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.

We seem to be losing the fight against landmines. While, every year, about 100.000 landmines are removed, 20,000,000 more are buried in the ground.   (1)   . Someone has to use a metal detector to find the mines. This is very inaccurate as the metal detector finds all metal objects, not just the mines, and it does not find new types of mines which are covered in plastic. Then he or she has to dig the mine out without setting it off.   (2)   .

   (3)   . Several countries are working on technological solutions to the landmines problem. As part of Japan’s support for finding and removing landmines in Afghanistan, Japanese scientists and engineers have been researching into robotics(机器人学). One of the most exciting projects is at Chiba University, where a robot that looks something like an insect is being developed. It is 4 meters long, 1.8 meters wide, 1 meter high, and weighs 900 kilograms, about the size of a small car. It walks on 6 legs and when it finds a mine, it marks the spot with paint and sends data to a computer which can then map the mines. As well as being much safer than finding mines by hand, the insect robot is also much faster.

  (4)   . The goal is for the computer to use the data it receives to determine not only whether an object is just a piece of metal or a mine, but also what type of mine it is. The researchers hope that mass production of robots will start in the next year or so and they will be used in such countries as Afghanistan and Cambodia.

In the 1990s world opinion built up against the use of landmines and, in 1997, 122 countries signed an agreement in Ottawa, Canada, to stop the manufacture and the use of landmines.   (5)  . Perhaps robotics will provide a solution, but as every 20 minutes goes by, one more person is killed or badly injured.

Maybe you are an ordinary student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however,  (1)  Here’s how:

When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do.   (2)  First plan your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television.  (3)  Studyregularly.

When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, and read that material.   (4)   If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.

There are other methods that might help you with your study. You will probably discover some of them after you have tried these.

Most students want to be able to accomplish much in as little time as possible. That’s completely understandable!    (1)   Here are some tips that will help you be as efficient as possible and get your school work done even when you’re feeling lazy.

What if you have a lot of research material to read through but you’re mainly interested in finding out what it says about a certain topic? Use you “Ctrl+F” function to find keywords.    (2)  

When you have something that needs to be done, don’t go out and party instead.    (3)    Keep your priorities straight. You are at school to study, learn and graduate. Parties are a secondary thing.

  (4)   Have an agreement ahead of time that when the study group meets, you’re only allowed to discuss the subject at hand. It will gradually become a habit.

Time management is very important! Using your time wisely is probably the most important life lesson you can learn. Balancing fun with work and making work fun can be a challenge at first.   (5)

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job.   (1)  

So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Cheer up!   (2)   Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly.   (3)  Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.   (4)  And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches ! You’re not convinced yet?    (5)  

Ways to Save Time

     We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

   　  (1)  　But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

1 . Get Out of Bed Earlier

     If you normally get up at 7: 30 a. m. , try getting up at 7: 00 a. m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you’ve been meaning to finish. 　  (2)  

2 . Do the Important Tasks First

     Once you get to work, get the important ones done first(not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at l-east an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.

　  (3)  　The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won’t miss the important ones.

3 . Reduce Interruptions

       If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

   When you’ve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 　  (4)  　Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.

4 . 　  (5)  

       A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.

      When you’re working, work.  If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your le-gs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.
