A.Introduction
This section will discuss those forces, seeking to destroy your hard-won knowledge of English: From other people, from yourself, in terms of “other things coming in”, and in terms of materials/resources.

B.Body

1. From other people---“Who” and “what”

3.  “Other things coming in”-- “oppression”, “distraction”, and  “temptation” .

4. How to avoid the problems and exploit them creatively

1. Introduction

This section will re-examine the many problems raised in the previous section, then suggest some ways to solve these problems on-site, rather than leave them for another place.

2. Body
   1. From other people
   2. From yourself
   3.  “Other things coming in”
   4. Materials/Resources

C.  Conclusion

1. Part of learning English is to use what you have – exploit problems, not people.
2. Always problems, so if you know how to turn them into solutions, you can usually get solutions. (Lemons to lemonade.)
3. Some problems can’t be solved, so avoid, or “manage” creatively.
4. Consider this approach as a sort of “training” for what is to follow. Now, prepares you and tests your resolve. Then, get creative.
5. C.S.—In the next sections, we will talk about how to really make a “slow-burning” revolution in learning English – first, the solutions available, then some ideas on how to make those solutions happen, which is what you really want. Get ready.

C. Conclusion

1. This section about cells – inspiration from, structure, characteristic and core values. An effective tool.
2. Also about helping others, and helping yourself. Many options.
3. C.S. – “Even if you disagree with cells as being too political, or helping other people as being impractical, do this one thing – take full control of the learning process, put it on your terms and determine the outcome from the start. The days of life talking down to you are over.” Next, we will discuss putting some of these ideas into practice.

6. How to make the solutions happen
