Problem: Article: As frequently noted above, EOIs should be lean, succinct documents. To get your EOI as streamlined as possible, you'll need to be a merciless editor. When you've finished your first draft, take the opportunity to read it over at least one more time, looking for any unneeded content. Whenever you see a sentence that goes on longer than needed to get its point across, shorten it. Whenever you see a complicated word that could easily be replaced with a shorter one, do so. Your EOI is a functional document, not a chance to exhibit your writing ability, so keep it simple. If you have time, take a quick break between when you complete your EOI and when you start proofreading. Most writer's resources will recommend this because it gives you a healthy degree of "distance" from what you've just written, making it much easier to see mistakes. EOIs should always be written with the sort of  formal, dignified voice that normal business writing demands. Avoid using slang, colloquialisms, or humor. Keep in mind that the people reading your EOI have never met you before, so they won't have any reason to assume that you're including these things with good intentions rather than out of disrespect. A good general rule recommended by many writer's resources is to write as if you're giving an important speech, rather than talking to a friend of family member. As an obvious example, if you're talking our work history, the sentence "From 2002 to 2006, I worked as a freelance consultant for several personal contacts" sounds much more dignified than "From 2002 to 2006, I did a little freelance work for a couple of guys I know", even though it has almost the same meaning. When you've finished the content of your letter, take a moment to ensure that it's formatted in a way that shows respect for formal business writing conventions and makes it as easy as possible to read. Typically, this will be very similar to that for a cover letter or similar document. Below are just a few formatting issues that are common sources of confusion:  Headings: In the top left corner of the letter, provide your name, address, phone number, and email address (each on a separate line. Leave a space between your heading and salutation. Spacing: Keep the text in the paragraphs single-spaced. Leave a space between each new paragraph. Indents: Either indent the first sentence of each paragraph or leave them aligned with the left side of the page. Many sources recommend against indenting if you skip lines between paragraphs.  Closings: Leave three spaces between your closing (e.g., "Sincerely,") and your name. When you think your EOI is ready to send, be sure to give it one final once-over to look for any minor errors that may have slipped your notice. Keep an eye out for misspellings, inappropriate word use, grammar errors, and unnecessary content Below are just a few general tips for proofreading:  Work from a printed page, not a computer screen. Seeing your work in a different format lets you view how it appears on the page and can help cure a case of "glazed-over eyes" from looking at a computer screen for hours. Read out loud. Hearing your text with your ears in addition to seeing it with your eyes gives you an extra way to detect any errors. This is especially good for spotting run-on sentences that might otherwise escape you. Get a friend to help. Someone who's never seen the text before may be able to see errors that you can't. Often, spending a long time writing a document can make you "blind" to errors in it that you've gotten used to seeing.
Summary: Re-read and trim any unneeded content. Maintain a formal voice. Ensure you're using proper formatting. Proofread for spelling and grammar before submitting.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a rimmed baking sheet so the pine nuts won't slide off. Spread as many pine nuts as you want to toast on the sheet and set them aside while the oven heats. Ensure that the pine nuts are in a single layer so they toast evenly. Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook them until they smell fragrant. Stir the pine nuts after they've been in the oven for 5 minutes. This will help them roast evenly. Pay close attention to the color of the pine nuts and take them out of the oven as soon as they're brown and they smell nutty. Keep in mind that the pine nuts will continue to cook even after you take them out of the oven. To prevent the pine nuts from burning, transfer the toasted pine nuts to a clean, rimmed baking sheet that's cold. This will stop the pine nuts from overcooking. Once the pine nuts are completely cool, put them into an airtight container. Then place them in the pantry out of direct sunlight. For the best flavor, use the pine nuts within 1 week. To store the pine nuts for longer, refrigerate or freeze the toasted nuts in an airtight container for up to 3 to 6 months.

SUMMARY: Preheat the oven to 375 °F (191 °C) and spread the nuts on a sheet. Roast the pine nuts for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pine nuts once they're golden brown. Cool the pine nuts on a cold baking sheet. Store the pine nuts in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The first step to getting red lips is getting rid of dry, flaky skin that builds up and hides their natural color. Sloughing away the dead skin brightens your lips, brings out their inner red color and prepares them to take on a stain. Here's how to make and use your own scrub:  Mix 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Scrub the mixture into your lips in a circular motion. Rinse the mixture away with warm water. Repeat as necessary. Sometimes a basic lip scrub isn't enough to get rid of the dead skin. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush will do the trick. Choose a clean toothbrush, wet it with warm water, and gently scrub your lips in a circular motion. Rinse your lips. They should be left bright, plump and renewed. Increasing circulation to your lips makes them look plumper and redder. You can naturally make your lips a little plumper by using cinnamon or another spicy household item on your lips. Just rub a little on, wait a few minutes, then rinse your lips. You can use any of the following as a natural lip plumper:  1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper mixed with a few drops of water 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon mixed with a few drops of water 5 drops of peppermint essential oil or peppermint extract A piece of fresh ginger rubbed over your lips Now that your lips have been exfoliated and plumped, it's time to make them soft and supple. This will help them keep their color longer and prevent them from drying out. Use any of the following ingredients as a lip serum; just rub it on your lips and wait a few minutes for it to absorb:  1/2 teaspoon coconut oil 1/2 teaspoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon almond oil
Summary:
Use a natural lip scrub. Try a toothbrush. Use a natural lip-plumper. Moisten them with a homemade serum.
