In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Show your father you want to succeed in life by performing well at school. Endeavor to complete all your assignments on time and to the best of your ability. If there’s something you don’t understand, ask your teachers to explain again, provide further resources for learning or ask a friend to explain it to you.  Develop a study schedule. Make an estimate of how long your homework will take and plan your afternoon and evenings around it. Include revision and breaks in your schedule. Plan study sessions with 45 minutes full studying then a 10-minute break. Keep your phone off to help you focus only on the study material while you work. Avoid any other distractions that you know will come up. Experiment with different studying techniques until you find your own learning style. Find a quiet room in your house to study. Make sure you have your own space to do it. Organize your folders and stationery. Keep files of your subjects. Make sure you write your name and the date on all assignments to help you know which order they should go in. Try to build a good reputation for yourself. Always be polite to your teachers and show them you’re keen on learning well by participating in class. Sometimes it can be difficult to be polite when you don’t like a teacher or if your friends tend to act up in class. Set a good example by being well-mannered. Your dad will be proud of you when he hears your teachers praising you. This doesn’t mean you have to agree with everything your teacher does. If a teacher is being a bully or if you’re concerned about their behavior toward you or anyone else in class, raise the issue with your school principal. Be sure to tell your parents so that they are also up to date with your life. Doing well at school is about more than academics. Participating in ECAs so will help you develop into a well-rounded individual: you will learn valuable life skills like discipline, leadership, teamwork, time management, analytical skills, social skills and organization all while having fun in an activity you’re interested in. These are all skills you need to succeed in life. All parents want to see their children succeed in life. ECAs also boost your college applications and resume/CV as they show you have a range of interests and values that the college or employer will be looking for. Show your dad that you’re a good judge of character. Befriend people who you see do well in school. Look for those that have a good reputation with others and their teachers and who perform highly in class and whom you think have good character and stay out of trouble. You might learn from them and being friends with them might help keep you out of trouble too. If you like, you can form study groups with them. Never do anything just because your friends are doing them. Think your actions through. If you’re having trouble with peer pressure, talk to your dad about it or speak to a school counsellor.
Summary: Study well. Get along with your teachers. Take part in extracurricular activities (ECAs). Make good friends.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Anger and depression are separate moods, but the two are often linked together so tightly that it can be difficult to distinguish one from the other.  Irritability is often considered a symptom of clinical depression, but the connection goes deeper than that. Unchecked anger can actually trigger or worsen depression. Justified anger that drives you toward positive change can be a positive emotion, but oftentimes, people who struggle with depression find themselves dragged down by anger instead of helped by it. This anger is typically explosive, but for some individuals, it can be so deeply rooted that you barely recognize it. If your bouts of anger leave you feeling guilty, they're only feeding into your depression, no matter how good they feel initially. You'll need to control this type of anger before you can learn to control your depression. Before you can control your anger, you need to identify it. You'll also need to identify your depression and learn to distinguish one internal state from the other.  By intentionally labeling your emotional state, whether it's anger or depression, you can capture your feelings and help prevent them from running unchecked. If you habitually suppress your anger, you may have trouble labeling it for what it is. Anger can masquerade itself as motivation by driving you to perform some immediate form of action. When the action you feel inclined to perform involves causing pain (emotional or physical) to yourself or others, the underlying state is likely anger. Anger is often symptomatic of a much deeper issue. To control your anger, you'll need to address the cause of it.  The anger might be connected to the root of your depression. Past traumas, for instance, can trigger or worsen depression and may also cause bouts of anger to emerge when memory of that trauma threatens to resurface. Even if you can't connect anger to any past trauma, it still has a present day cause. You'll need to find a solution to that cause if you want to control the anger it evokes.
Summary: Understand the connection between anger and depression. Acknowledge both feelings. Consider the underlying issue.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Listen to how each sentence sounds, particularly the dialogue. Notice if the story flows well from paragraph to paragraph. Check for any awkward sentences or phrases and underline them so you can revise them later.  Notice if your story follows your plot outline and that there is a clear conflict for your main character. Reading the story aloud can also help you catch any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors. With short stories, the general rule is that shorter is usually better. Most short stories are between 1,000 to 7,000 words, or one to ten pages long. Be open to cutting scenes or removing sentences to shorten and tighten your story. Make sure you only include details or moments that are absolutely essential to the story you are trying to tell. Most editors, and readers, will check the title of the story first to determine if they want to continue reading. Pick a title that will intrigue or interest your reader and encourage them to read the actual story. Use a theme, image, or character name from the story as the title.  For example, the title “Something I’ve Been Meaning to Tell You” by Alice Munro is a good one because it is a quote from a character in the story and it addresses the reader directly, where the “I” has something to share with readers. The title “Snow, Apple, Glass” by Neil Gaiman is also a good one because it presents three objects that are interesting on their own, but even more interesting when placed together in one story. Show the short story to friends, family members, and peers at school. Ask them if they find the story emotionally moving and engaging. Be open to constructive criticism from others, as it will only strengthen your story.  You can also join a writing group and submit your short story for a workshop. Or you may start your own writing group with friends so you can all workshop each other’s stories. Once you get feedback from others, you should then revise the short story again so it is at its best draft.
Summary:
Read the short story out loud. Revise the short story for clarity and flow. Come up with an interesting title. Let others read and critique the short story.
