Article: Your residency in the country must usually be continuous. This means that you must live only in that country for a specified amount of time. If you leave the country for longer than a few weeks a year, you may no longer be eligible for citizenship. For example, in France, if you leave for more than 6 months, you may become ineligible for citizenship. Most countries will not give you citizenship unless you make a certain amount of money. Some may request proof that you are employed in the country. If you are married and do not work, you may need to provide details of your spouse's job instead.  For example, in Denmark, you must prove that you are able to support yourself and your family without relying on any public assistance, such as housing or welfare.  If you are a student, the requirements may vary. You may need to graduate and get a full-time job before you become eligible. If you own a house or land in the country to which you are applying for citizenship, you may have a better case. In some countries, such as Greece, Latvia, Portugal, and Cyprus, you can earn the right to citizenship just by owning a certain amount of property.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?

Problem: Article: Because Swiss watches range so much in price, costing anywhere from thousands dollars to millions of dollars, it is important to know how much you are willing to spend before considering which features you are looking for. Set your budget first and don’t allow yourself to buy a watch you can’t afford. There are many things that dictate the price of a Swiss watch, and once you’ve set a budget you can prioritize which features are most important to you. Definitely the more expensive option, purchasing a Swiss Made watch means that the movement was manufactured, cased, and inspected by the manufacturer in Switzerland. This label also means that at least 50% of all the watch’s components were made, assembled, and inspected in Switzerland. The movement on a Swiss Made watch should be smaller than 50mm in diameter and 12mm in thickness. If your watch exceeds these parameters, it is probably counterfeit. Watches with the Swiss Movement label are often much cheaper than Swiss Made watches, as it means that the only thing Swiss about the watch is the movement. Many watches are mass-produced with Swiss movements, and this does not guarantee that you are purchasing a good watch. If you are buying on a budget, buying a Swiss Movement watch is the way to go. These watches can be found for as low as 20 dollars, but could reach as high as thousands of dollars, depending on the brand and the materials that make up the watch. Often thought of as works of art, mechanical watches are the classic type of Swiss watch movement and are often more expensive than other movements. Mechanical movements must be wound periodically and are not nearly as accurate as quartz watches, but they are popular because of their beautiful and unique craftsmanship. Although automatic watches resemble mechanical movements in their beauty and craftsmanship, they take much less effort to maintain. An automatic calibre uses the movement of your wrist to wind the mainspring, which in turn powers the watch, instead of relying on you to wind it every day. This is a great option for someone who does not care too much about the classical mechanics of a Swiss watch but is still looking for a high end, expensive watch. Quartz movements are set and regulated by a small piece of quartz and a small battery. Quartz movements are often found in high end street watches because they are accurate and cheap to make. Quartz movements are a great choice if the mechanics of the watch are less important to you than a watch’s aesthetic and accessories, as you can save money to put toward more of a flashy watch.
Summary: Set your budget before starting your search. Purchase a Swiss Made watch if you are willing to spend more. Buy a Swiss Movement watch if you want to save money. Select a mechanical watch for a classic feel. Get an automatic watch if you are looking for accuracy and simplicity. Buy a quartz watch if you are on a budget.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Keep all of your supplies near your stove top or range so you aren't running around your kitchen with hot sugar. You'll need a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan on your stove. Set a large bowl of ice water on the counter next to the stove. You'll also need a small bowl of water, a pastry brush, and a candy thermometer. Make sure the saucepan will be able to fit inside the bowl with ice water. Pour 1/2 cup of water in your saucepan. You'll also need to scoop in 1/2 cup of corn syrup and 2 1/2 cups of granulated sugar. Try not to get any of the granulated sugar on the sides of the saucepan since this can make the mixture crystallize. It may help to pour the granulated sugar directly into the center of the saucepan. Stir the mixture just once so that the water and sugars combine. Turn the heat onto medium-high heat so that the sugar dissolves. Avoid stirring the mixture while it cooks or it may crystallize and become grainy. The mixture will bubble and begin to darken a little. Keep cooking until a candy thermometer reads 293 degrees F (145 degrees C). To prevent crystallization, dip your pastry brush in some water and wipe down the sides of the saucepan. Take extra care not to burn yourself with the hot sugar. Once your sugar syrup has reached the proper temperature, you'll need to immediately stop it from cooking further. Use hot pads to carefully lift the saucepan off of the stove and plunge the bottom of the pot directly into the bowl of ice water. Keep the saucepan on the ice water for 5 seconds. This should bring the temperature of your sugar syrup down to around 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

SUMMARY: Ready your work space. Place the ingredients in the saucepan. Cook the syrup. Ice the syrup.

Q: Knowing your own strengths and what you care about will help you choose what area of leadership to focus in. Do you love helping people? Consider joining a volunteer organization for the needy. Do you have a passion for writing and enjoy working with a team? Maybe the school newspaper would be a good fit for you. If you’re a people person and you’d like to work toward the good of the school community, consider joining the student government. Run for student council. Join a few teams, clubs, or organizations and get a feel for what is a good fit for you. Get to know the other people involved in the group right off the bat. You’re not limited to student council – sports teams, language clubs, debate teams, academic teams, the school band, performing arts groups, and publications (newspaper, yearbook) are just a few examples of organizations where there are opportunities for leadership positions. For pretty much every leadership position, you have to start at the bottom and learn the ropes. This is the way you gain knowledge about the group and how things are run. Spend enough time becoming knowledgeable, and you will start becoming a person that others in the group look up to. Eventually, you’ll be able to take a leadership position. Begin assuming more responsibilities in your group. Set goals and do what it takes to accomplish them. Leaders are people who don’t wait to be told what to do; they come up with good ideas and turn their visions into reality. Be sure to communicate with others in the group about your ideas and encourage them to join you in accomplishing them. Invite outside organizations, like those that help the environment or the homeless, to your school by organizing a fundraiser. Organize special events to raise awareness of important issues or celebrations, like Cancer or HIV awareness, Black History Month, etc. Learn about what other young people do to support causes - in their communities, nationally, or even internationally.

Know your strengths. Get involved. Gain experience. Take action. Make a difference.
