Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Call around to different salvage yards and junkyards in your area. Ask the junkyard their protocol for taking junk cars. Compare the pros & cons of your options.

Answer: You shouldn’t do this until you have assessed the details of the car you’re selling. You need to describe the vehicle thoroughly so that they can give you an accurate quote of how much they’ll pay you for it. Keep a running list of the different amounts you’re quoted by different junkyards so that you can compare your options. Some junkyards will dismantle the cars themselves. Others will pay you more money if you do it yourself and save them the time. Ask them if they pay more if you are able to drive the car to their lot, versus if they have to come pick it up with a tow truck. Ask them exactly what paperwork they will need to see from you. Make sure you know the ins and outs of each junkyard. If you aren’t desperate to get every penny out of your car, you can choose the most convenient option. A junkyard across town may give you a higher offer if you drive it all the way to them, but you may opt for a lesser offer if they’re willing to tow your unreliable junk car. If you aren’t experienced in working with cars hands-on, it’s probably not wise to try to dismantle the car yourself for a few extra bucks. Consider which option works best for you, while still bringing you a reasonable amount of money.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dig around the roots.

Answer: Use a shovel to dig next to the stump, exposing the roots underneath the surrounding dirt. Move around the circumference of the stump and continue digging until you've exposed all of the largest roots around the tree. Dig deep on either side of the roots to expose them as much as possible. If the roots seem very large and deep, and it's difficult to completely uncover them, you might want to consider a different root removal method. The digging method works best when you're able to uncover the roots almost to their tips.

You can choose an app with which to share your video, or a location where you'd it to be saved.  For example, tap the Facebook icon if you want to share the video on Facebook. If you want to save the video as a file to your iPhone or iPad (you can always share it later), choose “Save Video.” If sharing on an app like Facebook or YouTube, enter your sign-in information as stated in the on-screen instructions. Choose from 4k (Ultra HD), 1080p (HD), or 720p (HD). Note that not all apps or services support larger HD files, so you may not see all of these options.  720p is 1280 x 720 resolution. The file size will stay small despite the video being HD-quality. 1080p is HD at 1920 x 1080 resolution—5 times the quality of 720p. The save or upload will take longer than 720p. 4k is 4096 x 2160 resolution, which is 4 times the quality of 1080p. Expect a large file with a lengthy upload time. If using YouTube or Facebook, you may have to use the app or website to set up tags and descriptions.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Engage in verbal communication. Listen. Display non-verbal communication. Resolve conflicts in healthy ways.

Answer:
The easiest way to meet people, even briefly, is to start a conversation. Research shows that communication, even when required, actually makes us happier and have a more positive outlook on people generally.  Be assertive. Assertiveness is about talking about your thoughts and feelings in appropriate and respectful ways. Be honest. Be transparent with people about who you are. People can sense honesty, and it encourages them to trust you in return. Additionally, beginning a relationship with lies means those lies have to be maintained thence forth, and increases the risk of the lie being exposed, compromising the relationship.  Ask open-ended questions. Get people to talk about themselves. Not only does this enable sharing, trust and intimacy, but it helps you guide the conversation toward topics that are comfortable for you. Listening is the first step to building a strong rapport with others. It shows that we value who they are as well as what is being said.  Some keys to good listening are:  Maintain eye contact: This doesn't mean staring, but it does mean focusing your attention on the companion as opposed to your phone or a person across the room. Maintain appropriate body language: Your body language can help reinforce confidence in your companion. Don't fidget or check your watch.  Nod when the other person makes a relevant point. Don't interrupt: Let the other person finish before asking “May I ask/add something?” You can, however, show that you are listening by nodding and making affirming noises, like "Uh-huh," or saying something like, "I see." Keep an open-mind: Don't let fear or bias guide your communication.  Demonstrate that you respect the other person, in spite of points on which you do not agree. Think carefully about what your non-verbal cues say to others. Non-verbal communication reinforces and accents what we are thinking and feeling. In order to appear confident in non-verbal communication, try to speak at a normal rate (not too fast or too slow), make frequent eye-contact (but don't stare, look away sometimes), avoid shaking your legs or fidgeting, and try to keep an open presentation (e.g. no arm crossing). Conflict, even between like-minded people, is inevitable, and when we are frustrated, it can be easy to say things and act in ways that reflect that frustration and not our values.  In order to resolve conflict constructively:  Avoid aggressive body language (such as pointing in someone's face, standing too close, rolling your eyes, etc.) or language. Ask questions and present views fairly. Refuse to name call or resort to character attacks. Always remind the other person that you respect his views and the right to have them.
