Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Study in the morning. Quiz yourself often. Match your studying to the exam format. Choose a study location free from distractions.

Answer: Training days will be long and exhausting, and your brain will likely be fried by the time you get back to your hotel each evening. Don't try to study when you are tired -- you won't learn much and will only wake up feeling groggy the next morning (especially if you sacrifice sleep). This will be especially problematic if you are surprised with a quiz on something you learned earlier in the week. Go to bed early enough to wake up a few hours before training begins. Use this time in the morning to review your notes from the day before while your mind is rested. This strategy will help you retain the information as well as possible. If you have a hard time waking up early, you can find an alternative study time that works for you. Just keep in mind that late-night studying carries the risk of making you tired for your next day of training. Don't bank on your ability to use days off to catch up on studying. Depending on your training program, you may be required to participate in weekend ride-alongs or demonstrations that could take all day. You will have to commit a lot of information to memory, such as Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) and potentially hundreds of airport codes. You should get in the habit of creating quizzes for yourself in order to test your comprehension and retention of the material you are learning. You may find it helpful to do this with a fellow trainee. Flashcards are a great way to memorize lots of information and are especially useful when studying without a partner. Create flashcards for terms and their definitions, airport codes, or any other short bits of information you need to know. Make a note of the topics or definitions you have trouble remembering and set aside extra time to focus on these. This is a great benefit of quizzing yourself: you will identify your areas of weakness before being officially tested on them! Airlines differ as to the style of the training program's final exam; your exam could include written and oral components and might even involve simulated flight scenarios. In any case, the final exam passing requirement is usually set very high (around 90%). Some airlines will not allow you to retake the final exam, so you will have to pass it on the first try. Do not fail to study for your final exam, because a few small mistakes could end up making your training essentially worthless. If you do not know the format of the final examination, find an appropriate time and situation to ask one of your instructors. They may choose to keep this information secret, in which case you should prepare yourself for all possible exam formats. If your exam will involve a simulated flight practical, you will find it especially useful to study with a group. This way, your study partners can play other roles in the scenario (such as an unruly passenger) and evaluate your performance. You will have a broad range of topics to know for your exam, many of which are required in order for the training program to be Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified. These topics will likely include CPR and first aid, aerodynamics and theory of flight, air traffic control principles, airplane evacuation procedures, FAA emergency protocols, in-flight announcements, helping disabled passengers, and many more. Unless you are studying with a group, pick a spot in your hotel (such as a meeting room or "business center," if this is an option) where you are unlikely to be disturbed. If you study in your room, make sure you are not watching TV, talking to your roommate, using your phone, etc. while you are supposed to be focusing on your work. If you have trouble focusing at your hotel, go to a coffee shop or other public place nearby. If you have trouble reading with noise, make sure you go somewhere quiet to do your reading. If you choose to study away from your hotel, pick a location that is easy to get to and that has hours of operation that will accommodate your schedule. Feel free to switch up your study locations if need be. Some nights, studying in your hotel room might work fine, but on others, perhaps there is too much going on. It can also be nice to get a change of scenery now and then.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be aware of the volume and tone of your voice. Learn the right manner in which to initiate a conversations. Find ways to extend conversations. Steer clear of inflammatory topics. End conversations courteously.

