Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Calm your guinea before bathing it. Wipe your guinea pig's soiled fur with a damp cloth. Pour 2 inches (5.1 cm) of water into the container. Lower your guinea pig into the water. Rinse your guinea pig with warm water. Rub a few drops of shampoo into the guinea pig's fur.

Answer: Your guinea pig will probably become anxious or afraid if you simply place it in a container of water. To relax your guinea pig, hold it close to you, talk to it in a soothing voice, and stroke its fur gently. You can also give your guinea pig a treat such as a lettuce leaf or cucumber slice to distract it.  If you need to bathe more than one guinea pig, wash them one at a time so they don't hurt or aggravate each other. You'll also be able to pay more attention to a single guinea pig than two at a time. If your guinea pig is acting jumpy, set it in a small box and carry the box to the bathing area. Before you give your guinea pig a full bath, try removing surface dirt with a damp cloth. Dip a clean cloth in warm water and wring it out. Then wipe the cloth over the soiled patch of fur. If the fur looks clean, you won't need to wash the guinea pig in water. Avoid using dust treatments that are advertised to keep guinea pigs clean. Since guinea pigs don't use dust to clean themselves, it can actually cause respiratory problems if the guinea pigs breathe it in. To prevent your guinea pig from slipping in the container, lay a small cloth in the bottom of the bathing container. Then pour enough warm water to come 2 inches (5.1 cm) up the sides of the container.  Avoid using hot water, which can dry or irritate the guinea pig's sensitive skin. Guinea pigs also dislike cold water since it will lower their body temperature. Your guinea pig should be able to stand up comfortably in the water. Slowly put your guinea pig into the water hindquarters-first. Once your guinea pig is in the water, give it time to adjust to the temperature and feeling of the water. Don't walk away while your guinea pig is in the container. Stay close so you can reassure your guinea pig. If your guinea pig seems distressed in the water, offer it a treat so it develops a positive association with bath time. Use your hands and pour enough warm water over the guinea pig's fur to completely rinse away the shampoo suds. It's important to remove all traces of shampoo so the residue doesn't irritate the guinea pig's skin. Choose a guinea-pig safe shampoo and squirt a few drops of it into your hands. Gently massage the shampoo into the guinea pig's fur. Be as gentle as you can since their skin is sensitive and you're trying to keep them calm.  Avoid getting shampoo near the face and ears. Don't use human or dog shampoos on guinea pigs since these could irritate guinea pig skin. If you only need to spot clean your guinea pig, put a few drops of liquid dish soap into a small container with lukewarm water. Rub the soapy water onto the guinea pig’s fur with cotton balls.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Limit the release to 500 words. Write in the third person. Include the five Ws in the first paragraph. Write the rest of your news release in logical order.

Answer: Your press release should ideally be between 400 and 500 words. Get straight to the point, and don’t include unnecessary or unrelated information. Avoid using first or second person perspectives and pronouns like “I/me” “you/yours,” or “we/our.” Write your press release in the third person, using pronouns like “they/them,” “he/his,” “she/hers.” For example, say “The annual Fit Fashion Show will be held at San Francisco's Pier 16 on Sept. 2,” rather than "We are pleased to announce that Fit Fashion Show is taking a giant leap forward and moving our annual event to San Francisco's Pier 16 on September 2, 2013." The first paragraph is called the "lead" (sometimes spelled "lede"). These one or two sentences will probably determine whether your release succeeds in grabbing your reader or loses their attention. The five Ws you should include are: who, what, where, when, and why. Also include the TDP, which is the time, date, and place. See the example of a lead below: The California Sports Festival, celebrating athletic achievement throughout the state's history, will held free to the public from 11:30 a.m. to 7:15 p.m., on Saturday, August 12 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. Use simple sentences and short paragraphs to provide additional necessary information. See the examples below:  The Cabrillo National Monument has been closed for repairs for three weeks and will be re-opened by the National Park Service for the public on Saturday. Ferry boat service begins at 9 a.m. daily and reservations cost $4.50 per person.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use the proper bulb. Monitor the bulb. Replace the bulb.

