Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pull over to the shoulder. Look for a location where things can’t fall on your vehicle. Park your car away from expansion joints on an elevated highway. Turn off your engine. Put your emergency brake on.

Answer: If you’re driving when the earthquake strikes, you should pull over to the shoulder of the road in a quick and safe manner. This is important, as you don’t want to be struck by other motorists who are trying to flee the area.  Make sure to signal and/or turn your hazard lights on. If you are on an overpass, wait until you are on solid ground before you stop. As you’re trying to pull over, you should look around for a spot where your vehicle will be safe from falling debris. If you’re in the middle of a city, you may not have many good options. In this case, you may just want to park your car in a place you are most comfortable with. If you find yourself driving on an elevated road during an earthquake, find a safe location to park your vehicle away from the joints of the highway. This is important, as the concrete slabs of the highway could fall off their supports during the earthquake. After you park your car, you should turn the engine off immediately. This is important, as the earthquake could damage your vehicle or rupture the gas tank – creating a situation where your car catches fire or even explodes. Once your engine is off, put your emergency beak on. Your emergency break will help keep your car from rolling backwards or forwards if the ground becomes unlevel below the vehicle. This is especially helpful if you‘re on a bridge or elevated road, where your car could roll off.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Give some age-old advice about trying again. Tell them that their grades are not a reflection of who they are as a person. Help them set realistic goals. Encourage better organizational and time-management skills. Recommend that your friend start communicating with teachers.

Answer: Remind your friend that everyone faces adversity at some point and it is what you do after that really counts. Express the importance of having a positive attitude about academics and staying persistent. Be sure you emphasize the significance of effort above ability. Not everyone can be a straight-A student, but everyone can put in the effort and do their very best. You can also research some empowering motivational quotes to share with your friend for a push in a positive direction. For example, a famous proverb says “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly.” Just because the person got a bad grade does not mean that they are not "good" at that or able to do it. A bad grade is just a measurement of the person's skill at that particular point, and a bad grade can be improved with extra studying and practice. It's just a temporary reflection of what they knew at that point.  For example, you could say, "I know that you don't understand multiplying fractions right now, but I know that you'll work extra hard to get a better grade on the next test!" Or, you can say something like, "I know that you're not happy with this score, but it doesn't mean that you are 'dumb.' It just means that you didn't understand this concept." As a friend, you can motivate your friend after making a bad grade by suggesting that he or she set a goal to improve the grade. Setting a goal can give your friend something to focus on and making strides to reach it can offer a needed confidence boost. Keep in mind that this goal should be realistic and attainable, not a stab in the dark. For instance, if your friend made an F on his or her report card, it would be unreasonable to strive to get an A by the end of the next grading period. Maybe the person can set a goal to bring the F up to a C or a B, which is more feasible. In some cases, you may be dealing with an exceptionally bright student who merely has trouble getting assignments turned in on time, or forgetting to complete them in the first place. If this is the case, your friend may benefit from learning some time-management and organizational strategies to help him or her become a better student. Some easy-to-implement tips include:  Using a planner to write down assignments Assigning different colors to certain subject folders and notebooks to keep materials organized Aiming to complete projects at least a day or two prior to the deadline Keeping a consist daily and weekly schedule Stocking your backpack with everything you need to be productive Keeping your work area clutter-free and distraction-free Working for a period of time and then scheduling a short break (e.g. 30 minutes of work = 5-minute break) Creating a note-taking system Developing a reward system to inspire project completion Sometimes, teachers have no idea whether or not a teaching method is successful. Encourage the student to go in and talk to their teacher about what he or she is not retaining well. Perhaps the teacher can offer additional assignments to ensure that the material is understood or even suggest online learning tools to practice at home.  Your friend may also need to adopt the habit of speaking up in class and asking questions as the material is being taught. Practice at home with him or her raising his hand and asking a question to achieve a better understanding. Recommend that they go over their old tests with their teacher to narrow down which areas they don't understand or which portions of problems they are getting stuck on. You could also suggest that they ask their teacher for extra tutoring.

Answer: Between coloring treatments, using an at-home glaze treatment (also called gloss treatment) can help freshen the look of your hair. The glaze coats your hair to add extra shine and sometimes color that can help revive faded hair. The results typically last for 1 to 2 weeks, so you can use a glaze once or twice between coloring sessions.  You can purchase hair glaze treatments at drugstores and beauty supply stores. Most glazes are simply washed into your hair. Apply it after you’ve shampooed and conditioned your hair and allow it to sit for several minutes before rinsing it out. If your roots are becoming too obvious between coloring sessions, a touch-up kit can help. They’re like regular at-home color treatment, but contain a targeted brush that allow you to apply the color to precise sections of hair at the roots. If you’re unsure which root touch-up kit to purchase, ask your colorist to help you choose the right one. If you’re not ready to commit to permanent color with a root touch-up kit, hair mascara is an ideal solution. Like regular mascara, it’s a colored liquid that comes with a small brush so you can apply it directly at the roots. Best of all, it easily washes out with shampoo. Hair mascara tends to work best on darker hair colors.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Break the florets off of the main stalk. Don’t trim the stems. Wash your broccoli in the sink.

Answer:
Use either your hands or a knife to break the stalk of tenderstem broccoli into smaller pieces. Aim to create bite-sized pieces of tenderstem broccoli. Unlike regular broccoli that has a woody stem, tenderstem broccoli has a soft and nutritious stem, so you want to leave as much as you can. Leave the whole stem on the broccoli to get the most flavor and nutrition. Place the broccoli in a strainer, so you don’t have to hold it the whole time. Rinse the florets under cold water to clean off any dirt that may still be present. Rotate the pieces of broccoli so the water coats them entirely. Use cold water when you rinse the broccoli so it doesn’t soften up.
