INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you already exercise, such as by going to a gym or taking walks, then you will probably be more likely to use an exercise machine at home; however, if you rarely exercise, then having an exercise machine at home may not change that.  Take an honest look at your current activity level to determine if you will actually use the machine. If you are currently sedentary, then you might want to develop an exercise program for yourself first. For example, you could start taking a 30-minute walk after dinner every night or do low-impact aerobics at home using a video. Try to work your way up to the recommended 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week. An easy way to break this up is to do 30 minutes of exercise five days a week. Advertisements for exercise machines may make some convincing claims about the product; however, it is important to remind yourself that these claims are meant to sell you the product and should not be considered guarantees. Some this to be wary of include:   Claims that the product is easy to use. Exercise is challenging no matter what. There is no easy, sweat-free way to get into shape.  Claims that the product will target one area. It is not possible to burn fat and lose weight in just one part of your body. Losing weight requires burning more calories and this will result in overall bodyweight reduction.  Before and after photos and testimonials. Avoid relying on these as your only proof that the product is effective. Read reviews to find out what people who have bought this machine have to say about it. Try to seek out reviews on sites that are not affiliated with the product, such as 3rd party online retail sites. Trying the machine before you buy it may be a good idea, especially if the machine is expensive. You might be able to try out the machine in a store, at a local gym, or at a community center. You might also ask about refund options for the machine. For example, can you return the machine if you are not satisfied with it? If so, how long do you have to return it? Will you get a full or partial refund? Even if a machine has a low-cost payment plan, exercise machines can cost thousands of dollars by the time it is paid for. You may also have an increased electricity bill from using the machine. Take some time to calculate the total cost of the machine you are thinking about buying. You might compare the cost of buying a machine with the cost of joining a gym. For example, if you will be paying $150 per month for the next two years to pay off a top of the line treadmill, and a gym membership costs only $40 per month, then you would save a lot of money by joining the gym.

SUMMARY: Consider your current activity level. Be wary of ads. Find out if you can try the machine before you buy. Calculate the price.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A way you can treat your leg acne is to use an acne prevention or treatment cleanser. An acne cleansing wash contains acne-fighting medication to help heal and prevent pimples.  You can find many acne body washes and soaps available to buy. If you cannot find one, you can try a wash for facial acne on your legs. Make sure the cleanser has benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or alpha hydroxy acids. If you have sensitive skin, use a 2.5% concentration of benzoyl peroxide or lower. Many creams and spot treatments are aimed to help prevent and treat acne. These creams are supposed to be used directly on the pimple, or smeared over the area with a high concentration of acne. Many of these creams and spot treatments have a higher concentration of medication.  Most creams or spot treatments will not be labeled for use on the legs; however, any acne product for the body can be used on your legs. Make sure the creams or spot treatments have benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or alpha hydroxy acids. Benzoyl peroxide is usually the most effective over-the-counter product for leg acne. If over-the-counter creams don't work, your doctor may prescribe stronger ointments, including antibiotic ointments. You can try acne creams, acne pads to wipe across on your legs, or other spot treatments. Most people will see a reduction of their leg acne within a few weeks. If you see no improvements in your leg acne within a few weeks, make an appointment with your dermatologist to explore other medications or approaches that may be needed.  Although this may seem slow, you can't rush the healing process. Trying to rush it may cause scarring or make your skin worse. Your dermatologist may prescribe stronger medication for you. Topical treatments include retinoids and antibiotics, while common oral treatments include antibiotics, oral contraceptives, an anti-androgen agent, and isotretinoin.
Summary: Use acne cleansers to prevent and heal acne. Try acne creams to treat acne. Visit your doctor if no treatment heals the acne.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Black is preferred to blue. Make sure you have pens that allow you to write neatly and legibly. A neat, clean application will be preferred to a messy one. You never get a second chance to make a first impression, as they say. Regardless of the job, managers are more likely to hire someone who looks professional. Also, you may end up getting an on-the-spot interview, so you want to look how you would when going in for a scheduled interview. It is always better, if possible, to take the application home so that you can take the time to fill it out neatly and have someone proofread your work. Employers sometimes include specific instructions on applications to see if applicants can follow directions appropriately. For instance, you may be asked to list information in a certain order. In describing jobs listed on your model application, emphasize the skills and experiences that are applicable to the job you are applying for.  For example, if you have worked as a cook and are now applying to be a sales associate, you might emphasize your work ethic and ability to multitask when describing your cooking job. You may want to get two copies of the application and fill out a practice one first, so that you can produce a clean draft after having used the first to craft your responses. If something is not applicable to you, make sure that you mark it as “Not Applicable” or “N/A.” Otherwise, your potential employer may think that you accidentally skipped the question. You don't want a hiring manager to think of you as someone who makes errors that should be easily avoided.  For checking bodies of text, reading backwards can catch spelling errors you'd miss by reading it normally. Make sure all information is accurate. You can be fired for presenting inaccurate information on your application.

SUMMARY:
Bring your own black pens. Dress in appropriate attire when asking for applications and when turning them in. Ask if you can take a blank application home. Read the application fully, including any special instructions. Use your model application as a template, but tailor your responses to the job. Complete every space on the application. Proofread everything that you have written.
