Your girlfriend should be made to feel as if she's special. Always speak kindly to her, listen to what she says, and be respectful of her as an individual. Your girlfriend should be more than an object of your lust. Even if you're intimate, keep a lid on it sometimes. Greet her respectfully. When she enters a room, stand and kiss her hand. You could even nod or bow before her if you're feeling really royal. Escort her holding hands while moving. Have a soft kiss on the back of her hand, if passion allows. Comfort her hugging from the back, gently. Whenever need to touch, touch her softly. Be gentle and loving with your girlfriend. Never be rude, give yourself a challenge that you will not be angry or tough to her. Never call her names or insult her, especially during arguments. This will come back to haunt you in a large way and is a fairly common mistake. It may even result in the loss of a relationship. When you are out in public with her on your arm, present her as someone you are blessed to be with, because you are!

Summary: Be respectful and kind. Touch her gently and kindly. Respect her wishes and try to fulfill those. Be thoughtful and considerate. Be proud of her and show it.

This can mean in a clinical laboratory setting. You can find suitable laboratories at most colleges and research institutions. Working at home is also possible but requires caution - manufacturing your own biodiesel may be illegal and can put your house at risk of a fire, smoke or carbon monoxide. A good work place will be well-ventilated and have clear access to running water, eye-wash stations, fire extinguishers, spill containment supplies, a fire alarm and a telephone to use in case of emergencies. Most laboratories will have posted dress instructions you should follow. You should always wear a long-sleeve shirt, long pants, and shoes in any laboratory setting. When making biodiesel, you should also wear a heavy-duty apron, chemical-resistant gloves (butyl rubber is best when handling methanol and lye) and protective goggles or eyewear. The gloves should come up to your elbows or have cuffs you can pull over your long-sleeve shirt. The easiest oils to use for biodiesel are neutral vegetable oils like canola, corn, and sunflower oil - these oils are readily available at grocery stores and have a low melting point, which means they won't solidify if they get too cold. Avoid using peanut oil, coconut oil, palm oil, tallow, and lard. These sources of oil solidify at relatively high temperatures. Biodiesel usually has a lower melting point than the oil it's made from, but these oils can still be difficult for beginners. Also avoid olive oil. It, peanut oil, palm oil, tallow, and lard all contain more acids than in the recommended neutral oils. These extra acids can interfere with the reactions that take place to create the biodiesel. It's also possible to use waste vegetable oil which has been used for cooking. However, waste oil should be filtered to remove particulates, then allowed to settle for 24 hours to separate the oil from any water or other impurities. Pure oil will be clear and bright, with no sediment. Only use containers for making biodiesel - don't use them for storing food afterwards, even if you wash them well.

Summary: Work in a safe place. Observe laboratory dress codes. Obtain good-quality oil. Ensure all containers are well-labeled.

Older learners are often more motivated to learn and have a greater grasp on their current reading level. Ask them for their self-assessed reading level and what they're comfortable reading now. Start there and make adjustments as necessary. It's also a good idea to get an idea of what their interests are so that you can meet their needs. You could ask questions like these: "What are your favorite genres?" "What do you find interesting to read about?" or "What do you think makes reading the most difficult?" Adolescent and adult learners understandably don't want to read children's books. For these students, search for crime fiction or other adult themes tailored to low literacy levels. You could also look for edited versions of the classic authors, such as Shakespeare. Some possible choices are: Reading Shakespeare with Young Adults by Mary Ellen Dakin The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin Before We were Free by Julia Alvarez Divide students into small groups. Have them read the title of their assigned reading, as well as the captions to any illustrations in the reading. By reserving time for this activity in class, you'll emphasize the importance of previewing in their future readings. Some examples of guiding questions for this assignment are: This book is called How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. Based on that title, what do you think this book is about? What information does this photograph of Civil Rights activists sitting at a "Whites Only" counter give us about the newspaper article? Dictionaries are great, but looking up individual words can make readers lose their focus of the subject matter of their assignment. Teach students the importance of figuring out the meanings or significance of words from the context of the sentence or paragraph. You can teach context though: Fill-in-the-blank questions. Students complete by choosing one of three possible words under or to the side of the question. Antonym exercises. Students must figure out the meaning of one word by analyzing the use of its antonym (a word they already know) in the same sentence. An example would be: While Mrs. Smith welcomed all immigrants, her neighbor was xenophobic. What does xenophobic mean? Have your students plan which strategies they'll use for their assigned readings. For the next class, ask them which strategies helped the most. Examples of reading strategies are: Skimming Using context Trying to predict what will happen next in a narrative
Summary: Talk to older learners to get an idea of their reading level. Match their maturity level. Preview homework assignments in class. Emphasize context. Discuss reading strategies.
