Problem: Article: Take a clean, fitted sheet and spread it out on your bed so the corners are lined up with the corners of your mattress. Tuck one of the corners under, then go across diagonally and tuck under the next corner. Repeat with the other 2 corners. Take care to smooth out the sheet and check that the corners and sides are tucked in well, so that the sheet doesn’t pull off easily. Lay out your top sheet so that an even amount of it hangs off of the bed on both sides. If the sheet has a pattern on it, lay it face down so that the plain side faces up. This is so you can see the pattern when you fold the sheet back. Smooth out your sheet to get rid of any big wrinkles, gaps, or bulges. If you notice that there’s more sheet hanging off the bed on one side, gently pull the other side so it’s more even. To make your bed look extra tidy, create hospital corners with your sheet. Carefully tuck the bottom edge of the sheet under your mattress and smooth out any bumps or wrinkles with your hands. Grab an edge of the sheet about 16 inches (41 cm) from the foot of the bed and lift it up so it hangs down in a triangle shape. Tuck the hanging part under the mattress at the side of the bed near the foot end. Then, grab the top part of the triangle you made and fold that under, making a 45° angle from the top corner of the mattress to the bottom edge.  Do it again with the other bottom edge of the sheet, then tuck the edges of the sheet under along both sides of the bed. This sounds tricky, but it just takes a little practice. Once you’ve done it a few times, you’ll get the hang of it! If you have a blanket or coverlet, spread it out across your bed on top of the flat sheet. If you want, you can tuck it under just like you did with the sheet. Fold back the blanket and flat sheet from the head of the bed so that there’s enough room for your pillow. If the weather is chilly or you just want to give your bed a more put-together look, you can finish it up by neatly spreading a quilt or duvet on top. Leave about a pillow’s worth of space at the head end of the bed. Put fresh pillowcases on your pillows and place them tidily at the head end of your bed. If you like, you can add a couple of decorative pillows or cushions to make your bed look even fancier. A neatly made bed can make the whole room look nicer. Stand back and admire your work!
Summary: Put the fitted sheet on your bed and smooth it out. Spread the flat sheet over your bed, patterned-side down. Tuck in your flat sheet neatly. Put on your blanket or coverlet. Place your pillows neatly at the head of your bed.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Measure out the uncooked rice in a pot or steamer. If making more rice, be sure to leave room for an additional 1/2 to 1 cup of water per cup of rice. Add the water to the rice grains and leave it on the side to soak between 4 hours and overnight. The longer the rice is soaked, the more the texture will be.

SUMMARY: Prepare the rice. Soak the rice.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Make a list of people who you might dedicate a book to. These might include your spouse or partner, children, parents or friend. Who is most important to your project and your inspiration as a writer?  You might have a person in mind who is the very reason that you’ve written this book. Your book might be about that person or written in their memory. This person might be a natural choice for the dedication. Consider if you actually know the person to whom you’re dedicating the book. You can also brainstorm names of people that you don’t know personally but whom you admire. The book’s subject matter, for example, might mean that a certain person is not an appropriate choice. For example, if you have a book with troubling or adult subject matter, you may not want to dedicate the book to a child. If you don’t have a specific person in mind to dedicate your book to, think about dedicating it to someone who tirelessly supports the themes in your book. This might help you figure out who might be the best person for your dedication. You might dedicate a book to someone because they inspired you or because they encouraged you to become a writer. Think about how certain people contributed to your overall writing career. Think too about how they may have contributed to this particular project. You may have promised a spouse or friend that you’d dedicate your first book to them. You may want to fulfill this promise by dedicating your book to them. Similarly, someone may have asked that you dedicate the book to them. Don’t feel too obligated to dedicate your book to someone who asked for the dedication. It is a deeply personal process to write a dedication, and if it doesn’t feel right to choose that person, you can choose someone else. Be prepared, however, to explain to that person your reasons why they were not chosen. There is no rule that says you need to choose a person for your dedication. You might choose a pet, for example, or even an object that particularly inspired you as you worked on the book. For example, Robin Hobb, in her book “Ship of Magic,” dedicated the book like this: “To caffeine and sugar, my companions through many a long night of writing.”
Summary: Brainstorm names of potential people. Make a list of people who are not appropriate for this dedication. Make a list of the book’s themes. Brainstorm reasons why you want to dedicate the book to someone. Fulfill a promise or request. Choose something that’s not a person.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you’ve told your friend how you feel, you might as well clue him in too. While sometimes a crush consists of flirting and subtle hints, it will make the situation easier on everyone if you know where your crush stands. For example, there’s no need to do damage control on your friendship if you discover he likes someone else!  Once both of your feelings are out in the open, you are able to decide how to proceed. In other words, don’t betray your friend by blabbing to your crush about her. She may like him and she may be hurt — but that doesn’t mean he needs to know that. Talk to your crush about your own feelings, and let your friend keep hers private if she wishes. Your friend will be hurt and embarrassed if she discovers you’ve been airing her dirty laundry to a boy she has feelings for.  A good rule of thumb is to simply speak for yourself. Talk only about your own feelings and desires, not anyone else’s. If the feelings are mutual and you want to proceed with a relationship, take your time. Let your friend adjust to the idea of you two being together before you change your Facebook status and start bringing him as a date to everything. A slow and steady start can make for a healthy, solid relationship, too.  That doesn’t mean you need to lie to your friend and pretend that things aren’t happening with your crush. It just means letting her cope with the situation at a slower pace. If your crush doesn’t respect or understand your need to take things slowly, he may not be the right guy for you after all.
Summary:
Tell your crush your feelings. Keep the situation with your friend private. Take things slow.
