Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get tutoring as needed or desired. Try forming small study groups. Avoid over-stressing about grades. Start studying early, so you don't have to cram. Treat yourself after working hard for an exam or project. Keep an eye on your grades. Talk to librarians for research projects. Borrow books first before buying.

Answer: If you feel like you're not understanding the material in your classes, don’t be afraid to ask your professors or peers for help. The resources vary by college, so find out early how you can get help. Some people like to do schoolwork in the tutor center. It's a quiet place, and then if you need help, you can ask for it. Ask your classmates if they want to study. It can make studying more fun, and you can learn a lot. Grades are not the only measure of your skill as a student, and if they're not good, you often still have time to improve them. Focus on getting good grades, not perfect grades, and doing the best you can. If you did your best, that's a victory and you can feel proud.  If you're worried about your grade, try going to office hours and asking your professor for help. Professors like students who take initiative and show up to office hours. It helps to review your notes after each class, and ask questions if you have them. Then start studying for tests early, so that there is no rush. Try starting your studying a week before the actual exam.  Never pull an all-nighter. Even if you manage to stay awake during the exam, your memory will be impaired due to sleep deprivation. Students who pull all-nighters get worse grades, and students who get enough sleep before an exam get better scores. Buy new clothes, eat a hearty meal, go out with friends, or take a long break to watch your favorite show and relax. Good effort is worth celebrating. You don't want to be surprised when you get midterm or final grades. Instead, check your grades periodically so that you'll notice if something looks wrong or bad. You can talk to your professor if you're struggling.  Professors like students who show up to office hours. Feel free to go there to ask questions or ask for help. They are typically quite knowledgeable about research. Expert librarians have a degree in library science, and have done research and published papers.  Library science is more than organizing books. Librarians learn a little bit about all kinds of different subjects, enough so that they can usually understand the basics of your project and point you to what you need. Only consider buying them if you think you will find the useful in the future. Also consider buying their e-book version, if available, to save money. Avoid buying from the school store, if you can. Online retailers like Amazon are usually cheaper.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn about Siu Nim Tao. Understand Gong Lik: Understand Fajing: Understand Basic Skills:

Answer: Siu Nim (or Lim) Tao, or “Little Idea,” is the basis for many moves in Wing Chun. Siu Nim Tao is the first form in Wing Chun, and it is here that you will learn proper stance, holding your body, relaxation, and basic hand movements.  Each section of Siu Nim Tao should be mastered before advancing to the next section, and before learning other techniques. Every movement of the primary (first) form has meaning. This includes tempo, use of tension and relaxation, angles, and distances. The form does not contain techniques. Gong Lik is the first section of Siu Nim Tao and focuses on good structure and relaxation. You will learn the open stance, which faces you head-on to your opponent. Work on keeping your body relaxed. Practice the Gee Kim Yeung Ma stance, or the open stance. In this stance, stand facing forward. Point your feet outward slightly. Keep your knees bent. Your weight will distribute evenly over both feet. You will focus on the positioning of your arms and elbows in preparation for learning hand and arm movements. This front-on stance will give you the most advantage in a fight, such as allowing your arms and legs to protect your center line. Both sides of your body can be used equally, rather than favoring one side of the body over the other. Fajing is the second section of Siu Nim Tao. Fajing develops the release of power. Here, you learn how to use strength and how to preserve strength and energy. Focus on staying relaxed until the moment when your hands are ready to strike. One of the common movements in Fajing is the palm strike (yan jeung) in which your left hand opens, rotates to face downward, and moves downward to strike your opponent. The third section of Siu Nim Tao is learning basic skills of hand movements and blocking that will provide the foundation for learning other Wing Chun techniques. Some of these basic skills are Pak Sau or Huen Sau (strike), Tan Sau (palm up block), Gan Sau (splitting hand), and Bong Sau (wing arm). Much of the Siu Nim Tao practice in this section involves a combination of these movements. Once you learn these skills, you will practice them first on the left hand side and then on the right hand side.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Apply a good foundation. Rub face primer on your shoulders. Use a bronzer on your face and collarbone.

