Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Teach keeping track of time. Discuss options for creating enough time for studying. Teach the importance of being organized.

Answer: Have students make schedules of what they do each day. What time do they get home from school? What after school activities do they have each week? When could they do homework and study? Have students fill out a weekly calendar with what they do each week. Some students may have plenty of time left over to study, others may not. If your students have many out of school activities, but are not allowing time to complete their work and do well, discuss this with them. It is important to have extracurricular interests, but depending on the amount of homework they have, they need to schedule enough time for getting work finished. This may mean cutting out one or two extracurricular activities. Be sure students have separate folders for each school subject. This becomes more important in middle school and beyond, though it may also come in handy in their elementary school classes. Let them know that keeping their work for each class together will help them tremendously while studying  In each folder, tell them to keep things they still need to turn in and the directions/assignments on the left side, and completed work that’s already corrected and given back on the right side. They should keep everything from classes to study later on. If the folder gets too filled up, have a “home” portfolio to keep completed work until the end of the year, and keep this organized by subjects too. They can even staple together certain projects that have many pages and all the work pertaining to a certain topic in each class. For instance, all multiplication work can be paper clipped together, and then all division work in a different pile, in the math folder.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Grow your hair. Exfoliate. Powder your legs. Warm it up. Pull up a comfy chair. Pull! Remove all the residues of wax from the surface of your skin. Apply an antiseptic.

Answer: For waxing to work, there has to be enough hair on your legs for the wax to latch onto. Let your leg hair grow to at least 1/4 inch (1 cm) in length. A couple of days before you wax your legs, use a mildly abrasive body scrub to exfoliate them. Do this ahead of time to avoid possible skin irritation problems. Just before you wax, sprinkle talc or baby powder on your legs. The powder will absorb any oil on your skin, and the wax sticks more easily to the hair. Heat the wax as directed by the manufacturer. Be sure not to overheat the wax—the resulting wax burns can be very painful. Have a seat on a surface that can be easily cleaned—waxing can be messy. Apply the wax carefully in a thin, uniform layer. Hold the applicator at a 90° angle, and apply the wax in the direction of hair growth. Don't forget the feet! Make the skin taut with one hand, and remove the strip with the other. Pull the strip in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Pull quickly—the slower you pull, the longer the pain.  Keep your hand as close to the skin as possible when you're pulling. It'll be less painful that way. Remove all the wax. Apply a damp cloth over your legs if needed, to soothe any irritation. Soak a cotton pad with a bit of body oil, and apply it on your legs. After waxing, use a topical or spray-on antiseptic (containing salicylic acid) to disinfect the area, stop ingrown hairs from forming, and sooth irritation.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a standard clothes hanger. Place the hanger inside your closet.

Answer: A standard clothes hanger will be shaped like a triangle. It has two diagonal bars, and a horizontal bar at the bottom. The method works great for any type of pants, but the pants are more likely to slip off. If your pants keep sliding off, you can secure them with a clothespin. Simply clip a clothespin or two across the horizontal bar.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select pieces that reflect your personality. Choose pieces that flatter your body shape. Add vintage embellishments to your modern pieces.

Answer:
Think about your previous favorite looks and clothing styles, then look for retro equivalents. Have you always gravitated toward simple pieces or do you prefer to be avant-garde with your style? Do you tend to wear dressy or casual items? Do you like sharp, clean lines or loose and flowing ones? Patterns or solids? Every era has a vast array of styles – there is no “one” look for any decade. You can find something that represents your personality in any of them!  Stay true to what feels natural to you. You should feel like yourself in whatever you’re wearing, not like someone playing dress up. Choose items that appeal to you rather than selecting pieces just because they "look retro." Some retro items are going to look better on you than others. Experiment with anything that catches your eye, but whenever you find something that works really well for you, look for other items similar to it. For example, if you discover that loose and flowing 60s blouses look great on you, you could search for similar styles in different colors and other cuts.  As you discover additional pieces that are flattering, continue to add to your retro wardrobe and develop your own unique style. Select vintage pieces that fit you well and highlight your best features.  Whenever possible, try on a garment before buying it. Don’t be afraid to alter pieces that you really like so that they fit you perfectly. Instead of revamping your entire style and replacing your entire wardrobe, think about adding retro touches to clothing you already own. Try adding patches to your jeans, changing the buttons on a shirt, embellishing a jacket with fringe and so on. Get creative!  Try repurposing some of your current clothing with retro elements bought from a thrift store. For instance, you could sew a 60s style shirt collar onto a top you already own. Give a modern outfit a little retro flair by adding vintage accessories to go with it.
