Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Begin studying 6 to 8 weeks before your test date. Evaluate your strengths and weaknesses to decide what to focus on. Get an IELTS book or study guide to direct your studies. Find an IELTS prep course to get extra help.

Answer: When you feel that your English skills have progressed enough that you want to take the IELTS, book your exam. But make sure to allow yourself at least 6 weeks to study for the test. This will help to ensure that you have enough time to prepare yourself for the test and you won't have to retake it. Avoid cramming for the exam or trying to take the exam too soon if you don't feel ready. The IELTS exam includes reading, writing, speaking, and listening sections. Consider what your strengths and weaknesses are to help you decide what you should focus on. For example, if you excel at reading and writing English, but have more difficulty engaging in conversations, then you might want to devote more time to studying for the listening and speaking sections of the exam. If you feel that you are equally skilled in all of the test's areas, then you can divide your study time evenly. There are many free study guides and materials available online, or you can check a study book out of your local library, or purchase a study guide from a bookstore or online. Following along with a study guide will help to ensure that you fully understand the layout of the exam, and increase your chances of success. Some good options include: Top Tips for IELTS Academic Official IELTS Practice Materials Volume 1 & 2 How To Prepare for IELTS There are free and paid IELTS courses available. Some of the courses are in-person, while others are online. Find a course that works for you and enroll in it for some additional study time, guidance, and tips. You can also watch IELTS test prep live streams on Facebook and Youtube. While these won't provide the same targeted help as a course, you might still find them helpful. Taking an English course is also helpful if you don't have access to an IELTS test prep course. Enroll in an English language course at your local university or online if this is an option for you.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut the intensity of food with a balancing beer flavor. Cut the heat of a spicy dish with an IPA. Calm the heat of spicy food by cutting it with a German Doppelbock. Cut the richness of fatty foods with a gueuze or lambic. Cut the sweetness of shellfish with a stout.

Answer: Cutting intense heat, flavor, or richness of foods with an equally intense beer can allow strong flavors to mingle and even compete. If you're not a fan of intense beer flavors and aromas, you can cut the flavor of food with a beer whose flavor profile is on the opposite end of the intensity spectrum. Try cutting the heat and flavors of a spicy dish like Thai green curry with the hoppy bitterness of an IPA. An IPA, with its notes of citrus and pine and rich malt, will cut through the heat of spicy foods, creating an unexpected match made in heaven. The malt sweetness of the beer will calm the burn, cutting through the food's intensity. Try pairing Cajun foods like gumbo with German Doppelbock, a beer known for its malt sweetness. When the bold flavors of rich, fatty meats or cheeses are creatively cut with the bright sourness of a fruited lambic or beer, the results are surprising. Try pairing Lambic with duck or pork. A gueze will cut the oiliness of fish like salmon or mackerel. A bitter, dry stout will cut through the tender sweetness of shellfish like oysters. This classic pairing is quite pleasing to the palate.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Feed your dog twice a day. Give your dog moderate exercise daily. Groom the dog when needed. Show your dog love and attention.

Answer: With their small builds and moderate energy levels, Boston Terriers don't require lots of food. Give your dog 1/2 cup to 1 1/2 cups of high-quality dry food once in the morning and once in the evening. A selection of well-reviewed dog foods is available here. Accompany each meal with a generous amount of water the dog will stop drinking on its own when it's satisfied. The exact amount of food your dog will need depends on how big it is and its activity level. Bigger, active dogs may require the full 1 1/2 cups, but you don't have to give this much for smaller, less active dogs. Resist the urge to feed the dog outside of its main meals. Boston Terriers are vulnerable to both obesity and flatulence, which extra meals and decadent treats can make worse. Exercising your dog every day is a great way to keep it happy, healthy, and well-behaved. Most Boston Terriers will be more than happy to go on a walk around the neighborhood with you every day. Bostons also love running and playing in the yard or at a park. Note that excessive exercise is something you'll want to avoid, as this can put stress on Bostons' weak hearts. During heavy exercise, watch for signs of fatigue, like gasping, coughing, bluish gums, and an obvious desire to stop moving. These are all signs that the dog should be moved indoors and given a chance to rest. One of the great things about Boston Terriers is that they don't need much grooming. Below are the most important grooming tasks to be aware of: Coat: You only need to do this if and when the coat looks dirty or shaggy. Brush gently in the direction of the hair with a natural fiber brush or a hound glove. Bathing: Bathe the dog only when needed for instance, if it's been playing in some mud or you notice that it smells bad. Washing too frequently can strip the natural oils from the coat. Use a mild soap made for smooth-coated dogs. Nails: Either have a professional groomer handle this or use a rotary sander on very low speed to tap gently at the tips of the nails. Nail clippers can hurt the dog if you clip too close to the base. Teeth: This is the only grooming task you'll need to do frequently, as Boston Terriers are vulnerable to dental problems. Two to three times a week, use a baby toothbrush or a washcloth wrapped around your finger to apply special dog toothpaste to both sides of the teeth. Boston Terriers love attention. Without enough of it, they can easily become depressed or anxious. For your dog's happiness, try to have at least one person in your family spend a little "one-on-one" time with the dog every day. Luckily, there are many different ways to do this. Here are just a few ideas: Play with your terrier. Bostons love games like fetch, tug of war, chase, and play-wrestling. Remember, however, that this breed is small and light play gently. Be aware that gentle nipping during physical games is normal. Cuddle with your dog. Boston Terriers are very affectionate and love close contact. Beware of this breed's tendency for drooling and flatulence. Don't cuddle with your dog places where it's not normally allowed to go (e.g., if your dog isn't allowed in bed, don't cuddle with it there). Pet your dog. Boston Terriers respond best to positive reinforcement, so you may want to use this form of affection as a reward when training it.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a bra when you need one. Eat healthy, but don't diet. Exercise regularly. Talk to a parent about how to handle hair growth. Wash your face regularly. Wear a panty liner. Learn to handle other people's reactions to your changing body. Remind yourself it's just a phase.

