Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don’t be too helpful. Understand that it is OK if they do not want your help all the time. Be supportive.

Answer: Remember, it is not your job to find your friend a job. It is their responsibility and they should take initiative for themselves. Also, if your friend is the type of person who likes to do things for themselves, you may seem more overbearing than helpful.   Sometimes people like to do things for themselves or some people don’t like to say no but really want to. You know your friend the best and depending on their personality act accordingly. It is good that you want to help your friend find a job and your friend will more than likely be very appreciative of that. However, they may not want or need your help all the time. It is best to offer your assistance but be prepared for them to say “no”.   If they say “no” at any given time do not be offended. It is their job search and you should let them make their own decisions. Being supportive of a friend during their job search means encouraging them to stay on track by looking for the best jobs for their qualifications and not giving up. Job searches can take some time. Letting your friend vent about the process, providing your honest opinions and providing words of encouragement such as “don’t give up, you have great qualifications” can do more than you think.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Familiarize yourself with the characteristics of hip hop. Choose a song. Listen to the story of the music. Consider how you can express the story you hear in the music. Think about people moving to the music on stage. Use natural movements as the base of your routine.

Answer: Hip hop is a style that first originated in the late '60s and early '70s. This new style was characterized by its beat forward instrumentals and energetic, non-classical dance style. You may want to research videos online of hip hop moves that were popular in the past, like:  Popping Locking The dougie The stanky leg The Cupid shuffle You might pull a song from the current top hits list, or you might have something else in mind. The primary feature of hip hop music include: high energy, dance-ability, its lyricism, and use of rapped lyrics. To achieve the best effect in your audience, you should look for these features when searching for the hip hop dance song for your routine. Find a peaceful place where you won't be bothered by anyone. Then, on some sort of audio playing device, like your phone or a stereo, play your song. Clear your mind of all things, and consider closing your eyes while you listen to your song. Try to:  Imagine natural movements that accompany features of the song. Gain a sense of the deeper meaning of the song. See the story in the music that you want to tell. If the song is about breaking through obstacles, you might want to incorporate a gesture or combination of moves that gives the audience a sense of breaking free. Use how the music makes you feel to generate ideas for your hip hop routine. Try to express the story of your music using choreography that is easily interpreted by your audience. Even if the dance has meaning for you, if the audience fails to see it, your routine will have less of an impact. This can help clarify the natural movements you were trying to gain a sense for while listening to your music. You should also take note, at this time, of space limitations. Precisely measure the dance area or stage you will be using before charting out your choreography. Try to make use of the entire dance space you have available. Otherwise, it might make your dance seem lacking in fullness or incomplete. By using natural moves as the foundation for the rest of your routine, you'll have an easier time tying different parts of it together. Make moves that you believe will have the greatest effect in your audience the central point of your routine.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wear a flattering top. Get something that flatters your legs. Wear stylish shoes with a good fit. Bring comfortable underwear. Wear clean clothes. Take it easy with the accessories.

Answer: You can usually get away with a well fitted t-shirt, but you can go sleeveless if you want to show off your arms. You can be creative with prints and colors; have fun with it. If you’re a bit more self-conscious about your upper body, try wearing a shirt or tank top that reaches your hips. It’ll hide your love handles or your tummy if you want it to. Fit is important when choosing a top. If it's too loose, it’ll be in the way. If it's too tight, it’ll be less than flattering. Opt for the happy middle. If you’re confident that you have nice looking legs, rock a good pair of shorts. They’ll keep you cool and show off what you’ve got. If you think you might get cold, or you’re a bit more self-conscious about your legs, wear a basic pair of black leggings or track pants. It’s important to keep a healthy balance between looking good and feeling confident. If you try to wear things that look good but don’t make you feel confident, you might feel embarrassed during gym class and won’t have a good time. Your first priority with shoes should be the fit. Depending on the arch of your feet and their size, some models won’t make for a good fit. Even if you have the coolest shoes, gym class is going to be a nightmare if they make for a painful fit. Always try a shoe before buying it, and get it in the right size. If you want to kick your style up a notch, pair your shoes with some colorful socks. Looking good starts with feeling good. Wear a pair that makes you feel confident, and it’ll translate into your attitude. Even though no one will see them (hopefully), just knowing that you’re wearing them will boost your confidence.  If you need one, make sure your sports bra fits well. If you’re wearing leggings, thongs and boy shorts are best for avoiding panty lines. Your gym clothes shouldn’t be left in your bag overnight. Anything you’re going to sweat in should be washed after every use. Build up this good habit, and you’ll never have to wear stained or smell clothes to gym class. If you want to wear something on your head, you should keep it simple. Hats with brims tend to get in the way, so only wear them if you’re outside and need to block the sun. Stick to a simple beanie in a flat color that fits the rest of your outfit. Wristbands should really only be worn if you’re worried about excess sweat. They’re great for wiping a sweaty brow, but aren’t the most stylish thing around.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a good place and time. Bring up the subject and ask if they're interested. Keep your mind and heart open at all times. Know when it's best to leave it alone.

Answer:
The conversation should be one-on-one, and it should be during a relaxed time when nobody needs to hurry to go somewhere else. It should happen in a private or semi-private place, like at home, at a coffee shop, at a park, or during a walk around the neighborhood. You don't want to make someone feel embarrassed, blindsided, or trapped. If they look awkward, drop the idea. This allows them to gracefully decline if they would prefer not to talk about it and gives them an opportunity to start expressing their thoughts and ideas if they are in the mood. Some people feel awkward or uncomfortable talking about religion, especially since religious discussion can result in heated debates or hurt feelings.  For example, you could say "I've been thinking a lot about religion lately, and I was wondering if you feel like talking about it." Respond gracefully if they say no. Don't push. If they say no to you several different times, assume it means that they are very shy about religion and don't like talking about it, so it's best to stop asking. If the person feels ambushed or attacked, they'll shut down and have no interest in what you have to say. Thus, try to keep an open and friendly tone, without pressure for them to act a certain way. You want them to be comfortable with you. Not every atheist is open to being converted, and it's important to make peace with this. Don't whine, wheedle, or browbeat your way through a conversation that someone else doesn't want to have.  If someone says "I don't like talking about religion," then stop bringing up religion. If you offer to talk about religion a few times, and they say no each time, that pattern may mean something. Stop bringing it up, or ask "I've noticed that you've declined each time I asked you about religion. Is it a topic you're uncomfortable with?" Then stop if they say yes.
