Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Plant your mint in a pot. Choose the right time to plant mint. Water your mint plant often. Fertilize your mint on occasion. Plant your mint properly.

Answer: Mint plants have a fast-growing root system, which is why it's best to plant your mint in a pot. If you plant mint in your garden without a container, it will quickly spread to take over the entire garden.  If you want to plant your mint outside, dig a hole at least 5 inches deep, and place a container (such as a pot or a mesh bag) into the hole. Then, plant your mint inside of the container and pack dirt on top of it. The container will keep the roots from spreading to the entire garden. If you want to plant your mint indoors, purchase a pot to plant your mint in. Place the pot near a window where it will get sunlight throughout the day. Don't place the plant near a heat source. If you're leaving your mint outdoors, when you plant your mint is important. Make sure to plant your mint in the spring if you live in a climate that experiences winter. If you live in a frost free climate, mint will thrive in mid-fall. Make sure to water your mint often, as mint thrives in damp soil. Mint can grow in a variety of soils, but doesn't do well in dry environments. If you live in a dry environment, keep an eye on the plant and water it more frequently. Water your mint plant at least once per day. For the most part, mint should grow well enough on its own. However, you should occasionally supply a light amount of fertilizer to the soil surrounding your mint. This will encourage healthy growth. This can be especially helpful if you harvest your mint a lot.  Do not fertilize your mint often. Harvesting it every 3 to 4 weeks should be enough. Choose a fertilizer that's low in salt, as salt can cause the tips of mint leaves to turn brown. When you plant your mint, plant it so that it is about 1/4 inch below the surface. You should only plant one seedling if you're using a pot. If you're planting your mint in your garden, plant each seedling about 2 feet apart. Be sure to plant each seedling it it's own container.  Make sure to plant mint where it can receive sunlight. When planting mint in pots, make sure you can move the pots near direct sunlight. Do not choose pots that are too big to fit on a porch or patio. While it's best to grow mint outdoors, you can plant it inside. If you choose to do so, pick an area where your mint will be consistently exposed to morning light. You should also keep it away from anything like a heater or furnace, as this can dry mint out. Make sure the pot you use to plant mint is free from cracks. Mint roots grow fast, and they will spread through the crack of a damaged pot.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: To make this exercise more challenging, you can bend one of your legs as you lift your body off the ground. You can also point one leg up at the ceiling for an even greater challenge.

Answer: Bend it at a right angle as you stretch your body upwards, then switch legs for the next repetition. Just lift it so it's perpendicular to the floor as you lift your torso up, then set it down on the ball again and switch legs for the next repetition.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hold your harmonica correctly. Form a seal with your harmonica and mouth.

Answer: You should hold your harmonica nestled in your left hand, with your thumb supporting the bottom of the instrument and your other fingers along the top. The harmonica should be oriented so that the numbers printed on its holes are facing upwards. Take your hand and form an open C-shape with your fingers and thumb. Your harmonica should be positioned deeply into the C-shape, tucked into the area where your thumb joins your hand. You should not pucker your lips as you would for a kiss or play the harmonica with only the outer portion of your lips. The case of the harmonica will need to be in contact with the inner part of your mouth to give you proper control while playing. Your lips should touch the casing and the wood/plastic body should be inside your mouth.  For the best control and quality of tone, you should try to keep your jaw as relaxed as possible while playing. Your jaw should be slightly lowered when playing your harmonica. This will create more space in your mouth and give your playing a richer tone. While getting used to forming a proper mouth seal with your harmonica, it can be difficult holding the instrument in position while keeping your jaw relaxed. Take your time, and practice until this becomes second nature.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get 1-2 new outfits to wear during the first week. Purchase the supplies that you’ll need for the school year. Do a practice run a week or so before the first day. Adjust your sleep schedule 10-14 days before the first day. Talk to your parents if you’re worried about bullying or teasing at school.

Answer:
While you don't need a whole new wardrobe, having a new outfit for the first day can make you feel more confident. If your school doesn’t require uniforms, save up to get an outfit or 2 that you like, or get a new pair of shoes to wear for the year. Once you have an outfit that you like, make sure you style it appropriately for school.   Keep in mind that whatever you wear should follow your school’s dress code. If you don’t have a lot of room in your budget for a new outfit, mix and match your old clothes to make new outfits, visit a thrift store to find inexpensive clothes, or organize a clothing swap with your friends where you can all trade clothes. Visit an office supply store or local supermarket to pick up a few folders, pencils, notebooks, and other supplies that your school wants you to have. If you’re not sure what you need, check your school’s website, ask a store associate, call the school to ask them, or look up lists for your grade level online.  Your classes might require you to get specific supplies, like a protractor for geometry class or a world map for history. You don’t have to get a new backpack and lunch box every year, but if yours have rips or tears in them from last year, remember to get a new one when you’re shopping for school supplies. If you have the time, pick a day and pretend like it’s your first day. Go to bed early the night before, wake up on time, and do your morning routine. Head to the school to see how long it will take you to get there, and go in the school to find your classes and locker if you’re able to.  Many schools have new student orientations to introduce the school to new students. See if your school has one of these and go to it to prepare for your first day in a new school! Try to go to bed at your normal “school year” bedtime every night starting about 2 weeks before classes begin. If you’re having trouble getting to bed at night, try waking up earlier so that you’re tired earlier in the day. Try to follow a consistent routine for bedtime, including brushing your teeth, turning off electronics, and taking time to relax. If you need to, try reading a book or listening to calming music before you get ready for bed to get into a relaxed mindset. Whether you’re going to a new school or heading back to the same school, bullying is an issues for many kids. If you’re having anxiety, feeling sad or are scared, sit down with your parents or someone you trust to discuss what’s going on. Ask them to talk to your principal and school counselor with you to address the issue before the school year begins.  If you have a close friend who you can trust, try talking to them about how you’re feeling. If they know you’re worried about being bullied, they’ll be able to watch your back and help you if you do end up in a bad situation. During the school year, if you’re experiencing bullying of any kind, including cyber bullying, don’t be afraid to tell a teacher or school counselor. They’ll likely be happy to help you and can help you find a solution to the problem.
