Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase a clear acrylic tumbler to show off your favorite pictures. Print your design onto photo paper or cardstock. Unscrew the bottom of the tumbler, insert the design, and reattach the bottom. Fill the photo compartment with water and glitter for a sparkly tumbler.

Answer: Acrylic photo tumblers are popular, inexpensive, and easy to customize. Make sure you choose a tumbler which unscrews to give you access to the photo compartment. You can purchase these tumblers at craft stores and big box stores. Since these tumblers are slightly tapered at the bottom, you will need to cut the paper so it can be rolled into a cone shape. You can find templates for these inserts online, or you can just wrap the paper around the cup and cut off the excess.  If you’re working with stripes or another pattern which needs to line up perfectly, it’s best to use a pre-made template. For a thoughtful gift idea, use a photo of yourself and someone special to you, then give the tumbler to them. The dimensions of the insert will vary depending on the style and size of the cup you chose. Roll your paper into a cone, then slide the cone into the space between the inner layer and outer layer of your tumbler.  Be careful not to wrinkle the paper as you put it into the cup, as any creases will show in the finished product. Reattach the bottom of the tumbler once you have inserted your design. If you don't want to put an image in the photo compartment, you can still customize it. Remove the bottom of the tumbler and turn the cup upside down, then carefully pour 1–2 US tbsp (15–30 mL) of glitter into the photo compartment of the cup. Then, fill the compartment the rest of the way up with water and screw on the bottom.  Super fine glitter will float slowly, but big chunky glitter will have more sparkle. You could also try mixing the 2 types of glitter for a unique effect! Floating glitter makes a good backdrop if you want to use a vinyl decal on your photo tumbler.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check for possible dangers before taking action. Try to get the person to respond to you. Call for help immediately if the person is unresponsive. Open the person’s mouth and check their airway. Look for signs of breathing. Perform CPR

Answer: Before you approach a collapsed or unconscious person, quickly assess the situation to determine if you can approach them safely. For example, check the area for hazards such as a downed electrical wire, fire or smoke, or toxic gas. Don’t try to touch the person or get close to them if you don’t think you can do so safely.  Use caution if you think the person might be drunk or under the influence of drugs, since they could react violently if you disturb them. If you don’t think you can approach safely, call emergency services and explain the situation. Wait nearby until help arrives. If you feel confident that you can safely approach the person, check to see if they are conscious. Shout to get their attention, and say their name if you know it. You can also try gently shaking or tapping their shoulder.  Say something like, “Are you all right?” A person is considered “unresponsive” if they don’t move or react in any way to stimulation from the outside, such as sound, touch, or strong smells. If the person shows no sign of consciousness, call emergency services immediately. Keep them on the line so that they can talk you through what to do until help arrives. Ask someone else to assist you if possible. For example, they can make the call or go look for help while you stay with the person and attempt CPR. Once you’ve called for help, carefully tilt the person’s head back and look inside their mouth. If you see any fluid or foreign objects in their mouth or throat, roll them onto their side and swipe your fingers across the back of their throat to clear away anything that’s stuck there. If there’s something in the airway but you can’t remove it quickly and easily, move on to doing chest compressions. Chest compressions can help dislodge material stuck in the airway. After checking the airway, see if the person is breathing normally. To check for breathing, first look to see if the person’s chest is rising and falling. If you can’t see their chest moving, put your ear over their mouth and nose. Listen for sounds of breathing and see if you can feel their breath on your cheek for at least 10 seconds.  If the person is gasping, choking, or breathing irregularly, this means they are alive but not breathing normally. If the person is not breathing or if their breathing is abnormal, you’ll need to perform CPR. if the person isn’t breathing or if they’re breathing abnormally. Place the person on their back on a firm surface and kneel by their neck and shoulders. Then, check their pulse for 5-10 seconds. If they don't have a pulse, place the heel of one of your hands in the middle of their chest, between their nipples, and put your other hand on top of the first hand. Keep your elbows locked and your shoulders directly above your hands. Use your upper body weight to compress their chest 30 times, followed by 2 breaths. Do this for 5 cycles, then check their pulse again.  If you haven’t been trained in CPR, stick to performing chest compressions (hands-only CPR). If the person has a pulse, only give them rescue breaths. Give them 10 rescue breaths per minute and check their pulse every 2 minutes. Aim to push their chest down to a depth of between 2 and 2.4 inches (5.1 and 6.1 cm). Try to do 100-120 compressions per minute. Don’t stop doing chest compressions until help arrives or the person starts moving and breathing on their own. If you’re trained in CPR, check the person’s airway after every 30 chest compressions and give them 2 rescue breaths before going back to chest compressions.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Attach the screen and pull flat. Set up in a well-lit area. Move or disassemble when done.

Answer: Attach your green fabric to the top bar of your frame using whatever method you choose, be it clamps, a sewed pocket, or elastic straps. Then make it taut across all sides with clamps.  If using a sewed pocket or elastic strap loops, slide them onto the top bar before connecting it to the rest of your frame. Adjust the fabric so that it falls flat and evenly from the top of the frame. Then use as many clamps as you need to attach it to the sides (and even the bottom) of the frame to create as even, unwrinkled, and unstretched a surface as possible. Set up your green screen frame wherever you wish to use it. The best results for video editing will come from using very even, consistent lighting for filming in front of the green screen.  Try using the green screen outdoors in overcast weather, or indoors using five individual lights: two main lights (which illuminate the subject being filmed), two fill lights (which illuminate the green screen), and a backlight (which will help distinguish the subject from the green screen for editing).  Ensure that every time you set up the green screen, the lighting or fabric itself doesn’t illuminate any creases or wrinkles that will show up when filming and affect the editing process of replacing the green color. Iron or steam the fabric if necessary to achieve a smooth surface. Easily reposition the entire frame with the fabric still attached, or undo the pieces of the frame to make it a size that’s easy to transport or store.  To avoid removing the green fabric every time, try rolling it onto the top bar of your frame before disassembling or storing. This will keep the fabric wrinkle-free as well. You can hold the fabric in place once rolled with a few pieces of tape, velcro or elastic straps, or rubber bands.  It’s helpful to take a picture or draw a quick diagram of your assembled frame before taking it apart. This will make it easier to reassemble in the same way next time you use it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Speak to educated English-speakers. Listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Pronounce the endings of words. Practice tongue-twisters.

Answer:
Education is not the most important part of learning proper English by any means, but people with extensive educations do often have a strong grasp on the rules of grammar and syntax. Speak to well-educated people, like your teachers,  your family members, or even nice strangers to hear what English is supposed to sound like. Try to mimic how these people speak. It may feel strange or awkward at first, but with practice it will become second nature. English speakers who are recording their voices will pay extra attention to their pronunciation and how they are saying a word. Read along with an audiobook to see how each word is pronounced, or listen to an educational podcast for a more conversational tone. You can even stop the recording and repeat new words until you get them right. A common mistake many native and non-native English speakers make is not pronouncing the endings of words. Try over-enunciating the endings of words at first, then relax a little. Dropping the ends of words makes the language more informal, since some of them can be versions of slang words. For instance, instead of saying "goin’,” say "going.” Instead of saying "makin’," say "making.” To practice your pronunciation and moving from word to word quickly as you speak, say some tongue-twisters to yourself once a day. Practice ones that rely heavily on different letters and pronunciations so that you get a well-rounded practice.  Common tongue-twisters include: “Sally sells seashells down by the sea shore.” ”Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.” ”How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” Tongue-twisters are notoriously difficult to say, even for native English speakers. Don’t get discouraged if it takes some practice to get these right.
