Article: If you tell a joke that bombs – no one laughs and the audience is just staring at you (or worse yet, they boo) – shake it off and move on. If you get too caught up in one joke failing, the rest of your jokes might also fail because you're delivering them with the same energy or personality. Every comic bombs from time to time – it's okay! Even experienced comics have a hard time with involving the crowd in their sets. They're hard to do without a lot of preparation. If you're not used to reading a crowd, crowd participation jokes can bomb. Some comics will make merchandise pitches, or toast other comics (or themselves). This is usually a turn-off for your audience. Stick to your material instead, and the audience will probably want to buy your merchandise on their own! Unless you're doing your own comedy special, you'll probably be sharing the stage with other comics. That means you'll have a certain amount of time to perform. Do not go over your time limit. It's disrespectful to the other comics and shows if you can't follow instructions. Make sure you allow for laughter when you time your set. You don't want to have a 5-minute set that's exactly 5 minutes and have to run over hard-earned laughter to stay in time. Build in an extra minute or so for laughter.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Move on from jokes that don't work. Try to avoid crowd participation. Stick to your material. Stay in the time limit.

Problem: Article: You get to decide what colors you use. For example, if you are making a tree, you might want brown, red, and a few kinds of green. Make sure to buy embroidery floss, not sewing thread. Embroidery floss is thread that is twisted so that it has 6 strands, so it is thicker than the thread you would use for sewing. You can use cotton or wool embroidery floss.
Summary: Get embroidery floss in all the colors you need for your design.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're making a choker necklace, use a measuring tape to measure your neck around where you want the choker to be. Take note of this measurement and allow for an extra 3 extra inches on each side when cutting the wire. If this necklace is a choker for someone else, you'll need to measure their neck instead. Use the tape measure to measure out a length of the jewelry wire. Depending on what kind of necklace you want, this will be anywhere from the neck circumference you measured plus 6 inches to 41 inches. Cut the wire with the side cutters. Always use side cutters, not scissors, when cutting wire.

SUMMARY: Measure the circumference of your neck. Cut your wire.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To keep track of your child’s growth, his pediatrician will use a growth chart. Try to tell your child to stand up straight and not squirm around so that the doctor can take accurate measurements. There are four basic growth charts that your pediatrician uses depending on the sex and age of the child. These are:  Boys Growth Chart from Birth to 36 Months. Girls Growth Chart from Birth to 36 Months. Boys Growth Chart from 2 to 20 Years. Girls Growth Chart from 2 to 20 Years. It should be remembered that growth charts are used to see a pattern of growth in your child and not as a tool to compare his results with other kids his age. If the pattern your child presents has always been more or less the same since he was born, then your child is growing normally. Growth charts help the doctor and yourself to recognize when something suddenly changes in your child’s growth pattern. If a change in growth does occur, the doctor will most likely order an x-ray to be taken to examine your child’s skeletal age. Skeletal age is the measure of your child’s bone development. While you may want to keep track of your child’s growth, try to let the doctor do this for you. Children between the ages of 6 and 18 months have a tendency to fluctuate in growth; this is absolutely normal. A parent keeping track of their child’s growth at this time might become needlessly worried. Fluctuating growth patterns generally stop when the child reaches adolescence.
Summary: Have your child measured by his pediatrician. Understand what growth charts can show you. Try to refrain from taking your own measurements until your child is older.

If you don't know what gauge your old strings are, take your guitar into a music shop and have a tech look at them. If you look for your guitar on a string package, that only tells you that those strings are appropriate for your guitar. There's no guarantee those were the strings you had. If you want to use a different gauge, you'll need to replace all of your strings, not just the one that's broken. Changing the gauge of your strings will alter the balance between the nut and the bridge, which can destroy your guitar's intonation. Talk to a guitar repair expert before you attempt to do this on your own. The ball end of standard guitar strings won't fit in a Floyd Rose bridge. Cut off the ball end as well as the part of the string just above the ball that is tightly twisted. Make sure your cut is even and clean. If you're changing more than one string, only cut the ball end off of one string at a time. Since the ball ends are color-coded, this is the only way to know for sure which string is next (unless you're really familiar with the thickness of the strings). Insert the string into the saddle at the bridge, then tighten the bridge with your Allen wrench. If the small metal block fell out when you loosened the saddle, set it back into place before tightening the bridge. Take care not to over-tighten the bridge, or you could damage your guitar. If you counted turns when you loosened it, use the same number of turns to tighten it back up. Pull the string up the neck of your guitar, making sure it runs over the correct nut slot. Put the end through the post hole and kink the string over itself to lock it in place.  Line up your postholes with the nut, so you can slide the string straight through to the other side. Leave some slack so the string can wrap around the post several times. This will help keep the string from slipping. Using your string winder or your fingers, carefully turn the tuning peg to bring the string back to tension. Be careful not to wind it too tight, or the string may snap.  Each new wrap of the string should be below the previous wrap. This also helps keep your strings from slipping out of tune. Bring the string slightly up to tension, but don't try to tune it until you've checked the bridge. Open the back of your guitar with a Phillip's head screwdriver to access the bridge's springs. Slowly adjust the tension on the springs until the bridge is level again.  A heavier gauge string will cause your bridge to lean forward, while a lighter gauge string causes it to sink back. This can badly affect your guitar's playability. If the bridge is tilted forward, turn the claw screws clockwise to tighten the springs. If the bridge is tilted backward, turn the claw screws counterclockwise to loosen them. Turn the screwdriver a quarter-turn at a time, and then check to see whether it's even. You don't want to go too far in the opposite direction.

One-sentence summary --
Buy replacement strings of the same gauge. Use wire cutters to snip off the ball end of the replacement string. Secure the new string at the bridge. Insert the other end of the string in the tuning post hole. Wrap the string around the tuning post. Adjust the bridge if you're changing to a different gauge of strings.
