In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before starting your snowblower, you’ll want to make sure that the oil level is at the “full” mark. If not, top off as needed, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Your snowblower’s manufacturer will recommend a specific fuel type/grade. You’ll want to have plenty of fuel before you begin. Make sure it's fresh, especially if you haven't fired up your snowblower in a while. Drain your gas if your snowblower has sat longer than a month with ethanol fuel in it. Ethanol fuel can deteriorate over time, and bad fuel can cause engine problems. For safety reasons, you’ll want all drive controls set to “off” before starting your snowblower. Keeping your snowblower in neutral will prevent unintended activity once the machine starts.
Summary: Check the oil level. Fuel up. Set the drive control to neutral.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Coke and Pepsi taste quite similar, but their flavors aren't exactly the same. Start by taking a sip of your drink. Concentrate on the flavor — ask yourself, "What else does this taste like?" Everyone's sense of taste is different, but a few popular comparisons are as follows:   Coke is often said to resemble raisins with a hint of vanilla.  Pepsi is often said to resemble citrus fruit. A soda's flavor isn't just about what other things it tastes like — it's also about how those tastes feel in your mouth. Take another drink of your soda. Concentrate on how the soda feels as it moves over your tongue and down your throat. Again, everyone's opinion is different, but some common observations are below:   Coke has a flavor that many define as "smoother." The flavor rises gradually and recedes gently. It should go down your throat easily.  Pepsi has a flavor that many define as "sharper." The flavor has a stronger "attack" — it rises in a sudden "burst" of flavor. It should be a little more intense as it goes down your throat. Take another drink. This time, concentrate on the sugar content in the drink. Is the sweetness overpowering, or is it more subtle? This can be difficult to judge unless you have both drinks in front of you so that you can compare them. According to official nutritional information:   Coke has a little less sugar, so it is slightly less sweet.  Pepsi has a little more sugar, so it is slightly more sweet. Hold a sip of the soda in your mouth for a few seconds. Concentrate on the feeling of the carbonation bubbles. Is the drink quite fizzy, or slightly "flatter" than you're used to in a soda? This, too, is difficult to tell unless you have both drinks for comparison purposes. See below:   Coke has more carbonation, so it is slightly fizzier.  Pepsi has less carbonation, so it is slightly "flatter." If you still aren't sure, try smelling your drink as you gently swirl it in its glass (like a wine snob). This releases a little more of the aromatic chemicals into the air so your nose can pick them up. Concentrate on the aroma — if you had to choose, does it remind you of raisins and vanilla (like the flavor of Coke) or citrus fruits (like the flavor of Pepsi)?
Summary: Judge its flavor qualities. Judge its intensity. Judge its sweetness. Feel the carbonation level. Smell its aroma.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are focusing on a paper article or a book chapter, it may be easier to work from a paper copy. Go ahead and print out a clear copy of the work. Try to create a photocopy that leaves plenty of open space in the margins. You can also file away this paper copy for future reference as you continue your research. Carefully consider what writing tool to use for your notations. If you choose a yellow highlighter, just make sure to use it in a limited fashion, otherwise it becomes less meaningful. A pencil is a good tool to use because you can go back later and edit your comments for clarity, if needed. If you are visual learner, you might consider developing a notation system involving various colors of highlighters and flags. If your comments begin to overflow the margins, then you may want to use another piece of paper for extra annotations. Just make sure to write down the page numbers for each comment or marking. You could also divide the page up according to sections of the article. If you are borrowing a book or have a work that you’ll need to return unmarked, then you can use sticky flags or Post-it notes to make your annotations. Just be sure to choose a size of Post-it that will provide ample space for your comments. And, you’ll want to handle the text carefully or your Post-its could fall out. Depending on how you’ve taken your notes, you could also remove these Post-its to create an outline prior to writing. After you’ve finished reading and completed your annotations, then combine all of this knowledge into a single paragraph. This 3-4 sentence paragraph should identify the thesis and include a brief summary of the work. It can also mention any notable sources. This rough annotation can then be used to create a larger annotated bibliography. This will help you to see any gaps in your research as well.
Summary:
Make a photocopy of the article. Choose a writing tool. Create a separate notation page, if needed. Use Post-it notes. Complete an annotation paragraph.
