In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The more crisp the bill, the easier it will be to make clean folds. Make sure there aren't any existing creases, because you'll be creating new creases that will guide you throughout the folding of the turtle. If you can't find a crisp $1 bill, try looking for a $10 or $20 bill. Work on a flat surface like a desk or workbench so you can press hard on the folds. Fold the dollar bill in half, lining the top of the bill with the very bottom of the bill. The top and bottom edges should not overlap or be folded on an angle. If you unfolded the bill, there would be a line running horizontally through the middle of the bill. Fold it in half, so the left edge lines up with the right edge of the bill. Press down with your fingernail to flatten out the bill. The bill should now be exactly a quarter of the size that it was when you started. This should reveal two creases forming a perpendicular cross in the middle of the bill. This also splits your bill into 4 equally sized quadrants. The cross should meet right in the middle of George Washington's cheek. The right hand side of the bill should align with the center crease. This also should leave George Washington's face half covered by the right side of your bill. This should form a point where you folded both sides and resemble an upside down pyramid. Make sure the flat end of the pyramid lines up, so you're getting a perfectly diagonal crease. Unfold the bill so it's flat, and repeat the steps, this time using the top corners of the bill. Take the top left hand corner of the bill and bring it down, creating a 90 degree angle. Repeat with the right hand corner. At this point, you should have two X shapes formed by the creases you just made. Fold the X on both sides so that each one has a crease running down the middle. Take the left edge of your bill and fold it horizontally so it lines up with the center crease, to get a perfect vertical crease down the center of your X. This is the last crease that you need to make before you start folding your bill into a turtle. You should now see a cross in the middle of the bill, two creases on each side that form an X, and a vertical crease in each X. The middle of your bill should look like a diamond where the left and right X meet. Creating creases may seem unnecessary, but it makes it easier to fold your turtle.
Summary: Obtain a crisp, crease-free bill. Fold the dollar bill in half, lengthwise. Fold the bill in half, from right to left. Unfold the bill and flatten it. Fold the bottom right hand corner on a 90 degree angle. Fold the bottom left hand corner to the center crease. Unfold then fold the top right and left corner of the bill to the center crease. Fold the two Xs in half, vertically. Unfold your bill.

Think carefully about the classes you choose for the upcoming year or semester. Many middle schools now offer gifted and honors programs. High schools are increasingly offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses, International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, and addition to honors classes. These sorts of classes all have an increased workload over regular classes. Consider this as you are planning your schedule. AP or IB classes often have 2 or 3 times the amount of reading and homework as regular courses. Honors classes may have up to double the amount of work required as regular courses. College students need to consider whether they want to take the recommended course load (often 4 classes) or more. More classes might help you finish your degree sooner, but if you are juggling work and extracurricular activities, you might be overwhelmed. You need to decide what classes are most important and where extracurricular activities come into play. Sports and other activities like debate club or newspaper might take up considerable amounts of time. Think about how these time commitments will impact your overall schedule. Rank your classes and activities in order of importance. Estimate (realistically) how long your academic and extracurricular activities will take. Figure out how much time you have overall. If you've over committed, you need to drop your lowest ranked class or activity. Working all the time rather than enjoying family time and having fun with friends can potentially make you a much more stressed out person. You need to create a balance between homework and down-time. Make sure to reserve mealtimes for family, rather than working. Try to set aside the weekend for family, and work only if you need to catch up or get ahead. Don't plan on working on holidays, even if you try, your productivity likely won't be high. At some point, you may find yourself in over your head. If you have so much homework that you are working consistently from after school to bed time every day, you might have too much homework. Similarly, if you have no free time and are losing sleep because of the number of assignments you have to complete, you may need to make a change. If you're in middle or high school, talk to your parents and your teachers about the issue and ask them to help you figure out a solution. If you're a college student, reach out to your professors and advisor for help. If it takes you much longer to finish your homework than it takes other students, it may be due to a learning difference. Ask your parents to schedule a meeting with a learning specialist.

One-sentence summary -- Avoid over committing yourself. Decide your priorities. Reserve time for your family and friends. Recognize when your homework becomes unmanageable.

Problem: Article: Having at least a bachelor's degree is a requirement. This is not a requirement for the job, but rather for the work visa. Without a work visa (or a spouse visa if you are married to a Japanese citizen) you cannot legally work in Japan. This is an immigration law. Without a bachelor's degree, Japan will not issue you a work visa. You don't want to break the law in Japan. If you are caught working without a visa you will be detained and deported. Your bachelor's degree doesn't need to be in English or teaching, but it might be more useful. Any bachelor's degree will do. If you do want to work in Japan then you will need a lot of money. It is recommended to bring at least $2,000 with you to help you get started before you get your first paycheck. In addition, you will need to buy suits for your job. Most schools will require you to wear a suit, but some let you take off the suit jacket in the classroom, especially during summer time. You should have at least 3 nice suits. Also, you will have to pay for your plane tickets. Depending on your interview location, you may need to fly there (even within your own country). You also need to pay for your own flight to Japan. In other words, no arrests. The government will not issue a visa to someone who has committed a crime. Small crimes several years ago may be overlooked, but anything in the past 5 years is almost a guarantee than your visa will be denied.
Summary:
Earn a bachelor's degree. Start saving money. Have a clean past.
