Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Design your pony with graphic design software. Create your pony with a pre-made program. Use a template and customize it.

Answer: Use a computer program that allows you to draw and color in your own unique pony design. Use brush, pencil, or pen features in software like Photoshop to draw your pony freehand.  Try software like the popular Adobe Photoshop for the most advanced features, or free programs like GIMP or Artweaver that let you create your own artwork in a similar fashion. You can use many of the same principles you use for drawing with pencil and paper when you use computer art programs. Use an eraser tool within the software to erase sketch lines, or utilize layers to create different versions of your design to delete or edit. Customize your pony using an online game or program specifically for designing My Little Pony-style characters. Choose colors, hair styles, and other distinctive markings for your pony before saving it.  Try a game like General Zoi’s Pony Creator to customize a large number of features on your pony and save it to your computer. Or use the similar tool to design ponies on Pony Lumen.  Create a unique Cutie Mark for use in other pony designs on Hasbro’s official site for My Little Pony. Find pony templates online if you do not want to design your own. These will allow you to save or print the design and add your own customization with color.  Try printing out a pony template and color it in with your own colored pencils, markers, crayons, or paint. Or save a template to your computer and use a photo editing program to fill it with color. Note that a template won’t allow for too much customization of things like face and body shape or hairstyle, unless you draw in your own extra details by hand.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Review the school catalog. Look at the class schedule for the first term. Read the rules about overloading first, or ask for advice, before choosing the classes you'll take. Understand how units correlate to hours per week that you will spend. Ask school staff or returning students what a reasonable course load is. Find out if any of your chosen classes are difficult to get into.

Answer: This should list the requirements to graduate in your chosen major, and it is important that you understand what requirements you must fulfill. It will also give a brief description of the contents of the courses, which in turn will help you gauge how difficult each course will be and whether it will interest you. Begin making a list of classes you wish to take. Try to include alternatives both for times and for course titles, since certain popular classes may be crowded at first. Do any of the additional classes you want to take clash? Is it going to be possible to work around clashes or is this going to make one or more of the classes too difficult to complete? Cross off those that really won't work out. Some of the things to bear in mind include:  In some cases, your institution may not permit taking an extensive overload. If you need approval for an overload (many colleges require this), this is often an additional step from normal enrollment, so be sure to get the correct papers and approvals in advance. Do you know what penalties or flexibilities are in place for dropping, changing or failing additional courses taken?  It's a very good idea to know how many weeks into the term you have to withdraw from a subject without recording a fail, in case you realize you need to lighten the load and pick up the dropped subject later on. Often one unit corresponds to one hour in class, but the proportion may be different for certain things such as lab or review sessions. Remember that the number of units you take will also determine how much homework you will have. Plan to spend an average of two hours of study outside of class each week for each hour in class - though this, too, varies from class to class. Many schools have a certain minimum number of units you must take per term to be considered a full time student. This minimum number of units may not take up all of your time, and it may not get you through your curriculum in a reasonable number of terms. On the other end of the spectrum, you don't want to overload yourself with classes, especially not before you know how many units you can reasonably handle during a given term. Here again, try to get the advice of someone who has attended your school in your department. Aim to be at least on the waiting list for classes that are difficult to get into, as soon as you have all the prerequisites.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a style. Dedicate yourself to your training. Achieve a basic level of mastery. Learn about the history of your style.

Answer: Investigate different martial arts to find one that captures your interest. There are hundreds upon hundreds of styles from all over the world, from traditional arts like Hung Gar, pencak silat, and Shorin-ryu karate to more sport-oriented disciplines like kickboxing, judo, kendo, and mixed martial arts (MMA). Each style distinguishes itself through its collection of techniques, tactics, training methods, and philosophical approach to combat and physical wellness.  Once you've researched a wide variety of styles, narrow down your search to the ones that are taught in your area so you'll know what options are available to you. When comparing various disciplines, take your own physical strengths and limitations into consideration. For example, wushu is a dynamic style well-suited to young, athletic students, whereas a softer art like aikido may be better for people who have a history of injury. Enroll in classes and get started on your journey. Absorb everything you can, making an effort to understand not just the performance of each technique but the intent behind it. It's important for you to take your training seriously if your goal is to eventually teach others.  New students should make an effort to practice for a minimum of 3-5 hours a week. Put particular emphasis on the basics. These will serve as the foundation for everything you'll learn from here on out, in business as well as martial arts. Train hard to earn your first degree black belt, or an equivalent rank in your respective style. Until then, put aside thoughts of teaching. Your main focus at this stage should be sharpening your own skills. Prospective students will be more willing to learn from an instructor who has demonstrated competency in their art.  In most styles with ranking and promotion systems, attaining a basic level of mastery can take anywhere from 4-6 years. Kukkiwon Taekwondo, for instance, promotes students based on their ability to perform key techniques, which may be done in as little as 3 years, depending on your work ethic. By contrast, jiu-jitsu is a discipline where progression is notoriously slow, often taking as long as 10 years. As an instructor, you'll not only be responsible for helping students develop their technical proficiency, but imparting some of the unique cultural character of your style. Martial arts are many things—history, philosophy, art, ritual, and lifestyle. Each of these aspect has an important role to play in the discipline, and should not be neglected.  Traditional martial arts are often viewed as a kind of heirloom, passed down from generation to generation. It's often necessary to understand the history of a style in order to understand how it has evolved to its current form.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look up some difficult tongue twisters. Read the tongue twister out loud. Say the whole tongue twister in a single breath. Eliminate your mistakes. Repeat the tongue twister faster.

Answer:
Don’t settle on simple tongue twisters for kids. Look for the longest, most difficult tongue twisters you can find. Select a number of tongue twisters that focus on different letters of the alphabet. Try out something like this: "I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's mate, And I'm only plucking pheasants 'cause the pheasant plucker's late. I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's son, And I'm only plucking pheasants till the pheasant pluckers come." Focus on the enunciation of the words. Pronounce each syllable clearly and as quickly as you can. This will help loosen up the muscles in your tongue so you can speak at a faster rate. This exercise will improve your breathing so you can use better technique when rapping. It can also help improve your lung capacity. This is important to being able to rap fast because it teaches you to say more words with each breath.  If you can't say the tongue twister in a single breath, try some additional breathing exercises to get you there. Hissing is a good beginning breathing exercise. Breathe in to the count of 4. Breathe out, hissing, to the count of 4. Then, breathe in for 6, and hiss out for 10. Breathe in for 6, out for 12. Breathe in for 2, out for 12. Breathe in for 4, out for 16. Breathe in for 2, out for 16. Breathe in for 4, out for 20. Breathe in for 1, out for 20. When you accidentally mess up, start over until you get it perfectly. You want to get it right the first time and every time. When rappers perform live, they only get one shot at getting it right. Mistakes are bound to happen, so don't beat yourself up over it. Just keep working to minimize their frequency. Try this exercise for 5 to 10 minutes a day to practice your technique and build speed. If you want you can time yourself to see how much faster you are getting over time.
