Fold your fabric in half, right sides together. Trace your pattern into the fabric, using a fitted skirt as a base. Consider adding a V-shape to the bottom hem. Pin and cut the fabric. Try the skirt on and adjust the width. Sew or glue the side edges down. Consider adding a V-shaped notch into the front of the waist. Hem the top and bottom edges of the skirt. Consider painting scales onto the fabric with glitter glue.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Choose shiny, stretchy fabric to use as your tail; you can find lots of great options in the dance-wear section of the fabric store. It would be best if your fabric already has a scale print on it, but you can use a solid-colored fabric instead.  If you choose fabric with scales on it, make sure that the scales run down the fold, not across it. Green is a popular mermaid color, but you can make your tail any color you want. For example, if you want to be a tropical mermaid, orange would be a great choice. Place a fitted skirt on top of the fabric so that the top edges match up. Trace around the sides of the skirt with a dressmaker's chalk or pen, adding a ½-inch (1.27-centimeter) seam allowance. When you get to the bottom of the skirt, extend the side edges downward to where your knees would be. Don't taper the bottom of the tail just yet.  If your fabric has scales on it, make sure that they are pointing downward. If you don't have a fitted skirt, you can use a pair of leggings or skinny jeans instead. You can also lay down on the fabric, trace around your waist and hips, sit up, then trace around your thighs. Add a few inches/centimeters), otherwise the skirt will be too small. Find the center of the hem, then make a dot down where the mid-calf would be. Connect the dot to the left and right edges of the hem. Use a ruler or a straight edge to ensure that the lines are straight. If you choose not to do this, draw a horizontal line straight across the bottom hem of the skirt. Pin the fabric together with sewing pins first, then cut it out. The pins will keep the fabric from slipping when you cut it. Leave the sewing pins in place. If you added a V shaped hem, do not pin the slanted sides of the V. Step into the skirt and pull it up to where you'd like it to sit. The material around the legs may be loose. If you'd like it to be more form fitting, take the pins out and pin the skirt tighter. Take the skirt off when you are done.  If you made the skirt tighter, take a few steps to ensure that you can still walk...


Fold your letter. Address the letter. Place the letter in the mailbox.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You want to fold your letter, if it is on standard-sized paper, into even thirds. Once you fold your letter, slip it into your envelope.  Seal the envelope by licking it or using a sponge to wet the seal. You can also place a sticker or a piece of decorate tape over the front flap of the envelope for extra security and decoration. This is how the post office knows where to send the letter. First, write your best friend’s ful name on the back middle of the envelope.  If you don’t plan to mail the letter, you can simply write the name. If you do want to mail the letter, write the street number and name on the line underneath the name. On the next line, write the city, state, and zip code. In the top left hand corner, write your own name and address. Then stick a stamp in the top right corner of the envelope. When you put the letter in the mailbox, put the mailbox flag in the upright position so that your postman knows that you want something delivered.  You can also take it to the post office, instead of placing it in your own mailbox. This will decrease the time it takes for your letter to get to your best friend. If you include anything extra in your letter that makes it heavier, it is a good idea to take it to the post office to make sure you use enough postage.


Fold your napkin downward in half. Fold the top right corner downward. Take the bottom right corner with your hand. Fold the top left corner downward. Lift the bottom flap upwards. Separate the bottom folds.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Start with the napkin facing you in the square position.  Make sure that your napkin is open and flat before you begin your fold.  Apply pressure with your hand if you would like a more crisp look to your sailboat.  A tight fold will also allow the use of more fabric in your sailboat. Make sure when you make this fold, the open edges are towards your body.  Pull the corner all the way down until it is about one inch from the bottom edge.  This should create a right angle.  Apply pressure to the fold with your hand for a more crisp look. Fold it all the way to the left.  Make sure the corner of the flap is flush, and even, with the corner you press it against.  Press your hand against the fold to create a crisp crease. Pull the corner from left to right.  Make sure the edge lines up nice and smooth.  Crease the fold with your hand.  If the fabric becomes too thick to crease, use a heavy object like a paperweight to make the fold.  If you prefer a more "fluid" sail, don't crease the fold.  There should be 1/2-1 inch of excess fabric left at the bottom of your napkin, after you complete this fold. You will want to make sure that you fold it upwards at least 2 inches (5.1 cm).  This flap will form the boat in your sailboat.  Adjust this fold upwards or downwards if you want a smaller or larger boat. There are two major folds of fabric, both of which have been lifted up 2 inches (5.1 cm).  The flap away from the "sail" you want to separate away from the flap closest to the "sail."  Use your thumb and fold one of the flaps upwards.  Take the other flap and fold it backwards.  Smooth out the edges of the flaps and you now have a napkin wind-drawn sailboat.


Fold your scarf in half lengthwise. Drape the scarf over your forehead. Pull back the tails and cross them at your nape. Drape the right side of the scarf across your forehead. Cross the tails over your left ear. Wrap the left side of the scarf across your forehead and towards the back. Tuck the end under the hem at your nape. Adjust the pleats, and create more pleats as needed. Tuck in any loose ends, then pull the gele back a little.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Just about any scarf will wok for a gele. It needs to be long enough so that you can drape it over your head, then hold each end in each hand, with your arms outstretched. Make sure that the folded edge is covering your hairline. The scarf should be centered, with equal amounts hanging off to either side. Take the left and right ends of the scarf, and pull them back behind your neck. Cross the left side over the right. Hold both ends taut so that the fabric is nice and snug across your forehead. Angle the left and right sides so that they cover both of your ears down to the earlobes. Position the fabric so that the new side edge is just behind the previous edge. Don't worry if your fabric wrinkles—this is actually a good thing! Pull the right side of the scarf down towards your left ear, and hold it in place. Pull the left end of the scarf upwards so that it covers the right. Again, position the fabric so that the new edge is just behind the previous one, thus creating more pleats. If you tied your gele tight enough, you should be able to slip the end of your scarf right under the hem, and not worry about it slipping. If your scarf had a fringe, be sure to tuck all the tassels in. Adjust the folds and "pleats" across your forehead first. Next, use your fingers to sharpen the creases in the top layers of fabric to create more pleats. There is not specific rule as to how many pleats you should do—just go with what you think looks nice! Check your gele in the mirror at various angles. If you spot any corners that are hanging out, tuck them unde the band of the gele. Finally, pull the gele back so that it rests right at your hairline.


Fold your scarf into a triangle.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

For a back of the head scarf bun, you’ll need a large square-shaped scarf. Create a triangle with the fabric by folding the scarf from one corner to the opposite corner. Depending on how large your scarf is, you may want to fold it smaller before creating the triangle. It should be just large enough to cover your entire head when you place the straight edge against your hairline.


Follow Christ's example. Give out of love rather than duty. Love the people in your life. Consider new responsibilities carefully. Treasure the present moment.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Aside from offering hope and salvation to humanity, Jesus also gave the human race a perfect example of the sort of life one should lead in order to please God. If you want to know what a life that pleases God looks like, you don't need to look any further than the example Jesus gives.  Study the teachings of Jesus and use them to guide your own actions. Even though you will fall short of the perfection evident in Christ's actions and words, merely seeking to follow His example is pleasing to God. It's true that God wants you to support and give to others, but you need to cultivate an attitude of love and true charity if those gifts will have any pleasing, spiritual significance. The next time you give a donation or tithe, meditate on the specific needs your gift will help fulfill. When you feel as though you are part of a solution, you may find it easier to give out of love and joy. Even when you don't feel love for those around you, you should act in love towards them. You need to love people who are both easy and difficult to handle. Acting in love can be as simple as respecting someone you don't get along with or as complex as meeting a need someone has regardless of whether you like that person or not. God takes pleasure in a generous heart, but that doesn't mean you should accept every responsibility presented to you.  Consider the potential responsibility carefully. Ask yourself if it could cause stress, failure, or guilt. Most importantly, ask if accepting it will lead you closer to or further away from God. Even if you want to do good by accepting the responsibility, the wrong responsibility accepted during the wrong season of your life can ultimately produce negative consequences, including a weakened relationship with God. Don't live in constant regret of the past or fear of the future. Treat each day as the gift from God that it truly is. Each day is another opportunity to grow in faith and understanding. You'll please God simply in seeking Him day by day.


