And being lawyers, they decided to make it 41 . It took two years to 42 the Milleys’ Differentiate Homework Plan, which ensures their youngest two children will never have to do homework again at their 43 school. The two-page plan, 44 by the children, parents and teachers, stipulates (约定) that “homework will not be used as a form of 45 for the children”. 46 , the pupils promise to get their work done in class, to come to school 47 , and to revise for tests.

50 .” She then wondered, “Why did we let our family 51 through that stress? If we don’t want it all, we shouldn’t have to 52 it.”

When no firm changes resulted from the committee, the couple began negotiating the legal document that 55 the matter.

Advertising is first journey marketing. Your only goal in advertising is to show enough gold to get people to want to be a prospect (期望). Forget about selling them anything.
Then how do you show them the gold? Keys to effective advertising are as follows. Talk to one person, and call his / her name.
On a crowded Manhattan street, elbow-to-elbow with a sea of people, I still heard someone speak in a conversational voice — “Mark.” I turned my head around. Of course he was talking to someone else, but it still caught my attention.
You need to speak to one person, and call his / her name. In marketing, the next best thing to a personal name is your Who and What. For example, “Golfers” = who “have knee pain affecting their swing?” = what. Educate them in a helpful way.
If you have room, take the time to explain one point that will help them with the problem they are facing. For smaller ads you can just point them towards a web page where you want to educatethem about something helpful.
For instance, “Most pain is actually caused by stress. Stopping the stress means decreasing or stopping the pain. Right now, just notice your knee pain. See if you can notice where your legs and hips feel tense, and breathe into the tension. As it relaxes, see how the pain feels.” If you have more space, you can go into more details.
Offer a trade: their contact information for something valuable.
“Of course, your knee pain isn’t gone completely. This is just a clue. If you’d like a free article with illustrations on how to decrease knee pain and help your swing, just leave your contact information and you will be given an additional golf swing tip every week.” You can just follow this example.
Finally, don’t ignore design.

Keep it simple. In a loud, overcrowded world, simplicity and straightforwardness have the best chance of being noticed. Use plenty of white space, easy-to-read front (字体), and avoid complicated patterns.
Besides, you can try Robin Williams (not THAT Robin Williams) book, The Non-Designer’s Design Book, Maybe you can learn something from it.
Have fun with your advertising!

Fantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have been literature. Since the 1950s however, a growing part of the fantasy genre (流派) has taken the form of video games, music, painting, and the like. It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature, as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial. On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George Macdonald.
Some commentators declared that the South African-born, English professor of philology, J. R. R. Tolkien, was influential to the mass-popularization of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications — The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths — particularly Beowulf — but it was after his work that the genre began to receive the name, “fantasy”. J. R. R. Tolkien’s close friend C.S. Lewis, author of the The Chronicles ofNarnia, also an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with
