Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dim the lights. Prepare the bedroom. Encourage a relaxing hobby at bedtime. Exercise to relax.

Answer: Approximately one hour before bed, dim the lights slightly in the person's home or apartment. Bright lights create stimulation in the brain, and as a result, can make it more difficult to fall asleep. By dimming them, a person more likely to fall asleep later on at night. If the lights in the house or apartment cannot be dimmed, one alternative is to turn off all overhead lighting and leave a few smaller lamps on to create a dimmed effect. Set the room to a comfortable temperature if the home or apartment has a thermostat. If the room is too cold, the person will not be comfortable enough to sleep because he or she will feel chilly. If it's too warm, he or she will be sweaty and uncomfortable. Usually, a temperature around 72ºF (21ºC) is ideal. Also, try to keep the room as quiet as possible by closing windows. In a home or apartment without a thermostat, try providing a fan to keep the person cool or extra blankets to keep them warm. Rather than getting into bed and immediately turning off the lights to go to sleep, encourage the person to pick up a relaxing hobby once they get in bed. This will help bring the day to a close. By relaxing before bed with a repetitive activity, the person will be less stimulated, and thus be more likely to fall sleep.   Try reading for 30 minutes before bed, for instance. Be sure they do not reach for their tablet or phone. Once in bed, the bright lights from their tablet or phone will stimulate their brain and make it difficult to fall asleep after they are turned off. After their new nighttime activity, such as reading, suggest that the person further relax through exercise. One exercise frequently recommended includes progressive muscle relaxation, which involves going through each muscle group in the body and flexing and relaxing it. Another suggested exercise is deep breathing, which will also help prepare the person for bed. You may also suggest mental exercise which will distract the mind, for instance, thinking of fruits and vegetables that begin with the same letter.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start dancing with your girlfriends. Move closer to the guy. Start "accidentally" brushing up against the guy. Step in front of the guy.

Answer: Unless you already know the guy you want to dance with and he's led you to the dance floor, you'll have to approach the dance floor on your own first. (If you already have a guy, then you can skip this section). Take a trusted girlfriend or two with you and have a great time dancing, doing your own thing, and going a little crazy.  Don't look around like you're desperate for a guy to dance with, even if you've found your target -- instead, let the guys see what a great time you're having and they'll come to you. Show off your dance moves with your girlfriends. Let the guys see that you can work your body, follow the beat, and have a great time. Once you've found your guy -- and maybe even locked eyes with him from across the room -- you and your girlfriends should start moving closer to him. Make this a natural, gradual move, and wait for him to come closer to you, too. If you lock eyes from across the room for one second and then one inch away from him the next, you won't look cool.  Make your way over to him during the course of a song. Make sure that your girlfriends follow without crowding the guy. At this point, you should lock eyes with the guy, and maybe even give him a cute smile and then look away. Then, move even closer to him and let your body brush up against his, whether you're facing him and touching him with your hands, or turning away form him and occasionally brushing up against him with your desire. Show him what you've got by stepping in front of him so that you lock eyes and know you're going to dance with each other. Spend a minute dancing in front of him, moving to the beat, and then slowly begin to turn so he can start dancing behind you and you can officially begin to grind.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select a theme for your certificate. Determine if you will have graphics on the certificate. Decide what text will be on the gift certificate. Set up the page using a word processing or design program. Create a portrait or landscape blank page, depending on the desired size. Change your margins to a smaller size so the certificate prints closer to the edges. Type in all of your information and arrange it on the top half of the page  Add graphics and any other decorative characters that you want to be on the certificate. Copy and paste the gift certificate image on the page as many times as it will fit. Print the certificate on a plain, color or watermarked paper.

Answer: You can create a very formal, casual or humorous certificate depending on the products or services that are being offered and to whom they are being given. The pictures or clip art should correlate with the business or purpose of the certificate. There are some components that every gift certificate should entail.  Include the business or person's contact information and where the certificate can be redeemed. List the services or products for which the certificate can be used. General certificates may only list a dollar amount. Add a date when the certificate will expire. This is optional. Some gift certificates never expire. The certificate will need blank lines for the recipient's name to be written or typed and a blank area to write the name of the person giving the certificate. Consider a program with clip art if you want pictures on the certificate.  Each certificate will consume only a portion of the page. You can print 2 or 3 certificates per page.  Borders often create a formal and impressive look around the perimeter of the gift certificate. The more details or uniqueness you add to your certificate the better. These certificates are harder to copy or counterfeit.  The type of paper used often affects the overall impression of your business.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start with a damp brush.

Answer:
Soak your brush in water for a few minutes, then shake out the excess water. You don't want your brush to be dripping. You can brush it gently over a towel if you want.  Many brushes are good for blending, but you can try a flat, fan, round, or filbert brush to begin with.  If you're afraid of the paint drying out too quickly, you can paint your canvas with a bit of water, too. You do need to work quickly with this method, though.
