Summarize the following:
With a cleaning brush or paper towel, brush away any loose debris. Don’t worry too much about scraping caked on food and grime. Clean the top of the stove using a stovetop cleaner or soapy water. With a clean rag or sponge, scrub the surface. Pay close attention to caked on food and grime. Don’t forget to scrub the knobs and face. Spray some cleaner on tough spots and let it soak for five minutes before scrubbing. This will help to loosen the grime. Use a toothbrush to get into the crooks where the burners and caps sit. These areas can be tough to reach with a rag. Then wipe the area clean with a rag. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to dry the stove’s surface. Drying the stove’s surface will prevent streaking and make your stove’s surface shine.

summary: Brush away loose debris. Scrub the stovetop. Clean around the burners. Dry the stove.


Summarize the following:
Take your vehicle to an empty parking lot. Press the gas a little but don’t touch the steering wheel. Watch the logo in the center of your steering wheel. If the wheel turns more than 5- to 10-degrees over 40–50 feet (12–15 m), you may have an alignment issue. If it turns in the same direction when driving back and forth across the lot, it’s even more likely that you need an alignment. Unless you’re driving over a perfectly flat surface, the wheel will naturally turn a little due to the angle of the road. If the wheel turns the same direction when you’re driving back and forth over the same strip, it’s a sign that the alignment is particularly bad since the wheel is ignoring the natural angle of the road and always pulling in the same direction. If there are hash marks on the tire or the tread looks fine but your vehicle is still tilting when you drive, your caster may be misaligned. The caster refers to the steering axis of the wheel as it lines up with your suspension. If the caster is positive or negative, it can throw your alignment off. This issue is also fixed on an alignment rack, although the mechanic will need to adjust the suspension in your vehicle.If it feels like your alignment is randomly thrown off when you turn, it’s probably a misaligned caster pulling the vehicle in an odd direction.

summary: Try letting go of the steering wheel in an empty lot to see if it turns. Check the tread for hash marks or even wear to find issues with the caster.


Summarize the following:
Your friend may or may not be aware that he or she is insecure. Let your friend know that you have noticed. This can encourage your friend to open up to you and share their feelings.  You may say, “Hey, I noticed you were really hard on yourself when you got your report card back. Are you alright?” or “You seemed upset when we were shopping for clothes the other day. Is everything okay?” If your friend is not aware of their insecurity, this may bring it to their attention. When your friend is talking, you may feel the urge to give advice, offer a solution, or judge. Because your friend is insecure, it may be difficult for them to share their feelings. You want your friend to feel comfortable speaking to you and know that you are not going to criticize.  Make eye contact and give your friend your full attention. Don't look through your phone or do anything else that will distract you. Use neutral statements and nodding to show you are listening. Try saying things like, “uh-huh,” “yes,” and “I see” to demonstrate that you are paying attention. You can also nod your head as you listen. Try asking questions to show that you are listening and clarify what your friend means. For example, you might say something like, “So you're saying that you don't like to eat around other people because it makes you feel like they are judging you?”  Being a good listener also tells your friend that you value their opinions and feelings and that they are important to you. You don't need to solve your friend's problems. You're offering a lot of help just by listening. Instead of telling your friend your opinion, ask if there is anything you can do to help. Are you willing to look up information on the internet for your friend? Can you help your friend pick out some new clothes or explore a new hobby?  For example, if your friend says that he or she is severely depressed, then you might offer to help your friend find a counselor. You may say, “I noticed that you ___. I want to help you. Is there anything that I can do?”
summary: Discuss the subject. Listen to your friend. Ask how you can help.
