Article: Hair and soap often accumulate underneath the strainer, which is located in or over the drain. Though many strainers can be removed manually, some have screws that will need to be removed, too. Remove the screws with the proper screwdriver.  If you do not know which type of screwdriver to use, match the screwdriver to the screw head.  The size and shape of the screwdriver head should easily fit into the screw. Turn each screw surrounding the strainer until all are loose. Then, place the screws in a safe location while you unclog the drain. Some drains have tub stoppers instead of strainers, and these are also located in the drain. These are easier to remove because they are not held down with any screws. Simply remove the stopper by twisting and lifting it. A lot of gunk may have accumulated on the strainer or stopper over time. Clean any hair or soap scum; you may have to scrub the strainer and stopper depending on how dirty they are. When the drain stick is inserted deep enough, it will hit a drain trap, which is a curved part of the drain. Keep pushing the drain stick through this trap. The stick is flexible and will bend. The claw has many small interlocking hooks, so it will grab hair and allow you to pull gunk out. Clean the gunk off of the drain stick if you want to save it to use again in the future. Hair and soap can build up in as little as a few months, so having a drain stick often comes in handy. Water should now go down the drain properly. If this method did not work, try another method. If the drain claw worked, you can now replace your strainer or stopper. Strainers will need to be screwed back onto the top of the drain, whereas you can just place the stopper back in the drain.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Remove the strainer. Remove the stopper. Remove excessive gunk around the strainer and stopper. Insert the drain stick down the drain. Pull out the drain stick. Test the bathtub to see if it is unclogged. Replace the cover or stopper the same way that you removed it.
Article: Although a highlighter may be the first thing you reach for when taking notes in a book, it may not be the most effective option. There are two drawbacks with a highlighter: first, you may be tempted to highlight way too much text, and second, you can’t take notes or do other types of annotations with a highlighter. Try using a pencil, pen, or (the best choice) fine-tipped colored markers instead of (or maybe in addition to) your usual highlighter. One important benefit of using pencil is the ability to erase! Use pencil if you are prone to making mistakes or if you'd like to be able to remove your notations later. Rather than underlining an entire passage, aim to underline only the topic sentence of that paragraph. Not only will this make it more efficient for you to return to your notes, but taking the time to identify the topic sentence of a passage is an excellent way to learn and solidify what you know. Whenever you are trying to work through a text, it may be tempting to think that almost everything is important. One common mistake is for readers to highlight or underline very large volumes of text. Resist this urge, as it will only make it more difficult for you to return to your notes. Instead, underline only that which is most important, such as keywords, or crucial quotes. In order to make it easy for you to look back over your notes and gain quick understanding, you may want to use some kind of color-coding system. For example, you could use orange to indicate any new vocabulary words; blue to indicate a specific theme for an essay you are writing; and green to identify places where you have questions. So that you don't forget, make a key somewhere in the book or on a loose sheet of paper that's kept in the book. The key should clearly and concisely state what each color means. An important aspect of reading is expanding your vocabulary. Anytime you encounter a word that you’re not familiar with, circle it (perhaps using a specific color pen), and find out what it means. You may even want to write down a brief definition in the margin. Another way to limit the volume of notations you make in your book is to avoid marking things that you already know. Even if it is central to the overall point that the author is making, if you encounter a concept or idea that you already have a firm grasp on, don’t bother marking it.

Article: Along with your ingredients, there are a few kitchen tools and supplies you'll need to make this simple lentil dish. The most important items are:  Medium bowl Fine-mesh sieve Medium saucepan Stirring spoon Place the lentils into a medium bowl and fill it with enough water to cover the lentils. Use your hand to comb through the lentils. Pick out any organic debris or other matter that you find. When you’ve gone through the batch, drain the lentils through the sieve. While uncommon, there are sometimes pebbles or small stones hiding in lentils that can hurt or break teeth. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and bay leaf. Add enough water to cover the lentils by about three inches (7.6 cm). To add extra flavor and depth to the lentils, you can also add other ingredients, such as:  Herbs Spices Garlic Minced onions Put the lid on the pot and heat the lentils over medium-high heat. Bring the water to a simmer, and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Remove the lid and cook the lentils for about 25 minutes. Add more water as necessary to ensure the lentils stay covered. The lentils are ready when they are tender, and when there's no crunchiness left when you bite into them. When the lentils are tender, remove the pot from the heat. Drain the water by pouring the lentils into the sieve. Return the lentils to the pot and add the salt. Stir to coat the lentils before serving. You can also garnish the lentils with other herbs and spices, such as pepper, rosemary, thyme, and sage.
