Reading

2. CLB5R Follow instructions on how to unclog a drain using a commercial product.

1.Put the following instructions in the correct order:

1)After clearing clog with Drano® Max Gel Clog Remover, follow up monthly with Drano® Prevention to prevent future clogs.
2)Before going on to the second step, lock cap, pushing down on cap and screwing on tightly. 
3)First, carefully push down on childproof cap with palm of hand and turn cap counterclockwise. Don't squeeze bottle or splash product. (Clean up any spills at once.) 
4)For garbage disposal drains, follow steps two through four. If drain does not clear, do not turn on disposal since Drano® Max Gel Clog Remover may splash back. Consult plumber. 
5)For tough problems, allow 30 minutes. Flush with hot water. Repeat steps two, three, and four if necessary. 
6)Second, for use on clogged or slow-running drains, pour one half of the bottle (32 oz. size; one fourth of the 64 oz. size) slowly over drain. For extremely slow-running drains or complete clogs, pour in entire contents of 32 oz. bottle or one half of the 64 oz. bottle. 
7)Third, allow to work for 15 minutes. 
  3-2-6-7-5-4-1

2.What is a cheaper and more effective way of dealing with clogged drains? If your uncle is about to buy some Drano® product to unclog a drain at home, how will you advise him? Record your 60-second advice on Chirbit.com.
I used cheaper seepages to prevent  drains from being clogged. Seepages have  enough  small wire holes that can prevent  large garbage blocks leaking down. Everyday I just need to put the garbage blocks out in time.
If my uncle is about to buy some Drano® product to unclog a drain at home, I will  advise that he should buy it for  monthly use to prevent future clogs. While using it he must  follow  instructions carefully.Especially, for safety, do not splash product.If drain does not clear, do not turn on disposal since Drano® Max Gel Clog Remover may splash back.Most important, Consult plumber if necessary.

3.Ask yourself: Did you interpret sequence and location signals (such as first, next and before); and follow instructions and directions by responding with actions as required to complete task?
Yes, I did it.I think to grasp the gist firstly is most important for completing task.

2.CLB5S Give directions to a home or business.
    1. Record a voicemail of your directions on Chirbit.com.
    2. Begin with a polite greeting and the reason for the voicemail. Tell the person how to get from Don Mills Station to 1955 Steeles Ave East on the TTC, including the bus numbers, estimated waiting/arrival times, and street names.
    3. Ask yourself: Did you use appropriate courtesy forms and structures and appropriate expressions to sequence instructions?

my third time presentation in 2006

To be the master of emotions
Hi, there!Yesterday , I wrote a letter to our teacher Joseph, I said,Sorry for my absence for class recently. I just took my daughter to school this morning. She had been lost in rainy days since her mom went back to China. She often stayed up late and cried to see mom online. I tried to have lots of chat with her and ask for some children of my friends to play with her together. And now she's calming down. A child 's mood is just the same as weather. You love it and you hate it. Soon Joseph gave me warm regards. As we all know, this is a common conversation online. However, it is not only children, but also adults, should think of or talk about something. That is everyone should be the master of emotions so that everyday is a happy day, and a productive day. So, today, in my presentation, I want to talk about the easy way to be the master of our emotions.
Do you know the way ? Generally, I think, when someone permits his thoughts to control his actions , he is weak. On the contrary, when he forces actions to control thoughts, he is strong. That is to say, we can do something special, before being captured by the forces of sadness, self-pity and failure. Here are some suggestions. Look at this card.
If you feel depressed, try to sing a song.
If you feel sad, try to have a laugh.
If you feel ill, double your work.
If you feel fear, plunge ahead.
If you feel inferior, wear new suits.
If you feel uncertain, raise your voice.
If you feel poverty, think of wealth to come.
If you feel incompetent, remember your past success.
If you feel insignificant, remember your goals.

PROFESSOR HIGGINS:
Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so honest, so thoroughly __(1)_square_;
Eternally noble, historically __(2)_fair_.
Who, when you win, will always give your back a pat.
Why can't a woman be like that?

Why does every one do what the others do?
Can't a woman learn to use her head?
Why do they do everything their __(3)_morthers_ do?
Why don't they grow up, well, like their father __instead(4)__?

Why can't a woman take after a man?
Men are so pleasant, so easy to __(5)_please_.

But by and large we are a __(11)_marvellous_sex!

Why can't a woman take after a man?

COLONEL PICKERING:
Of course not.

PROFESSOR HIGGINS:
Why can't a woman be like us?

[dialog]

PROFESSOR HIGGINS:
Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so decent, such regular chaps;
Ready to help you through any mishaps;
Ready to buck you up whenever you're glum.
Why can't a woman be a chum?

Why is thinking something women never do?
And why is logic never even tried?
Straightening up their hair is all they ever do.
Why don't they straighten up the mess that's __(14)inside__?

Why can't a woman behave like a man?
If I was a woman who'd been to a ball,
Been hailed as a princess by one and by all;
Would I start weeping like a bathtub overflowing,
Or carry on as if my home were in a __(15)_tree_?
Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going?
Why can't a woman be like me?
