Article: Learning a new language can be a stressful experience for many adults, and can make them feel like children struggling to pick up something new.  Build on the positives of this perspective by enabling your students to have some fun with it.  Most adults like to reminisce about their own childhood, or that of their growing / grown children.  Let them pick a favorite kids' book from one of those times that is available in the foreign language, and read it together in class.  It will seem familiar but new, and fun but challenging.  Listen to songs, even sing songs together in class.  Use familiar nursery rhymes and lullabyes in the foreign language, along with songs distinct to that language / culture. Most adults will be sympathetic to the experiences of the other students in the class, and want to help each other succeed.  And, according to the notions of task-based learning discussed in this article, having students learn from each other's successes and mistakes is vital to adult language development.  One good paired activity is the aforementioned "information gap" game of having one student describe a picture in the foreign language to another, who must draw it.  A similar option is having students do a variation of the old "pass a secret down the line" game, except having them alternate the language in which the sentence is whispered -- (essentially translating back and forth down the line). Even simply encouraging your students to listen to each other carefully as they attempt to solve problems and answer questions can be quite useful.  Hearing others struggle and succeed provides both consolation and challenge.  Each student will also naturally "notice the gap" between the response given, how they would have responded, and/or the correct response, thereby helping to build confidence and competence. Unlike many child students, adult learners usually have a specific goal in mind for wanting to learn a foreign language.  Crafting activities that support this goal, and offering related goals and rewards along the way can fuel motivation and a sense of achievement.  If your adult student hopes to land in a foreign country and be able to "jump right in," consider having them watch episodes of a program in that language (without subtitles!), and attempt to summarize what they can from full-speed conversations in the foreign tongue.  Set up a pretend restaurant, for instance, in the classroom.  Offer simple prizes for the student(s) who do best in ordering lunch.  Adults like to be rewarded for small achievements just as much as children. No, the adult classroom, just like the child one, cannot be all fun and games.  Most adults will want it to be a fun experience, but in the end, learning the language is the goal.  Some of the traditional methods that have at least partly fallen out of favor may be of more value to adult learners, especially those who are self-motivated to learn the language.  They will be more willing to copy down verb tables and go through flash-card drills.  Speaking of copying down information, encouraging your students to write down information longhand may be beneficial.  (It will also probably be easier to convince adults to do this than their tech-savvy kids.)  Research indicates that handwriting information aids memorization more than typing, as it requires more active participation in the process.

Let the adults be kids. Help students help one another. Offer goals and rewards. Don't skip the work.

Problem: Article: An ophthalmologist is a medical professional who specializes in eye care. If you think you have surfer’s eye, make an appointment with an ophthalmologist or have your primary care physician refer you to one.  The doctor will examine you and question you about your symptoms. An ophthalmologist will use special equipment to examine your eye in detail. The doctor may perform further diagnostics to confirm their diagnosis. One of the most common ways of treating surfer’s eye is with topical lubrication drops. These drops will reduce dryness and alleviate other symptoms.  Eye drops may be prescription or over-the-counter. An example is GenTeal drops. Your doctor may also prescribe artificial tears. This might include, for example, Refresh Tears. Steroid eye drops are sometimes prescribed as an adjunct to regular eye drops. These drops help reduce inflammation, which in turn, reduces other symptoms.  Steroid drops will most likely be used on a short-term basis. Only use steroid drops under the consultation of your medical professional, as they could increase your chance of other eye diseases. Steroid drops are often prescribed when symptoms are severe.
Summary: Consult an ophthalmologist. Use non-steroid eye drops. Use steroid drops.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once you know where you want to place your lure or bait, line your shoulders up so that you’re square with your target. Put your dominant leg 1–2 feet (30–61 cm) behind you and bend your knees slightly. The bail is the thin strip of plastic or metal that connects to opposite sides of your reel. It locks and unlocks your spool to make sure that your line releases properly. Switch your bail’s position so that it’s open, and check to make sure that your reel is unlocked by lifting your index figure off of the line 0.5–1 inch (1.3–2.5 cm) for half of a second to see if the line releases. If it doesn’t, flip it the other way. If your bail is locked, it could snap your line and send your bait or lure flying into the water. Slowly and carefully lift your rod, keeping the end of the fishing pole pointing away from you as you do it. Use your wrist and elbow to raise it and pull the rod directly over your shoulder. Point the rod slightly behind you with your index finger still gripping the line. Use your elbow as a hinge to propel your wrist in the direction that you want to cast. If you want more distance, drag your bicep down 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) as you’re doing this to add some additional force. Keep your feet planted firmly on the ground and try to keep your shoulders lined up with your target. As your forearm begins to move, lift your index off of the fishing line and point it away from your rod. This will relieve the tension on your line and allow the force of your forward motion to propel your rig forward. Slow your arm down and stop your follow through as soon as you see the line flying through the air and you have the rod pointing towards the target. If your finger is close to the line as you’re casting it, you could scratch or cut yourself from the friction created by the twine as it’s flying away.

SUMMARY: Identify where you want to throw your line and rotate your body. Flip the bail on your spool to unlock the line. Raise the rod over your dominant shoulder. Throw your rod by propelling your forearm towards your target. Release your line by lifting your finger as you cast it.

Sometimes, it’s that pro bono case or that case where you charge a reduced fee in which you can make the most difference. And earning six figures isn’t necessarily success for every lawyer. Many attorneys who work at legal aid offices, government offices, and other lower-paying jobs are perfectly happy with their careers and make a huge difference in other peoples’ lives. Some lawyers consider themselves successful when they make partner at a high-powered law firm. Others are content to make a living in their solo practices. Still others consider non-profit or public interest work to be the key to success in their lives. In the end, a successful career as a lawyer is what you consider it to be, not others. Attorneys often work long hours and deal with stressful situations on a daily basis. Learn how to let go of stress and manage it on a day-to-day basis.
