reduce the effects of stress, which may include preventing headaches. Try taking a daily B-complex multivitamin to see if this helps to reduce the number and intensity of your barometric pressure headaches. Purchase a small barometer that you can install at home. Pay attention to whether the pressure drops or rises suddenly before you develop a headache. Then in the future, take preventative headache medication at the first sign that the pressure is changing quickly. Check to see if your cell phone has a barometer app. This can alert you if the pressure begins to rise or drop. It's also a good idea to watch the weather predictions for pressure changes. Because dehydration is a common headache trigger and hydration is key in managing a headache, men should drink 15 cups (3,500ml) of water a day while women should drink 11 cups (2,600ml). Staying hydrated is especially important if you notice that increased humidity triggers your headaches. Magnesium can help to treat and prevent headaches because it promotes muscle relaxation. If you know the weather will be changing, include magnesium in your diet or take a supplement. Magnesium can block pain receptors in the brain and prevent blood vessels from narrowing in the brain. If you want to supplement, ask your doctor before you begin taking a daily 400 to 500 mg magnesium citrate supplement. To get magnesium from your diet, eat more: Dark leafy greens Fish Soybeans Avocado Bananas If you've noticed that bright light, glare, or sensitivity to fluorescent lights triggers your headache or makes it worse, pay attention to weather changes. For example, if the weather has been overcast and a bright, sunny day is predicted, be prepared to take medication, stay indoors, or wear sunglasses. Extreme changes in weather can also bring changes to humidity, pressure, and temperature which can affect your headaches.
Summary:
Take a vitamin B-complex. Buy a barometer to monitor changes in air pressure. Drink more water than usual. Eat magnesium-rich foods. Avoid glare and sudden changes in lighting.
