Write an article based on this "Drill the words and sounds you find most difficult. Spemd more time with native speakers. Watch American movies and television. Listen to American music."
article: Write down a list of words that are giving you trouble and spend a little extra time going over them. Don’t rush it—speak each word slowly, feeling out every part. Split complex words up into smaller parts that are easier to pronounce, then put them all together when the sounds start working with you.  Make an effort to master 3-5 words from your list per day. Remember, the only way to get better at anything is dedicated practice. Talk to Americans every chance you get; since they’ve been speaking the language all their lives, they’ll provide the best example to follow. Try to absorb the subtleties of the language, making mental notes about what stands out to you and what you need to work on.  If you have American friends, don’t be shy about asking them for help. They may be able to offer you useful tips and exercises for refining your accent. Pay attention to their other mannerisms, as well, like their facial expressions and what they do with their hands while they’re talking. If you’re unable to talk with a native speaker in person, your next best bet is to turn on the TV and find typical American movies and shows to watch. While you’re watching, repeat simple words and phrases to yourself, doing your best to imitate them exactly. Movies and TV shows make great guides because the dialogue has to be spoken in such a way that the viewer can catch it. Think of your daily viewing as homework. You’ll be learning and entertaining yourself at the same time—it’s a win-win! Play some recordings from notable American musicians and analyze the way they place emphasis on different words. You’ll notice that most words stay the same, even as they change them to fit the song’s rhythm. Since they tend to be sticky in your memory, songs can be useful tools for getting the particulars of another language down.  Music will also expose you to other devices that are unique to American-style English, such as rhyme, similes, and metaphors. Use programs like iTunes or Spotify to stream songs so you can listen on the go. The catalogs of iconic American recording artists like Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Elvis Presley are a good place to start.

article: You should be able to find these at your local hardware store.  It is best to buy several bags at the beginning of the season.  Once the first snow storm hits, it is possible that stores will sell out of the product.  You should store your deicer in a dry place, preferably inside an airtight container keeping it free from moisture and sunlight.  These are largely made of rock salt, or sodium chloride, which has a lower freezing point than water.  This allows it to seep through the ice, breaking it up and creating a layer of water beneath it. Deicers can be harmful to your health, your sidewalk, your lawn and your pets.  Don’t use too much of it, and sweep it up after the ice has thawed.  If you feel the need to use more than 2-4 ounces per square yard, you may be using the wrong product for your purposes. Ice melts function at a variety of temperatures and melt at different speeds.  Hygroscopic ice melt removes moisture and can be severely damaging to skin and sidewalks.  Some of these products involve more chemicals than others.  Urea is sometimes included in the mixture, but can cause damage to your sidewalk. Calcium chloride will melt ice at even lower temperatures than salt mixtures without it.  It can function at -20 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas salt is only good down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.  This is useful for melting ice quickly when you need it on stairs or walkways, but will need to be reapplied often. Rock salt takes longer to melt the ice, but will not require being reapplied as often.  Use this in areas used less often, like driveways. It is not necessary to use a lot of salt.  Create a thin layer of salt on top of the ice.  You want to use about 2-4 ounce or 1-2 handfuls per square yard.  It is best to sprinkle this layer of salt as soon as it starts to snow.  Once the ice gets thicker, it will be more difficult for the salt to be effective. The salt should start working in 15-30 minutes.  It will not melt the ice, but should have seeped through and made a layer of water between the ice and the sidewalk, as well as breaking up the layer of ice and making it easier to shovel. Now that the ice has been broken down, it should be easy to break apart and remove with a snow shovel. Tap the tip of the blade of the shovel against the ice to break it apart.  Holding one hand on the top of the handle and the other down another foot or so along the length of the shovel, wedge the blade under the broken ice. Scoop the shovel under as much ice as you can and lift it off the sidewalk. Turn and tip the load of ice over to the side of the sidewalk and continue shoveling until it is cleared. You can use salt before, during and after a snowstorm.  Laying down a layer after you complete your shoveling will help keep more ice from forming.  If the snow continues or returns, you will already have your deicer working at the lower level to make future ice removal easier.

Examples of PROs are ASCAP, SESAC, and BMI. They will collect any royalties and distribute them to you in an organized fashion.

A simple note about who you are and any gigs you have will be good enough.   Look through the album sleeves of country artists you like to find labels and managers to send your demos to.

Many singers get discovered when they perform their music live. Start with your friends, family, and those you feel most comfortable with. Then perform your music in the small venues: open mics, talent shows, and café’s.  Use who you know to get gigs. Even asking your friends to perform at birthday parties is a step in the right direction. Use the gigs you get to find more. If you make a good impression, promoters or someone in the audience might ask you to perform somewhere else. Ask small local venues or event organizer if you can perform at their venue or event. Try going to them in person or call over the phone instead of sending an email. In order to stand out you need a fanbase. You will need to work hard to get fans to notice your work but having fans will open up many doors.  Publish your songs online.

These images helped them become well known.