Follow S, M, L, XL for size. Understand written terms and abbreviations. Understand the meaning of symbols. Follow the instructions for one row at a time.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Pay attention to the size differences if a pattern provides them. Instructions will generally be listed with the smallest size first and the others in parentheses in this format: S (M, L, XL).  For example, if a pattern tells you to cast on 10 (12, 14, 16) stitches to begin and you want to make a size Large, you would choose 14 stitches to cast on.  Note the dimensions that the pattern provides for the completed size. The right size for you will likely differ from the typical size you would buy in a store. It is useful to use a highlighter to mark the corresponding numbers for the size you choose to knit throughout the entire pattern before you begin. This makes it much easier to follow the instructions according to your size. The size of the finished item is sometimes stated as the size "after blocking."  Blocking is a technique of shaping fabric, usually after washing.  For instance, many sweaters are blocked by laying them out and patting them into place while they are still damp, then leaving them to dry. Follow the meanings for these phrases when they appear:   As established: Continue to knit the center part of a pattern that you have already set up (the pattern may call for adding or subtracting stitches at either end of the center pattern).  BO: Bind off (aka cast off) to finish your knitted piece.  CO: Cast on to begin knitting the pattern with a certain number of stitches.  Dec: Decrease, or eliminate one or more stitches by working two stitches together as one, or another method that your pattern will specify.  Inc: Increase, or add one or more stitches by working the front and then the back of the same stitch, or another method that your pattern will specify.  K: Knit a knit stitch.  P: Knit a purl stitch.  Rep: Repeat the preceding instruction the given number of times.  RS: Right side, meaning the outside or side that people will see when the item is worn.  Sl: Slip one or more stitches from one needle to the other.  Sts: Stitches.  Tog: Work two or more stitches together.  Work even: Continue...

Follow a halogen oven recipe as written. Note the general recommended cooking times and temperatures. Adjust the baking temperature when using a non-halogen recipe.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you are following a recipe specifically designed for use with a halogen oven, you can follow the preparation guidelines, temperature setting, and baking time exactly as instructed. For non-halogen recipes, you will need to alter the baking times and temperatures. Follow either the general recommended cooking specifications based on the type of baked good, or alter the specifications mentioned in the recipe based on the alteration guidelines. While each recipe can be different, there are a few guidelines to consider when baking certain types of food in a halogen oven.  Brownies: 18 to 20 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) Buns: 10 to 12 minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) Layer cakes: 18 to 20 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) Loaf cakes: 30 to 35 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) Cornbread: 18 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) Drop cookies: 8 to 20 minutes at 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius) Rolled cookies: 10 to 12 minutes at 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius) Muffins: 12 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius, 150 if you have a strong halogen) Pastries and pie crust: 8 to 10 minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) Pies with filling and no top crust: 25 to 30 minutes at 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius) Pies with filling and two crusts: 35 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) Bread rolls: 12 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) Bread loaves: 25 to 30 minutes at 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius) When adapting a non-halogen recipe for use in a halogen oven, lower the cooking temperature. If baked according to the original instructions, the outside will likely burn while the center may remain partially uncooked.  For cake recipes, lower the temperature by 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius). For all other recipes, you will usually need to lower the temperature...


Follow a healthy, balanced diet Get eight to nine hours of sleep a night. Stay physically fit. Focus on building positive relationships with others.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

. A big part of positive living is doing self-care through what you consume every day. Follow a healthy diet that includes lots of home cooked meals and healthy portion sizes, with at least three meals a day. You should consume a healthy balance of protein, grains, vegetables, fruits, and dairy every day, three times a day at close to the same time every day. You should also drink lots of water throughout the day so you stay hydrated, especially if you have a physically active lifestyle. Avoid sugary drinks like soda and carbonated drinks. A full night’s rest will ensure you are not exhausted the next day and in a negative frame of mind. Get ready for bed by following a strict sleep schedule and by ensuring your bedroom is set up to help you get to sleep. Try to exercise at least three times a week on a consistent basis to up your endorphins and give your body a healthy stress release. Commit to a workout class one to two times a week or a running schedule where you work out at the same time every day. Working out will help you to feel positive about yourself and positive about others around you. Pursue relationships with people who make you smile or laugh out loud, rather than individuals that make you feel depressed and lonely. You should try to create social situations where you feel welcomed and supported by everyone around you. Building new relationships with positive individuals or strengthening your existing relationships with positive people will help you let go of the negative.


Follow a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout to promote weight loss. Focus on core-strengthening exercises to tighten your abs. Tone your arms Strengthen your glutes Walk and take the stairs to burn calories and tone your legs.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

HIIT workouts involve short boosts of cardio activity followed by short rest periods. Warm-up for about 5 minutes by giving your workout about 20 to 30% of your effort. Increase the intensity of your activity so you’re giving about 80 to 90% of your effort for a full minute. Then, drop down to about 50% of your effort for 2 minutes. Alternate between doing 1 minute of high intensity and 2 minutes of moderate-intensity for about 30 minutes before cooling down.  You can easily do a HIIT workout on the treadmill or using just your body weight. Look online or speak with a fitness coach to find some HIIT ideas that you could try. While you don’t need 6-pack abs to have a great beach body, you can work on toning your core with some simple exercises. Do a few minutes of crunches, bicycles, and planks every day and you’ll start to notice the results. Mix things up with leg lifts and flutter kicks while you lay on the ground.  While these are easy to do at home, you can also sign up for a fitness class focused on core strengthening if you prefer a group fitness environment.  Modify some of these exercises to tone your obliques as well. by lifting weights and doing resistance exercises. Pick 3 or 4 exercises that target the muscle groups in your arms that you want to tone, and practice them every day. Try push-ups, pull-ups, or bench dips, which involve positioning your arms behind you on a bench. With your body in a floating seated position, you’ll raise and lower your body up and down to work your triceps. Alternatively, use hand weights to do bicep curls or arm circles. For guys, consider working out your pectorals as well as your arms by doing bench presses. by running or doing with squats and lunges. Every day, do repetitions of regular squats, jump squats, lunges, leg raises, bridges, and other glute-busting exercises to tighten your muscles. If you prefer, use a treadmill or go for a run on an incline to work out that area. Go for a bike ride or take yoga classes to work out your glutes and other leg muscles....


Follow a regular cleaning routine to maintain your hardwood floors. Polish your floor Use window coverings to protect your floors from heat and UV rays. Refinish the surface every three to five years.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Regular cleaning is the most effective thing you can do to keep your hardwood floors looking great and damage-free. Create a cleaning routine and stick to it. For best results, dust every day with a micro-fiber cloth. Vacuum biweekly with a soft-bristled floor-brush attachment. Damp-mop once per month with a hardwood floor cleaner. every two to three months if it has a surface finish. Most hardwood floors have polyurethane surface finishes. These finishes seal and protect the wood underneath and give your floor a glossy shine. Normal wear and tear will eventually leave visible scratches and make the surface dull. Polishing periodically with a buffing pad can renew and refresh its appearance by restoring shine, buffing away microscopic scratches and evening out the floor’s surface.  Check the manufacturer's recommendations for polishing products and follow the instructions exactly. Never use wax on a floor with a urethane or other glossy finish. Direct sunlight can discolor hardwood. Use protective window coverings, such as curtains and blinds, to block UV rays and protect the wood from excessive heat. If left uncovered and exposed to direct sunlight, most wood types will gradually begin to age and fade. Rearrange rugs and furniture regularly so the wood’s appearance will age evenly. If your floor has a polyurethane surface finish, it will need a maintenance coat reapplied every few years. When routine cleaning no longer restores the floor’s shine, it's time to recoat the surface. How often you need to do this depends on the amount of foot traffic you have in your home. Unless you’ve done it before, you will probably need to contact a professional to refinish your floor’s surface.  If your floor surface has deep scratches, visible gouges, discoloration and other significant damage, consider sanding your floor and then refinishing it. Unless you have experience, contact a professional for this. You might have difficulty re-sanding a pre-finished floor. Many new pre-finished floors only have a small core of wood...


Follow all care instructions. Do not fiddle with new piercings. Leave the piercing in place. Do not use hydrogen peroxide.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

When you get a new piercing, you will go home with a set of instructions for care. It is important to follow these instructions carefully. Your piercing will hurt for longer if you don't encourage it to heal properly.  Usually, you will have to clean your piercing at least once a day. Some piercings may need to be cleaned more frequently. Before cleaning, wash your hands with warm water and antibacterial soap. Your piercer should have given specific instructions for cleaning. Usually, you rinse the piercing in warm water and a saline solution. Pat the area dry with a clean paper towel or napkin when you’re done. Cleaning is very important. It keeps the area free of bacteria that can cause an infection. You may be tempted to touch or twist your new piercing. This will irritate the area, causing more pain. Also, touching your piercing with dirty hands greatly increases your risk of an infection. Do not take the piercing out before the healing period has passed. When you get your piercing, your piercer will let you know how many weeks the piercing needs to stay in place. Until this time has passed, do not remove the piercing for any reason. This will delay the healing process, and putting the piercing back in place may cause pain. If you suspect your piercing is infected, talk to a doctor or return to your piercer. Do not attempt to fix the infection on your own with hydrogen peroxide. This kills healing cells and can cause crust to build up around your piercing.