Answer: Salt crystal lamps are supposed to evaporate any water on the surface of the lamp. If it doesn’t evaporate properly, it can start to drip and give the illusion of melting. The bulb should make the lamp warm to touch, but not hot. For lamps 10 pounds or less, a 15-watt bulb should be strong enough. Use a 25-watt bulb for a 10 to 20 pound lamp, and for a lamp more than 20 pounds, use a 40 to 60-watt bulb. If your salt crystal lamp melts and drips moisture, check the bulb. If the lamp is melting inside, it may leak into the bulb and cause problems. Notice if the bulb flickers, malfunctions, or gives any other problems. If you are having trouble with moisture on your lamp, replace the bulb. You may not have the correct bulb. Make sure the bulb you are using is a heat-producing bulb. You should be able to buy replacement bulbs that are just like the one that came in your lamp at any home improvement store. If the same thing happens, your lamp may be defective due to damage from the water.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be a social butterfly. Talk to your friends often and make sure you have spoken with every friend at least once every day. Vary your friendship groups. Be friendly but neutral to all others. Call or text people regularly. Join clubs and activities that either occur during or after school. Avoid bugging people when they're busy. Don't be rude to the popular people in your school, or they'll label you something lower than you want to be. Avoid sounding haughty, snobby, or proud.

Answer:
Avoid sticking to just one group. Flutter from one group to another, and invite those who sit alone to join you! If they are too shy, join them instead, and make sure as many people as possible feel included. If it isn't possible to talk face to face with one or more of your friends, text or email them a sweet message to let them know you care for them. It's best to not just stick with one group of friends. Instead, have a few circles:  Have one circle of friends you are very close with. Outside of the circle of close friends, have a circle of normal friends you can talk to and fool around with. Surrounding the circle of normal friends will be acquaintances, or people you don't normally talk to every single day, but you are friendly with. Treat everyone else who isn't your friend (acquaintances) neutrally. Have no bad thoughts or show any bad feelings to anyone. You don't have to treat them too kindly or meanly - just show enough friendliness and kindness to get by. That way, no one can ever say you were mean to them, and people will start looking up to you!  If there is someone you can't stand, treat them neutrally either way. Who says you have to like them to treat them neutrally? Remember that they are a human being like you as well, and consider giving them a chance. Get on good terms with them! Perhaps you got the wrong impression. However, do not ignore the annoying person, or they may get angry at you and try to do something harmful to get back at you. Don't form enemies in the school - that's the last thing you want to do when trying to become popular. Do not attempt anything that you know will provoke or hurt them. Word might get around, and your chances of becoming popular will shatter. However, it's best to stick with just texting in case some people get annoyed with the phone ringing constantly. Overdoing this is not good at all, as people will find you just annoying, and it'll give you a bad reputation. Joining clubs and activities is one of the most efficient and popular ways to improve your social status, and get your name around the school! Plus, you can form new bonds while participating in an activity you enjoy. If they look intently focused on something, save your hello for later when they're less busy. Interrupting their focus will most likely bother them, and cause them to dislike you, even if you were only trying to be nice and friendly. Treat them kindly, but don't be their servant just to please them. Do enough to receive their favor, and in return, they'll be kind to you and maybe do nice things for you as well.  Avoid the snobs. There is nothing you can do to entirely please them, and they'll only look down on you. Go for the kinder popular people. Know right and wrong from what they ask you to do. If what they're asking you to do is wrong, don't do it just to please them. If your goal is to be a popular person without being rude, stick with it, and earn your popular status by not being rude! Have a polite, formal tone, and let it betray none of your inner feelings. Even though your opinion may be the right thought, it will not seem right to the other person. Don't sound like you know you're right, and act like the other person is wrong, or you'll come off as snobby.
