Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take her on an outing. Treat her to a spa day. Make her dinner or take her out to eat. Throw her a party.

Answer: Make sure it’s something she enjoys. If she’s an antique buff, take her to a flea market. If she’s an avid outdoors-person, take her on a hike and a picnic. If she loves cultural events, take her to a concert or a play. You might even consider recreating a favorite family outing, like a trip to a baseball game, cabin, or theme park. Being a mother can be demanding and stressful. Give your mom the gift of relaxation and self-care by treating her to a massage, facial, manicure, and/or pedicure. If your mom is usually the one to put food on the table, give her a night away from the kitchen. Cook one of her favorite meals, or take her to a restaurant that she’s been meaning to try. This option will require some planning and preparation, but it’ll make your mom’s birthday extra-special. Be sure to pick a time, place, and date that works for your mother.  Keep in mind that you should give guests at least a couple week’s notice so that they can get it on their calendars and make any necessary arrangements to get there. Since it’s your mom’s celebration, keep her in mind as you make the preparations. For instance, you should invite people that she’ll want to see, serve food that she enjoys, and play music that she loves listening to. When in doubt, consult with her about her preferences. Remember not to leave the post-party dishes and clean-up for your mother!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut the kiełbasa into 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) thick slices and place it into a skillet. Add some oil, then turn the heat up to medium. Fry the kiełbasa for 6 to 9 minutes. Serve the kiełbasa.

Answer: The types of kiełbasa that work best for this method are cooked biała (white) kiełbasa and zwyczajna (regular) kiełbasa. You do not need to fry dried kiełbasa, such as kabanos. If you wish to fry biała (white) kiełbasa, you should cook it first. The oil will help the kiełbasa brown nicely, and prevent it from sticking to the pan. You do not need to add a lot of oil, however, as the kiełbasa will release its own oils as it heats. Use a spatula to turn the pieces often so that they don't burn. If you have any onions or cooked potatoes, consider slicing them up and adding them to the pan as well for a delicious meal. You can serve the fried pieces straight from the pan. If they are too oily for you, you can let them sit on some folded paper towels for a few minutes to drain.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Adopt your boss’s professional goals as your own. Spend time getting to know your boss to understand them better. Be agreeable with your boss whenever possible. Do work that helps out your boss. Be consistent with your work and your mood.

Answer: Find out what is important to your boss and make it important to you. Shift your workplace demeanor and output so that your boss sees you as a relatable and dependable employee.  For example, if your boss is highly motivated to beat their deadlines, then do your best to get everything in ahead of schedule. Don’t sacrifice your own goals or priorities for the sake of your boss’s. Rather, incorporate as many of your boss’s goals into your own plans as best you can. For example, if there is a project that your boss is particularly passionate about, work on that project when you can, but don’t sacrifice your other priorities to do so. Make a note of anything that you and your boss have in common so you can talk about it with them. In general conversation, find an opportunity to make your boss aware of your similar interests. This will not only help you to understand how they think, but will also make them like you more.  For example, if you and your boss both like the same sport, find out what team they root for and try to follow that team’s games. This way, you can talk to your boss about the team whenever the opportunity arises. The best time to have this type of conversation is in the break room at lunch or during a period of downtime where neither of you are expected to be working at that moment. This makes having a non-work conversation more acceptable. Note that you shouldn’t become too friendly with your boss. Remember to keep your relationship professional, even if you’re having a casual conversation. Try to agree with your boss, more often than not, without compromising your own values. Be willing to disagree with them when you need to, but take every opportunity to demonstrate to your boss that you’re “on their side.”  This applies to working with other colleagues under your boss, as well. Show your boss and your coworkers that you’re a team player. Be as supportive as you can in controversial situations, even if you really don't like your boss' behavior. This puts you in a position to be honest with your boss without seeming confrontational. Remember, your boss’s success is also your own success. Find out what project or task your boss tends to spend a lot of their time on and take steps to work on it in your spare time. This is especially helpful if this task is particularly stressful for your boss and they don’t have the time to finish it on their own.  For example, if your workplace requires a lot of paperwork, especially from your boss, then fill out some of the paperwork that your boss normally does (as long as you’re allowed to do this). You may have to ask your boss if you can give them a hand with their task. Don’t be afraid to do this! In fact, they may appreciate the simple fact that you offered to help. Your boss is probably under a lot of stress in their job, so they will appreciate any employee who is predictable and reliable. Don’t let stress or your boss being angry affect the quality of your work or your mood in the workplace.  For example, if you have a lot on your plate at the moment and your boss asks you if you can help them out with a project, don’t complain about having more work to do. Say “sure, I’d be happy to” and do your work as best you can. At the same time, don’t overpromise or commit to doing additional work that you don’t have the time to do well. If you do this extra work poorly, it won’t make your boss happy at all.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wrap a ribbon around the bear's neck.

Answer:
Choose a ribbon color that goes well with your towel. Wrap it around the neck of the bear to hide the elastic, then tie it into a bow.  You don't have to use the same color as the bear. For example, if you made a white bear, try a pink ribbon. Cut the ends of the ribbon into angles for a nicer touch. Use a thinner ribbon for a smaller bear and a wider ribbon for a larger bear.