Follow all instructions from local authorities. Fill bathtubs and buckets with water. Turn your refrigerator and freezer to the coldest settings. Turn off propane tanks. Stay away from windows and glass doors. Stay inside until local authorities have confirmed that the storm has passed.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Keep the TV or radio on to get the most recent information. Local authorities may issue new orders as the storm progresses. If your power goes out, flip on your battery-operated radio. It is possible for water service to be interrupted during a hurricane. To avoid problems, fill the bathtub and several large buckets with water. That way, you'll be able to pour water down the toilet in the absence of flushing, and you'll be able to wash yourself. In the event of a power loss, all of the food in your refrigerator and freezer could go bad. Keeping these on the coldest setting will help keep your food cold for as long as possible if you do lose power. Open the doors as little as possible to trap the cold air inside. If you have a propane tank attached to your house, turn it off during the storm. Storm damage could sever a gas line, which causes an explosion or fire risk. Strong winds can send projectiles through windows and cause injury. If your windows aren't boarded up, stay away from them. It might be difficult to get medical attention during the storm, so avoiding injury is a top priority. The safest thing to do during a hurricane is stay indoors and wait the storm out. Whether you're at home or in an evacuation shelter, you should stay inside for the duration of the storm unless there is a serious emergency. Stay tuned in to news stations and wait until they have confirmed that the storm has passed before going outside. Beware of lulls. This could mean that the eye of the storm is passing. Winds will calm and the rain will probably stop if the eye is over your area. Don't be fooled. The storm will restart again without warning and you could be caught outside if you leave your home. Wait until local authorities have confirmed that the storm is over before leaving shelter.


Follow all laws and regulations. Use watermarked government money images.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Creating any kind of currency is generally regulated by your national government. In the United States, the final fake bill must be shrunk down to 75% or less of the original bill’s size or enlarged to over 150% of the original bill’s size. The government also encourages anyone who prints fake money to make it one-sided. Check with your national or local government before starting printing any fake money, just to be safe. You should also note that it is illegal to copy money in color tones in many areas. Instead, you’ll probably need to go with black and white bills. The Treasury Department of the United States provides images of currency that can be downloaded and printed out for educational reasons via their official website. Other financial groups, such as the European Central Bank, offer the same service as well. Go online, pull up one of these files, and then you are ready to print. Many of these entities offer images of both coin and bill currency.


Follow all of their rules. Complete your chores and homework on time. Have good manners. Maintain a relationship with your sibling.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Though you can’t force your parents to favor you, you can ensure that you keep all of their rules and stay out of trouble.  Don’t give them any reason to find fault with you.  You might find that your parents don’t really favor your sibling, but that they simply wish you were more responsible.  If your curfew is at 10PM, come home at 9:45PM.  If you’re not allowed to watch certain shows or listen to certain music, don’t do so, even when you’re alone. If you feel that the rules are unfair, talk to your parents. Be sure as well to do your homework before they get home each day so they don’t have to remind you.  Complete any chores assigned well and without having to be told.  Consider asking for additional responsibility around home, as well. However, if you have chores to do, but your older sibling does not, this is unfair.  Talk to your parents about this rule and ask if your sibling can help you. Always be respectful of your parent and others.  Say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’  Greet them with a smile when you see them.  Help them if you see them struggling with something. Though your parents favor them, try not to hold this against your sibling.  They can’t help how your parents feel.  Instead, talk and hang out regularly so that you don’t become distant.  Put any issues between the two of you on the table so you can move past them. If the two of you recently had an argument, say something like “Hey, want to go for ice cream with me? I want to talk about what happened last night.”


Follow an anti-inflammatory diet. Increase the amounts of vegetables and fruit in your diet. Increase the amount of fiber in your diet, as fiber can decrease inflammation. Limit red meat. Limit your intake of trans and saturated fats. Increase the amount of fish you eat. Make sure you include only complex carbohydrates. Begin exercising on a regular basis. Get between 75 – 300 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Certain foods can help you lose weight. In general, these are known as “anti-inflammatory” foods, which are used because having extra weight is an inflammatory condition. To follow this diet switch to organic foods as much as possible. These contain no pesticides or other chemicals, like hormones and antibiotics, that may be related to an increased risk of inflammation.  Limit the amount of processed and prepackaged food you eat as well. You want to limit the additives and preservatives that can cause some people increased inflammation if they have sensitivity to these additives and preservatives. It may take some extra practice and planning, but the closer you can get to cooking from scratch, using whole foods that have not been processed (and therefore retain most of the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients) the healthier you will be. A rule of thumb is that if the food is too white, like white bread, white rice, white pasta, it has been processed. Instead, eat whole grain breads, brown rice, and whole grain pasta. About ⅔ of your total food should be fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Fruits and vegetables contain high levels of antioxidants, which may decrease inflammation.  Choose brightly colored fruits and vegetables for the highest level of antioxidants.  These include: berries (blueberries, raspberries), apples, plums, oranges and citrus fruit (Vitamin C is an excellent anti-oxidant), leafy green vegetables, both winter and summer squash, and bell peppers. Fresh is best, but frozen vegetables and fruits can definitely be used. Avoid eating vegetables in any sort of creamy sauces that may add fats to your diet. Avoid fruits that have sugar or heavy syrup (with added sugars) You should be aiming for a minimum of 20 – 35 gm of fiber daily. High fiber foods include:  Whole grains like brown rice, bulgar wheat, buckwheat, oats, millet, quinoa. Fruits, particularly those that you can eat with the skin — e.g. apples, pears, figs, dates, grapes, berries of all kinds. Vegetables, especially leafy green...


Follow any style requirements associated with your project. Determine your citation style based on subject. Use citation requirements set by your source.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you’re citing a photograph for a school paper or a formal publication, you might already be expected to follow a particular citation format. Consult with your teacher, professor, school, publisher, or supervisor to find out if they have a preferred citation style. If you live in the US, the most common citation styles are APA (American Psychological Association), MLA (Modern Language Association), and CMS (Chicago Manual of Style). If you are allowed to set your own citation style, you should select one that is standard for the discipline in which you are writing. For example, APA is usually used for research papers in the social sciences, while CMS is used for publications and papers in literature, history, and the arts. If you are writing in a specialized discipline like the sciences or law and legal studies, choose a citation style that is specific to your discipline (e.g., Council of Science Editors for biology, or Association of Legal Writing Directors for legal studies). In some cases, the source of a photograph may require you to provide particular information about the image, or cite the photo in a specific manner. For example, some photographic archives may require that you include an accession number or reproduction copy number in your citation.


Follow directions. Be prepared for long hours. Be prepared to travel. Stay physically strong. Be a master at risk management.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You may think that your best chance of success comes from showing off, trying to impress the film crew, and boasting about all of your additional skills. Once you've become a veteran stunt man, then sure, you will have more leeway, and you may even be consulted as a stunt coordinator or producer, but when you're trying to get your foot in the door, it's important to be as agreeable as possible.  You want to be remembered as someone who is easy to work with. Why? So you can get hired again. When you're following directions, it's important to be polite and reasonable when you interact with the crew. If you genuinely have a question about how a stunt should be performed, ask away, but don't nitpick everything that's happening or slow down the process. Being a stunt person doesn't mean falling out of a helicopter for three takes and then calling it a day. It can mean over 14 hours on a set, working nights, and staying mentally and physically alert throughout the process. This is a full-time job, and once you start landing enough gigs, you must be able to commit to the time that you'll need to succeed in your role. In the beginning, you may be juggling other work along with stunt work, but if you've hit the big leagues, you must be ready to give it your all. This means that you'll need endurance to succeed at the job. If you get winded after an our of fighting or feel ready for a nap after rock climbing for an afternoon, then you need to build up your mental and physical strength. If you're a true stunt man, then you won't be spending your life filming within a thirty mile radius of your comfy home, not even if you live in Hollywood, CA. You'll be traveling to the Caribbean to film a jet-skiing sequence. You might find yourself in Peru to shoot a rock climbing scene. You might even be in Germany for a high-speed car chase. This means long hours on airplanes, and needing to get over jet lag before you hit those jet-skiis. Sure, this will be exciting, thrilling work, but you'll need to be prepared for all of the...

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you'd like to follow someone else's progress, navigate to their profile.  Click the blue "Add friend" button at the top of the page.  From then on, you'll be following that person's progress.  You can see how many points they've accumulated on the leader-board, at the right of your skill tree.


