Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice your speech.  Keep it together Enjoy yourself.

Answer: Graduation day shouldn’t be the first time you recite your speech out loud. Give yourself a few practice runs beforehand, either in front of a mirror or your friends. This will let you see how long your speech goes (and if it is too long), as well as how it actually sounds when you say it out loud. If you can, recreate the setting as much as possible. Wear your cap and gown so you will be comfortable in them, and practice at the podium or where the graduation is, if possible. The more familiar you are with the setting, the more comfortable you will be in giving your speech. . You don’t want to break down during the speech. If you feel some tears coming on, take a few deep breaths and grip the podium to distract yourself. Graduation is an emotional time for everyone involved, and it is understandable that you’ll get a little choked up thinking about your friends and classmates. Letting one or two tears out can be fine. You can always pass it off by blaming allergies, or make a joke about it being dusty in the room. This is a big moment for you, and it should be a proud one too. That being said, your classmates probably won’t remember most of what you say. That’s okay. If anything, it just might take some of the pressure off of you. Relax, have fun, and stick to your big ideas. The important thing is that you find a message that you care about and think is important.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remain calm  Make your claim, with confidence Ask the person what you can do to regain trust.

Answer: . When you are accused of something, especially if you are telling the truth, your first reaction may be to get angry or defensive. Getting overly excited or frustrated, while a fair response to an accusation, can actually make the other person believe the accusation is true. Take a few  deep breaths, and remember that you are trying to resolve the situation and preserve your relationship with this person, not make things worse. . With some people, the only way to prove you  are not a liar is to not prove it. In the end, you can't force another person to believe something different than what they are already committed to believing. However, you may be able to shake the person's confidence in his opinion by stating your own truth with confidence.  Stand firm with your feet planted hip distance apart. Roll your shoulders back and lift your  chest. Raise your chin and make eye contact briefly (about 5 to 7 seconds). Tell the person, "I see that you are resigned to believe what you think happened, but I know what happened. I did not do this, and I'm sorry you can't see that." Refrain from saying anything more, as overly explaining can be misconstrued as lying. When it's clear that you cannot convince this person of your honesty, ask for more information about why she seems to distrust you. Equipped with this information you can strive to be more trustworthy in the future. Whatever the person tells you should be used to change your behaviors so that you do not have trust issues in your relationships moving forward.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine the emotional core of the story. Make storyboards Write the music. Create the lyrics for the songs. Put the music and the story together.

Answer: Once you have the story idea, think about what is at the heart of your story. Ask yourself, “What are the themes in the story?” “What larger issues does the story address?” Identifying the emotional core of the story will help you focus your writing and create content that addresses the emotional aspect of the musical. For example, the musical Sweeney Todd is, at the surface, about a Victorian barber out to kill the men who stole his wife and sent him to prison on false charges. But at the heart, the musical is about the high cost of revenge and how anger and resentment can ruin your present day life. . One way to help you write the musical is to create storyboards or visual representations of each scene. You can draw on regular sheets of paper or get larger paper to write on. Storyboarding each scene can help you get a better sense of your character’s actions and motivations. It can also make it easier to write the music and the songs for the musical. You may try writing down a rough list of scenes for the musical and then creating storyboards for each scene. Try to get the essential visual elements for each scene on the storyboard. Don’t be afraid to use many storyboards for each scene, as the more detailed you are, the more depth the musical will have. The most important element of a musical is the musical score. There are four types of musicals: all-sung, operas, integrated, and unintegrated. Musicals that are all-sung means there is no dialogue at all and the entire script is sung. Operas are also all sung. The most popular form is integrated, where the music and the dialogue are integrated together in one show.  If you have written music before, you may try writing music for each scene that you have storyboarded. Or you may start by writing one to two pieces that you feel are key to the musical, such as the musical theme for the show. You may also try using music writing software on your computer that helps you translate humming, singing, or whistling into written music. This may be ideal if you have never composed music before but are musically inclined and want to somehow translate your ideas into a score. You may be able to write the music and the lyrics for the musical, especially if you know the story well and feel confident about your music writing abilities. If you are not musically inclined, you may look for a writing partner who is skilled at composing music for the stage. Many musicals have been written in pairs or teams, with one person writing the music and one person writing the lyrics. Once you have written the music for the musical, you should create a list of songs. Notice if you have more songs than scenes in the musical. Having many songs is not a bad thing, but you want to be sure that the musical flows well from dialogue to song and from scene to scene. Organize the musical so there are scenes, music, and lyrics in the same document. Order the music within the scenes of the musical so it all feels cohesive and well put together. Check that you have smooth transitions from spoken dialogue to a song. For example, you may notice that you have a scene between a father and daughter, followed by a song that is sung by the daughter. You should make sure the song relates somehow to the scene and that the daughter addresses her relationship with her father in the song. This will make the musical flow smoothly.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your physician about herbal treatments. Drink aloe vera juice. Take apple cider vinegar. Make yourself lemonade. Eat an apple. Make herbal teas. Try cranberry. Take licorice root. Use slippery elm.

