Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Combine the sugar, butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add the egg yolk and the extracts to the bowl and beat them for another 30 seconds. Whisk together the flour and kosher salt in a separate bowl. Add 1 cup of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat it at low speed until the dry ingredients are just incorporated. Continue adding the dry ingredients in 1-cup increments and mixing until they are well combined. Cover the mixing bowl that contains the dough with plastic wrap. Place the dough into the refrigerator and chill it for 8 hours or overnight.

Answer: Beat the ingredients with either a handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Set your mixer at medium speed and beat until the ingredients are light and fluffy.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add a broken ceramic pot. Place some sanitized shells on the substrate. Make coconut caves. Lay down a moss pit. Install a shower container with suction cups.

Answer: Your hermit crab will need lots of places to hide. One of these hiding spots could be a broken ceramic pot, which you could pick up from a garden center or a pet store.  You should disinfect it first with a mixture of two parts dechlorinated water and one part hydrogen peroxide.  Since hermit crabs are scavengers, they may hide food between little cracks in your decorations. Be aware that this can cause mold. Sweep through the substrate every few days to check for buried food. To allow your hermit crab to move to a new shell, you should add three large shells. Hermit crabs love housing options. Each shell should be a bit larger than the crab’s current shell. Start by opening up a coconut. Put a screwdriver on the indentation of the coconut. Using a hammer, bang the screwdriver into the coconut and pry it open so that you have two halves. Use a spoon to take out the meat, which you can feed to your crabs. Leave it in dechlorinated saltwater for twenty-four hours, and then dry it out in the oven. Place the two halves of the coconut in your tank. For dehydration, you can bake it at 200 Fahrenheit (93 Celsius) for 30 minutes. Pick up some moss from the pet store. Sprinkle it across the substrate. Put a bunch into a plastic shower container to create a little moss pit.  If you prefer, you could also add a little bit of substrate to the bottom of the container. Then, fill it up with some moss for a little play area. Don’t use craft moss or any dyed mosses. You can get some shower containers, such as the kind used to store soap in a shower. If the container doesn’t come with suction cups, you can pick some up from the dollar store. Install the shower container on the side of the tank for a higher hiding place.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Spend some extra time on your homework. Turn your work in on time. Ask about making up missed assignments. Ask to re-do old assignments. Prioritize.

Answer: If you have been getting poor grades on homework assignments, it's time to up your game and put a little more effort into them. Even if each assignment is not worth that much, your cumulative grade for homework can be a big chunk of your final grade.  Be sure you understand what you are supposed to do before you leave class. If you have any questions about how to complete the homework assignment, ask your teacher for clarification. Always read the directions (or listen to them) and follow them precisely. Don't be lazy and write fewer words than were asked of you or neglect to show your work. Always write down when each assignment is due and hand it in on time. There's nothing worse than getting points off for handing in an assignment late because you forgot that it was due!  If keeping track of your assignments in a planner or a digital calendar helps keep you organized, then be sure to record all of your homework assignments there. Try planning out a specific time to complete each assignment, and be sure to take other obligations into consideration. For example, if you know that you have a basketball game on Thursday and will only have one hour to work on homework, don't put off any assignments until Thursday that can be completed on Wednesday. If you missed any assignments because you were absent or because you simply didn't do them, ask your teacher if you can hand them in late. While you may only get partial credit for make-up work, it's definitely better than having a zero for that assignment. Ask about the possibility of making up in-class assignments that you missed as well as homework. Offer to come to the classroom during lunchtime or a free period to work on them. Try asking your teacher to revise an essay, re-take a test, or re-do a project that you got a bad grade on.  You could suggest that the teacher could replace the grade or average the two grades together. Your teacher may be willing to let you do this if you seem committed to bringing your grade up. Try to focus on substantive assignments that have a bigger impact on your overall grade rather than smaller assignments such as homework that may not make as big of a difference. While you may want to do whatever you can to improve a specific grade, it's important to be smart about it. Do not bring up one grade at the expense of another, whether it's for the same class or another one.  Focus the majority of your energy on the assignments that will earn you the most points. For example, if your final project is worth 50% of your grade and your homework assignments are worth 10%, spend more time studying for the final than working on your homework. This does not mean you should not do your other work, but simply that you should not spend as much time on it.  Never neglect a current assignment in favor of make-up work unless you are sure that you will earn more points for it. Don't neglect your other classes either. You shouldn't end up with a bad grade in one class because you were focusing all of your energy on trying to improve your grade in another. This will have a negative effect on your overall GPA.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid using introductory phrases like “in conclusion. Model your conclusion based on your introduction. Include all of your points in your summary, rather than focusing on one. Make sure you don’t introduce any new information. Proofread

Answer:
” It’s tempting to start off your conclusion this way, but it’s a big turn off to readers when you use cliches like this. You don’t need to use any special words to begin your conclusion.  If you want to use an introductory phrase, use a stronger one like “based on the evidence” or “ultimately.” You might also begin your first sentence with a word like “although,” “while,” or “since.”  Additionally, avoid “to conclude,” “in summary,” or “in closing.” Your conclusion will be different from your introduction, but they will share certain features. For example, you’ll end your introduction with your thesis statement and begin your conclusion by revisiting that thesis. Additionally, your conclusion can refer back to the ideas and information you presented in your introduction, which brings your paper full-circle. For example, you may have opened your introduction with an anecdote, quote, or image. Bring it back up in your conclusion. Similarly, if you opened with a rhetorical question, you might offer a potential answer in your conclusion. You might make the common mistake of only discussing your most persuasive point or the last point you made. However, this can undermine your argument as a whole. It’s better to provide an overview of how your points come together to support your ideas than to give your reader a thorough review of your strongest point. For example, you wouldn’t want to end your essay about allowing students to use the library during lunch by stating, “As the evidence shows, using the library at lunch is a great way to improve student performance because they are more likely to do their homework. On a survey, students reported using the library to do research, ask homework questions, and finish their assignments early.” This leaves out your points about students reading more and having a place to spend their lunch period if they don’t like eating in the cafeteria. Conclusions are tricky because you don’t want to simply repeat yourself, but you also shouldn't say anything new. Read over what you’ve written to check that you haven’t introduced a new point, added new evidence, or tacked on extra information. Everything in your conclusion must be discussed in the introduction or body of your paper. If you have introduced something you think is really important for your paper, go back through the body paragraphs and look for somewhere to add it. It’s better to leave it out of the paper than to include it in the conclusion. and revise your conclusion before turning in your paper. Set aside your paper for at least a few hours. Then, re-read what you’ve written. Look for typos, misspelled words, incorrectly used words, and other errors. Additionally, check that what you’ve written makes sense and accurately reflects your paper.  If something doesn’t make sense or your conclusion seems incomplete, revise your conclusion so that your ideas are clear. It’s helpful to read your entire paper as a whole to make sure it all comes together.