Follow her on social media to stay in touch. Text her to be friendly and to make her smile. Ask her to go on a date when you feel comfortable. Be patient and respectful if she doesn’t seem interested right away.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Ask her if she uses social media like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Then, follow or friend her on whatever option she prefers. You can keep up to date with her posts and photos, and you can send her a direct message to keep the conversation going. For example, add your crush on Facebook, then DM her asking how her big test went. In addition to adding her on social media, ask for her phone number. Do this after you’ve spent some time together and know her fairly well, so this doesn’t seem awkward or unexpected. Then, shoot her a text when you want to say hello.  You can say something like, “Hey Lindsay, I hope you’re having a great day.” or “What did you think of the ending of The Hobbit?” In addition, you can call her to hang out again. Be mindful not to send too many texts. Keep the conversation going, but refrain from texting her again if she doesn’t text back. Wait a few days and then try again. When you are ready to take your friendship to the next level, ask your crush if she wants to go to a movie or play a game together. Spending time together may make her like you more, and she may grow interested in you over time. Simply say something like, “Hey, Lisa, do you want to see the new Marvel movie this weekend?”  You can also play video games, read books together in the park, or take a walk and talk about your favorite series. If she is busy, request another time that may work. Your crush may shy and selective when it comes to dating, and that’s okay. If she doesn’t want to hang out immediately or is quiet and shy at first, that doesn’t mean she is not interested in you. It may take her a bit longer to open up. Continue to be nice and kind until she comes around.


Follow him on social media and exchange contact information. Ask him to do something Keep things positive and be yourself. Have confidence in yourself and in your ability to make new friends.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Part of becoming friends with someone involves getting connected, both in person and online. Follow him on Instagram and Snapchat (if you don’t already), and ask for his number. After you get his phone number, send him a text with your name so he can add you to his phone. You could write something like, “Hi, this is Kayla from the football game. Nice talking to you tonight!” Or try something like, “Hey Bryan, this is Ben (we met at the batting range yesterday). Let me know if you want to meet up and practice swings sometime.” with you, even if it’s a new interest. Of course, by all means, ask him to do things that you know he will enjoy. But don’t be afraid to ask him to attend something different, too—you never know what kind of shared interests you might find, plus it’ll be a common talking point that you can refer to in the future.  You could always arrange a group hangout, too, and invite him along with some other friends. This might alleviate some pressure if you’re worried about giving the wrong impression through spending one-on-one time together. Check out a new restaurant or coffee shop, go to a movie or a play, sign up to run a 5k, volunteer, visit a museum or art gallery, make a trip to see a sports game, or take a cooking class. There are tons of things you can do together to get to know each other better. When you’re just starting to connect with a new friend, it’s a great idea to keep things positive and light-hearted. Some guys might get intimidated or turned off from the friendship if you dive right into the deep emotional stuff. Try to inject your conversations with humor and come up with some inside jokes to make a deeper connection with your new friend. Authentic people are the best people to be friends with. So be yourself, and trust that if you two do connect, you can create a long-lasting friendship. You yourself are fun and interesting, and if you have common interests with this guy, there is no reason you shouldn’t start becoming friends! Confidence helps to attract others to you, and...


Follow instructions on over-the-counter pain medication. Control underlying conditions. See your doctor. Discuss treatment options with your doctor. Treat complications with medication. Consider end-stage treatments.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you are suffering from pain from your kidneys or any other area and want to use over-the-counter pain relievers, make sure to follow the packaging instructions. Taking too much pain medication can cause kidney disease or make existing kidney problems worse.  Consider avoiding NSAID pain relievers if you already suffer from kidney problems. These include ibuprofen and naproxen sodium.  Ask your doctor if these medications are safe for you to take. Certain conditions, including high blood pressure and diabetes, can cause or increase your risk for kidney disease. By managing any underlying causes, you may be able to support your kidney function.  Monitor your blood pressure regularly at home or a doctor’s office. You target blood pressure should be less than 140/90 mm Hg.  Check and control your blood sugar if you have diabetes.  Watch your cholesterol levels to make sure they’re within a healthy range. Your doctor can order blood tests to check your levels.  Remember to take any medication for underlying conditions your doctor prescribes. If managing lifestyle and underlying conditions doesn’t improve how you feel, if you’re feeling worse, or if you suspect that you may have kidney disease, schedule an appointment with your doctor. She can run tests and come up with a treatment plan specifically for you.  Tell your doctor any signs and symptoms you may have and describe how you feel.  Let her know about any medications, supplements, or other substances that you’re taking.  Take a list of questions you may have.  Answer any questions your doctor has about your condition. Once your doctor has diagnosed what is causing problems with your kidneys, discuss your treatment options with him. Depending on the severity of your case or underlying causes, he may suggest continuing to support your kidney function with lifestyle, taking medication, or even undergoing dialysis. Certain medications may help treat complications that arise from kidney disease. Take these to see if they help support your kidney function. Your...


Follow outlining principles that will keep your outline organized. Start by outlining your introduction. Write out your first main point in the form of a thesis statement. State the relevant evidence and significance for this main point. Repeat this process for each additional part of your argument. Prepare rebuttals to address potential counterarguments. Add detail to your outline.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

While the order of your material will be determined by your debate form, the format for your debate outline should follow the basic guidelines for outlining. Organize your outline with main headings and subheadings marked by Roman numerals, capital letters, and Arabic numerals.  Subdivide information. Main headings will probably consist of arguments, while subheadings will contain different pieces of supporting evidence. Use correct symbols. Each level of the outline has a particular symbol to use. The main headings will use Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV). Subheadings use capital letters (A, B, C). Sub-sub headings use Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3). Keep these consistent throughout your outline. Indent each level. Indentation helps you follow the line of argument and keeps your outline organized. The introduction should include an overview of the research question or topic of debate, as well as a thesis statement for your overall argument. On a sheet of paper, write a bullet point with the word “Introduction.” Then, write an indented bullet point below this summarizing the debate topic. Finally, write another bullet point below this one that states your thesis.  Your thesis statement should explain which side of the debate you'll be taking and why your case is stronger than your opponent's. For example, if you're debating whether gas cars or electric cars are cleaner, your thesis statement might be: “Electric cars are cleaner than gas cars.” Create a second main heading marked as “Arguments” and write out your principal sub-argument as the first subheading in this new section. This line of argument should be the most convincing piece of evidence for why your overall argument is correct. For example, if you're arguing that electric cars are cleaner than gas cars because they produce less carbon dioxide, your first main point would be: “Electric cars produce less carbon dioxide emissions than gas cars.” Add additional subheadings below your first line of argument and briefly write out all the relevant pieces of...


Follow procedures. Keep your records. Say thank you.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Most charitable organizations have steps for you to follow when you are donating money. You can usually mail a check or money order. Many organizations also provide secure ways for you to make your donation online.  Make sure to specify whether or not you are making an anonymous donation. You should also specify whether you are making the donation on behalf of a group. Many organizations also offer choices of where your money goes. For example, for cancer research, you could choose to donate to research or specify that it goes to families of children with cancer. Decide ahead of time where you would like to direct your funds. Many people like to claim a tax deduction when they donate to charity. You can print off forms online so that you can provide your donors with a receipt. Just make sure that you understand how to fill out the forms in case your donors have questions for you. Keep any receipts for money you personally spend on your fundraiser. These expenses might be tax deductible, too. It takes a lot of effort to effectively fund raise. Chances are, if you've raised a lot of money, then you have had a lot of help. Make sure to take the time to personally thank each member of your team. You should also try to thank each donor. Try writing thank-you notes. People love to receive something in the mail other than bills!


Follow product instructions. Use gentle pressure. Avoid pulling your skin taut.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Depending on what type of epilator you have, consult the product’s instructions. These can advise how to get optimal results and minimize the risk of ingrown hairs. For example, some epilators may require working in the direction of hair growth, while others suggest working against it. Tweezers likely will not come with instructions. Grip the hair you’d like to remove in the pointed end of the tweezers, and pull gently in the direction of the hair growth. Wipe the tweezers off with a clean cloth to remove the hairs, if necessary. Be gentle when using your epilator. Using too much pressure can make it more difficult to remove the hair from its follicles. Gently press the epilator so that it glides easily over your skin. Hold the area you’re exfoliating with as little pressure as possible. Pulling your skin taut can catch hairs underneath the surface of your skin. This can increase your risk of developing an ingrown hair. If you are using an epilation device, follow the product packaging instructions about whether you should pull your skin.


