Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk like a prep. Be reasonable, polite and thoughtful. Be a good friend. Respect your parents and other figures of authority. Study hard and get good grades. Consider playing a sport. Work on your confidence.

Answer: Be pleasant and keep a sincere, interested smile on your face whether listening or speaking as opposed to a bored expression. Preppy girls don't cuss; develop your college-bound level of vocabulary. Try to balance being taken seriously and being so dull that nobody know you can have fun once in a while. It helps to practice good etiquette and manners, particularly for formal situations. It's important to kind and helpful to others around you, even through simple things such as such as tutoring your little brother helping an elderly person cross the road. Not only will improve the day of the person in question, having a reputation as a sweet, friendly girl isn't bad at all when it comes to being a prep. Preppy girls are often sociable and talkative, so be quick to engage your friends in witty banter or conversation when the timing's right. It's okay for preppy girls to have boyfriends or girlfriends as well, though many are uninterested in romance or content with being single for the time being. Don't spread rumours or make mean remarks about others, as it might put people off being in your company. If you're angry at your parents for a trivial reason, don't scream or throw a tantrum - instead, smile at them and politely mention that you need some time alone to cool off. Most preppy girls are close to their families, although if for whatever reason you cannot be, don't stress. There are very few things that are true for all preppy girls as a whole. Preppy girls care about school and getting a good education. If your grades in a certain subject are lacking, get a tutor or ask the teacher about any extra credit work that you can do.   If your grades are already good, strive to improve them, even if just by a little bit. Preppy girls aren't lazy by nature and often seek the chance to get better at things than they already are. Generally, preppy girls tend to prefer sports such as soccer, cheerleading, tennis and volleyball. That being said, if you're more of a baseball girl, that's fine, too - any sport can be preppy if it's done with a good attitude and a perky smile. It's hard for many teenage girls to feel good about themselves and what they do. If you're not confident by nature, start small, like writing a list of things you like about yourself or looking in the mirror and trying your best to think positive thoughts about what you see.   Focus on looking confident first, if actually feeling it isn't coming as easily as you'd like. Walk with your back straight and your chin titled slightly upwards to give the impression of being self-assured.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go to the truck rental store to pick up your vehicle. Show the clerk your driver’s license and pass a background check. Present a commercial driver’s license if necessary. Review and sign your vehicle contract. Pay for your rental using a credit card. Purchase vehicle insurance if necessary. Inspect your vehicle before taking it off the lot.

Answer: If possible, ask a friend or pay a rideshare service to take you to get the truck, that way you don’t have to leave your main vehicle at the store. If you end up driving yourself, ask a shop attendant where the best place to park your car is. Some rental companies offer customer pick up and drop off services for people living within a certain radius of the store. To see if your chosen company offers these services, call their customer hotline. The law requires anybody who rents a truck to have a valid government-issued driver’s license. In addition, some companies may run a background check on you to see if you have any recent moving violations or vehicle-related convictions. In most cases, your background check will occur while the company verifies your license. Since they’re looking exclusively at your driving record, the background check should only take a few minutes. In most cases, your standard driver’s license will be more than enough to rent a truck. However, you may need to present a commercial driver’s license if you’re acquiring an extremely large vehicle or renting on behalf of a company. Your vehicle contract will explain, in great detail, the terms of your rental agreement. It will include your rental rate, your expected return date, and any additional fees not included in the rental rate, among various other things. These contracts vary by company and vehicle, so read the paperwork carefully before signing your name. Most companies require you to pay for your rental  vehicle using a credit or, in some cases, debit card. This allows them to put a hold on your account so that, if you extend your rental period or incur any extra fees, the company can take out additional money without having you approve another transaction. Some companies include auto insurance in the initial rental price while others require you to purchase a plan separately. If you can’t afford full insurance, make sure you at least buy a Collision Damage Waiver. Doing so makes the rental company liable for any damage incurred by the vehicle. In some cases, you may be able to extend your normal car insurance plan to the rental truck. Before driving away, look over your truck to make sure it’s the model you requested and appears to be in good condition. If you see any major damage, take a picture of it using your phone. This gives you evidence in case the rental company accuses you of causing the damage. Make sure you check the body of the car for dents and scratches, the windshields and windows for cracks, and the seats for tears and stains.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Study in short sessions Attend any review sessions that are offered. Take a practice test. Get a good night’s sleep before the test.

Answer: . Rather than staying up all night for one big cram session the night before a test, try studying in small sessions over the course of a week. Studying in smaller sessions will make it easier for you to retain the information that you take in and it will be less stressful for you as well.  For example, if you have a test on Friday and you expect that you will need to study for about six hours to get a passing grade on the test, then break your study sessions into three two hours sessions over the course of the week. Make sure that you take a short break every 45 minutes as well. Most people can’t concentrate for more than 45 minutes at a time, so taking a short break (about 5 to 10 mins) will help you to reset and stay focused. Some instructors offer review sessions before an exam to go over the material that will be on the test. Make sure that you attend these sessions whenever they are offered. It can be tempting to skip review classes, since it is a review of old material, but you will increase your chances of passing English if you attend. Before you take the actual test, taking a practice test may be beneficial. Try asking your instructor for some practice test questions to help you prepare or come up with some practice questions of your own. You can create a practice test based on your knowledge of what will be on the test. When you take the practice test, make sure that you simulate an actual test environment. Put away your notes, books, etc. and time yourself. Check your answers when you are done and use your results to help you figure out what you need to spend more time studying. Being well-rested is one of the best ways to ensure that you will be able to focus on a test. Make sure that you go to bed a bit earlier than usual the night before your English test. For example, if your usual bedtime is 11pm, try going to bed at 10pm instead.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Raise the defense of the “fair use doctrine. Research available statutory defenses. Assert that the original work is now in the public domain.

Answer:
” “Fair use” is a legal term that says some uses of copyrighted material are allowable, even without the owner's permission. This usually includes the use of a portion of the work for criticism, news reporting or teaching. For the use of a work to be considered within fair use, the use must be limited in scope, generally for a non-commercial purpose, and must not interfere with the widespread potential market of the original work. Copyright law is a federal system of statutes, and the statutes include several defenses that allow for use of a copyrighted work. Some of these include reproduction by libraries, educational use by teachers, and others. These statutory defenses of the copyright law appear at 17 U.S.C. §§107-122. You are not likely to get a demand letter from William Shakespeare for wrongfully using part of Romeo and Juliet, but it is possible that you may get a demand letter for using part of a work that is in the public domain. Copyrighted works are protected, approximately, for the life of the author and an additional 70 years. Beyond that, the work becomes available in the public domain and is free to be used.
