article: Just because your teacher has not announced extra credit opportunities, does not necessarily mean that there are none. If you feel you would benefit from extra credit, always ask your teacher what you can do to improve your grade. If something is going on in your life that has affected your grades, make sure your teacher knows about it. She may be more willing to work with you if you have a legitimate excuse for falling behind in the first place. Be sure to communicate that you are genuinely willing to work to improve your grade. Teachers are not likely to change your grade unless you put in a lot of effort. Understand ahead of time how much of an effect extra credit can have on your grade. This will vary from class to class, so never expect that you can turn your C into an A by writing one additional essay just because that worked in another class. Some teachers offer lots of extra credit opportunities, but some don't offer any at all, so don't expect it. If your teacher does give you the chance to complete extra credit assignments, be thankful for it. Do not complain about the amount of work that is required or the number of points you can earn for it. Your teacher didn't have to give you any extra credit opportunities at all. Do as much extra credit as you can, as long as it isn't interfering with your other assignments. You should always complete the required assignments for your class before you move on to extra credit. If you've been given an extra credit assignment, it's up to you to make the most out of it. In order to show your teacher that you really care and get the best grade possible, you need to put your all into your work. As with all other assignments, make sure you understand the expectations. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher to explain the requirements if you don't understand them. If your teacher gives you the option to choose your extra credit assignment, make it something that you are passionate about. For example, if you have to write a research paper about a controversial issue of your choosing, pick a topic that you find interesting. You will have a much easier time completing the assignment (and you will probably do better work) if you enjoy learning about the topic. Always hand your extra credit in on time. Do not disappoint your teachers again by turning in your work late.

Write an article based on this "Talk to a real estate agent. Contact a title company. Find a skip tracer."
article: If you see signs in nearby yards for a particular real estate agent, give them a call and ask about the property. An agent selling other houses or property in the area is likely to have knowledge about the neighborhood. In addition to knowledge about the neighborhood including general demographics and property value trends, a real estate agent has contact with title search companies and other professional resources. A real estate agent's professional connections can enable her to find information about a property owner much faster than you could on your own. Since title companies routinely perform searches to clear title on properties, and record deeds after title transfers, they have easy access to accurate, current information on a property. If you want to buy the property, connecting with a title search company will be essential, because you will need a complete and accurate history of the property's title and its value. A title company isn't going to conduct a title search for free. Title search fees, which typically run between $200 and $400, normally would be included in the general closing costs when you were buying a house. A title search independent of a home sale might cost more, depending on the company you contact. Skip tracers, like bounty hunters, are professionals who find people who've "skipped" out and can't be located by usual means. Skip tracers are familiar with and have access to a number of databases that may not be available to the general public. Skip tracers also may interview neighbors, relatives, or other sources and conduct surveillance on the property if necessary to locate the owner. Independent skip tracers often work with bounty hunters, bail bondsmen, and private investigators.

Write an article based on this "Have some ideas about what to talk about. Introduce yourself. Compliment her. Listen and ask questions. Pay attention to her body language."
article:
Talking to a girl you like can be nerve-racking. You can ease some of the stress by having a few things already picked out to talk about before you sit down. If you are in the same class you could say something about the teacher or the content of the class itself. If you are at lunch or out with friends you might mention a popular movie or the antics of a friend you have in common. "Professor Fink is so boring. I actually like physics, but he has a real knack for sucking all the fun out of it." "Have you seen the latest episode of Supernatural? It was riveting." "Today is my dog's birthday. I'm so excited. Do you have any pets?" If you don't already know the girl you like, introduce yourself as soon as you sit down. Tell her your name and maybe what you think of the class. Just a few sentences. "I'm Steven. I usually sit over by the Coke machine at lunch, but I thought I'd switch it up today." When delivered with the right intentions, a sincere compliment can make anyone feel good. Avoid saying things about her body or comments that are lewd or sexual. Instead, tell her you like her shirt or her earrings. Even better, compliment her ideas while you guys are talking. Be honest. An insincere compliment is usually easy to pick out and can have the opposite effect. "I really like listening to you break down the thematic elements of the latest episode of Supernatural. It's opening up the show in a new way for me." "Those are really nice earrings. Where did you get them?" Avoid sexually charged compliments. Don't just monopolize the conversation. Sitting next to some you like is a great way to get to know them better. Ask her about herself. What kinds of things is she into? How is she liking the class so far? What does she usually like to get for lunch from the cafeteria? If this is a first meeting, keep the questions light. Avoid extremely personal questions. Smile and nod your head. Say things like, "I see." "Yes." or "I Understand." Make eye contact. This helps you appear confident. It also assures her that you are listening when she speaks and that you are engaged in what she has to say. If she is avoiding eye contact or leaning away from you, these may be indicators that she is not into the conversation. You can try redirecting the topic to something more neutral or inline with her interests. This may also be a sign that she needs more space or is feeling somehow intruded on. Try leaning back or scooting over a bit to give her more room. If you notice her leaning forward, smiling, and/or making eye contact, then this is a good indicator that she is engaged in the conversation and having a good time. Keep it up!