Answer:
There are a number of different herbal approaches to treat ulcer pain. Talk to your physician first before trying these remedies. In general, these are all very safe, but it is best to be certain they are safe for you.  Combining these herbal approaches with the lifestyle modifications listed should significantly improve how you feel. If your symptoms worsen or if new symptoms develop, stop using herbal remedies immediately and talk to your doctor. If you are pregnant, speak to your physician about using any of the herbs listed. Aloe juice decreases inflammation and acts to neutralize the stomach acid, reducing pain. You can drink ½ cup (100 ml) of organic aloe vera juice twice a day if you are experiencing pain.  Aloe vera also comes in tablet or gel form. Use as directed on the package. Since aloe vera can act as a laxative, limit it to a total of one to two cups a day.  Do not use aloe vera if you have chronic intestinal problems, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or irritable bowel syndrome. This method uses your own body’s acid sensors to tell it to shut down acid production. To do this, add one tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar to six ounces of water. Drink the mixture once a day.  You only need to do this once a day, but daily use may lead to more relief over time. The vinegar doesn’t have to be organic, but it does have to be apple cider vinegar. Other vinegars just don’t work as well as ACV. Make you own lemonade, limeade, or lemon-limeade. Mix a few teaspoons of pure lemon and/or lime juice into as much water as you would like.  If you want, you can add a bit of honey to the drink. Drink this before, during, and after meals.  Citrus is acidic, and too much of it may make your ulcers worse. Small, doses diluted with water may help, however. For example, one tablespoon of lemon juice with eight ounces of water may prevent pain when drunk twenty minutes before a meal.  The extra acid in the lemon and lime juice tells your body to shut down acid production by a process called “feedback inhibition.” When you are feeling ulcer pain, snack on an apple. The pectin in the apple skin acts as a natural antacid. Herbal teas can help soothe your stomach and reduce ulcer pain. Teas made from ginger, fennel, and chamomile are good choices.  Ginger acts an an anti-inflammatory and soothing agent for the stomach.  It can also help with nausea and vomiting.  You can buy ginger tea bags or make your own from fresh ginger. To make fresh ginger tea, cut up about one teaspoon of fresh ginger. Add the ginger to boiling water. Steep for about five minutes. Pour into a mug and drink. Do this anytime during the day, but especially about 20 to 30 minutes before meals. Fennel helps settle the stomach and decreases the acid levels. To make a fennel tea, crush about a teaspoon of fennel seeds. Add the seeds to a cup of boiled water. Add honey to taste. Drink two to three cups a day about 20 minutes before meals. Chamomile tea can calm the stomach and reduce stomach pain by acting as an anti-inflammatory agent. You can buy bags of chamomile tea from any store that sells tea. Ginger tea is considered safe for pregnant women. Cranberry may be able to prevent the growth of H. pylori in your stomach. To get the benefits of cranberries, you can eat cranberry foods, drink cranberry juice, or take extracts.  Cranberry contains Salicylic Acid. If you are allergic to aspirin, do not eat cranberry. Cranberry may interfere with some medications, such as Coumadin (warfarin). Talk to your doctor before taking cranberry extracts. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice root (DGL) works very well to heal the stomach and control hyperacidity and ulcer pain. It is available as chewable tablets, and the taste might take some getting used to. Follow manufacturer’s instructions — this usually means two to three tablets every four to six hours. Slippery elm coats and soothes irritated tissues. Try it either as a three to four ounce drink or as a tablet. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions for the tablets. Slippery elm can have serious side effects and should not be taken if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