Follow proper land-use procedures. Contact local officials about past landslides. Consider building retaining or deflection walls. Talk to an insurance agent if your area is at risk. Make an emergency kit.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Proper land use-procedures dictate that you should not build near mountain edges, steep slopes, or natural erosion valleys. These areas are prone to landslides. Landslides tend to happen in the same area where they have occurred before. Talk to local officials about landslides in your area. If you are in an at-risk area, consider getting a site analysis of your property. This will help you determine any necessary corrective measures. You should be especially attuned to landslide warning signs if you live in an at-risk area. Retaining walls, channels, and deflection walls can shield your property from landslide debris and divert debris flow. If you live in an area that is vulnerable to landslides, consult a professional to see what should be done. Beware—if your channels or deflection walls cause debris to flow into a neighbor’s property, you may have to pay for damages. If your area is vulnerable to landslides, talk to an insurance agent to see if your insurance covers landslide-related damage. Although landslide insurance is not usually available, some flood insurance policies cover damage from landslide flows. An emergency kit contains the essentials that your household will need during an emergency. Make your kit in advance so it is ready at a moment’s notice. Your kit should contain enough food and water to last for at least 72 hours, as well as supplies like medications, flashlights, batteries, cell phones, copies of personal documents, and cash.  Remember that landslides can cut off services like electricity, sewage treatment, gas, water, and telephones. Pack supplies in your kit that will allow you to deal with these outages. Choose food that is non-perishable and can be prepared during power outages. Pack any important items that would be difficult or impossible to replace.


Follow the 60-30-10 rule. Match the color scheme of your furnishings. Stick with white for a simple, clean option. Use subtle shades for a contemporary color theme. Opt for neutral colors to modernize your living room. Combine neutrals and rich colors for a traditional color scheme. Employ a transitional color scheme if you enjoy traditional and modern decor.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Regardless of the colors you choose, it’s helpful to plan how much space each color will account for. As a rule of thumb, 60% of your living room should be a dominant color, 30% should be a secondary color, and 10% should be an accent color.  Choose dominant and secondary colors you're especially comfortable with. Know that your dominant color choice will greatly impact the room's feel. Don't choose a dominant or secondary color that you are not absolutely sure of. Only use bold colors as accent colors. A punch of powerful color can do wonders to the energy and character of a space. Make this sort of impact with your accent color. For a sense of vitality, make your accent color the brightest of your palette. Ensure that all 3 colors coordinate well with one another. Group your chosen colors together in a small trial area before committing to painting and decorating the whole room. You might want to use a neutral color as a base, like beige or gray, as they are versatile and classic. For instance, if you have modern furniture and decorations, you will probably be better off with a modern color scheme of white, black, and gray than you would be with a traditional color scheme filled with rich hues.  Alternatively, if you have older or more traditional furniture, use bright, modern colors for paint and accents to update the space. If your furnishings share a color scheme, complimenting that color with a secondary or accent color will tie the room together quite well. White is the safest bet there is. While some may prefer a more interesting dominant color, there’s no denying that all-white or mostly-white color schemes can create a very clean, crisp living room. You can choose from a wide variety of “white,” such as off-white, cream, eggshell, grey-white, or antique white. Contemporary colors include subtle, muted shades of natural colors that can help create a calm atmosphere while still allowing you to inject a bit of personal style into the space. Light browns and soft grays can readily serve as dominant...


Follow the 80/20 rule. Give up smoking. Manage stress. See a therapist. Get more sleep.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

If you're aiming to live a healthier life, it's not about avoiding every unhealthy food or working out everyday.  It's about moderation that works for you.  Many health professionals suggest a common rule known as the 80/20 rule.  This means that 80% of the time you choose healthy activities or things that will promote a healthier life.  20% of the time you can choose something a little less healthy (like sleeping in instead of your morning workout or having an extra glass of wine).  When you first start on your goals towards living a healthier life, make sure to include treats and fun things that might not necessarily be considered "healthy."  These things will support your mental and emotional health. All health professionals will recommend the discontinuation of smoking or using other tobacco products.  They have been linked to a variety of healthy problems and diseases, ranging from lung disease to kidney failure.  Try to give up smoking as soon as possible.  Giving up cold turkey is harder and may come with more side effects, but it's the quickest way to discontinue damaging your body.  If you're having trouble quitting, see your doctor for help.  They might be able to prescribe you a medication or refer you to a smoking cessation program. Stress is a hard to control emotion that can wreak havoc on your health.  Low-grade chronic stress is very common and can inhibit your progress towards living a healthier life.  Stress can lead to a variety of health related side effects including:  headache, depression, fatigue, raises your risk of a heart attack and type 2 diabetes, acid reflux, and reduced immunity.  Engage in other behaviors to help you calm down, release stress and anxiety.  Try:  meditation, yoga, light exercise, listening to music, talking to a friend or taking a hot shower or bath. These health professionals will be able to give you direct guidance on how to better manage your stress, a hectic lifestyle and other life situations.  You may want to talk to your primary care doctor about a local...


Follow the BRAT (Banana, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) diet. Eat plenty of soups and broths. Avoid spicy and high-fat foods, as these are harder to digest. Avoid dairy foods, except for yogurt containing live bacteria. Keep a food diary to identify which foods cause diarrhea. Drink plenty of fluids.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The BRAT diet is great for pregnant women who are suffering from diarrhea as the foods it contains are low in fiber and easy to digest, but still highly nutritious. The BRAT diet is easy on the gastrointestinal tract and rarely causes diarrhea.  Bananas are high in potassium, which helps to replace the potassium that is lost during diarrhea. Bananas also help to thicken the stool, which prevent diarrhea. Applesauce (made at home using only apples) contains pectin, which helps to thicken stool. It's also high in natural sugars, which provides energy. Rice and toast are simple foods which are easily digested. They also work as binding agents to thicken the stool. Clear soups and broths contain no solid particles so they require little to no digestion. This means that they are very unlikely to cause problems making them a great choice for expectant mothers during early pregnancy.   Eating clear soups and broths can be combined with the BRAT diet to ensure that you are getting all of your required vitamins and nutrients. When following this diet, try to eat five or six smaller meals a day, rather than three large ones, as this further decreases the chance of diarrhea and helps to keep your energy levels up. Spicy foods and food that contains high amounts of fat are much more likely to cause diarrhea, as they are difficult to digest and may irritate the gastrointestinal tract.  Stay away from high fat meat products such as bacon and fatty red meat. Instead, opt for low-fat proteins such as turkey, skinless chicken breasts and white fish. You should also avoid cooking with too much oil or butter. Stay away from spicy foods such as most Asian, Indian and Mexican cuisines. Avoid cooking with hot spices or peppers at home. Many women become lactose intolerant during pregnancy, which means that you may experience diarrhea after drinking milk or eating other dairy products.  The one exception to this is yogurt containing live bacteria such as lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium. The organisms in the yogurt...


Follow the advice in this section while the flower stem is present. Keep the orchid in bright, indirect sunlight. Expose the plant to night/day temperature changes. Water regularly. Apply a high-nitrogen fertilizer. Support the growing stems with stakes. Prune only when the flower stem turns brown.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

In the Northern Hemisphere, cymbidium orchids typically grow "flower spikes" starting in February, bloom for three to eight weeks, then lose the last of the flower stem in August. In the Southern Hemisphere, this period lasts from August through January instead. Orchids thrive on many hours of sunlight a day, but can burn if exposed to direct afternoon sun. An east- or south-facing window is a good choice in the Northern Hemisphere, or an east- or north-facing window in the Southern Hemisphere. If at least four hours of sunlight is not regularly available, consider using full spectrum grow lights to encourage growth. Healthy leaves are light green or yellow-green. If they are bright yellow or spotted, the plant receives too much sun. If the leaves are dark green, it receives too little sun. Keep the plant in temperate conditions, but expose it to night temperatures cooler by at least 10ºF (or by 5.5ºC) if possible. In ideal conditions, the budding plant should experience night temperatures of 40–55ºF (4–10ºC) and day temperatures of 65–75ºF (18–24ºC). Once the plant has bloomed, it can withstand significant summer heat, but should be kept above 35ºF (1.7ºC) at all times. Some cymbidium orchids are hardier than others. While some sources claim a USDA hardiness zone range as wide as 5–10, most cymbidium orchids will be much easier to grow in zones 9 and 10, where winter temperatures are mild enough to keep the plant outdoors at night. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy, by watering about once a week for most of the flowering period. During summer weather, watering once every 3–5 days may be required. Each watering session, pour water until it runs through the flowerpot. If the water does not drain through immediately, you may need to repot your orchid plant to prevent rot.  Rainwater or reverse osmosis water are great options, especially if your tap water is hard. However, do not use water "softened" by other processes, as it may contain salts that can damage the plant.  Water early in the day if possible, so...


