We face problems in our everyday life. They can be social problems, relationship problems, or problems at work. Don’t worry.  (1)  

●Be aware of problem

First of all, it is important to know and understand the problem clearly.  (2)  Following questions like why, what, how, when, where and who will take you to the root cause of the problem.

●Analyze the problem.

Analyzing the problem will give you time to think of a proper solution.  (3)  .They can be diagrams, or lists, etc.

●  (4)  ．

Leave out the information that isn't required for the solving of the problem. You need to be accurate with the details. Keeping the unrelated information can sometimes complicate the simple problem as we don't notice the important information.

●Carry out the solution.

Putting the solution into effect in a correct way to get the result expected is important while solving a problem.  (5)  ．Being ready with alternatives is also important in case a solution works only halfway.

A hobby is an investment（投资） of time. It also can be an investment of money and commitment. Many people choose to develop more than one type of hobby.   (1)   When it comes to choosing the hobby, consider the following factors.

Hobbies are usually an activity of some sort that brings out a certain skill that you have. When you have a talent like painting or woodworking, it can be easy to determine which hobby suits your skill.  (2)  Skill can be developed and challenged as you go along. It is not a necessary requirement. A hobby is fitting because you love it, not because you’re a professional（专业的）at it.

Some people particularly enjoy taking part in hobbies that they can do in a group with others. It can be a lot more fun to become a member of a hobby group than to sit alone in your basement（地下室）.   (3)    It’s important to share interests and network with other hobby enthusiasts （有热情的人）that do what you do.

Hobbies are generally an activity that you undertake because of the joy it brings you. Of course many people have discovered the joy that also comes with a hobby that earns you a living.  (4)    Just make sure you make the choice that fits your lifestyle and personal preference.

  (5)   But most of the skilled hobbies like art, building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials（学习辅导，教程） that you can take to further your skills. In some cases it’s a really good idea to take lessons, especially if you are clueless as to where or how to begin. Step by step books for most hobbies can often be found in bookstores as well.

Get ahead by taking advantage of summer

Summer provides the best opportunity for future college applicants to separate themselves from the crowd. As the number of students who apply to colleges continues to rise, so too does the need for students to make an effort to distinguish themselves. Here are some great options to get you off to a head start:

A taste of college at home

Some universities and colleges offer a variety of advanced classes during the summer. Students can find a class that is not offered at their high school, which can help them find the pace of the real class more comfortable when they eventually start to take it.

Recently, online classes for credit（学分）are gaining popularity. One resource students can access is the Virtual High School – my.vhslearning.org. It is a nonprofit organization for online education that offers 24 AP courses, as well as dozens of other classes.

A taste of college far away

Experiencing a real college campus during a one-week or multi-week summer program is a great way to get a better understanding of whether the college is a good fit. Many of these programs offer hands-on experiences or guest lectures from experts.

Some are under the mistaken impression that attending a summer program at a good school gives them an advantage in the admissions process. “I don’t know that they are impressive just because a student did an academic program,” Greg Zaiser, head of admissions at Elon University, told The Charlotte Observer. “What impresses us the most is that students have identified something they want to study after the program.”

Community service

Volunteering is a great way to show interest in something you care about. It also lets you give back to your community, explore a career path and grow personally. Find ways to volunteer what matches your interests. Check out opportunities at hospitals or libraries; teach your favorite sport to disadvantaged youths; or work with animals.
