In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Silk flowers cannot be dyed using fabric dye, because the fabric cannot be boiled. Although you can attempt using food coloring, it will likely rinse off the fabric because it is not permanent. The most success has come from dying silk flowers with acrylic paint. Therefore, you will need a tube of acrylic paint in a color of your choice, a container of gel medium, and water. Work through all your flowers, dying them using the aforementioned methods. After they have dried for about 3 hours, remove any painters tape you might have applied.
Summary: Gather your supplies. Repeat the process.

By sitting in the front, you will be able to see and hear your teacher better. This way, you can pick up on your teacher’s verbal and visual cues that communicate which parts of the lecture material are the most important.  Additionally, try sitting in the same seat every time. Sitting in the same seat may help trigger your memory on exam days. Get to class five minutes early so you can find a seat near the front. You may be surprised to see how fast these seats fill up. Make sure to put away any distractions like phones, computers, iPads and other electronic devices. If you have to, put your phone on silent or turn it off. This way, you can give your teacher and the class material your full attention. Additionally, try to avoid sitting near people who do not pay attention during class since this can be distracting as well. Make an outline, type your notes on a computer, draw diagrams, or record the lecture (if it is allowed). Also, don’t write down everything the teacher says. Instead, write down keywords, short sentences of the main ideas, and examples the teacher uses to explain difficult concepts.  Additionally, write your notes in your own words by rephrasing what your teacher says when they pause. This will help you remember important concepts better on test day. Abbreviate words so you can take faster notes, and try to use them consistently so you won’t get confused. Whenever you don’t understand a concept, or the teacher says something that is not clear, ask questions to clear up your confusion. Ask the teacher to use a different example or to explain the concept differently. You can also ask clarifying questions about your notes.  For example, “Mr. Roberts, in my notes it says that a well-structured essay contains at least five components—an introduction, three supporting paragraphs and a conclusion. Is this correct, or am I missing anything important?” If your teacher talks fast, don’t be afraid to ask them to slow down or repeat what they just said.

One-sentence summary -- Sit near the front, within the first three rows. Minimize distractions. Come up with a note-taking system that works for you. Ask questions.

Problem: Article: Depending on how much plywood you have left over, you might decide to fashion a set of simple stiles and rails to give your door some added depth. If your main door panel is 80 inches (200 cm) tall and 25 inches (64 cm) wide, you should have enough material left over for about 4 80 in (200 cm) x 4.5 in (11 cm) sections and 6 16 in (41 cm) x 4.5 in (11 cm) sections. Keep in mind that you’ll need to put stiles and rails on both sides of the door. Consider buying a second, smaller sheet of plywood to make sure you’ll have enough and account for possible waste. Apply 2-3 stripes of adhesive down the length of both sides of the panel. Then, line up an 80 in (200 cm) x 4.5 in (11 cm) strip over either edge and press them down into the glue. Keep steady pressure on the stile pieces for 3-5 minutes, or until the adhesive has set enough to hold them in place.  It may help to clamp the stiles to the door panel using a vice or a pair of table clamps. Not only will this keep pressure on the plywood pieces while the adhesive sets, it will also leave you with both hands free. Once the adhesive has set completely, turn the panel over and attach the 2 remaining stile pieces to the opposite side. These sections will serve as your rails. Once you’ve cut them, they’ll fit right between the stiles, which should be exactly 16 inches (41 cm) apart. Measure and cut each of your rails separately to make sure they all come out the same size. Apply 1-2 lines of glue on the backside of each of your rail pieces and position them in between the stiles at the top, bottom, and center of the door. Clamp one set of rails at a time before moving onto the next set. Remember, you’ll need to do this on both sides of the door.  To make sure your center rail is situated correctly, draw a line widthwise through the midpoint of the panel, or the 40 in (100 cm) mark, and use it as a reference when setting and gluing the rail. Use a heavy object with a flat bottom to serve as a makeshift clamp and maintain pressure on the center rails. If you want to give your door a more polished look, purchase a few feet of wooden moulding in your preferred style and cut it to fit along the inner edges of the panel where the stiles and rails meet. In total, you’ll need 8 33.25 in (84.5 cm) pieces and 8 16 in (41 cm) pieces (4 for each side of the door). Glue these beside the stiles and rails.  Saw the end of each section of trim at a 45-degree angle. That way, all of the pieces will fit together easily with no need to adjust their length. You can also use 1.25 in (3.2 cm) finishing nails in addition to your construction adhesive to provide added security.
Summary:
Cut your remaining plywood into 4–4.5 inches (10–11 cm) strips. Attach the stiles to the edges of the panel using construction adhesive. Saw your remaining plywood strips into 6 16 in (41 cm) sections. Glue the rails into place on the door panel. Add decorative trim to give your door more visual appeal (optional).
