Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stand by your final decision. Stay positive and keep your partner informed at all times.

Answer: Let your mother (and the entire family) know that you've decided to go ahead and get married. And don't wait - when your mind is entirely made up, make the announcement, and keep it positive. Tell your mother privately that you now intend to declare your intentions to all. If there is any further resistance, at this point, you must take a firm, hard stand. Try to be as minimally harsh as possible, but let your mom know, in no uncertain terms, that the time for voicing her disagreeing opinions is now at an end.  For example: Tell your mom, calmly and kindly, "Mom, I understand your concerns, you've made them crystal clear. I've heard you out and I haven't changed my opinion.  We're getting married. I am not asking for your permission, but I would like your blessing. I hope you can give it." At the appointed time, announce clearly, amazingly and happily that you are engaged. Hopefully, Mom will have taken your warning to your heart. As long as mom keeps her mouth shut, be nice. It's all about simply getting along. Your partner hasn't caused this - it is your mother's choice to respond in this way. Your partner deserves to know how you are dealing with it and what it means for the day of the wedding, for future life together. Ultimately, your future spouse needs to know that he or she comes first and that you don't agree with her point of view. Do let your partner know that you still care for your mom and that ultimately, you hope it'll all turn out for the best. That gives both of you an understanding that there is an intention to keep working on your relationship with your mom for the sake of everyone.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use one of the standard sizes. Make sure the diagram has 180-degree rotational symmetry. Avoid small words. Use referenced words. Use each word only once. Make the long words count.

Answer: Simon & Schuster are the original crossword puzzle publishers, and they introduced the official standards that professional crossword puzzle creators use. One of these standards is that puzzles must be one of five grid sizes: 15×15, 17×17, 19×19, 21×21 or 23×23. The larger the grid, of course, the more difficult the puzzle. In this context, “diagram” refers to the arrangement of blacked out squares on your grid. These should be arranged so that if you flipped the graph, the blacked out squares would be in the same places. Two-letter words are never allowed, and three-letter words should be used sparingly. If you’re stuck for thinking of big words, remember that it is also acceptable to use phrases. With some exceptions, the words in your puzzle should be words one can find in a dictionary, atlas, work of literature, textbook, almanac, etc. Certain puzzle themes may prompt you to stray a bit from this rule, but don’t overdo it. If one of the phrases in your puzzle is “lost at sea,” you shouldn’t also use “sea salt.” Again, certain themes may give you some degree of flexibility, but you should tread carefully. One hallmark of a well made puzzle is that the longest words are the ones most closely tied into the theme. Not all crossword puzzles have a theme, but most of the best ones do.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide  whether misconduct has really occurred. Schedule a meeting with the agent’s managing broker. Gather supporting documents. Meet with the broker. Request resolution. Ask to see a supervisor.

Answer:
Difficulties in the relationship with a real estate agent often stem from a simple breakdown in communication.  Re-establishing communication may clear up any misunderstandings.  However, if you feel that your agent has deliberately lied or misled you about anything you consider material (e.g., the condition of a piece of property, the willingness of a seller or buyer, or the costs of services), you should pursue a complaint. Sometimes what strikes a seller as unprofessional conduct may seem minor to real estate professionals. Discuss your issue with an unbiased third party to gain another perspective. The broker is the party who owes you a fiduciary duty; the agent is merely the broker’s employee. You should therefore set up a meeting and make your complaints known. The agent may or may not be invited to attend.  Write out your complaints and all of the details that you remember. Take down the name of any witnesses as well as their telephone numbers. Practice explaining your complaint. You want to be precise and clear. Be firm but not angry. If you believe the broker violated the contract, take out your copy of the contract and highlight the section you believe has been violated. Although the agent’s manager has access to the contract, the meeting will go more smoothly if you bring as much supporting documentation as possible.  Other important documents include lease contracts, sales receipts, and communications between you and the agent. If you do not want the agent to attend, ask for him or her not to be present.  If possible, you should willingly agree to have the agent at the meeting. Problems can be resolved more quickly if the supervisor or manager has both sides of the story. You can also gently correct any errors the agent makes in describing his side of the story. Apart from merely lodging a complaint against an agent, you can ask the managing broker to resolve your problem. For example, if the agent did not disclose a defect in the house, you could ask for an offsetting reduction in agent fees. Be open to settlement. Accepting less than you want does not mean that you cannot still file a complaint with your state’s licensing board. If you feel the meeting did not go well, ask if there is anyone else you can meet with. In large real estate offices you probably will not meet with the president initially, so there should be someone else to talk to. Ask to move up the chain of command.
