The temperature will often determine the best time to take your dog walking. Earlier in the day or later in the evening are suitable times of day to walk your dog. Avoid high noon as the pavement may be too hot for your dog's feet. The best way to test if it is too hot is to place your bare hand on the pavement. If after only five seconds you have to remove your hand then chances are it is too hot. Along with poop bags and your clicker, carry a portable bowl and a bottle of water for your pet. Keeping your dog hydrated is important when walking for longer periods of time or during the hotter times of day. During summer months, it is extra important that your dog has plenty of water. Healthy and easy snacks to carry include: Strawberries Seedless watermelon Apple slices Blueberries Carrots Crushed ice for the hotter days Don't overdo it when getting your dog used to walking with you, especially if this is the first time on a collar and leash. There will be a lot of pulling and resistance which may wear the little one out. Find a shady spot to rest for a couple of minutes along the walk.

As soon as your teacher assigns the paper, read the guidelines and highlight anything that you do not understand. Ask your teacher to clarify the instructions if anything seems unclear or if you just don't understand the assignment. A critical essay assignment asks you to evaluate a book, an article, a movie, a painting, or some other type of text. In order to perform a critical analysis of any text, you need to become very familiar with the primary text. Get to know the text inside and out by reading and rereading it. If you have been asked to write about a visual text like a film or piece of art, watch the film multiple times or view the painting from various angles and distances. Taking notes as you read will help your to remember important aspects of the text, and it will also help you to think critically about the text. Keep some key questions in mind as you read and attempt to answer those questions through your notes. What is the text about? What are the main ideas? What is puzzling about the text? What is the purpose of this text? Does the text accomplish its purpose? If not, why not? Is so, how so? Don't: summarize the plot you should already be familiar with it.Do: jot down thoughts that may guide your paper: Does he mean __? Does this connect to __? After you have finished reading and taking notes on your text, look over your notes to determine what patterns are present in the text and what problems stand out to you. Try to identify a solution to one of the problems you have identified. For example, you may notice that Frankenstein's monster is often more likable than Doctor Frankenstein, and make an educated guess about why this is. Your solution to the problem should help you to develop a focus for your essay, but keep in mind that you do not need to have a solid argument about your text at this point. As you continue to think about the text, you will move closer to a focus and a thesis for your critical analysis essay. Don't: read the author's mind: Mary Shelley intended Frankenstein's monster to be more likable because...Do: phrase it as your own interpretation: Frankenstein's monster is more sympathetic than his creator, leading the reader to question who the true monster really is.

Being a travel agent is a sales job in part. However, most people want to feel like they know and trust their travel agent.

In other words, when you're networking and trying to gain new customers, spend time asking them about their job and home life before going into what you do. When you're chatting with a new client, take time to ask them what they're ideal vacation is. Ask about the kinds of hotels and activities they prefer and the experiences they enjoy.

Music is a great way to set the atmosphere in your room. Opt for upbeat music if you want a pumping hangout or choose an acoustic or chill soundtrack if you want a more relaxed gathering. Play the music through speakers or straight from your phone or computer. If you want to chat with your friends, make sure that the music is quiet enough to be able to hear each other. If you don't know what to play, search for a hangout playlist on a music streaming site, such as Spotify or Apple Music. Activities are a great way to ensure that nobody gets bored. Table tennis, board games, darts, and computer games are great options that can keep you and your friends occupied for hours. Set the activities up before your friends arrive or keep them on hand in case you get a little bored later in the day. If you don't have a lot of space in your room, try some vintage games, such as knucklebones, Ludo, or cards. Food is a great way to get everybody in a good mood! Have some crisps, popcorn, fruit, crackers, or other delicious snacks prepared before your friends arrive. If you don't want the snacks to get eaten straight away, put them in a cupboard and then bring them out once you get hungry. Have a trash bag nearby to put your rubbish in so that your room doesn't look messy from the food packets.
