Problem: Article: This will make it much easier to work with. Plus, you will be less likely to make an error with your scissors if you can see what you’re doing. Sometimes, elastics are sewn into the seam of clothing. If this is the case, you won’t be able to pull the elastic out of them if you cut the somewhere other than the seam. Find the seam by holding on one side of the seam and stretching the other side. If you feel the elastic shift, you are free to cut wherever you’d like. If you feel it snag at the seam, make sure to cut here. To remove the elastic band from your clothing, make a slit (around ½”). If the elastic is sewn into the seam, you’ll have to cut the seam the size of the elastic. Use scissors to go through your slit and cut the elastic. Cut through the entire elastic without cutting any more holes in your clothes. If you want to still be able to tie the pants snugly, affix a long shoelace or ribbon to one end of the elastic using a safety pin. When you pull out the elastic, pull on the end without the ribbon. This will guide your new tie through the waistband.  If you do not want a tie, then just slowly pull the elastic out, being careful not to catch a lose string and bunch your fabric. Once the elastic is out/replaced, your clothes are ready to wear. You can sew the slit closed if you want to, but it’s not a necessary step before you wear your clothes.
Summary: Turn the clothing inside out. Find the inside seam. Put a small slit on the inside of you clothing. Cut the elastic. Pull the elastic out.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For example, if you meet a girl at a bus stop, you could talk about the weather. If you’re in a coffee shop, you could ask her for help deciding what drink to order. If you see her at school, ask her how class went. After you’ve talked for a minute, introduce yourself and ask for her name. You can just give your first name if you want to keep it casual. Telling each other your names is a great way to establish connection. Say, “I’m Jojo, by the way. What’s your name?” Many girls find humor attractive. If you enjoy making jokes, don’t be afraid to be silly. You can make wacky comments about things that you see, say something a bit self-deprecating, or crack a so-bad-it’s-good pun. You can also tease her gently, but make sure not to take it too far and hurt her feelings. If you find it hard to joke around with people you don’t know, don’t sweat it. You can charm her with other great aspects about you, like your positivity, or your great smile. The best way to keep a conversation flowing is to have it be a give-and-take of ideas. If you’re feeling nervous, you might be tempted to ramble on, but you’ll have much better luck getting to know a girl if you ask her open-ended questions and truly listen to what she says.  Don’t ask her anything super personal off the bat. You could ask her, “What do you like about this coffee place?” or “I like your Hogwarts shirt. What’s your favorite Harry Potter book?” If you’re talking to her in school, you could say, “What teacher do you have for history?” or “Are you on the basketball team? I think I saw you play the other week.” Whenever you say something, say it with positive energy. If you get to know each other better, you can bring up heavier, deeper stuff, but now is the time to talk about things and people you love. It will make you seem like an excited, caring person. For example, if she tells you her favorite band, and asks if you like it, don’t say, “I hate those guys. They sound like trash.” Instead, steer the conversation in a positive direction: “I don’t know them too well. I do love outdoor concerts, though. Have you ever been?” Focus on things about her inner beauty, like “You’re so funny,” or “You’re so sweet.” If you want to compliment her appearance, stick to complimenting her smile, hair, eyes, and clothes, so that it’s not objectifying. Be sincere, and use words like pretty and cute, instead of hot or sexy, to avoid creeping her out.  Try to drop the compliment into the conversation naturally. If she says something that makes you laugh, say, “You’re so funny,” after you stop laughing. If she says something kind, say, “You’re so sweet.” If there’s a pause in the conversation, and she’s smiling, say, “You have such a pretty smile.” See how she reacts to your compliment. If she blushes, smiles, giggles, or compliments you back, that’s a good sign. If she looks sketched out and tries to move away, she’s probably not interested. Don’t let all this great conversation go to waste by never seeing this girl again! Be brave and ask for her number, or ask if she’ll friend you on Facebook or Instagram. If you think she might be reluctant to give out her number, then you can give her your number, and let her make the first move is she wants to.   Say, “I have to go now, but I’d love to chat with you again later. Could I get your number?” Or say, “I’d love to see you again. Can I get your number?” Then hand her your phone, to get the ball rolling.

SUMMARY: Strike up a conversation based on where you are. Introduce yourself and ask for her name. Try to make her laugh. Ask her open-ended questions and listen. Keep the conversation positive. Drop a subtle compliment about her personality. Ask for her contact information before you leave.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Birds generally aren't attracted to grape bunches until they start maturing. When the grapes start to mature and change colors, bag them as soon as you can. Take a pair of scissors and make 2 2 inches (5.1 cm) slits on either side of the bag. Follow the center seam of the bag as a guide for where to make the slit. The slits are where the grapevines will poke through the bag. Leaves need direct sunlight and will wilt if left in the paper bag. Pinch or cut away any leaves that the paper bag would cover once you bag the grapes. Although leaves cannot grow in the paper bag, your grapes can grow without wilting. They may, however, mature slowly. Position the bunches so the vines rest near the side slits. Fold the bag's top flap over and tape or staple it shut to keep it in place. Repeat this process on all of your grape bunches until you've covered all of them. Avoid taking off the paper bags until you're ready to harvest the grapes. If wind, rain, or heavy weather conditions tear the bags off, replace them with new bags when the weather clears. If you're not sure whether it's time to harvest the grapes, take the bag off partially. Examine the grapes and, depending on whether they've matured, either harvest them or put the bag on again. Paper bags are bulky and can make it hard to tell how you grapes are growing. To monitor your grapes as they grow, pull an organza bag over a grape bunch and cinch it in place. Do not remove the bag until you harvest the grapes.  Organza bags are translucent fabric drawstring bags, and they are available online or at most craft stores. If you use organza bags, you do not have to pinch of any leaves.
Summary:
Put the bags on the grape bunches when they change colors. Cut 2 inches (5.1 cm) slits in a paper bag. Pinch off any leaves directly around the grape clusters. Slide a bag over the grape bunches. Keep the bags on until you plan to harvest them. Use organza bags as an alternative to keep a close eye on the grapes.
