Q: One of the easiest ways to do this is to apply artist-quality Gesso, a thick gel-like primer. Apply it like paint, or spread it around with a palette knife, if it's thick enough. This will allow you to control the style of the texture. You could also use heavy paper or poster board. If you do this, you won't need to prepare or prime the surface. You should make several horizontal lines with varying spaces in between, as well as vertical lines. Mark as many as you like, but be aware that fewer lines will mean larger squares and rectangles. Use black paint to create bold lines. You can make some lines thicker and others thinner. Your painting will now look like a grid with black lines. Use primary colors (red, blue, yellow) and fill in several shapes with paint. While you could fill in every shape, this will make your painting look busy and overwhelming. Instead, choose just a few shapes to paint in. They'll stand out more. The white space will make your primary colored squares pop.
A: Create a textured background. Use a ruler and pencil to create lines. Paint the lines. Paint only a few squares and rectangles. Leave the white space.

Article: Make sure the bags are big enough so that they'll put pressure on the shoe when they expand in the freezer.  When you seal the plastic bag up, remove any air from the inside of the bag. This will make it easier to mold the water inside the bag to the contour of your shoe. This method will involve placing your shoes in the freezer for an extended period of time, during which time they may get wet. Be sure that the shoes you are using with this method aren't irreplaceable or susceptible to water damage. Make sure that the seal is tightly locked. You don't want your shoes covered in ice when you remove them from the freezer. Your shoes should contain a smaller plastic bag inside the cavity and a larger one protecting it from outside moisture. When the water inside the shoe freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the cavity in the shoe and breaking them in. The advantage of using water as opposed to a shoe stretcher is that the water will adjust to the contours of the inside of your shoe perfectly. The water filled baggies should now be solid ice. You may have to wait a few minutes in order to slide them out easier. Once the shoes have warmed up a bit, try walking in them and even running and jogging in them if they are athletic shoes.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Fill up two sandwich bags halfway full of water. Place one of the baggies in each shoe. Put the shoes in a bigger, sealed plastic bag and place into freezer. Wait 3 to 4 hours. Take the shoes out of the freezer. Take the baggies out of your shoe. Try on your shoes.

Problem: Article: One rose means “you’re the one”, so don’t be embarrassed about not giving your special one an entire garden. Hang the rose upside down on the wall when it starts to wilt because it will dry up and you can keep it for years to come. Because a single rose could still be a little pricy on Valentine’s Day, ask your mom or grandmother if you can pick a rose from her rose bush. It will be that much more special since it was grown by someone you love. They will have all the stuff that’s normally expensive at party stores and flower shops, like balloons, candy, and stuffed animals. Snag a few different items since, hey, they’re only a buck! Pick out Valentine’s Day cards in the store at the same time. Give them to each other on the spot and decide together if you want to buy the cards, or if you just want to take a picture to remember the moment. You don’t need to spend over $15 for a small potted plant, plus it will last longer than cut flowers. They can keep it on their desk at work as a reminder of how much you love them. Provide instructions on how to properly take care of the plant to help it  live a long life and bloom often. Succulents, like cacti and aloe vera, are great options since they are low-maintenance and live for a long time. Plus, cacti can grow flowers if they have proper lighting, soil, and watering!
Summary: Give them just one rose instead of a whole bouquet. Hit the dollar store for inexpensive gifts. Trade cards in the store. Gift them a small potted plant.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This should be treated similarly to the leather. Do not use a thinner or stripper such as toluene or lacquer thinner. This can damage your plastic. Be sure that the sponge or brush bristles are not so coarse that they will scratch your plastic. A toothbrush can be used for small or hard to reach areas. Dip your chosen cleaning utensil into the solution and get to scrubbing. If you work up a leather, you can wipe it away with a paper towel or other rag. If you do not have distilled water, tap water will work. This step will remove the cleaners and any oils that they lifted from the surface of your plastic.

SUMMARY: Follow the step above for mixing a degreasing solution. Choose a sponge or scrub brush. Scrub the area. Do a final wipe with distilled water.

Q: People make first impressions not only by what you say, but by what you wear. It is often said that interviewers gauge their candidates very early and hence dressing up will help in your cause. Make sure you look exceptionally nice. Pressed pants, (not jeans!) and a nice shirt will make your interviewer realize that you take this seriously.  Loud and obnoxious hair colors are not considered "professional". Unless you already know the person interviewing you, don't get judged by your hair dye choices. While all your friends may adore your bright blue hair streak, it's not appreciated in most work areas. Pop a wig on, if needs must. Dressing aptly reflect that you are interested in taking up the job.
A:
Dress appropriately.
