Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write and send your note as soon as possible. Send a typed or handwritten letter for normal correspondence. Get a thank you card to show more appreciation. Write an email if time is short.

Answer: It’s polite to send a thank you note soon after the business or person helped you. Don’t delay. Write your note and send it within a few days.  Time is especially important after a job interview. Contact the interviewer to say thank you within 1 day of the interview to thank them for their time. For other services, time is not as crucial. If you forgot to send a note and a week has gone by, still send the note. People appreciate receiving thanks, even if it’s late. In most cases, a typed or handwritten letter is perfect for a thank you note. Both are formal enough for business correspondence, yet more personal than an email. Choose this option unless you need the letter delivered quickly or want to send a more personal card.  If you don’t have excellent handwriting, opt for a typed letter. Once you print or write the letter, keep it clean and tidy until you send it. Don’t let it get wrinkled or spill anything on it. If you are especially thankful for something a business has done, look for a nice thank you card. This shows that you’ve taken an extra step to show your thanks, and the recipient will be happy to receive it.  Choose an appropriate design for the card. It should still look professional. A simple card with a small design and generic text works just fine. Greeting cards are also a good choice if you know the person you’re writing to personally. If you’ve met or spoken to this person before and built more of a relationship, a card helps solidify that relationship. While physical letters are usually more personal, an email is your best choice for fast communication. This is especially important following job interviews. If you’ve just had an interview or prefer your messages delivered quickly, choose an email instead.  If you do send an email, write “Thank You” followed by your name in the subject line. This way, the recipient knows you sent the email by just skimming their inbox. If you prefer sending a letter but need it delivered quickly, you could send it with overnight mail. This can be an expensive service, however.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Iron the bag, if necessary, to get rid of any wrinkles. Decorate your bag.

Answer: Close the bag so that it lays flat. Turn an iron on to the lowest heat setting. Run the iron over the bag. Keep the iron moving and don’t linger on any spots to avoid burning the bag. Iron out any wrinkles. How you decorate your bag is entirely up to you. You can make it as fancy or as plain as you like. If your bag has an existing pattern or color scheme, however, try to match that pattern or color scheme as best you can. For example, if you have a delicate white and silver bag, some silver ribbon or delicate lace might look better than clunky red and yellow buttons. Here are some ideas to get you started:  If your bag is solid-colored paper, consider drawing or painting on it. Decorate a plain bag with stickers or stamps. If you keep the shapes consistent, it could look like a pattern. If your bag already has a design on it, consider outlining some of the designs with matching glitter glue. You can even glue on rhinestones for added flair. Consider gluing a ribbon or lace along the top edge of the bag. Embellish a bag with small buttons or rhinestones. Buttons are great for adding that homemade touch to bags made out of solid-colored paper.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a birdbath. Use warm water. Allow the bird to dry.

Answer: Bathing your bird regularly is just as important to its overall health as cleaning the cage. Choose a birdbath that is appropriately sized for your bird so that it will not have trouble getting in and out of the basin.  Some birdbaths are meant for use inside the cage, while some are meant for use outside the cage. Larger birds may benefit from external baths, but bath setup largely comes down to owner preference. If you have a bird that can swim, such as a duck, make sure the bath contains enough space and water for the bird to be able to dunk their head safely. Allow the bird to use the bath only with your supervision. Fill the bath with warm water, and allow the bird to splash around, getting itself wet and preening for several minutes before removing it from the bath. Once your bird has finished bathing, scratch against the feathers to imitate mutual preening. Be sure not to press the feathers down against the bird’s body, as birds do not enjoy this sensation. Your bird will need time enough to dry before the evening. Allowing a bird to bathe too close to bedtime could lead them to getting dangerously cold during the night. Make sure your bird has at least a few hours to dry fully, especially for large birds. If you live in a colder environment, make sure the room is well-heated while your bird is bathing as well as when it is drying off.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hold the shaver over your bathroom sink. Turn off and unplug the shaver. Inspect your shaver for defects.

Answer:
Since you’ll be cleaning hair and dead skin cells out of your shaver, you may not want to do it over a floor. Cleaning your shaver over your sink will allow you to easily get rid of fallen hairs and skin with just a bit of water. Some shavers have an on/off switch, whereas others have a switch you depress to activate the blades. Either way, make sure it isn’t running; you want to make sure there is no electric current running through the shaver before you begin. If water gets into the shaver, it could cause electrocution or damage the shaver. If your electric shaver is battery powered, you may want to remove the batteries before cleaning it. Since you’re about to clean it, you should take a moment to make sure there aren’t any cracks in the casing or damage to the shaver head, such as nicks in the blades. If you can see any seals or gaskets, make sure to inspect them for damage.