Answer:
One of the things girls deal with during puberty is developing breasts. Usually, girls start developing breasts when they are 10 or 11 years old. Once this happens, you may need to wear a bra to feel comfortable. Ask your mom or an older sister to help you find a bra that is the right fit for your body. You can also get sized or measured to find the perfect fit for you. It's tough to know when you're ready for a bra, but if you answer "yes" to any of the following questions, it is a good indication you're ready to get one: Do you feel uncomfortable changing in the locker room? Do you feel uncomfortable wearing a light t-shirt because your breasts feel exposed? Are most of your friends wearing bras? Are you developing faster than most of your friends? Asking your mom for help picking out a bra can be embarrassing. Remember, she went through the same thing at one time in her life and will be happy to help you. If you're not sure how to bring it up, try saying something like this: "I've been feeling a little uncomfortable about my body lately. I think it might be time for me to wear a bra. Can you help me pick one out?" Another change you'll face during puberty is that your hips will get wider. This might make you feel like you are gaining weight, but you are actually just developing a more womanly shape. You may be tempted to diet when you see your body changing to get back the shape you had before, but you should instead focus on eating healthy. Focus on eating lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains like whole wheat, oatmeal, and brown rice, and drinking lots of fat-free and low-fat milk, which will help you develop strong bones. In addition, make sure you're eating a good amount of protein, like fish, lean chicken, beans, nuts, and eggs to give your body energy. In addition to eating healthy, you should also exercise regularly. Exercising will help you stay healthy and feel good about your body, even with all the changes you're going through. Try playing outside with your friends after school, playing a recreational sport, or taking up running. In addition, you might be able to use the exercise equipment at your local YMCA, like treadmills, stair steppers, stationary bikes, and weight machines. Be sure you get proper instruction before using this equipment. You could also exercise at home by getting some exercise videos. Look for routines that will allow you to build muscle strength while also providing a cardio workout. Another thing you'll experience during puberty is hair growth. You'll begin to develop hair on your underarms and your pubic region. Ask a parent or someone you trust to help you figure out how to deal with your new hair growth. For example, you may deal with the hair on your underarms by shaving it or starting to wear deodorant to prevent sweating and body odor. You may also have questions about what kind of hair growth is normal. Don't be afraid to talk to an adult about the changes you're going through. Acne is another unfortunate symptom of puberty. As your hormones change, the glands on your face, and maybe even your back, neck, or chest, produce more oil. This excess of oil causes pimples, which can be embarrassing and annoying. To help control acne, try some of the following: Use medicated face washes, creams, and wipes. Also, look for non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic makeup. This type of product won't clog your pores or cause any other skin reactions. If your acne seems particularly bad, you can ask your parents to make you an appointment with a dermatologist, or skin doctor. They can prescribe you medication, face washes, and creams that are more powerful than what you can buy over the counter. Avoid using oily makeup, hair products, or lotion. In addition, avoid direct sunlight when you can and don't ever pick at, squeeze, or try to pop pimples. These things can all make acne worse. You acne might be worse when you are on your period or if you are extra stressed out. Take especially good care of your skin during these times. During puberty you may experience a white, jelly-like discharge from your vagina. This is normal and is your body's way of cleaning itself. If it bothers you, however, try wearing a panty liner. Your mom or an older family member can help you find the right kind of panty liner. You may start to get more attention from people, especially boys, when you go through puberty. Some of this attention may make you feel uncomfortable, but remembering a few things can help you cope: If you ever feel uncomfortable about the attention you are getting, speak up and let the person know their actions or words are making you feel uncomfortable and you'd like them to stop. Try saying, "I don't like when you talk to/touch me that way. Please don't do it again." It can be tempting to hang out with an older crowd, but you may not be ready to deal with the situations you could face by doing solike alcohol, drugs, and sexual situations. Spend time with a trusted group of friends your age. This will help you avoid these scenarios. Not to mention, many of your friends are probably going through the same things and having someone to relate to can make puberty easier to deal with. People might make comments that make you feel self-conscious about how you look. Instead of dwelling on these comments, focus on the features you like about your body. For example, maybe you really like your hair or your eyes, or maybe you've noticed your calves are more defined since you started puberty. Many changes you experience during puberty are uncomfortable. You might feel like you're never going to feel comfortable in your new body. When you're feeling this way, remind yourself that puberty is a necessary phase of life and you'll get through it. In the meantime, focus on doing things that make you feel good about yourself. For instance, spend extra time doing your hair in the morning, make sure your fingernails are painted, play a sport you're good at, or take up a new hobby.