Answer: Don't speak too softly or too loudly either. Speak at a volume that can be heard easily, and suggests confidence but never shows aggression. Remember to adjust the volume of your voice to suit the surrounding environment. If possible, speak at the same volume and tone as people in your immediate environment. If you find that you speak quickly because you're nervous or anxious, try speaking at about a third of your normal speed. This trick is called slow talk, and it not only helps you speak clearly, it can also help you feel calmer. You can begin by saying something that is generally or universally true, rather than overly personal because that might seem to be insulting or offensive to some. Comment on the weather, or maybe some current event you heard about in the news recently. You could compliment someone on what they are wearing or the way they have done their hair. Small talk is not always easy though; since it can often be difficult to think of exactly what to say. Here a few examples: "That's a nice hat, where did you buy it"? "What's with this crazy weather?" "I just love the view from here." "Isn't Professor James' class fascinating?" After speaking about general issues such as current events, try bringing up more intimate or a more relatable topic. Asking questions that delve a little deeper below the surface. For example, asking polite questions about their family, employment, or hobbies can lengthen a conversation and make it more meaningful. Remember that a conversation takes two people, so avoid speaking too little or vice versa. Try as much as possible to ask open-ended questions; in other words, start with a "How," a "Why," or a "What," instead of those questions to which there can only be a plain and simple "Yes" or "No" answer. That doesn't encourage the person you're speaking to speak more. Here are some ways to lengthen conversations and give them depth: "So, what you do for a living?" "Tell me a little more about your family?" "How do you know the host of the party?" "How long have you been attending / been a member of weight watchers?" "What are your plans for the weekend?" When interacting with a person you don't know all too well, there are some subjects you should steer clear of. In general, these would include controversial subjects like religion, politics, or the persons ethnicity/race etc. For instance: While it appears appropriate to ask someone a question about an upcoming election, it might be offensive to ask someone who they plan to vote for. While it seems okay to ask someone about their religious affiliation generally, it might be a bad idea to ask just about anyone about the church's views on sexuality. Instead of abruptly cutting them off and walking away, try to be polite about it. Tell them in a sweet, non-offensive way that that you have to take their leave, and give them the impression that you enjoyed the interaction. Try concluding with positive statements such as: "I've got to run, but I hope we meet again soon." "Well, I have a bank appointment, but it's been fun chatting with you." "I can see that you're busy, so I'll let you go. It was nice talking to you."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Allow the eggs to turn white on the edges of the omelet.

Answer: Timing is everything in omelet flipping, and a good rule of thumb is to look for solidified eggs on the edges. Once they have begun to turn white, you have a short amount of time before they become too hard. Use medium heat and allow the center to solidify slightly. Flipping an omelet when the sides have started to turn brown will sometimes result in an omelet that is well-done on the outside, but runny inside.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Report any abusive phone calls. Inform the authorities. Never ignore abusive phone calls. Talk to teachers and principals. Tell your parents if you're still a minor.

Answer:
Your phone company should have a department that deals with abusive phone calls. They can give you some options on how to stop abusive phone calls. As soon as you receive any abusive phone calls, call your phone company immediately. You should be able to tell them exactly what was said and any other information you have from the phone call. If your phone company doesn't have a department for abusive phone calls, they should have a customer complaint line. This line should have some representatives that can help you prevent abusive phone calls in the future. If the calls are persistently abusive, or if your service provider recommends it, notify the authorities. Abusive and malicious calls are a criminal offense and will be treated as such. If you call your phone company first, they may recommend speaking to the police depending on the abuse. While not all abusive phone calls can be reported to the police, your phone company should have a good idea whether or not you should report the abusive phone call. Depending on the abuse, you may be able to file charges against the person calling. At the very least, it's always a good idea for the police to have a record of abusive phone calls. If you do nothing about these types of calls, you will continue to receive them. Even if you are only documenting the phone calls, it's important to do something rather than nothing. Abusive phone calls are not usually stopped by ignoring them. Even if people calling may only want a response, they likely will not quit if you simply ignore them. Even if you're not ignoring the abusive phone calls, that does not mean you have to engage with the calls. You can simply write down the calls and report them to the appropriate authorities. If you're receiving abusive phone calls or text messages, it's important to tell someone. Receiving abusive calls or texts is a big problem that you should not keep to yourself. Your teachers and principals need to know if any abusive texts are happening at school. They want everyone to feel safe and comfortable at school. Abusive text messages can be a big problem for teens. Since the people sending the messages don't see the person they're abusing, they can often be even more vicious and mean. Your parents need to know if you are getting abusive phone calls or text messages. They will be able to talk to the phone company or your school to stop this behavior. You should never blame yourself for abusive texts or phone calls. It's never your fault and is always wrong. Abusive calls or texts can lead to depression and anxiety for teens. Don't let this behavior continue; tell your parents so they can do something about it.
