INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you’re not leaving for a few weeks or even months, find a list of average highs and lows for the time of year that you’re going to a particular place.  Search for averages on Wikipedia; the site lists average temperatures in the “Climate” section on most pages for countries, states, and provinces. You might also Google the weather in a given city. For example, you can search “average temperature in Chicago in April” to get results that will be helpful for choosing what to pack.   Check the specific forecast for each of the seven days that you’ll be gone. Many websites, like weather.com or AccuWeather, provide forecasts for anywhere in the world. Even though weather predictions are not always accurate, this is a good way to get a sense of what to expect. Reach out. If you are still unsure about what kind of weather to expect and thus what kind of clothing to pack, reach out to a friend, family member, or colleague who has visited your destination for pointers. Additionally, many major cities have travel or tourism bureaus.  Call or email one of these agencies to speak directly with a local and get their advice and pointers on what to expect and what kind of clothing to pack. If you can, wash your clothes during your trip (even if it's just a quick sink-wash and hanging the clothes out to dry) so that you have to pack even fewer items. If you won’t have access to laundry while you’re gone, you should plan to bring a change of clothes for each day of the week. Some hotels, for example, will provide complimentary toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Others will even provide a toothbrush and toothpaste. If so, that is at least a couple of items less that you have to worry about packing in your suitcase! Depending on your destination of choice, you may have to pack certain precautionary items or align your packing with the cultural sensitivities and traditions of your destination. Learn whether certain diseases are common in your destination. Consider, for example, malaria. If your destination has malaria-transmitting mosquitoes, you are at a significant risk of getting the disease, so take the necessary precautions. These may range from insect repellent to malaria prevention medicines. You can learn more about malaria and whether it is a concern in your destination by visiting the CDC website. This is especially useful if you are traveling abroad. Take into account security considerations, such as whether it is generally safe for somebody of your nationality to travel to your destination of choice at this time. If you currently live in the U.S., the Department of State website is the go-to site for this information. Consider whether there will be any important local holidays while you are there. Knowing this ahead of time will allow you to better prepare and not be taken by surprise should there be any major closures, crowds, or events. If you are traveling abroad, it is important to know how to communicate basic information. For this, you can use an app like Duolingo or free online materials.

SUMMARY: Check weather patterns in your destination city. Ask your accommodation(s) about laundry facilities. Find out whether your accommodation(s) will provide you with toiletries. Find out if there are any regional considerations you should take into account. Research the political, social, and cultural climate of your destination. Learn a few key words or phrases in the local language.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A project management report should outline the project's scope and end goal. Understanding the objective is key to comprehending the needs that this project hopes to meet. It is important for you and your audience to have a clear notion of the project's purpose to maximize the effectiveness of your report. Ask yourself, “How will this help my company, our client, or our community? Will this project possibly have a positive impact in other areas?” Understanding the overall scope may help you appreciate how this project may be useful to you and others. Know who will be reading the report and what they may wish to learn from it. Some details may be extraneous to certain audiences, while others may need to be provided with detailed information. Identifying your readers at the outset will provide direction for the project report content. Some audiences may not be familiar with the language, terms, and jargon often used in your working environment. If you are writing a report for a client, for example, avoid using technical jargon that requires lengthy explanations. Instead, plan to write in a voice that easily describes your project scope and timeline. A table of contents essentially provides an easy-to-read outline for your audience. At a quick glance, a reader can quickly understand the structure and substance of the document. A table of contents can also help busy readers find the information that is significant to them quickly and effectively. Perhaps an investor who is reading the report would like to review the budget first. Showing where the budget is in the table of contents will help guide the investor to the information they need. Have a meeting with your supervisor to understand the expectations of your project management report. Your supervisor may have particular points of interest, concerns, or details that they would like for you to include in the report. Your supervisor may also explain how long the report should be and if there are particular formats that your company requires for these types of reports. Try to collect as much useful information as you can to help make your report clear and useful. Ask your supervisor about what to include in the report. “I was thinking of including the results from last year's study in the project's introduction. Do you think this would help the readers understand the project's goals?” Your supervisor will appreciate the opportunity to give you feedback early in the process.
Summary: Define the project's purpose. Pinpoint your audience. Create a table of contents. Talk to your supervisor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Transfer the food to a saucepan and add ¼ cup (59 ml) of water to prevent the food from scorching. Turn the heat to medium and put on a lid. Stir regularly as the food heats up. Depending on how much food you have, reheating could take about 20 minutes.  Ideal foods to reheat in this way include soups, stews, liquids, beverages, and chili. For beverages, avoid adding additional water. Add a tablespoon (15 ml) of cooking oil or butter to a skillet or cast iron pan. Heat the skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add your food. Cook for about five minutes, and then use a spatula to flip the food. Cook for another five minutes, or until it’s heated through.  This method is ideal for noodles, pasta, rice, or other grains. You can also use this method with beans. Frying in a bit of oil will make the noodles or rice slightly crispy. Another way to reheat rice and other grains is in a pot with some extra water. The water will add moisture back to the grains, and will bring the grains back to their original consistency. Pour the grains into a pot with ½ cup (118 ml) of water or broth. Heat the grains on medium until warmed through. As the grains cook, stir them every five minutes to ensure even heating. Turning on the oven for a slice of pizza is a waste of energy, and you can actually get a crispier crust by pan frying. Heat a dry cast iron pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the pizza and place a lid over the pan. Heat the pizza for three to four minutes, until it’s hot and the cheese is gooey. Add a tablespoon (15 ml) of oil or butter to a skillet, wok, or cast iron pan. Heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add your meat or stir fry and turn the heat to low. Cook and stir regularly for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dish is warmed through.

SUMMARY:
Heat liquids and saucy foods in a saucepan. Pan fry rice and noodles. Reheat grains with extra water. Crisp up pizza slices in a skillet. Warm up meat and stir fries in a pan.
