Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do your chores. Take initiative. Keep your room tidy. Use the internet and your phone responsibly. Take care of your siblings.

Answer: Think of the things that your dad is always asking you to do around the house. Think of the chores that are your responsibility. Be sure to do them. If you don’t like doing chores because you find them boring or difficult, ask your dad for tips on how to do them. Perhaps he can help you think of new ways of doing them.  Asking him for his advice will also show him that you value his opinion. Once your dad gives you advice, follow it. He might find it disrespectful if you ask how to do something then do something your own way. Don’t give your dad an opportunity to ask you why you haven’t done your chores. Stay on top of them by creating a schedule. Try setting a repeated alarm on your phone that lets you know when it’s time to do a certain chore, until you get into the habit of doing it on time. Notice things that need to be done around the house that no one has asked or expects you to do. Do it as a surprise for your dad. Try to think of things that have piled up for months that no one gets around to doing. Think of your dad’s routine. For example, if he likes to have a cup of coffee before going to work, make one for him from time to time. You’ll be showing him that you’re thoughtful. Be considerate of other people living in your home. Especially when using places like the living room and kitchen, don’t leave a mess behind for someone else to clean up. Messy rooms are a common complaint among parents. Even if you don’t share your room and it’s your space, show your dad that you can shoulder the responsibility of taking care of what’s yours by keeping it neat and tidy.  Keep your closet tidy by folding/hanging up your clothes. Put dirty clothes in the laundry basket. Make your bed in the mornings as soon as you’re up. If you want to decorate your room with things like posters, try to make sure that they are things that you would not be embarrassed about if your dad were to come into the room. This is especially important if your dad is the one paying for your phone bills and the internet connection. Access to the internet and your phone is a privilege, not your right. You have to show your dad that you respect the amount of money he’s paying for you and also the values he has taught you.  Discuss the boundaries of using electronics with your dad. Follow any guidelines he gives you such as how late you’re allowed to stay up using the computer or what sort of things you can post online. Avoid using electronics at the dinner table to show respect for your dad and the rest of your family. This will show that you care about your time together. Give your dad a peaceful, comfortable and warm environment to come home to. Try your hardest to get along with your siblings. Don’t bully your younger ones and don’t annoy your older ones. Help them with any homework they might not understand or any problem they might be going through. Do fun things together. If you are old enough to drive and have a car, offer to help your dad by taking your siblings where they need to go. It’s natural to fight occasionally with your siblings but try your hardest to get along with them.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Undergo electromyography (EMG) or nerve conduction tests. Consider an injection to numb nerves. Consider minor surgery. Engage in nerve “re-education” therapy.

Answer: These tests may  find the location of the nerve damage and its severity. Your doctor may also prescribe a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test. Some of these tests, like an EMG can be done at your general practitioners. However, more invasive tests like an MRI may be conducted at a specialist or a hospital. If your doctor determines that your nerve damage is not causing long-term damage, you may be a candidate for a numbing or steroid injection called a "nerve root block." Nerve root blocks are usually done by a trained anesthesiologist in pain therapy. Steroids can help your body heal more quickly from nerve damage. Some types of nerve damage occur from compression or pinching. Minor outpatient surgeries are often sufficient to repair this damage. Criteria for surgery include symptoms of radiculopathy,  evidence of nerve root compression on an MRI, persistent nerve pain last longer than six weeks, and progressive motor weakness.  Minor surgery can be an arthroscopic surgery to unblock the pinched nerve or sew the damaged ends of the nerves together.  Another minor surgery is a nerve release, which can help to fix nerve compression seen in nerve damage like carpal tunnel syndrome. These may create more room for the nerve by dividing tissue, or by moving the nerve to a new location. The nerves may need to be re-trained with this special type of physical therapy. This re-education therapy is generally completed in two stages: “early” and “late.” It is the process of “tuning” your nerves into feeling sensations normally.  The early stage of this therapy is making sure your nerves can feel a wide scope of sensations, while the late stage is fine tuning the sensations to manageable sensations.  This type of therapy is generally done in outpatient physical therapy. The length of the sessions depends on the severity of the injury. Generally, this procedure does take some time, as it is essentially “retraining” the body to return to a normal range of function.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Draw a cube.

Answer: The cube will be the basic frame for your three-dimensional house. To draw a cube, start by drawing a thin, horizontal rhombus. Then, draw a vertical line extending down off of the 3 lowest points on the rhombus. Finally, connect the end of the vertical line in the middle to the end of the 2 vertical lines next to it. The proportions of your cube don’t need to be exact, but make sure it’s not too short and narrow or tall and wide or your house might not look realistic.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sanitize the shell with boiling water if you found it outside. Set the shell down on its flattest side and mark the hole location. Twist the sharp point of your scissors into the mark. Continue twisting until the hole goes all the way through. Clear the hole by blowing away any dust. Repeat the process if you want the hole to be larger.

Answer:
If you picked up your shell at the beach, cleaning it before you start crafting with it will protect you from any germs or bacteria that might be lingering. To do this, boil a small pot of water on the stove and drop the shell in the boiling water. Let it sit for 5-6 minutes, then turn off the heat and remove it with a spoon.  Let the shell cool for 5-10 minutes before you start to drill. If you purchased your shell from a store or online, you don’t need to boil it. Set the shell down on a flat surface. Place it on whatever side feels the most stable to avoid cracking it when you start to drill. Then, decide where on the shell you want to make the hole and use a pencil to mark it with a light dot.  If you want your shell to hang down naturally, like on a chain for jewelry, place the hole near the top or base of the shell. If your design calls for the shell to be suspended in the middle, place the mark in the middle of the shell. Place a few layers of newspaper or an old placemat under the shell to protect the surface you’re drilling on. Open a pair of scissors and place one tip against the hole. Hold the shell firmly with your other hand and slowly twist the scissors down in to the shell, pressing down gently but firmly.  You may need to hold the scissors by the other blade instead of the by the handle. If this is the case, wear a thick glove to protect your hand. The size of the scissors will determine the size of the hole. If you want a smaller hole, use a thinner pair of scissors, or even nail scissors. For a larger hole, go with regular scissors. Twist the scissors blade around and continue pressing down until you break through to the other side. Draw back the scissors slowly and carefully and set them aside. Don’t continue pushing down once you break through; the blade widens quickly and the hole might crack. Gently blow on the hole to rid it of any dust you may have created. This will let you get a good look at the hole to make sure it’s the right size and in the correct location. You can also rinse the shell under water to clean it. If you need the hole to be bigger, insert your scissors again. Push them through a little farther and twist again, focusing on widening the hole. Measure the hole against the string, chain, or jump ring you plan on threading through. Make sure it’s wide enough before you put away your scissors.