Follow the approach of question, investigation and review. Determine a question. Provide a prompt to accompany the question.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This simple approach gives plenty of room for discovery, research, creativity, analysis and conclusions. Make the question an exciting one that sparks the imagination and interest of the class participants. The best questions tend to be those that are large, open-ended, difficult and interesting:  Encourage class participants to consider theories rather than concrete answers. If the question seems unanswerable, children will be encouraged to posit many possibilities, pushing their thinking boundaries.     Broader, harder questions promote deeper and longer discussions. Consider using a mix of familiar things and less well known things. For example, you might ask questions related to coursework already covered along with questions about things the class participants are yet to learn about. For many ideas of good questions, check both How to formulate questions for SOLE activities and the SOLE guide at http://www.ted.com/pages/sole_toolkit. There are many possibilities here, such as reading a brief information sheet, showing a video, playing music or audio, showing images, etc., all things related to the question. Basically, look for things that spark curiosity and cause the class participants to want to dig deeper and look for the solutions.


Follow the assignments carefully. Study with friends. Explain the material to someone who isn’t in your class. Seek out different ways of absorbing material. Get to know your teacher. Find out if you have a learning disability.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Most courses are designed to guide you, step by step, through a subject. If you have a syllabus, read it closely and try to follow its directions and suggestions. In other classes, pay attention to the calendar of assignments. Otherwise, you might find yourself trying to tackle an impossible task at the end of the term.  Don’t skip class. In class, focus on understanding what’s being said rather than writing every word down in your notes. Don’t try to multitask in class. Close any distractions such as e-mail or social media. This kind of multitasking undermines your learning.  Attend any extra test-preparation or study sessions offered. Complete all the assignments in order and on time. Take on suggested reading or supplementary problems if possible. Sometimes, you may overestimate how easy everyone else finds a particular class or subject. Studying with friends can offer moral support. In addition, you may understand a particular concept better if you hear someone else explain it.  Talk with your study group about what confuses you. Articulating the problem is frequently the first step to solving it. Choose a study group that suits you. You want a group where you can learn, but not feel overwhelmed or intimidated. Be especially careful not to rely too heavily on friends who find the subject easy. In the end, you will need to learn the material thoroughly for yourself. Talk to a roommate, a friend, or a sibling, and try to teach them the subject to the best of your ability. Grab a whiteboard or large piece of paper so that you can sketch out concepts. Learning the same material through different modes can increase retention. If a particular style of learning appeals to you, make studying more pleasant by finding multiple ways to learn through that style.  If you learn well by listening to someone explain something, try looking up online lectures or demonstrations on the topics that confuse you. Go to the library and check out another textbook on the topic. Does this one explain it in a way that is easier to...


Follow the directions for the craft you’re making. Use long, sawing motions when cutting with a blade. Cut out indentations from the center of the styrofoam. Cut channels in the styrofoam using a bladed tool. Divide round styrofoam balls by cutting them down the middle.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Sometimes you might make curved cuts first when cutting styrofoam, while other times you might make straight cuts.  Either is acceptable as long as you’re following the directions for your project. If you’re engaging in a project of your own design and not working with directions, you can make either curved or straight cuts first.  Remember, it’s your project, so there are no rules! Keep steady, even pressure on the knife throughout the cutting process to reduce the chances of breaking or crushing the foam.  Long, sawing motions will also minimize the amount of foam crumbs you produce. If you want to cut a depression in styrofoam, start in the center.  Draw a line around the area you want to remove, then select a tool that will allow you to remove it while achieving a depth and a degree of curvature that pleases you.  A depression with vertical sides is best removed using a knife.  Just select an appropriately long knife, then cut along the line you’ve marked. In some cases, indentations are best achieved using a rounded sanding tool rather than a knife. A long, serrated knife or an electric knife is probably best for cutting channels through your styrofoam.  Mark the length and depth of the channel on your styrofoam, then punch your blade through the styrofoam to the depth you marked.  When the piece is loose, remove it. You can use this technique to cut channels that run through a piece of styrofoam or along the surface of a piece of styrofoam. You can cut a round styrofoam ball in half by tracing a line along its equator with a sharp pencil.  Many styrofoam balls already have this line marked by the manufacturer.  Use a sharp blade, a hot wire cutter, or an electric knife to bisect the ball.


Follow the essay prompts carefully. Write as your best self. Think of the audience. Revise. Proofread.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Many college applications have an essay question. The essay will respond to your choice of prompts provided by the application. Make sure you read and follow the prompts carefully to make sure you're addressing everything.  College essay prompts are usually designed to help you showcase your value as potential scholar. Prompts often ask you to talk about a difficult experience you've overcome or comment on something to do with current events or history. Make sure you read the prompt carefully. You want to make sure you're writing to the prompt. A prompt might ask you to, say, compare and contrast your world outlook now as opposed to when you were in kindergarten. You might write a wonderful, insightful essay describing your current world outlook, but if you neglect to compare your current self to your former self you're not addressing the prompt. College applications boards will notice if you fail to follow directions.  You should also follow the most basic directions when answering essay questions. For example, don't write a 1,000 word essay if the prompt asks for a 1,000 character essay. College admissions boards see thousands of essay each year. If you want your essay to stand out, you'll need to focus on highlighting your best self. Spend some time working on your essay. Take it as an opportunity to showcase the best version of yourself.  Before you start writing, consider what you want an admissions board to know about you. What do you consider your best qualities? What unique talents and perspectives would you bring to this college or university? How can you fit these attributes into the essay prompt provided?  If you're struggling to start, ask your friends and family members to make a list of your most noticeable qualities. This can help you get a sense of what you should brag about in the application essay.  Try to use your own voice in a slightly elevated style. You should strive to write high quality prose in a college application essay, but you do not need to write an academic paper. Try to keep...


Follow the formatting instructions for your assignment. Ask a fellow art student or critic to give you feedback on your work. Revise your review if changes are necessary. Proofread your review before submitting it.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Use the formatting instructions provided by your instructor or publisher. This might include using standard 1 in (2.5 cm) margins, double-spacing, and 12-pt Times New Roman or Arial font. However, check your assignment sheet to make sure. If this is for class, your instructor likely told you which style guide to use. Format your paper and any citations that you use according to the rules for that style guide. Give your review to someone who has experience in writing art exhibition reviews so you can get feedback. Ask them to identify areas that need improvement, as well as errors that need to be corrected. Use their feedback to revise your paper. Don’t ask someone who’s unfamiliar with art exhibition reviews to critique your paper because they may unintentionally give you bad advice. After you get feedback, go through your paper and improve areas that aren’t working well. Address areas that the reviewer pointed out, but also revise sentences that you think could be better stated. Reading your review aloud will help you spot areas that don’t flow well. Re-write these sentences to make them better. After you complete your final draft, read over it again to make sure there are no typos or other errors. Read it out loud to make it easier to notice mistakes. Then, correct your paper if necessary. Try to get someone else to proofread it for you because it’s hard to spot your own errors.


Follow the general rule: Always use the biggest but most appropriate wire in case you decide to upgrade your sound system. Make everything color coded and neat.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

for power, ground and speaker wires, the lower the number and thicker the wire, the better. (Remote and RCA wires are always small.) People tend to underestimate the amount and size of wires that they need when installing many components in a car audio systems. If you have the chance of using 6-gauge wires as your power instead of 8, then do so. It may save  you a lot of time and money. If you previously had a 1000W system, then that 8 gauge wire may work. But if you upgrade to more powerful amps and subs, say 3000w, that 8 gauge will burn and melt in no time at all. Then you will have to remove it, and rewire the car with 2 gauge wire. If you have a feeling that you may go bigger in the future, chose bigger wire. Multiple Wires can lead to ground noise. People with many components and wires running through their car can easily end up getting "ground noise," which is the whining sound that plays through your speakers and rises and falls with the rev of your engine. Although there are many products that claim to reduce ground noise, the best method is positioning the main power wire and RCAs/4-channel amps as far away from each other as possible. A large power wire can create massive amounts of electromagnetic interference that can be picked up by RCA's of a 4-channel, and subsequently relayed back through the radio and mids and highs as ground noise. Fix the problem by running the power wire to the left of the driver side seat and placing the amp and RCA's under the passenger seat. If power is red wire, ground is black, and remote is blue, then you will have an easier time keeping track of your wires and what they connect to. Otherwise, if one amp fails, you may find yourself overwhelmed and needlessly tearing out wires.


