Problem: Article: . Find a quiet spot away from your household’s hustle and bustle to study or do homework. Put your phone in a drawer or otherwise out of sight so you won’t be tempted to check it. Some people focus better when they listen to music. If it helps you sink into your studies, try putting on some classical or instrumental tunes. Your brain can only stay focused for so long. Take 15 minutes to get up, stretch, go to the bathroom, get a snack, or another activity that gives your brain a rest. Try to schedule regular breaks between assignments or sections instead of just getting up in the middle of doing a homework problem. Keep your notebook handy when you do your assigned reading. Make a rough outline of the textbook chapter by writing the section heading, summarizing the main ideas, and defining key concepts. You'll be better prepared for class, and you'll appreciate your notes when it's time to study for the big test. Highlighting or underlining as you read isn't a very effective technique. It's one thing to only highlight a section's thesis, or its one major argument. However, coloring a bunch of text throughout the section won't help you retain information. Instead, try flash cards. Studies prove that flash cards are more effective than any other technique of memorizing. A study group can help you and your friends stay focused and motivate each other. Further, everyone learns and picks up information differently. Someone might get a concept that’s giving you trouble, and you might be able to help another student with a tough topic. Ask 3 or 4 classmates to set up a group study time after school, on the weekends, or during a free period.
Summary: Remove all distractions while studying Take a break after 45 minutes. Take notes as you read. Start a study group.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are many reasons people keep their relationship secret. However, no matter your reasons, eventually the relationship should become public, especially if you are getting serious. Talk to your partner about finding a time to go public with your relationship.  You don’t have to make a huge announcement on social media or turn it into a big deal. You may just let your friends know you’re dating someone or tell your friends you have a new partner. Instead of telling anyone, you can just start going on dates around town where anyone can see you. Despite your best efforts, you may not have been as sneaky as you thought with your relationship. People may suspect that you are together or may have seen you together. If a few people know, more people probably know. This means you should probably go public since the relationship isn’t private anymore. If someone figures it out and asks you, avoid lying if you can. Lying about the relationship can cause a lot of problems and trust issues with family and friends after you go public. Sometimes, people want to keep the relationship secret because they don’t want a relationship, they want to use you, or they are interested or with another person. If your partner doesn’t want to go public, even after you have been together for awhile, you should question their motives to make sure you aren’t being taken advantage of.  Let your partner know what you need from the relationship. You cannot truly have a fulfilling relationship if you are not part of each other’s lives. If your partner refuses to go public, consider ending the relationship and finding someone who will want to be part of your life.

SUMMARY: Choose a time to let others know about your relationship. Decide if people have started to figure out your relationship. Determine if your partner wants a committed relationship.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Buying local can help curb animal cruelty. Animals raised on local farms were likely subjected to more ethical conditions than animals on factory farms. If you can find a local farmer's market or grocery store, make that your first option when it comes to grocery shopping.  Locally raised meat is usually free from the antibiotics and growth hormones animals are force fed at factories. Animals raised on an organic diet are significantly healthier than factory raised animals.  In factory farms, animals are kept in tight pens and cannot move more than a few feet. Local farms usually allow animals to be free range, meaning they can spend more time outside and are not confined to pens.  When you buy meat, eggs, or cheese from a local farm, your money goes straight to supporting that farm. At a grocery store, you are more likely to be supporting a multinational food conglomerate than individual farmers. Allowing these farms the money they need to sustain themselves gives happy homes to a variety of animals. If farmer's markets aren't available in your area, try to find a grocery store that supports local markets and adheres to ethical guidelines when it comes to the buying and selling of meat.  Whole Foods, one of the biggest grocery shopping chains, buys from local markets and only stock meat products purchased from farmers that meet strict standards for animal welfare. Earth Fare, similar to Whole Foods, follows strict ethical standards when it comes to the animal products bought and sold. If you look around, you might find a local grocery store in your area that buys local. Learn to hunt deer for venison.  Deer meat is very beneficial for human consumption, and animals that are hunted in their natural habitat have lived much happier and healthier lives. Many people believe the best way to curb animals cruelty is by not eating meat or by not eating animals products at all. This is called vegetarianism/veganism and if you are dedicated to the cause it's something you can consider.  Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, and poultry. It's possible to meet all nutritional needs while maintaining  a vegetarian diet. Vegetarians find alternative sources of protein in beans, lentils, tofu, nuts, seeds, tempeh, and peas. Vegans, in addition to not eating meat, do not eat anything with animal byproducts. This includes dairy and honey. Vegans can easily meet protein requirements as almost all foods have some protein. Chickpeas, tofu, peas, peanut butter, almonds, and other nuts are great sources of protein on a vegan diet.  The vitamin B12, often found in meats and other animal-based products, is very important to maintain a healthy diet. Vegetarians and vegans can find B12 in soy meats, some cereals, soy milk, and nutritional yeast. You can also talk to your doctor about B12 supplements. You don't always know what you're getting eating out, and by cooking your own meals at home you can assure yourself you're eating ethically.  Use food you bought locally, or food that contains no hidden animals products. If you eat meat, buy locally raised grass-fed meat from local markets. By making meals at home, you can make sure the products you're using are cruelty free. Even when eating vegetarian options at restaurants, you never know what hidden animals products could be used in the food. In addition to reducing animal cruelty, eating at home is also better for your health as your food is generally lower in calories and less stocked with hidden sugars and fats.
Summary:
Buy from local farmer's markets. Shop from ethical grocery stores. Go vegetarian or vegan. Make your meals at home.
