Problem: Article: Rock candy takes on a beautiful hue that is accentuated by it's natural rock shape. Pick a color and flavor that complement each other.  You can try one of these classic combinations or come up with your own:  Purple rock candy with lavender flavoring. Orange rock candy with tangerine flavoring. Pink rock candy with rose flavoring. Red rock candy with cinnamon flavoring. Place them evenly around the jar and lean them against the lip of the jar. Secure them in place with small pieces of tape, so they don't slide against each other while the rock candy forms.  You can use wooden chopsticks in place of skewers. A string suspended from a pencil is also a good base for rock candy. Cover the jar with plastic wrap. This prevents dust and bugs from getting into the jar while the rock crystals form. It takes a week or two for the sugar to crystallize into the shape of pretty rocks attached to the skewers. When you're happy with the size of the rocks, remove the skewers from the jar and lay them out to dry.
Summary: Mix the sugar and water in a large jar. Stir the mixture well.  Add the food coloring and flavor.  Suspend the wooden skewers in the solution. Wait for the sugar to form into rocks. Dry the rock candy.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may buy almond meal at the store, but it's easy to make it at home: just place raw almonds in a blender or food processor and pulse until they've turned into a fine-grained meal.  Don't pulse for too long, or the almonds will turn to almond milk. Don't use salted or roasted almonds. You may also use olive oil, coconut oil, or another cosmetic-grade oil. Avoid peanut oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, and other oils with strong smells. Lavender, lemon, rose, and other essential oils make this scrub feel even more luxurious. To store this scrub for later, put the mixture in a jar sealed with a lid. Keep it in a cool, dry place. It should last for several weeks. Rub the scrub all over your face, concentrating in spots that are dry. Use a wet washcloth to remove the scrub, and splash cold water over your face when you're finished.

SUMMARY: Place 1 cup of almond meal in a bowl. Mix 1/2 cup of almond oil with the almond meal. Add a few drops of essential oil. Apply the scrub to a freshly washed face.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In order to feed your snails, prepare a mix of blanched vegetables. Blanching involves placing vegetables into boiling water and quickly removing it. Snails especially enjoy shelled peas, carrot, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini and iceberg lettuce (shredded or cut into tiny pieces). Allow vegetables to cool completely, then add them to your tank.  Start by adding a small amount of blanched veggies each morning, and gauge how quickly your snails can finish them. Add a bit more or less until you can see that all food is being consumed within 12 hours. Remove whatever isn't eaten from the tank within 12 hours. The snails do not need any other source of food. Mystery snails need some additional calcium added their water. Add rinsed sea shells, cuttlebone, and/or shell grit to your snails' tank in order to increase the calcium content.  Try to add a calcium source one per week. These items can purchased at most pet stores or online. Irregular shell growth or shell spots could be a sign that your snails need more calcium. Most health problems in snails present themselves in the health of the snail’s shell. If your snails’ shells are changing colors or growing in irregular patterns, you may want to consult a vet. You should also:  Check your water quality Ensure that your snails are getting enough calcium Look for white spots on the snail’s skin Some fish can coexist peacefully with snails, while others will eat them. Never add clown loaches, yo-yo loaches, dwarf checkered loaches, skunk botia fish, or  catfish to the tank with your snails.  If you unsure about a certain fish, inquire at the pet store. Mystery snails are great tank cleaners and co-exist well with many aquatic species.
Summary: Provide home-cooked veggies. Add calcium to your water. Keep an eye on the shells. Avoid adding certain fish to the tank.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This will help you craft your sentences for a certain reader. It will also help you decide how much knowledge of the subject your reader should already have. If the brochure is for school, you shouldn’t have to alter your language much for your classmates to understand.  Consider English reading capabilities. If you are targeting people whose native tongue is not English, make your language clearer than you normally would. You may be, for instance, targeting people who are already diagnosed with a disease, and you are educating them about further treatment methods. You won’t need to explain the basics of the disease, unless your approach is radically different from other methods. The reader shouldn’t be wondering what to do after reading the brochure, if anything. There is nothing wrong with simply educating your readers. However, if you suggest further action, make that clear. For example, you may be writing a brochure about the dangers of smoke inhalation. Put down symptoms of common lung diseases, and encourage readers to see a doctor if they have any of them. Educational brochures should be 40-50% white space to make them easier to read. You probably have a lot of information you want to include, but brochures aren’t books. They should give basic details about a topic in hopes of getting a reader to seek more information. An effect format for educational brochures is asking basic questions that you will answer. This guides the reader to the information you want to provide, keeping him or her from wondering what the purpose is. Simply stating the answer also makes it easy for him or her to understand the lesson or conclusion. For example, a brochure on smoke inhalation might begin with “What are the symptoms of smoke inhalation?” Then you should list the symptoms. You might then ask “When should I see a doctor?” Listing the most dangerous symptoms is a way of guiding the reader to determining whether or not to see a doctor.
Summary:
Decide on a target or general audience. Make the purpose clear. Leave plenty of white space. Ask and answer questions.