Follow the instructions of a health care professional for your medication or treatment regimen. Treat a viral infection. Tend to a bacterial infection.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Ask your doctor how they intend to treat the infection. Plans will differ based on the results of your panel of tests. Make sure to follow the doctor’s exact instructions.  If left untreated, many sexually transmitted infections can cause health problems for you or the baby, including premature delivery, eye infections, and intellectual disability. If you receive antibiotics for the treatment of your condition, follow the medication instructions exactly and do not skip doses or stop taking the treatment until the entire regimen is complete. Viral infections, in most cases, cannot be cured. But they can be treated. Viral infections that require more advanced treatment to prevent transmission to the baby include Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), Hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS, and herpes. In some cases, antiviral medication can be administered during pregnancy to reduce maternal symptoms. In many cases, viral conditions can pass to the baby during childbirth even if treatment began during pregnancy (as with HIV) or is administered immediately following birth (as with Hepatitis C and herpes). Bacterial infections that can typically be treated with an antibiotic approved by an obstetrician or prenatal care specialist include gonorrhea, Chlamydia, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and syphilis. Certain infections require additional care to ensure that the infection does not pass to the baby at birth (for instance, they will put antibiotic drops into your baby’s eyes after birth if you have gonorrhea).


Follow the instructions. Eat healthy snacks between meals. Drink plenty of water. Exercise. Track your calorie intake. Eat a reasonable dinner.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Measure the recommended amount of shake powder and liquid to mix together. Usually, this is one scoop of powder and 8 fluid ounces (237 mL) of milk. Replace only the meals listed in the instructions. Most weight-loss shakes recommend at least one solid meal, usually dinner. Don’t drink extra shakes to try to curb your hunger. The high protein content can actually cause you to gain weight if you overdo it. Remember, every gram of protein is 4 calories. If you eat breakfast at 6:00am and lunch at 12:00pm, you’ll probably feel hungry by mid- to late-morning. Resist the temptation to reach for junk food by keeping fiber-rich snacks on hand. Eat an unpeeled apple or pear, 1 cup (237 g) of raspberries, or one medium banana between shakes. Do this again between lunch and dinner. The water content of your shakes won’t meet your daily requirements. Drink at least 64 fluid ounces (1.89 L) throughout the day. Keep a full bottle with you at the gym and at work to stay hydrated and stave off cravings. Physical activity helps to rev up your metabolism and it also keeps you healthy over the long term. Get 60 to 90 minutes of moderate exercise a day, at least four days a week. If you’re new to exercising, try walking 30 minutes a day. You can also talk to your doctor about the best ways to incorporate cardio, strength training, and flexibility training into your exercise program. You need a certain number of calories each day to stay healthy. This amount depends on your age, gender, and activity level.Calculate the number of calories you need each day, then subtract the calories in your shakes from the calories you need each day. The difference is the number of calories you’ll need from snacks and dinner.  For example, if you’re a 40 year-old woman who gets moderate exercise, you should consume about 2,000 calories a day. Two 600-calorie shakes will give you 1,200 calories. This means you need to get a total of 800 calories from your snacks and dinner. Weight loss with any plan only happens when you burn more calories than...


Follow the line and syllable structure of a haiku. Describe the subject with sensory detail. Use concrete images and descriptions. Write the poem in the present tense. End with a surprising last line.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Haikus follow a strict form: three lines, with a 5-7-5 syllable structure. That means the first line will have five syllables, the second line will have seven syllables, and the last line will have five syllables.  The poem will have a total of seventeen syllables. To count syllables in a word, place your hand under your chin. Then, say the word. Every time your chin touches your hand, this is one syllable. A haiku does not have to rhyme or follow a certain rhythm as long as it adheres to the syllable count. Haikus are meant to give the reader a brief sense of the subject using the senses. Think about how your subject smells, feels, sounds, tastes, and looks. Describe the subject using your senses so it comes alive for your reader and feels powerful on the page.  For example, you may write about the “musky scent of the pine needles” or the “bitter taste of the morning air.” If you are writing a haiku about a particular subject, such as your dog, you may describe the “clacking of its nails on the tile” or the “damp fur of wet dog.” Avoid abstract or vague descriptions. Instead, go for concrete images that are easy for the reader to visualize. Rather than using metaphor or simile, try describing the subject with details that are particular and unique.  Avoid wordy descriptions or elaborate language. Try using simple language so you can stick to the syllable count required for a haiku. Do not use cliches, or phrases that have become so familiar they lose their meaning. Instead, go for images and descriptions that feel unique. For example, you may write, “Fall leaves brush the road” or “Dog chases a bright bluebird.” Give the haiku immediacy by using the present tense, rather than the past tense. Using the present tense can also make your lines simple and easy to follow. A good haiku will have an ending line that is intriguing and leaves the reader hanging. It may leave the reader with a surprising last image or reflect on the previous two lines in a surprising way. For example, the haiku by Japanese poet...


Follow the rule of 1 gallon (3.8 L) of paint per 400 square feet (37 m2). Make a list of the individual types and colors of paint you need. Look up the price per 1 US gal (3.8 L) of the types of paint you want. Multiply the price per 1 US gal (3.8 L) by the amount of paint you need. Factor in the cost of painting tools. Divide the total cost by the area of your house to estimate price per square foot.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

While the exact coverage you can expect will vary depending on the kind of paint you’re using and the surface you’re painting on, this is a good rule of thumb. Divide the total number of square feet you have to paint by 400 to determine how many gallons of paint you need.  For example, you can cover 850 square feet (79 m2) with 2.13 gallons (8.1 L) of paint (or 3 gallons (11 L), rounding up to the nearest gallon). For smaller areas, you can use the rule that 1 US quart (0.95 L) of paint covers 100 square feet (9.3 m2). If you need multiple coats of paint, multiply your estimate by the number of coats you plan to use. For example, if you need to use 2 coats of paint in a 400 sq ft (37 m2) area, you’ll need 2 gallons (7.6 L) of paint. You probably won’t be painting your house all one color, and different surfaces require different types of paint, as well. Before you start budgeting, determine how many different types and colors of paint you will need. Knowing what kinds of paints you’ll be getting will help you calculate your costs more accurately.  For example, you might want to use matte water-based paints on most interior walls, but use glossy, water-resistant oil-based paints in your bathroom and kitchen. For exterior surfaces, like your siding or your deck, you’ll need heavy-duty latex paints that can stand up to the elements. Look for a combined paint and primer that will adhere well to most surfaces.  You’ll likely want at least one exterior paint color and at least one interior paint color, plus at least one additional color for trim. Most paints cost between $20 and $70 per 1 US gal (3.8 L). Go through the list of paints you want and look up the price for each one. To figure out how much you’ll be spending on paint, look at the amount of paint you need to cover each surface in your home. Break it down by the kind of paint you’ll need for each surface, then multiply the amount of paint needed by the price of the paint. Add all the sums together to get the total price. For example, if you need 3 gallons...


Follow the rules. Pay attention. Be open-minded. Consult worksheets. Find a friend to buddy up with.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The most important thing that you can do to ensure that you enjoy a field trip is to obey the rules. You don’t want to be yelled at or pulled out of the field trip for behaving badly because you may miss out on fun, interesting activities. Your teacher will likely go over the rules before you leave for the trip, but make sure to listen to the guidelines that staff at your destination, such as a museum tour guide, share as well.  Remember that you’re representing your entire school when you’re on a field trip, so it’s important to behave and establish a good reputation for the school. If you and other students break rules and are generally unruly, not only may your school not be invited back to the venue, but your class may not be able to go on any field trips in the future. Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you’re unsure of the rules. You don’t want to accidentally break a rule because you don’t understand what is and is not permitted. Before you arrive at the field trip destination, your teacher has probably given you a background lesson on the subject matter. The venue usually helps bring the lesson to life in a fun, interesting way that it couldn’t in a classroom, though, so it’s important to pay attention to the activities and presentations that occur during the field trip so you really absorb the information.  It’s always exciting to be out of school, but you shouldn’t just use the opportunity to chat with your friends. You’re still supposed to learn something even though you’re out of the classroom. If you have friends who have a habit of distracting you, it’s a good idea to tell them that you really want to pay attention on the trip. You might say, “I really like talking/hanging out with you, but let’s save that for lunch. I really want to pay attention today.” When you hear where you’re going on your field trip, you might write the experience off as boring because it’s tied to a lesson that you’ve learned in school. However, you should go into the trip with an open mind because getting to experience...


Follow the same steps listed in the Pre-Dye Preparation section. Comb the strand that has been dyed. Tape the bottom of your hair to a piece of cardboard with masking tape. Stamp the spots on to your selected section of hair. Rinse your hair as prescribed by the dye box. Finished.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Dye the section of hair you have selected with the base dye as listed above. This step includes following the dyeing instructions and washing your hair out as prescribed by the dye box. If you are doing a large section of your head, begin work on half of the section. This will hold it in place while you paint. If you do not have cardboard or something hard and flat to use, you can use your palm. Note that the pattern might not come out as perfectly as you would like.    Follow the same steps listed in the above section.


