Q: Ich bin_____Jahre alt - I'm _____ years old Ich bin am _____ 19_____ geboren - I was born on _____ 19_____ Mein Geburtstag ist am _____ - My birthday is on _____ The following are general statements about your height. Remember that Germans use the metric system, so if you'd like to be more precise, make sure to convert your height from feet to meters. Ich bin gro/klein - I'm tall/short Ich bin ziemlich gro/klein - I'm rather tall/short Ich habe braune/blaue/grune Augen - I have brown/blue/green eyes Ich habe braune/blonde/schwarze/rote Haare - I have brown/blond/black/red hair Being able to say something more personal about yourself can form a connection to the person with whom you're speaking. Ich bin mude - I'm tired Mir ist kalt - I feel cold/I'm cold Mir ist warm - I feel warm/I'm warm Ich bin froh - I'm happy (about something) Ich bin traurig - I'm sad Ich bin nervos - I'm nervous Ich bin geduldig - I'm patient/I'm a patient person Ich bin ungeduldig - I'm impatient/I'm an impatient person Ich bin ruhig - I'm calm/I'm a calm person Ich bin unruhig - I'm anxious
A: Learn how to talk to people about your age and birthday. Talk about your height. Tell people about your hair and eye color. Describe how you're feeling and some of your personality traits.

Q: While there is a lot of calibrating that goes into high end speakers, the basic technology is actually pretty simple. An electrical current is run through a wire that is attached to a magnet. This current makes the magnet vibrate, and those vibrations are picked up by our ears as sound. To hear the sound well you should also get a small plastic tupperware or cup. This will amplify the sound much like yelling into a cone amplifies your voice. You want to wrap the wire 6-7 times starting from the middle. Make sure you leave several feet of wire unwrapped on either side of the magnet. Tape this coil onto the bottom of your tupperware, but without the magnet. Using both ends of the leftover copper wire, make an even large coil and tape this on top of the smaller one. Like before, you will leave roughly a foot of leftover wire on each side of the coil -- this is how you will attach your "speaker" to your music source. You want it to sit comfortable within both coils, but don't worry too much about touching every inch of wire. The most common attachment is an 1/8th inch cable or "Auxiliary" cord (the input on most headphones). Wrap one end of the wire around the top of the metal input and the other around the bottom. Gator clips, which are small clamps that transmit electricity, can make attaching your copper wire to a music source easier. Try using a stronger magnet, keeping your coils tighter, using different "amplifiers," and playing different music sources at different volumes.
A: Find copper wire, packing tape, and a strong magnet. Wrap the copper wire around the magnet several times to make a coil. Use a bottlecap or other round object to make another, larger coil. Place the magnet on top of the two coils. Attach both copper wires to a music source. Tinker with your speakers to get better sound.

Q: Pediatricians work with both healthy children and sick children whose illnesses will vary in their severity, and may meet patients who do not survive their illnesses. Parents of sick children may be extremely emotional and touchy, so it is important to be empathetic, patient, and have strong communication skills. It is important to be detail-oriented and have a thorough understanding of medicine in order to effectively diagnose patients, especially infants, who cannot articulate their symptoms. Physicians usually work long hours and have limited time to spend with friends and family. They also experience a great deal of stress when it comes to both time-management and the prospect of losing patients. Many students feel overwhelmed and discouraged by the heavy workload and breadth of study in medical school. The best way to prepare for medical school is to have a thorough understanding of the basic subjects, which include anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry, among others. Be prepared to spend a majority of your time either in school or studying. Take advantage of the months before medical school starts to travel and spend time with loved ones, as your free time will be very limited once the program begins. It is important that you fully apply yourself in all levels of your education, from high school through medical school. Getting good grades early on in life will increase your likelihood of being accepted to a reputable university, medical school, and residency program. More importantly, being able to grasp the basic subjects early on in life will build a foundation that will help you throughout your education and work as a doctor. Pediatricians should love children and feel comfortable working with them. Remember that you will be working with children of all ages, from infants to adolescents up to age 18. Treating younger patients requires more patience and intuition as a doctor, as patients may be uncooperative or unable to speak for themselves (especially infants).
A:
Be prepared for the physical and emotional challenges involved. Know what to expect in medical school. Start early. Determine whether you enjoy working with children.
