Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Brush down your grill with oil. Turn your grill onto a medium to high heat. Pat your ham steaks dry with a few paper towels. Grill your ham steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on one side. Flip your ham steaks to cook for another 4 to 5 minutes and apply any glaze. Keep flipping and glazing until the ham steaks are browned and cooked through. Take the ham steaks off the grill and serve them immediately.

Answer: Before heating your grill, use a paper towel dipped in a little cooking oil to grease the cooking surface. This will allow your steaks to be flipped much more easily as they are cooking. If you forget to oil your grill before beginning to preheat it, hold the oil-dipped paper towel with a long set of tongs to grease it. Preheating your grill before cooking the ham steaks will allow them to cook faster, and give you more delicious browning across the meat. Leave the grill to heat up while you prepare your ham steaks. If you don’t have an outdoor grill, you can use a grill or griddle pan indoors to achieve a similar effect. If your ham steaks are still moist on the outside when put on the grill, the liquid will have to cook off before they begin browning. Use a couple of paper towels to remove any excess liquid on the outside of your ham steaks before cooking them. Evenly space your ham steaks across the surface of the grill and leave them to cook on one side for around 4 to 5 minutes. They may start browning at this point, but shouldn’t cook completely. Use a pair of tongs or a grilling fork to flip your ham steaks over. Let them cook on the other side for another 4 to 5 minutes. During this time, lightly brush any glaze you want to apply to the ham steak across the side you can see. Flip your ham steak over and glaze the other side. Continue flipping your ham steaks and glazing them until they have grill marks on each side and are heated through. Transfer your ham steaks off the grill and onto a serving plate to eat immediately. If they’re not all eaten, they can be stored for 2 to 3 days in the fridge before they’ll need throwing out. For a little extra flavor, brush over some of your remaining glaze just before serving your ham steaks.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Insert a screw into the anchor’s plate. Screw in hooks, alternatively. Tighten everything by hand. Hang the item on the brick wall.

Answer: Your anchor should be a hook on a plate with a hole in it. Use a screwdriver attachment on your drill. Drive the screw through the hole in the plate, and into the hole you predrilled into the wall. Some anchors also include a washer to put between the screw and the anchor plate. Other anchors are basically screws with hooks at the end. In this case, just turn the hook’s screw into the hole you predrilled in the wall. If you used anchors with plates, take a screwdriver and give each screw a few turns by hand just to double check it’s secure. The screw should not jiggle. If you used screw-in hook anchors, make sure that the hook on each is facing upright and is tightly attached to the wall. If you are hanging something like a framed picture, it may have a wire that you can catch on the anchor hooks. Other objects will have a hole, hanger, eyelet, or something else that you can fit the end of the anchor hook into. If your object has nothing to help it hang on a hook, take a trip to the hardware store. You should be able to find a variety of hangers you can attach to your object.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid contact with your stalker. Avoid unintentional signs or messages. Hide your personal information. Get a protective order. Move to an undisclosed location.

Answer: Stalkers often feel as though they are in a relationship with their victims, and any contact the victims make with them is perceived as validation of their “relationship,” which is nonexistent.  If you are being stalked, do not call, write to, or speak to your stalker in person if you can avoid it at all. Sometimes stalking victims yell at or talk to their stalkers, but even overt rudeness can be misconstrued by stalkers (who are frequently mentally disturbed) as communication of affection or interest. If you are being stalked online, do not respond in any way to any messages, regardless of how angry you become. Just print them for evidence and leave the computer. If a stalker does not have personal information about you such as your phone number, home address, or email address, do not let them find it.  Do not give your home phone number aloud to anyone in public places. If you find that you must provide a phone number, try using a work phone instead, or writing the number down then shredding it. Avoid putting your home address in writing. In cases of extreme stalking, you may want to get a PO Box for your mailing address so that it's less likely that you will need to provide anyone with your home address. Do not share your home address or place of work online or on social media. This may give an online stalker the opportunity to find you in person. In cases of repeated stalking or stalkers with a history of violence, you may be able to get an order of protection which legally requires the stalker to stay away from you. Be aware, however, that this could potentially anger the stalker and push him to violence. In very extreme cases of potentially violent stalking, you may decide to move to a new place. If you do so, you may want to consult an organization such as a battered women's shelter for tips about how to make yourself truly disappear.  Do not have your mail forwarded directly to your new home. Be careful when registering to vote in a new place. You can request anonymous registration. If you purchase property, your name may be on the public record as the land's owner.  Sometimes these records are tied to searchable databases, so you may want to rent to remain more anonymous.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write a strong opening. Offer persuasive evidence. Address the counter-argument. Conclude with a call to action.

