Article: Most outdoor air conditioning units have an appliance shut off box situated nearby. Open the door on the box and flip the switch or remove the fuse to cut power to the air conditioner. Window and wall units can usually just be unplugged.  If you have no shut off box, turn off the power at the circuit breaker in your house. Never attempt to work on an air conditioning unit without first disconnecting the power. Window units can usually be cleaned just like central air units, but the coils will be easier to access if you remove the unit from the window before you start working on it.  The layout of window units is different than indoor or outdoor central air units, but the functions and parts are effectively the same. Be sure to lay the air conditioner on a flat surface, preferably outdoors, for cleaning. As the seasons change and leaves fall from trees, they can collect on the air conditioning unit or even slip inside through the heat dissipation vents. Once you've trimmed the branches and bushes, be sure to clear the entire area around the unit.  Loose leaves and dirt surrounding your air conditioning unit can be blown through the vents, collecting around the coils and limiting how effective they can be. Cleaning the area of debris and foliage will also improve airflow into the air conditioning unit. Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves when trimming trees and bushes. Depending on your air conditioner, you will need either an appropriately sized socket or a screwdriver to remove the bolts or screws securing the cover in place. Once you have them removed, pull the lid off of the air conditioning unit.  The user manual will tell you what size socket or screwdriver you need. Set the screws aside somewhere safe. Some air conditioning units will have a grill with a fan attached to it mounted on the top. Remove the screws and pull the grill out from the top of the open unit. The fan is usually attached, so be sure to support it as you remove the assembly to avoid letting it hang by its electrical connections. In air conditioners where the fan stays in place, avoid spraying it directly with water as you clean.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Shut off the power to the air conditioner. Take the air conditioner out of the window (when applicable). Trim foliage so it isn't closer than 2 feet (0.6 meters) to the unit. Remove the cover from the air conditioner unit. Pull the cover and fan from the unit (when applicable).

Problem: Article: You are much more likely to commit to reading when it is an enjoyable and engaging experience. If you are bored while reading, you are more likely to put the book down and engage in a different activity.  Find books related to your hobbies, career goals, or a topic that piques your curiosity. There are books that cover every topic imaginable, and the availability of local libraries, bookstores, and the Internet means that all of them are at your fingertips. Don't limit yourself to just monographs. Comic books and graphic novels are a great way to get children and young adults hooked on reading. Collections of short stories are a good option for those who don't want to commit to reading a longer work. Read magazines that cover your areas of interest. Whether your interests are in motorcycle maintenance, gardening, bird watching, or 19th-century architecture, there is a magazine that caters to you. Many of these contain lengthy, well-sourced articles. The more you associate reading with comfort and relaxation the more likely you are to continue developing your reading skills. Reading can become a treat, rather than a chore.  Find a quiet place to read so that you aren’t disturbed. Avoid distractions like TV or the radio, or other people prone to disturbing you. Make sure it is somewhere with good lighting where you can relax. Hold the book about 15 inches away from your face (approximately the distance from your elbow to your wrist). Make a cozy and fun reading area. A nicely lit corner with comfortable pillows creates a great ambiance for reading. If you are helping someone read, stay positive! Negative feedback will only discourage a fledgling reader, so keep the environment upbeat. Reading doesn't have to be a solitary pursuit, and can be even more enjoyable when shared with others.  Start a book club with friends. Making reading a social experience can inspire you to continue to improve. Friends can also provide encouragement for each other. Start an online blog reviewing the latest books you have read. Encourage others to dialogue about their opinions of the work. Go to a coffee shop or cafe readers frequent. Seeing others reading can inspire you, or expose you to interesting titles. Strike up a conversation with a fellow patron about what they have been reading. Consider taking a class at your local college, community college, or community center. You can learn a new skill, study a topic that interests you, and practice your reading skills at the same time. Read interesting passages to family or friends. You might encourage them to improve their reading as well. If you can establish reading as a regular and normal activity in your household, all members of your family will be encouraged to be better readers. It will also allow you to practice your reading skills.  Parents can help their children be good readers by reading to them when they are young. Reading to children helps them develop language and listening skills, which prepares them to understand the written word.  Keep books handy in your household and keep age-appropriate books accessible to children to peruse on their own. Even if a child cannot read on their own yet, establishing initial skills for reading—such as how to correctly hold a book and turn the pages—is an important step to becoming a reader. Family reading time can provide a moment to bond with your children. Life can be very hectic, and it is often difficult to set aside quality time with your family. Try to schedule a moment to read with your children everyday as part of your routine. Be patient if your child begins to favor one book and wants to read it over and over again. A favorite story could be offering your child comfort or appealing to a particular interest they have at the moment. Also, re-reading the same words and sentences repeatedly helps your child begin to recognize words by sight.
Summary: Read materials that interest you. Create a pleasant reading environment. Make reading a social experience. Make reading a family affair.

Long, extended study sessions with no breaks will not help you learn information effectively. To be an effective learner, you will need to take regular breaks as you work. Try studying in 30 minutes intervals, and taking a 5-10 minute break at the end of each interval.  If you find that your concentration is starting to falter, you may have to pause studying for the day or switch to a different subject. Do something relaxing during your break that doesn't take too much concentration, such as stretching or walking. Use flash cards, mock quizzes, and practice exams to more effectively learn information. Taking a test helps you learn information better than simply re-reading the information. Try creating flash cards to quiz yourself. You can also create, or ask your instructor for, a mock quiz or practice exam.  You can create a simple mock exam for yourself by copying all of the questions from your previous quizzes and answering them. Consider taking a mock quiz or exam first. The topics that you struggle the most with are the ones that you should focus on when studying. Some people retain information better if multiple senses are engaged in the study process. One way to incorporate multiple senses while studying is by reading your notes out loud as you rewrite them. This approach uses multiple senses and might help you retain information more effectively. Try using a song, acronym, or mnemonic device to help you remember information. For example, if you need to memorize the notes of the treble scale, EGBDF, you can assign the letters a set of words or phrase that is easy to remember, like, “every good boy does fine.” Memory games don't work for everyone. If you find yourself struggling to memorize information using this method, skip it.
