Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Suggest losing weight through diet and exercise. Suggest no eating or drinking of alcohol several hours before bed. Recommend daily throat exercises to reduce snoring.

Answer: If the person who snores is overweight or has weight issues, they may want to consider losing weight with a healthy, balanced diet and daily exercise. Excess weight can add more tissue around the neck area and lead to restricted airways, causing louder and more persistent snoring. Drinking alcohol a few hours before bed can cause airways to relax and vibrate when sleeping, leading to snoring. As well, a heavy meal before bedtime can cause a restless sleep, full of snoring and shifting or moving around in bed. Throat exercises can strengthen the muscles of their upper respiratory tract and help to reduce or eliminate snoring. Suggest they try to do throat exercises on a daily basis, starting with 1 to 2 sets and then increasing the number of sets over time. Advise them to combine the exercises with other activities like driving to work, while doing housework, or while walking the dog. To do throat exercises:  Repeat each vowel (a-e-i-o-u) out loud for 3 minutes several times a day. Put the tip of the tongue behind the top front teeth. Then, slide the tongue backward 3 minutes a day. Close the mouth and purse the lips. Hold this for 30 seconds. Open the mouth and move the jaw to the right. Hold this for 30 seconds. Do the same on the left side. Open the mouth and contract the muscles at the back of the throat several times for 30 seconds. Look in the mirror to confirm the uvula (the hanging ball in the back of the throat) moves up and down.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Leave the area if you see a nest or an insect. Stand still if you notice a bee or wasp flying around you. Run away quickly if you accidentally disturb a nest. Find an enclosed shelter to get away from the insects.

Answer: You may accidentally sneak up on a nest without the bees or wasps noticing. If the insects aren’t swarming, you still have time to get away quickly without being stung. Many bees create ground nests that can be hard to spot. If you see 2 or more bees crawling underground, they are most likely headed to a nest. Your instinct may be to yell or run, but this could make the insect more angry. Swatting or hitting at a bee or wasp will also make them more likely to sting you. Try to ignore your impulses and stand still. Cover your face with whatever you have handy and don’t stop running until you can’t hear the buzzing of the insects anymore. You may have to run as far as 1/4 of a mile before the insects get tired and stop chasing you. A car or a home are ideal spots to run to, since they can be made airtight by shutting any doors or windows. Make sure the insects don’t follow you into your shelter when you open the door so that they can’t sting you. Never head to a body of water to get away from bees or wasps. They will probably wait above the surface of the water for you to come up and then sting your head and face.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a list of what school materials you need. Plan out what to take in your bag. Use every part of your backpack.

Answer:
Before every school year, your school should provide you with a list of the items you need for your grade. If you don’t receive one of these before the school year begins, you can usually find them at supply stores like Office Max or Staples. The most common items for middle school include pens, #2 pencils, notebooks, wide-rule loose leaf paper, a 3 ring binder, and scissors and tape. Other materials you may need include a USB flash drive, a TI calculator, index cards, a weekly planner, and a stapler. You don’t want to overload your backpack, so try to take only the essentials when you can. For example, having one binder separated into multiple subjects will help save you space compared to multiple folders. You should also try to take two pencils and two to three pens, as well as a highlighter, and your weekly planner. This way, the rest of your space can be dedicated to textbooks and notebooks.  You’ll have a better idea of exactly what you’ll need day-to-day after the first week of class. If you have money for lunch, try to keep it zipped up in an inside pocket. If you don't have one in your bag, try to keep it in a change purse or wallet instead. This will help keep your money safe and together, so you aren't searching all over for it during lunch time. If you have a block schedule with different classes on different days, try separating your materials into marked piles. For example, you can mark everything for one day with a specific color like red, while the other day is blue. Then you can switch them out of your backpack when necessary. Now is the moment of truth; you want to make sure you can fit everything in your backpack and still be able to carry it. Chances are you’ll have a locker you can store some things in, but you still need to be able to take everything to and from school each day. Put your binder, notebooks, textbooks, and pencil case in the main part of the bag - in that order. You should then put any extra materials into the front pockets.  For example, your calculator, tape, stapler, even markers, and highlighters if they won’t fit in your pencil case can go in your front pockets. The front pockets of your backpack are also a great place to keep items like chapstick, tissues, mints, or anything else you want to carry with you.
