Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dress up. Keep your individuality. Get healthy. Use scent appropriately. Accessorize simply. Stop flashing logos.

Answer: French people take pride in how they look, and they take pride in how they dress. You won’t see them dressing down for comfort outside the home.  For example, don’t wear yoga pants or hoodies to go to the coffee shop or grocery store. Pay attention to your dress at all times when outside the house. Take pride in what you’re wearing even for mundane activities and on typical days. It’s about an attitude. Even in casual wear, a Parisian is more likely to toss on a blazer (over a T-shirt) than wear a hooded sweatshirt. Carry yourself with confidence, and walk with your head held high and your posture straight, knowing that you’re dressed well and will command respect as a result. Parisians are not afraid to keep and show small physical imperfections, even though their clothing is impeccable. They are all about natural beauty.  Don’t worry if your nose is a bit big or your teeth crooked. For example, Vanessa Paradis is considered one of the world’s great French beauties, and she has never fixed the prominent gaps in her teeth. Along those same lines, don’t pluck your eyebrows too much or augment your lips with fillers. Try not to have more than two colors in your hair. The key to the entire style is to augment your natural beauty subtly and to do so in a way that doesn’t look like you are trying too hard. For French women, it’s about working with what they naturally have, not changing who they are or their overall look. French women eat what they want, but they exercise portion control and are known for their slim physiques.  They take great care of their hair and skin. French women grow bored by indoor workouts. They are not into the American workout regimen. You won’t see many of them in the gym. Instead, drink a lot of water. A key to beautiful skin is to drink water all day long. Mineral water spray can also spruce up the skin. The hair, skin, and body are the base for the overall Parisian style. Take care of your skin using cleanser, gel cream, and cleansing milk suitable for your skin type, oily, combination, normal, dry etc..  Eat organic food with little sugar. This will keep weight in check, but it also is good for your skin. What you put into your body will dictate whether your hair shines and your skin glows, not what you slather on or into it. French women know that to make a statement, you need a signature scent. They are well aware of the power of smell and use it to create sex appeal.  They will leave the house with a touch of perfume that they apply lightly, and they usually stick to a scent once they discover it. Dab perfume on the hair, behind the ear, on the back of your neck. Try to choose a scent that is not too overpowering and that you wear consistently. Chanel No. 5 is, of course, one of the most famous French perfumes. French women like perfume that is vanilla based or has a floral smell. They use it as a signature, and it helps form an identity. In Paris, less is more. French women aren’t going to leave the house with too much bling. French men won’t be seen with gaudy gold necklaces.  Before you leave home, try to remove one accessory. Don’t overload the look with too many pieces of jewelry, statement handbags, etc. Do try to have one accessory per outfit (belt, bracelet, etc.) French women keep their nails clean and sometimes wear polish. The French manicure is not really worn in Paris. Pedicures are important, though. French women will wear polish in neutral colors or even use clear gloss and won't be seen in neon. Instead, think of accessories from the standpoint of one great piece. Dramatic red lipstick might be your only needed accessory! It was fashion icon Coco Chanel who said you should remove one accessory before leaving the house. Great style in Paris is about how you put together the look and the quality of the clothes and fit. It’s not about the name brand.  Avoid the American temptation to flaunt labels on everything from handbags to blue jeans. That's considered tacky in Paris.  That doesn’t mean the French don’t have some iconic brands. They do. Think Louis Vuitton. It’s just that flaunting logos is not the key to Parisian style. Parisian style is about high quality clothing with great seams, classic lines and colors. It’s about achieving a vibe and look.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Preheat your oven to 475 °F (246 °C) and continue allowing your beef joint to warm to room temperature. Place your chopped veggies in the bottom of a roasting pan and top with the beef joint. Insert a meat thermometer into your beef joint, and then place the pan of beef in the oven. Watch your meat thermometer to determine when your beef joint is done. Baste the meat throughout cooking to keep your beef joint infused with flavor. When your beef joint has reached the desired temperature, take it out of the oven and allow it to rest.