Answer: Fortunately, foundation doesn’t have to be expensive to be good.  Look for a liquid foundation that’s relatively creamy, and if possible, one that contains silicone.  Most importantly, you want to buy a foundation that matches your skin tone.  Use a cosmetic sponge to apply your foundation, and make sure that you don’t put it on too thick, as that will just accentuate any wrinkles or bumps that you have. You can hold the bottle up to your neck to get a good idea of your face’s skin tone. Face primer contains light diffusers and are great for diffusing light, smoothing skin, and drawing attention to all the right places.  Apply face primer to your shoulders, arms, legs, and even your back to achieve a smooth, brilliant look.  Instead of buying an expensive primer, consider using a little baby powder instead. Primer is typically pretty expensive, but you can usually get it at a great discounted price.  You can look through your Sunday paper for sales and coupons, often combining the two for an even better deal. Buy a brown-toned bronzer while avoiding orange or metallic bronzers, which give an unnatural look.  With a wide make-up brush, apply bronzer to all areas of your face and collarbone that would naturally tan first:  your forehead, your cheek and jaw bones, and your nose.  Lightly dust your face and collarbone with bronzer to draw attention to specific parts of your face and shoulders, while smoothing out the appearance of the rest  of your face.  Choose a bronzer by what color you are when you tan naturally.  Bronzers usually come in three shades:  light, medium, and dark.   So, if you are fair complected or just don’t tan much at all, you’ll want a light bronzer. Bronzer is another typically expensive product. As with primer, look through your local advertisements for a sale on cosmetics.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick a good song to parody. Listen to your song. Leave some phrases. Start generating the theme for your parody.

Answer:
It needs to be a song that people recognize instantly, so a current pop hit or an old standard would be a good choice. Again, make sure it’s also a song that appeals to your target audience. If you’re writing a parody song for your friends who love hip hop, you might pick a Kanye West song instead of a Katy Perry song.  Pick a song with a distinct chorus and verses. The more separate and obvious the verses and choruses of a song are, the easier it will be to write your parody. The chorus can be repeated multiple times, and you’ll only need to write new words for the verses. Pick a song you like. Parody writers generally admire the songs that they parody, and decide to make them funnier. You'll also have to listen to the song many times to write the lyrics, so don't pick a song that you dislike. Listen to the song a few times to get a feeling for the beat and the flow of the lyrics. Start thinking about good substitutes for words in the songs. Some parodies will come naturally, because the words may sound like other, more funny words or plots. For example, Weird Al’s “Eat It” and “White and Nerdy” started out as “Beat It” and “Ridin’ Dirty.” Think about potential substitutes. The kind of lyrics you'll want to write obviously depend on your sense of humor and the type of song, but there are different things you can look out for. Listen for words in the chorus that could be substituted for other words, especially if the new words are silly or ridiculous: "Sugar" by Maroon 5 might become "Booger", while "Hotline Bling" by Drake could become "Burger King". For some songs, you may not have to change certain lyrics. If some lines could have double meanings, leave them to create extra comedic effect. For example, “TNT” by AC/DC could become an education song about actual explosives, while “Stone Cold” by Demi Lovato could turn into a song about the wrestler. You’ll want your parody to have a cohesive theme from start to finish. Some parodies tell stories, while others describe situations or types of people. Either way, you’ll want the chorus and verses to play off of each other, instead of having them be disjointed or about topics that don’t match up.  Change a word to something silly to generate your theme. Once you have one funny word, like "Booger" instead of "Sugar" or "Burger King" instead of "Hotline Bling", build the rest of the song around it. "Burger King" could be about working at a Burger King or going on a late night run for fast food, while "Booger" could turn into a story about gross bodily functions. Make up a story. If you haven't found any substitute words yet, simply make up your own topic. The more off the wall it is, the funnier your parody will be. "Work" by Rihanna could become a story about hating your job, while "Trap Queen" by Fetty Wap could turn into a story about a female fur trapping expert from Alaska. Write educational content with a sense of humor. Write a Christian-Pop-style song about Charles Darwin or a song about geology to the tune of "I Love Rock and Roll." Make sure to include all of the information you want to teach in your educational song: the catchier it is, the easier the material will be to remember.
