Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Give some age-old advice about trying again. Tell them that their grades are not a reflection of who they are as a person. Help them set realistic goals. Encourage better organizational and time-management skills. Recommend that your friend start communicating with teachers.

Answer: Remind your friend that everyone faces adversity at some point and it is what you do after that really counts. Express the importance of having a positive attitude about academics and staying persistent. Be sure you emphasize the significance of effort above ability. Not everyone can be a straight-A student, but everyone can put in the effort and do their very best. You can also research some empowering motivational quotes to share with your friend for a push in a positive direction. For example, a famous proverb says “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly.” Just because the person got a bad grade does not mean that they are not "good" at that or able to do it. A bad grade is just a measurement of the person's skill at that particular point, and a bad grade can be improved with extra studying and practice. It's just a temporary reflection of what they knew at that point.  For example, you could say, "I know that you don't understand multiplying fractions right now, but I know that you'll work extra hard to get a better grade on the next test!" Or, you can say something like, "I know that you're not happy with this score, but it doesn't mean that you are 'dumb.' It just means that you didn't understand this concept." As a friend, you can motivate your friend after making a bad grade by suggesting that he or she set a goal to improve the grade. Setting a goal can give your friend something to focus on and making strides to reach it can offer a needed confidence boost. Keep in mind that this goal should be realistic and attainable, not a stab in the dark. For instance, if your friend made an F on his or her report card, it would be unreasonable to strive to get an A by the end of the next grading period. Maybe the person can set a goal to bring the F up to a C or a B, which is more feasible. In some cases, you may be dealing with an exceptionally bright student who merely has trouble getting assignments turned in on time, or forgetting to complete them in the first place. If this is the case, your friend may benefit from learning some time-management and organizational strategies to help him or her become a better student. Some easy-to-implement tips include:  Using a planner to write down assignments Assigning different colors to certain subject folders and notebooks to keep materials organized Aiming to complete projects at least a day or two prior to the deadline Keeping a consist daily and weekly schedule Stocking your backpack with everything you need to be productive Keeping your work area clutter-free and distraction-free Working for a period of time and then scheduling a short break (e.g. 30 minutes of work = 5-minute break) Creating a note-taking system Developing a reward system to inspire project completion Sometimes, teachers have no idea whether or not a teaching method is successful. Encourage the student to go in and talk to their teacher about what he or she is not retaining well. Perhaps the teacher can offer additional assignments to ensure that the material is understood or even suggest online learning tools to practice at home.  Your friend may also need to adopt the habit of speaking up in class and asking questions as the material is being taught. Practice at home with him or her raising his hand and asking a question to achieve a better understanding. Recommend that they go over their old tests with their teacher to narrow down which areas they don't understand or which portions of problems they are getting stuck on. You could also suggest that they ask their teacher for extra tutoring.

Use a homemade mild cleaner. Thoroughly dry the leather. Use a water-based, pH neutral leather conditioner. Use a toothbrush to clean seams. Clean the floor mats.

Answer: Leather requires more careful care than fabric or vinyl upholstery, as it is more susceptible to aging and fading. The best option to clean leather is to use cleaners specifically made for leather, such as cleaners and conditioners. These are often available as a kit, such as the Wolfgang Leather Care Cockpit Kit or the Pinnacle Contours Interior Kit. Leather responds to heat and will accept cleaners and treatments more readily in a warm environment. If it’s hot where you live, then you don’t need to turn on the heater. But if it’s the middle of winter, turn on the heater for a few minutes to warm up the car before cleaning the leather. For stubborn stains on leather upholstery, pretreat the leather with a leather conditioner. Then apply a leather stain remover on the stain and rub it in. Allow it to sit for about 30 seconds and wipe off the stain remover. Apply the leather cleaner to your upholstery, focusing on one section or seat at a time. Use a soft cloth to rub the cleaner on the upholstery. Rinse off the cleaner thoroughly with clean water. Follow the instructions on the product’s label for proper usage. You can mix some mild hand soap with warm water and wash the leather upholstery. Do not use very much water. Be sure to thoroughly rinse off the soapy mixture by using a clean cloth soaked in water to wipe off the soap. After you’ve cleaned the leather, make sure it is completely dry before you apply conditioner. While leather naturally repels water, it will not hold the conditioner if it’s wet. Leather conditioner will replenish the oils that make your leather smooth and rich-looking. Less expensive leather conditioners may be petroleum-based, which tend to cling to leather and can transfer to clothing. They may also leave a greasy finish on the leather. Using a water-based, pH neutral leather conditioner will ensure that your leather upholstery and your clothes are kept in good condition. Apply the conditioner to a cloth and wipe over the leather. Wipe away any excess conditioner and allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes before using your car. On the seat upholstery, there are seams where the upholstery has been sewn together. Dirt and debris can easily gather here and it is often hard to lift this dirt with a vacuum or cloth. Use a toothbrush to get at these areas, scrubbing gently with your cleaner. Remove the floor mats from the car and clean them using the same cleaner that you’ve used on the rest of the upholstery. To clean the mats, make an all-purpose upholstery cleaner by mixing 1 part water with 1 part dishwashing liquid. Spray the mixture onto the mat and brush with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and use a microfiber cloth to dry the mats. For rubber or vinyl mats, you can also apply liquid wax shoe polish to them. This will help improve their shine and will also make them easier to rinse off and keep clean.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Bring a valid photo I.D. Cash your check with your bank teller. Deposit the check, then withdraw cash from your account, if necessary. Deposit your check at one of your bank’s ATMs. Use a mobile banking app to deposit the check.

Answer:
to any branch of your bank. If you hold an open account of any type with a bank, they will cash a valid check for you. However, when you cash a check in person, you may be required to show a valid photo I.D. Driver’s licenses and passports are usually the best choices. In some cases, military or school I.D.s may be accepted.  Many banks prefer that you have your bank debit card with you as well. If you do not have your debit card, you may be required to fill in additional forms to cash your check. Contact the bank branch with any questions about their I.D. requirements. You won’t be required to show a photo I.D. if you cash the check at an ATM or via your smartphone. This is the easiest method for getting the money you have earned quickly and safely. Show the teller your I.D. or hand them your debit card, if requested. Never sign the back of the check before you arrive at the bank; instead, do it in front of the teller as you cash it for ultimate security. Some banks may require you to deposit the check to your account rather than cash it. This is more likely if the check you are trying to cash is written on an account from another bank.  If you need cash right away and already have sufficient funds in your bank account, you can deposit the check, then immediately make a withdrawal in the amount you need. If the bank on which the check is drawn refuses to pay your bank — in other words, the check “bounces” — your bank will reimburse itself from your bank account. Banks will also usually charge a fee for the trouble of dealing with a returned check. Modern ATMs (Automated Teller Machines) make it easy to insert and deposit paper checks to your account. Depending on your bank, the funds may be available immediately, or you may need to wait up to three days for the cash to go through. But, if you already have sufficient funds in your account, you can just withdraw the amount you need in the meantime.  Insert your debit card Type in your PIN and press Enter Select "Deposit Check" Insert the check into the check deposit slot Confirm the amount on the check Withdraw the money you need from the ATM. Many banks now allow you to deposit checks into your account using a smartphone. The process may vary between banks, but it usually involves downloading the bank’s app and using your smartphone camera to take a photo of your check.  Make sure to follow all the directions in the app. Endorse the check, then take clear, well-lit photographs of its front and back sides. Keep the check until you receive confirmation that it has been deposited, then destroy it. Once the check clears, though, you will have to leave the house to withdraw the money you deposited from an ATM or bank branch.
