Summarize the following:
There are many papers for which no historical context is needed, but if historical context can help clarify things to the reader, a historical review introduction can be very helpful. These introductions are usually used for papers written about a historical time period or topic, a historical critique of a piece of literature, or a long-standing problem that people throughout the ages have tried to address. Outline or review a few key historical facts that offer the reader any essential information he or she might need in order to understand the topic of the paper. These pieces of information should not only provide context about the topic, but should also indirectly present the general topic itself. In doing this, you will demonstrate the the reader how your topic fits into the historical account you present in your introduction. The information provided thus far will be fairly general, so you need to focus the end of your paragraph on a single thesis statement that you will use to define the rest of your paper.  A thesis statement is a single sentence that defines a specific point or idea about a broader topic that your entire paper is built around. With this type of introduction, your thesis statement should cause the reader to view the historical facts you just presented in a specific light or through a specific lens. In effect, your thesis statement should tell the reader why the facts you presented before it are important to keep in mind.

summary: Determine if a historical review could be helpful. Provide factual and historical context about the the topic. Narrow your thoughts down to a thesis statement.

Her identity as a goth doesn't mean she doesn't have non-goth related interests and hobbies. You might find that you have a lot more in common than you first thought! Ask her about her favorite:  TV shows Classes in school Free time activities Places to go The goth subculture might be new and strange to you, which can lead you to feeling out of your element and uncomfortable. Try not to be judgmental in this situation. After all, goths are people just like you and are simply looking for a place where they can be accepted and appreciated for their style and beliefs. It's likely that goths feel just as out of place in their daily life as you might when hanging out with them.  Try to understand how the girl you want to attract thinks. Listen to her and discuss what she says. You don't have to think the same things she does, but respect her views and show her you're interested in what's important to her. It can be tempting to try and portray yourself in a way you think she'll like. This is natural, but can lead you to feel like the real you isn't good enough for her. Pretending to be something that you're not can also lead to strain in your relationship with her. Avoid pretending to be something that you're not. When you're having a conversation with her, try to summarize what she's said in your own words and ask her if you've got it right. This is a strong way of making her feel like you really understand what she is saying, which could lead to greater emotional honesty between you. And as your relationship deepens, so too might her feelings for you. In addition to helping create an open atmosphere between her and you, this technique will also help prevent misunderstandings between you. If you are regularly checking that you understand what she is saying, there is less of a chance you'll misinterpret something. Invest yourself in the things she is saying by asking follow up questions. When she makes a statement, you can ask why she thinks that way or what brought her to that viewpoint. Don't allow yourself to be distracted by other people, your phone, or what's happening around you. By showing her she has your complete attention, you're also showing her you care about her. Turn your phone off before you even meet up with her. Even if you're having a great time, your nervous habit of checking your phone or the reflex to fidget with it might make her think you aren't interested.

summary: Ask her about her interests and hobbies. Open yourself to new things. Verify what she is saying. Commit to your conversations with her.

If you live in an approved country, you can apply for a visa online and wait for them to mail you the letter. Go to the Vietnamese Immigration Department’s website, follow the instructions for your specific country, and fill out the application online to apply. The costs are the same for online applications, but you’ll pay an additional $25 for online processing. To begin the process, visit the Vietnamese Department of Immigration online at https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/. There are several online agencies that approve visas and do the paperwork for you, but they’ll upcharge you for your application. It’s best just to go through official channels. The Vietnamese dong is Vietnam’s national currency, and you have to change some cash out if you plan on buying anything. Go to your bank and exchange some cash before flying out to avoid getting ripped off at a currency exchange. You probably won’t spend more than $25 a day, even if you eat out for every meal. Many places in Vietnam do not take credit cards, so you may not be able to get everything you need with plastic. The dong is an extremely unstable currency, so things are pretty cheap in Vietnam if you’re converting American dollars, British pounds, or Euros.
summary: Apply for a visa online if you don’t mind waiting a little for approval. Change your money out at a bank before flying.
