Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Push off and start riding. Adjust your board to make turning easier.

Answer: Place your front foot on the board just behind the nose and push off against the ground with your back foot. Give yourself three or four strong pushes to get moving at a decent speed. Set your back foot on the board. You should now be cruising along, aimed straight ahead.  It’s recommended that you get comfortable with the basics of skateboarding before attempting to learn how to turn. Strap up with the proper protective gear—a helmet, wrist guards and knee and elbow pads—to safeguard yourself against scrapes, bruises and more serious injuries. If you find that it’s difficult to perform leaning turns on your board, it may be because your trucks are too tight. Use a crescent or socket wrench to take a little tension out of the nut that secures and tightens the trucks. This will enhance their range and ease of motion, allowing you to glide into turns effortlessly.  Looser trucks will make leaning turns easier, but will reduce the overall stability of the board, as the deck will be able to move around more freely of the wheels.  Play around with different levels of tightness in the trucks to strike the right balance between stability and ease of movement.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Line different sections to make them more distinct. Make your own one-of-a-kind planters. Bring in a few enhancement plants. Keep your decorations minimal.

Answer: There are much more stylish boundary markers than boring plastic bed liners. Try walling off individual plots with stacked stones or use sawed timber to contain mounds of mulch. If you’ve got a steady hand and a little patience, you could even plant low shrubs around the perimeter of your flower beds to limit the number of foreign materials you bring into your garden.  Knee-high trellises or a series of connected stakes will help prevent those on foot from trampling new growth that’s just beginning to spring up. It’s best to select edging materials that can be sunk into the ground in order to make sure that they stay put. Fill wheelbarrows, wooden crates, or gaping burlap sacks with potting soil to provide an eye-catching enclosure for your prized plants. Compact containers like buckets or lidless watering cans are the perfect size for housing plants like fresh herbs or seasonal flowers that don’t produce much foliage.  Consider hanging smaller planters to make the most of the ground space you have available. Get creative and experiment with a variety of found and modified objects. Almost any container can work as a planter as long as it’s watertight and big enough to hold the species you’re growing. Distribute strands of English ivy, honeysuckle, or wisteria throughout your garden in places where the vegetation is currently lacking. Sewing moss on new brick or between the grouting in a cobblestone path is another good way to inject a splash of added greenery. When planted strategically, these accents can make your garden appear untouched by time. Many “filler” type species are invasive, and can quickly take over your space if you’re not careful about keeping them pruned. No matter how you decide to deck out your garden, it’s important to remember that the plants and flowers themselves are the main attraction. It’s better to choose a handful of simple yet elegant touches than overplay your hand as a designer and try to juggle too many disconnected elements. Your flowering plants should have plenty of room to breathe, and you yourself should have plenty of room to take a sunlit stroll or tend to the duties of cultivating.  Start conservatively and add more pieces from there, striving to tie the entire space together organically. If you an overabundance of furniture, ornamental accessories, and other items, you may end up with a space that looks cluttered and junked up.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Reflect on your relationship. Write about your feelings. Deal with your anger. Stand by your decision. Remind yourself of your ex’s negative traits. Consider the reasons why you are better off without your ex.

Answer:
Consider all of the reasons that you and your ex broke up. Try to keep in mind that even if that you enjoyed being together for a while, something was not working.  Thinking about the reasons why the relationship ended can help you understand why you need to move on. You may also be able to avoid making the same mistakes in the future if you can identify areas where you contributed to the demise of the relationship. Ask yourself some of the following questions:  Did I contribute to the end of the relationship? If so, what did I do? Do I tend to choose the same sort of people to date? If so, what are they like? Are they good for me? Why or why not? Have I had similar problems in other relationships? If so, what is causing me to have these problems? What can I do differently in future relationships? Write in a journal or try writing poems. The most important thing is to be honest and don't edit yourself as you go. One of the best results of writing it all down is that sometimes you will be amazed by a sudden insight that comes to you as you are pouring it all out onto paper. Patterns may become clearer, and as your grieving begins to lessen, you will find it so much easier to understand valuable life lessons from the whole experience.  Try writing down your feelings every day after your breakup until you feel better.  For example, you could start each of your journal entries with “It has been __ days since we broke up and I feel _____” Then go into more detail about how you are feeling. Using this prompt will help you to see the progress of your emotions over time and process some of those emotions as well.  Try writing a letter to your ex, but do not send it. Sometimes it just helps to get all of your feelings out. However, sending it is not a good idea. This letter is just for you, so write out everything you wish you could have said and be done with it. It doesn't do any good to rehash the breakup over and over again, so just pretend you are telling them how you feel for the last time. Try writing a story.  Think back to when your relationship with this person began, and document it from beginning to end. This may be very painful, but it will give you a broader perspective. When you get to the final chapter, finish off on a positive note and write "The End". Feelings of anger occur when we feel we have been wronged or there has been unfair treatment. In a situation where you will not contact your ex-partner, the best way to deal with anger alone is to relax. Take deep breaths and focus on allowing your muscles to voluntarily relax. Soft music can often help. If the breakup was your decision, keep in mind that focusing on the good times you had with your partner may cause you to forget the reasons why you broke it off. By the same token, try not to second-guess the situation if the decision to end things was not yours.  It's very common to romanticize the good parts of the relationship and convince yourself that the bad parts weren't so bad after all.  Don't play this game with yourself.  Accept the situation and work on moving forward. Focusing on all of the things that you don’t like about your ex can help you to get over the breakup faster. Try making a list of all of the things your ex did that you did not like. For example, maybe your ex often burped loudly after dinner, or made plans without you, or forgot your birthday. List every little thing that bothered you about your ex. In addition to reminding yourself of everything that bothered you about your ex, you can also benefit from thinking about the positives to your breakup. Make another list of all of the reasons why you are better off without your ex. For example, maybe your ex discouraged your efforts to eat healthy, so now you feel more empowered to follow a healthy diet and take better care of yourself. Or maybe your ex never wanted to do any of the things that you wanted to do, so now you have the freedom to do all of those things. List all of the reasons why you are better off without your ex.
