In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A declarative sentence is a statement made directly by the speaker to the listener. It conveys information directly. For example, the following are examples of declarative sentences:  The cat sits on the mat. I started to laugh. That cloud looks like a fish. Declarative sentences are different from other types of sentences. In order to better understand grammar and writing, learn to identify other common types of sentences. Some of these include:  Interrogative: This type of sentence is used to pose a question (e.g., “Will you drive me home?”) Imperative: This type of sentence is used for delivering orders or directives (e.g., “Get on the bus.”) Exclamatory: This type of sentence is expressed in such a way as to convey excitement or exclamation. It is usually indicated by the punctuation at the end of the sentence, typically in the form of an exclamation point (e.g., “How nice you are!”). At its core, the declarative sentence is very basic. There is a noun and a verb in the sentence. The sentence can have other elements, such as adjectives, adverbs and other words. But the simplest form is just a noun and verb. The verb in a declarative sentence can be in any tense form (present, future, past, etc.). Declarative sentences can be any length. They can convey very basic, simple information (such as: “I ate a hot dog.”), or they can convey lots of complex information (such as: “The movie represented women in a positive light, particularly when the main female character defused the bomb in the car.”). The sentence is declarative if it makes a statement, rather than asking a question, giving an order, or making an exclamation.
Summary: Identify a declarative sentence. Distinguish different types of sentences. Understand the parts of a declarative sentence. Don't get confused by the length of the sentence.

The biggest upfront cost for brick-and-mortar stores is filling the racks, and that kind of volume costs serious money to produce. Selling online, you can afford to start smaller. Venues such as  Etsy and ASOS marketplace are established sites that can often net you customers very quickly. Take advantage of the Internet Age and use every platform you can think of to promote a solid, coherent brand identity. Get on Instagram, which many PR reps in fashion think of as the most important platform for designers. Use Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Vimeo, YouTube, Flickr, Tumblr, and your own website (a must!) to create a constantly updated, exciting web presence. Update your social media presences frequently! Emma Hart, a fashion PR rep who owns her own firm, compares social media platforms to your “shop window”: it has to be constantly updated, refreshed, and invigorated, or people will think you're not serious about your label. You can do this online, even in places like Instagram. In addition to promoting your own brand, share designs by others that you love and find inspiring. Leave encouraging comments and compliments on other designers' pages. You'll find that being generous may inspire others to return the favor. Ask your customers for their feedback! Listen to what they love and they don't. If you notice something isn't selling, ask your customer base for their opinions. There is no substitute for time spent listening to your customers and thinking about their opinions.  It can be hard to hear criticism, especially if it's directed toward a passion project. Try to remember that you are there to serve your customers, and that criticism of a product isn't necessarily criticism of you. Do what you can to constantly improve your label and your merchandise. Don't make drastic changes to your label based on a few customer opinions, though.Too many sudden, dramatic changes could cause your customers to question your brand image. Customers won't want to buy your label if they can't connect emotionally with it. This also goes for the designer: customers want to see that you are passionate about this business and that you pour that passion into the products you create.

One-sentence summary -- Start selling online. Promote, promote, promote. Network with others. Talk with customers. Demonstrate your passion.

Problem: Article: Until you are 14, you have limited choices for “real” jobs. Agricultural work is one of them. If you live in a rural or semi-rural area, you might have some farms in the area that are in need of some part-time help. In many places, individuals under 14 years of age can be hired to deliver newspapers. You can call or visit the newspaper office in your area to ask if they are hiring people to deliver papers. If your newspaper office isn’t currently hiring, check back periodically. Doing so will demonstrate that you are serious about the job. You can also ask if they keep applications on file for future openings. While you have to be 14 years old in most states to have a part-time job, one exception is working for your family business. If your parents have a business, ask them if they would be willing to hire you for small tasks. Working a couple hours a day or on weekends for your family business will give you good work experience for when you are old enough to have a different job.
Summary:
Look for agricultural work. Do a paper route. Work for your family business.