Answer: Set your oven to the appropriate temperature while your meat reaches room temperature. Use this time to also prep your roasting pan and find a timer. Fill the bottom of a roasting pan with either one small onion cut in half, or an assortment of chopped vegetables, garlic and herbs. If you do the assorted vegetables and herbs, drizzle them with olive oil. Then set the beef joint (fat side up) on top. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the middle of your beef joint, making sure the thermometer is not touching bone. Set the pan of beef in the oven just above the center, and allow it to cook at the initial temperature of 475°F.  Set your timer for 20 minutes. When your timer goes off, turn down the temperature of the oven to 375°F. The temperature it reaches and the amount of time you let it cook depends on how well done you prefer your meat.  If you’d prefer your meat rare, with a bright red center, allow it to continue roasting for an additional 20 minutes per pound. Add an additional 15 minutes for medium rare, or an additional 30 minutes for well-done, to the total cooking time calculated for a rare roast. For rare, it must reach a temperature of 120 to 125°F. For medium rare it must reach 130 to 135°F. For medium, 140 to 145°F.  For medium well, 150 to 155°F. For well done, 160°F and up.  Because the temperature of meat can rise 5 to 10 degrees during rest time, take it out of the oven 5 degrees before it reaches the desired temperature of doneness. At least three times during the cooking process take the meat out of the oven to baste. Make sure to close the oven door each time you do so to keep the oven hot. To baste the beef joint use a baster, which is a large plastic suction, to suck up the juices of the beef. Carefully squirt the hot liquid all over the beef. If you don’t have a baster, you can use a large spoon. You may have to tip the roasting pan a little to scoop up the juices. Lightly cover your roasted beef with foil paper and let it rest for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour before serving. As the meat relaxes, it will reabsorb its juices, ensuring your meat is juicy and full of flavor when served.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Compliment him about his personality, intelligence, and looks. Break the touch barrier to see how he responds. Get his number Encourage him and remember important details. Plan a study date to spend one-on-one time together. Arrange group dates with friends for a low-key hangout option.

Answer:
Complimenting him shows that you’re paying attention. Try to keep your compliments short and direct and then let it go. He may respond by saying “thanks,” or he may just smile at you.  For example, you could say something like, “I thought you did a great job giving your presentation in class today.” To compliment his looks, say something like, “Your new haircut looks really good,” or “That sweater really brings out the color of your eyes.” To be a little more flirty, you could say something like, “You always make me laugh!” Making appropriate physical contact, like touching his arm or shoulder, is a great way to gauge how he feels about you. If he smiles and doesn’t draw away from you, that shows he is okay with your affection. If he does pull back, that means he isn’t interested in being that close to you. Small moments of physical contact can help build up more of a bond between the two of you, even if it’s just a friendly one. and text him to talk more outside of school. For your first text to him, say something like, “Hey Josh, this is Ryan. What are you up to?” To start other conversations, you could ask what he thought of school that day, if he started his homework yet, or what he is doing that evening. If he sends back really short texts or doesn’t respond at all, don’t send him multiple texts in a row. Just let it go until he reaches out to you or until you have another legitimate reason to text him. Pay attention to what is going on in his life, like a big test, a sports game or competition, or even something fun, like a vacation. Mention these things when you see him in person. If you have his phone number, you could even send him an encouraging text.  For example, you could send him a text that says, “Good luck at the game tomorrow!” Follow up on important events by asking about them. For example, try saying something like, “I hope you had fun at the away game over the weekend. How did things go?” Before a big test, you could write him a note that says, “Good luck on the test! I know you’ll do well.” You could study together at school during a free period or after school at one of your homes, a coffee shop, or the library. Send him a text or catch him after class to ask him to get together. Try to be casual and breezy about it, even if you feel really nervous.  Try saying something like, “Hey Bryan, want to get together this Wednesday to get ready for the History test?” If he says yes, that’s great! Just set a time and place to meet. If he says no, try not to take it personally. Maybe he already has a busy schedule or doesn’t plan to study at all. This can work well for things other than class, too. Any shared activity, like band, drama, sports, or student council can be used as an excuse to get together to practice or plan. Group dates are a great way to get to spend time with the guy you like and for him to see you in a casual setting. Get a group of friends together to go to the movies, a party, a sports game, or for something fun, like a bonfire or game night. Invite him along, and tell him to bring some friends, too. Try saying something like, “Hey Malik, me and my friends are having a game night this Friday. You and your friends should come. I’ll text you the details.”
