Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make an ammonia repellent. Make a vinegar spray. Make a saltwater spray. Create a tobacco spray.

Answer: Combine 1 part ammonia and 1 part water in a spray bottle, then close the spray bottle and shake. Spray the ammonia spray around entry points in your house and other places where spiders tend to gather. Reapply the spray every week. Instead of making a spray, you can also dip a cloth in the solution and use it to wipe around the entry points of your house for a more concentrated application. Combine one part vinegar to two parts water in a spray bottle and shake to mix. Spray the vinegar spray around doorways, window frames, or other points of entry in your house, reapplying the spray every week for the best results. Pour half an ounce (14.78 ml) of salt into a half gallon (1.89 liters) of warm water and mix until the salt is dissolved. Then pour the mixture into a spray bottle. Use the spray on points of entry to deter spiders, reapplying the spray once a week. Spraying salt water directly on a spider can kill it. Fill a spray bottle almost to the top with hot water, then add a healthy pinch of tobacco. Allow the tobacco to soak into and infuse the water for about an hour, then spray the mixture around the entry points of your home. The strong smell of the tobacco will drive away unwanted spiders.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose where to hang the framed canvas. Find a wall stud for large pictures. Hammer a nail into the wall. Place the frame on the nail.

Answer: If you want the picture to get more attention, hang it in a busy area like a doorway or the middle of a room. If it isn't an important picture, put it in a less busy area like a hallway or the corner of a room. For small to medium pictures, it is not necessary to find a wall stud, but for larger frames, a wall stud is necessary to hang it safely.  From the center of a wall, wall studs are usually spaced 16-24 inches apart.  Use a measuring tape to find out where your wall stud is likely to be. Some people can hear wall studs by knocking on a wall with their knuckles. When the sound changes, there is a wall stud nearby. Grasp the nail with your thumb and first finger, and strike the nail with enough force for it to enter the wall. Remove your fingers once the nail is steadily inserted into the wall, and continue hammering until only a few centimeters of the nail is still outside of the wall.  A standard 16-ounce hammer will suffice. One 2-inch nail will support most pictures.  Try to hammer the nail at a 45 degree angle.  Hanging pictures 57 inches off the ground is standard. This is the average human eye-height and is regularly used in galleries and museums. Lift the frame, and place the hanger wire on the wall over the nail. Remove your hands slowly, and the frame should hang.  Ensure that the frame hangs safely and is not too heavy for the nail. If the frame is too heavy, use another nail to support it. Check that the frame hangs straight. If not, adjust it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use good grammar when speaking. Say what you mean without demeaning another.

Answer: Well constructed sentences impart information more clearly than using slang or vague meanings. When you use grammar properly, it is easier for the listener to grasp your meaning without having to struggle. While slang may be the "in" thing for your clique, family or group, avoid using it with people outside that circle of intimates. Slang rarely travels well. Be assertive, not aggressive or manipulative. This means stating clearly and firmly what your needs, interests and preferences are without overriding the interests or needs of the listener. If you are aggressive or manipulative, this places the listener on the defensive and isn't a nice way to engage in a discussion. Do not directly blame the listener's personal traits. If the listener has done a poor job of something, state how the job was done poorly rather than calling the person sloppy, lazy or thoughtless.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Multiply length and width to calculate square feet. Use your height to visualize square feet. Measure your stride. Try measuring with your feet. Use your hand to measure smaller objects.

Answer:
It's important to understand what a square foot is so you can use your body to draw out an imaginary square foot. A square foot is basically a square that's 12 inches (30.5 cm) on each side. To measure the approximate square footage of a space, you measure the length and width of a space. Then, you multiply the numbers to get the total square feet.  For example, a table that's 4 feet (122 cm) by 3 feet (91 cm) would be about 12 square feet. Rooms in odd shapes, however, often have special considerations to take. These calculations are to help you roughly picture or estimate square feet and shouldn't be used to give an exact value. If you don't know the rough measurements of your hands, feet, and other body parts, you probably know your height. You can use your height to approximate square feet in a space. If you need to estimate your apartment's precise square feet, you can lie down against the walls to measure the length and width. For example, if you're six feet tall, and you can lie down twice along the shorter wall of your apartment, its width is 12 feet (3.7 m). If you can lie down four times along the longer portion, the length is 48. Multiply the numbers to get approximately 576 square feet. You can also try measuring the space between steps in your stride. You can lay a measuring tape of the floor to get a sense of the length between your strides. If you're trying to measure room space, you can walk along the wall and see how many strides you can take to measure the length and width of a room. If you average about a foot between strides, and can make 15 strides along one wall and 12 along the other, the rough length and width of the room is 10 by 5. Multiple this to get 180 square feet. A lot of people know the length of their feet off-hand. If you've ever had to measure your feet at a shoe-fitting, and remember their length, these can be used to picture or estimate square feet. Say you're buying an end table that will allegedly take up 3 square feet. You can't know the exact length and width, but for a rough idea of how much space the table will take, imagine a table that's 1.5 feet (0.5 m) wide and 1.5 feet long. If your feet are 9 inches (22.9 cm), that's about two of your feet for either side of the table. If you're measuring very small objects, you can use your hand as a guide. If you know the rough measurement from the tips of your fingers to your palm, you can place your hand along the side of objects to get a sense of their rough square footage. If you're measuring an end table, for example, say you can fit three hands along one side and three hands along the other. Your hands are about six inches each, making the table 1.5 feet (0.5 m) by 1.5 feet. It takes up about 3 square feet of floor space.
