Plan out how long you have to memorize the essay. If you have more time, you can study a little each day for 20 or 30 minutes. If you only have a day or 2, you can memorize it in 30-minute chunks with a break of an hour or 2 in between. Memorization is easiest when done in small chunks. Break the essay down into small sections. Depending on the length of the essay, each section might be a few sentences, one paragraph, or even one page. Start early when you need to memorize something. Give yourself 1 day for every paragraph or page. Master 1 section each day. Once you have memorized 2 sections separately, try putting them together. Reading the essay out loud is important because it forces you to read and speak every single word in the essay. This will help you remember it. After you have studied the text for a while, put it down, and recite as much as you can from memory. At first, you may not remember much, but every time you practice, you will recall more and more.  Use a partner to test you on what you've memorized. If you miss a word or forget a line, they can prompt you by telling you the next word or two. You might also want to arrange to practice in front of an audience of a few people. This will help to add some pressure, which may be beneficial to you later. If the essay is long, you may find it easier to start at the end. Begin by memorizing the last sentence or paragraph, then move back to the sentence or paragraph right before that 1. If you only have a short time to learn the essay, you should study it in small doses with breaks in between each session. Use memory boosting techniques, such as visualization and walking back and forth, to help make your memorization more effective.  For example, you might study it for 15 minutes and take a 10-minute break before studying for another 15 minutes. Try writing out the essay once or twice. This can improve your memory.  Avoid cramming the night before. Memorizing something in 1 session is not the most effective way to learn it. Repetition in small chunks will help more than cramming the essay all in 1 long session.

summary: Make a schedule. Break the essay down into parts. Memorize a little bit each day. Read the essay out loud to start learning it. Test yourself after reading. Start from the end if going from the beginning is not working. Break up your study session to memorize quickly.

Use a sharp knife that is thin enough to get into the opening of the bottle.  For this method, you’ll have better luck if you use a flat knife and not a serrated one. The flat knife will be able to smoothly slide into the cork without as much resistance as a serrated knife. Push the knife about 1 inch (25 mm) into the cork.  Don’t push the knife into the center of the cork. You need to get it in on the edge so that when you turn it you can make larger turns. You’re not unscrewing the cork as much as you’re turning the knife and cork together. This motion is more like turning a door knob than unscrewing a bottle cap. Pull up as you turn the knife. Be very careful here as you will now need to grip the flat part of the knife’s blade.  Wear gloves if you have some to protect your fingers. Start turning the knife, very slowly, around the mouth of the bottle. The knife should be angled at roughly forty-five degrees to give it leverage. You may have to try wedging the blade of the knife between the bottle and the cork, depending on how much cork you have to work with. Once you’re able to pull the cork up enough to get a good grip with your fingers, remove the knife. As soon you don’t the need the knife as a wedge to pull up the cork, put it down and remove the remainder of the cork with your fingers. Then, enjoy your wine or champagne.

summary: Grab a knife. Insert the knife into the cork near the cork’s edge and the neck of the bottle. Turn the knife. Twist the cork out.

It is possible to conceive while you are in a long distance relationship. To increase your chances of becoming pregnant, you need to follow several steps to monitor your body to help improve your odds. Learning to track and monitor your menstrual cycle is one of the most important things you can do to monitor your fertility.  Tracking your cycle will help you figure out when you are ovulating. Ovulation is when your body releases a mature egg that is ready for fertilization. Ovulation typically occurs around day 14 of your menstrual cycle. Most women have a cycle of about 28 days. You are most fertile in the three days immediately before ovulation. Typically, these are the 11th, 12th, and 13th days of your cycle. Make a note on the calendar on the first day of your period. This is the first day of your cycle. Many women have irregular periods. This can make it more difficult to predict ovulation. You are most fertile in the days leading up to ovulation. This is the ideal time to have sex. If you have to choose only three days a month to be with your partner, choose the three days prior to ovulation. Paying attention to your body can help you figure out the best times during the month to have sex. You can then plan visits with your partner during those times. Monitoring your cervical mucus is another natural way to help keep track of your most fertile days.  Cervical mucus is a thick, fluid like substance released by your vagina. In the days leading up to ovulation, this mucus is more likely to be clear and slippery. It may look like egg whites. On your least fertile days, the mucus will be thicker and cloudier. You may produce no mucus at all after you are done ovulating for the month. You can purchase an over the counter product that can help predict ovulation. Most drugstores sell ovulation kits. Ask your pharmacist if he recommends a particular brand.  Using an ovulation kit can help you figure out your most fertile days. You and your partner can try to plan to be together on those days. Follow the directions on the package of your kit. You will be testing your urine. You will either collect your urine in a small cup or you will urinate on a stick. Most kits recommend that you try to test your urine at approximately the same time each day for the most reliable results. After waiting the specified amount of time, the test will indicate whether you are in your fertile window or not. Another natural way to chart your most fertile days is by keeping track of your body temperature. Basal body temperature is the temperature of your body when it is at rest. This number fluctuates throughout your cycle. Take your temperature each day to help predict ovulation.  Your body temperature is lowest during the first days of your cycle. It will increase after ovulation. Typically, your body temperature will be 96-98 degrees before ovulation and 97-99 degrees after ovulation. It is important to take your temperature at the same time and using the same method each day. Keep track of what is normal for your body. Purchase a thermometer that specifically takes basal body temperature. These are available at most drug stores, and you can select an oral or rectal thermometer.
summary: Track your cycle. Monitor your mucus. Use an ovulation kit. Track your temperature.
