The first of these charts is the “pros" column, and the second is the "cons" column. In the "pros" chart, fill in several reasons supporting your argument. Try to come up with 5-7. Use bullet points to give evidence supporting your reasons. Do the same on the "cons" side, except list and provide reasoning against your argument.  For example, say you’re writing about banning cell phone use in cars. Under the pros column put “could help save lives.” You can also write, “helps drivers focus on driving,” and “reduces risk of accidents.” Under the cons column, you could write something like, “over-legislates private behavior” and “people may need to make emergency calls with their cell phone.” An advantage of a pros and cons list is that it lets you look at issues from a non-emotional, objective stance. It’s easy to get caught up emotionally in issues like testing products on animals or unsafe driving practices. But, when making the list, leave emotions out and focus on including only rational, defensible claims. For example, when making a list of cons for any issues, writing something like, “I personally dislike it” or “It makes me unhappy” is a very weak reason. Since you'll try to persuade your audience to embrace 1 side of your chart over the other in your letter, you'll need to address solutions to the "cons." As you’re jotting down the “cons,” think of flaws in the arguments that would support them, or consider ways in which the “cons” are misleading or irrelevant to the issue.  Or, if you don't believe that the "cons" need to be solved, you could find information that proves those arguments wrong. For example, if you're writing about the issue of texting while driving, you’ll need to address the con that it “over-legislates private behavior.” Write something like, “This argument is irrelevant. Texting while driving affects more than one individual since many people can be killed by a careless driver who is also texting.” You can then add this sentence directly to your letter once you’re writing it.

To get the ultimate look from your at-home gel nails, start with the ultimate blank nail. Take the time to cut, file, and shape your nails. Before you cut them, decide what shape you want. Cut the basic shape and then file the tips. Finally, finish shaping by rounding the surface of your nails with a buffer.  You can create round, square, pointy, almond, or oval nails. Because gel nails are based off of your nails, this is when you shape your nails. It is not like applying acrylic nails that can be shaped during/after application.

Before you build your drawer, you will need to line it with your baize or felt fabric. Cut a piece of fabric to fit into the 16.7cm by 11 centimeter (4.3 in) piece. Then, use your glue stick to attach the fabric to this piece. Make sure that you smooth out the fabric to avoid bumps or bubbles. Use the hot glue gun to attach your 11cm by 2.7cm pieces to the 11cm long sides of your 16.7 centimeter (6.6 in) by 11cm piece. Then, use the glue gun to attach your 17.7 centimeter (7 in) by 2.7cm pieces to the 16.7 centimeter (6.6 in) sides of your 16.7 centimeter (6.6 in) by 11cm piece. Make sure that you press on each of the sides to ensure that they are firmly in place. You will use a piece of your baize or felt fabric to attach the cover to the jewelry box. Cut a piece of your baize or felt so that it is 20 centimeter (7.9 in) long and about 5 cm wide. Then, use your hot glue gun to attach the fabric to the long edge of your cover (the 20cm by 13cm piece). Make sure that a couple of inches hang off the edge. Take a piece of your decorative paper and make sure that it is large enough to cover an entire side of your cover piece. Use your glue stick to apply the decorative paper to the cover. Then, fold the excess paper over the edges of the cover and then secure them with glue. Apply decorative paper to the the inside of the cover as well. This piece should stay a little inside of the cover edge, but the whole surface should be covered in decorative paper when you are done. Use the fabric that you glued to the edge of the cover to attach the cover to the jewelry box. Glue the edge to the outside of the back of your jewelry box. You will be covering this area with decorative paper, so do not worry about the fabric showing.