Answer:
Before you can begin persuading your audience, you need to open the speech in a way that will make them want to pay attention. A strong opening has five main elements:  An attention grabber. This could be a statement (or sometimes a visual) that gets your audience's attention. It can be a good idea to be a little startling or dramatic at the opening of your speech. For example, you might start with information (or pictures) showing how a nearby landfill is nearly full to capacity. A link to the audience. This is a means of showing that you have something in common with the audience. Show that you have a similar background or share an emotional connection of some kind. This will really depend on knowing your audience. For example, if you are a parent, speaking to other parents, you might emphasize the concern for your own children's future. If you share a common interest or ideological position with your audience, you can emphasize that. Your credentials. This is a means of showing that you are knowledgeable or an authority on the topic of the speech. Highlight the research you've done on your topic. If you have any personal or professional experience with the topic, be sure to emphasize that, too. In the recycling example, you might say "I've invested many hours studying the recycling issue and the types of programs available in other cities." Your goal. Explain to the audience what you hope the speech will accomplish. For example: "I hope by the end of my talk that you will agree that we need a city wide recycling program." A road map. Finally, tell the audience what the main points of the speech will be. For example, "I believe we must start a recycling program for these three reasons...." The main body of your speech should contain the points you outlined in Part 1. It should provide the audience with several convincing reasons to support your viewpoint.  Arrange these points logically. Don't jump from one point to the next, and then back again. Instead, complete an argument, then move on to another that flows logically from it.  Use credible sources from your research to back the points you are making. Even if your point is more emotional (pathos), introducing some factual information will make your argument stronger. For example "Each year, 40,000 acres of beautiful forests are destroyed to make paper, according to a study from the American Recycling Institute." Use real life examples that the audience can relate to. Even an argument based on facts and logic (logos) should relate to the audience's lives and interests. For example: "In these hard economic times, I know many of you are afraid that a recycling program will mean a costly increase in taxes. But, the city of Springfield started a program like this one three years ago. So far they've seen an increase in revenue as a result of the program. Many residents have seen a decrease in their taxes as a result." Although it is not strictly necessary, your argument may be stronger if one or more of your supporting points addresses the views of the opposing side. This gives you a chance to address your audience's possible objections and make your argument stronger.  Make sure that you describe opposing views fairly and objectively. Consider whether someone who actually holds that view would approve of the way you are describing their position. If you aren't sure, find someone who thinks that way and ask!  For example, you would not want to say: "opponents of recycling just don't care if we waste our precious resources, or our money." That's not a fair description of their opinion. Instead, you might say: "opponents of recycling are concerned that the cost might be much higher than just using new materials," and then go on to offer an argument about why recycling might be the more cost-effective option. The conclusion of your speech should remind your audience of what you have told them. It should also make it clear exactly what you hope they will do next. Don't just restate, verbatim, what you've already said. Instead, use this as an opportunity to reinforce the way your main points support your call to action. For example: "To sum up, I've shown you (points a, b, and c). These three undeniable facts point to a city-wide recycling program as the most sensible and ethical step we can take in helping create a more sustainable future. Please, join me in voting 'yes' on this program in November."
