Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize whether drinking affects the person’s relationships. See if the person has given up other activities for drinking. Consider whether your loved one’s drinking has led to legal troubles. Notice if they’ve had trouble on the job. Watch out for risky behaviors while drinking. Determine if alcoholism runs in their family.

Answer: Do your loved one’s drinking habits come in between them and their family and friends? Maybe they stop hanging with friends who discourage their drinking or they fight with their spouse about money used to buy alcohol. Recurring social problems could mean their drinking has gotten out of hand. Did your loved one once enjoy various hobbies or interests that have taken a backseat to their drinking? Giving up previously enjoyable activities for alcohol use may suggest that your loved one’s drinking has become a problem. For example, maybe your friend once played in a band, but, lately, they have been blowing off practices to drink. If your loved one has gotten arrested, hurt themselves or someone else, or suffered financial consequences due to drinking, they may be suffering from alcoholism. Think back on how things have been for them over the past several months--are they constantly getting into trouble regarding their alcohol use? Do you or someone else call in to the person’s job when they’ve had a bad night drinking? Perhaps the person is walking a thin line with their place of employment because of absences or because they have shown up for work intoxicated. Maybe they’ve already lost several jobs due to drinking. Has your loved one been taking more risks due to their drinking? Maybe you heard a friend left a bar with a total stranger for sex--behavior that was out-of-character for them -- or you learned that your sibling drove home after a night of drinking. Alcohol reduces inhibitions, so if your loved one has an alcohol problem, they might frequently engage in risk-taking behaviors. There is a genetic component to alcoholism, so see if there are others in this person’s family who have had problems with alcohol. Having another family member who is an alcoholic increases their risk of developing the condition. Genetics is not a be all and end all. People who have alcoholic family members can still protect themselves from becoming an alcoholic by  avoiding alcohol or drinking only in moderation.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start freestyle battling. Relax Perform with a lot of energy. Have key words that you can return to. Don't worry if you lose your first few real battles.

Answer: The best way to start battling is to find opponents just for fun. Have rap battles with friends that don't care if you insult them – or mess up, for that matter. Battle as often as you can, especially if you can find a friend who is actually good at it and can help you improve. Once you’re confident that you’re good at it, try your skills at house parties and rap concerts, which are also good places to practice your techniques before actually entering a stage battle. . Staying calm will not only help you keep your cool while your opponent disses you, but also allow you to focus on coming up with a good response. Not only that, but keeping calm will improve your delivery, which can make or break an insult: since the hallmark of good delivery is timing, allowing your mind (and mouth) to race in panic can cripple the best diss. Breathe deeply. Deep breathing stimulates the Vagus nerve, which has a calming effect on the body and mind. In fact, some researchers believe that making a habit of relaxing and breathing deeply can change the way that your genes express themselves, making you calmer person all around. Don't just stand there and talk. Move around. Gesture with your hands to emphasize your lyrics. Aggression is a must. Performing with intensity will engage the crowd and win them over. Many times rap battles are determined by which performer is stronger at commanding the stage. These words will help you out if you’re drawing blanks. Know what words rhyme with your key words, allowing you to use them more often because you know what flows with them. Write down lists of rhyming words that can be easily used to knock your opponent in someway. For example, joke rhymes with broke, choke, etc. Keep the lists in a notebook and practice using them in some of your rhymes. Just knowing a few such words can give you dozens of verses to throw out there if you're struggling to come up with other ideas. The point is to constantly practice freestyling and performing better. Just like with athletes and musicians, you need to put the work in during practice to reach your full potential when the moment comes. The longer you do it the better you'll become, so keep it up till you've got it down.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Step side to side to do a step touch. Jump and bounce your shoulders to do a shoulder pop. Do alternating heel digs to perform a heel tap. Roll downwards through your chest, ribs, and hips to do a body wave. Bend down slightly and dip your knees to the beat to get low. Swing your hips in a circular motion to do a lower body isolation.

Answer:
A step touch is a popular beginner reggaeton dance move. Step out wide to the side with just 1 foot and then bring your second foot to touch the ground next to your first foot. Try to bounce a little on the spot as you step. Then step to the other side and repeat the movement.  You can use your arms while you’re doing a step touch too! Bend your elbows and spin your forearms around in small circles in front of your chest. Alternatively, you can take steps that are further apart so that you squat slightly. Start with your feet together and your hands on your hips. Then jump out so that your feet are wider apart than your shoulders. Bend your knees and your elbows, and then shift your weight from leg to leg. As you shift your weight to each leg, bring that arm up and bend the other arm down slightly. Move each shoulder up and down as you transfer your weight from leg to leg. As you’re doing shoulder pops, you can also bring your hands to just in front of your chest and rotate them in circles to make this move more lively. Stand with your hands on your hips and your feet together. Extend 1 leg straight out in front of you and keep just your heel on the ground. Then bring your leg back to the starting position and swap to the other leg. Do another heel dig with your first leg again and then quickly draw that knee up to your hips and back down. Repeat this sequence to perform a heel tap!  You can use your arms while you’re doing a heel tap too. Swing your arm out in front of you that is opposite to the leg you’ve extended and then return your arm back to your side as you bring your feet together again. You can also use your arms to pretend to pull up your knee as you draw it towards your body. Do this move fast and try to roll your body in time with the heel digs. Stand with your feet just further apart from your shoulders and angle your upper body slightly to one side from your hips. Begin by slowly pushing your chest outward and then your sternum in a smooth, rolling way. Gradually bring your chest and sternum back as you push out your ribs and hips in a rolling, wave-like formation.  A body wave is an easy and flirty reggaeton move for beginners! When you have pushed your hips out in front of you, start from the top again at your chest and continue to roll your torso like a wave. Stand with your feet slightly further apart than your shoulders and bend your knees. Angle your right knee in towards the center and then back out to the original position. Repeat this movement with your left leg. Then do this twice with each leg again, at double the speed. Try to roll your hips out as you move your legs so that your hip movements are exaggerated.  You can also use your arms to make this move even more flirtatious! Girls can click their fingers and swing their arms slightly above their head to the beat of the music. Guys can clap their hands and bounce their shoulders as they move.  This is not only a great dance move for a club, but it’s also a good leg workout! Stand with your feet just wider apart than your shoulders and make sure that you bend your knees. Swing your hips back and then forth towards 1 of your legs. As you swing your hips, bend your elbows and swing your arms back and forth from your body, alternating with your hip movements. Then draw your hips in a circular motion behind you, beginning from the side that you were swinging your hips over towards the other side.  Try to click your fingers to the beat of the music while you do lower body isolations. Alternatively, you can move your hips in front of you in a circular motion rather than behind you.