Follow these instructions for significant changes. Clean the copper. Acquire liver of sulfur in liquid, gel, or dry form. Work with gloves in a ventilated area. Dilute the liver of sulfur. Prepare a baking soda bath in advance. Use tongs to dip the copper into the liver of sulfur solution for a second or two. Repeat until the desired color is reached. Clean the copper with baking soda to stop the color change. Treat your copper with a wax or lacquer to preserve the color.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Liver of sulfur, composed of potassium sulfide and related chemicals, reacts with copper to create different colors. While this material is more expensive and potentially more dangerous than the substances used in other methods, this method has the best chance to create a much darker patina. Wash the copper clean with warm, soapy water. Relatively clean copper items, with no oily sheen or stuck-on dirt, may instead by wiped with a clean cloth or treated with a clear household cleaner. Liver of sulfur can be purchased in several forms. Liquid liver of sulfur is pre-diluted, but may have a shelf life of only a few weeks. The gel form and dry form must be mixed with water before use, but if stored properly, they can last much longer. Note that the dry form, also sold as "lump" or "nugget' liver of sulfur, may release dust that can cause harm when inhaled. Put on latex or rubber gloves before handling the liver of sulfur, as it can irritate skin. Work outside or in an area with good air flow, especially if you are working with dry liver of sulfur. Liver of sulfur has a strong, unpleasant smell, which the ventilation will also reduce. If you have safety goggles, wear them.  If liver of sulfur gets on your skin remove clothing to expose the affected area and rinse in running water for fifteen minutes.  If this substance gets on your eyes, rinse in running water for fifteen minutes, occasionally moving your lower and upper eyelids apart to expose more of your eye to the water. Seek medical attention.  If you swallow liver of sulfur, induce vomiting immediately and seek medical attention. Dry liver of sulfur should be gently tapped until you break off a pea-sized nugget; the darker material from the interior of the lump will be more effective. Mix this pea sized nugget with approximately 1 cup (240 mL) of water. Gel or liquid solution should be diluted according to the instructions, as different brands may contain different concentrations of liver of sulfur or already be pre-diluted to the correct strength. Cold...


Follow this easy recipe to create a sweet, glossy paste. Pour the powdered sugar into a large bowl. Pour in a small amount of milk or juice. Stir thoroughly with a spoon. Stir in a little more liquid at a time until there is no dry sugar visible. Finish by mixing in a few drops of vanilla or almond extract.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

You can make this recipe within ten minutes even if you have no measuring cups; it's that easy. The result is sweeter and more liquid than most frostings, so it is ideal on the top of cakes, or in the center of a cake cut into layers. It pairs especially well with light, fruit-flavored cakes, but might be overpowered by rich, thick cakes such as chocolate. You may measure out 2 cups of powdered sugar, or simply pour the amount you think will suit your needs. It is extremely easy to adjust this recipe or make more, so do not feel pressured to keep your measurements exact. Confectioner's sugar or icing sugar are simply other names for powdered sugar. Depending on the flavor you want to add, you may use milk, lemon juice, or any other juice. Measure out 4 tablespoons of the liquid, or simply pour in a small amount, much less than the amount of sugar used. It's better to add too little and add more later than to add too much and have to add a lot more sugar than you intended to use.  If your cake contains fruit, consider adding juice made from that type of fruit. Consider picking a juice based on the color you want your cake to be. Stir gently at first, or the sugar will get knocked over the edge of the bowl and make a mess. Stir until a paste is formed, or until all the liquid has been absorbed by the sugar. Keep adding a little milk or juice at a time and stirring it in. When the mixture reaches an even consistency with no dry sugar on top of the paste, it is ready. Optionally, you may add a little more liquid to make the mixture thinner or to add more of the liquid's flavor. If the mixture becomes runny, however, stir in a little more sugar to compensate. Carefully add a couple drops to your icing, or measure out 1 teaspoon (5mL). Stir it in thoroughly. You are now ready to spread your icing onto the cake with a knife or spoon!


Follow this tradition in Latin Rite and Protestant churches. Lift your right hand.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

This method is more common in the Western Catholic Church, and in Protestant traditions that support the sign of the cross, including most Anglican and Lutheran churches. Many worshippers make the sign of the cross with an open hand, their five fingers reminding them of the five wounds of Christ. Others raise the index and middle fingers together, symbolizing Christ's divine and human natures. The thumb is often bent to touch the ring finger in the two-finger position. Many other hand shapes are also in use. There is no requirement to make a specific hand shape, but most leaders encourage you to follow your congregation's tradition unless you derive a spiritual benefit from another form.


Follow up the serum with No 7 day cream every morning. Wait 15 minutes before you put on makeup.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

The No 7 serum contains several beneficial anti-aging properties but it doesn’t have moisturizing properties. After applying your serum in the morning, stick your finger into a jar of No 7 day cream and scoop out a little bit with your finger. Massage it into your skin to ensure that your face is properly moisturized and protected from the sun. As an alternative, use any face lotion or cream that has an SPF. When applying your serum in the morning, leave your face alone for about 15 minutes or so after you’ve finished your moisturizer. This will allow the moisturizer to set into your skin and properly hydrate your face. After the time is up, you can start putting your makeup on.


Follow up with potential sponsors. Make sure your sponsors are well cared for at the event. Engage your sponsors in a review of the event after it is over.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

After you give your pitch, make sure to follow up with the potential sponsor. Companies receive many potential marketing opportunities every day, and it is easy for your proposal to slip through the cracks. Be persistent enough to stay on their radar, but not so pushy that they want to get rid of you. Ask the sponsors things like “Is anything about our pitch that you found appealing?” and “Are there are any ways that we can sweeten the pot?” Once you secure a partnership, do not leave company representatives alone at an event. Have a plan in place and assign staff to attend to their needs. Sponsors who have a good time and meet their business goals will sponsor your event again. If the sponsors have a booth or physical location at the event, make sure that it is fully serviced by your staff. From the sponsor’s point of view, find out what worked well and what you can improve. This will help you strengthen your relationship with the sponsor and help ensure that they come back next year. Send a note thanking sponsors for their participation, and invite them to attend next year's event.  This can be done through a face-to-face meeting, an email or phone call.


Follow up with your doctor. Avoid fasting and starvation diets. Take your medications as directed. Have surgery, if necessary. Take it easy for two weeks after surgery. Take medicine to dissolve gallstones if you can’t have surgery. Ask if you qualify for shock wave treatment. Discuss the risks and benefits of a gallbladder cleanse with your doctor.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Depending on your history and severity of your gallbladder disease, your doctor will suggest a treatment plan. Your treatment plan can include watchful waiting, diet modifications, medication, shock-wave therapy, or elective surgery. Fasting and starvation diets can make your illness worse because they make your bile even more likely to turn into gallstones. You might need to get IV (intravenous, or into your vein) fluids so you don’t get dehydrated. If you have an infection in your gallbladder, you will need antibiotics. Take them exactly as prescribed. Your doctor may also give you pain medication to make you more comfortable. Use these only as directed, and don’t take more than your doctor tells you to. Cholecystitis often comes back and can sometimes be severe, so you may need surgery to remove your gallbladder. When you have surgery will depend on how serious your symptoms are – sometimes it will be within two days of seeing your doctor, but other times you may be able to wait a little while. If a tumor is causing your gallbladder problems, you will need to have it removed.  Most gallbladder surgeries are done with small instruments and cameras through tiny incisions (laparoscopic surgery), so you won’t even have big scars. You don’t need your gallbladder! Other parts of your body can take over your gallbladder’s job once it’s removed. You should be able to return to your normal activities in about two weeks if you have laparoscopic surgery. In the meantime, take time off of work to rest. Don't drive for the first week. Incorporate slow walking into your day after a few days of rest, and gradually increase your activity. Start eating a normal, healthy diet when you get home from the hospital. Ask your doctor if you have any specific questions about recovery. Ask your doctor for recovery guidelines if you have open surgery. Open surgery requires more extensive recovery than laparoscopic surgery. If you can’t have surgery for some reason, ask your doctor about medications. The medications ursodiol...


Follow up. Pay attention to boundaries. Never kiss anyone who you have any reason to suspect doesn’t want to be kissed by you.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

Just because you kissed someone doesn’t mean that they will assume you want to start a relationship with them. Shortly after the kiss is a good time to establish what you are hoping for. Depending on what you want you could say something like :  That was nice. Can I see you again sometime soon? Are you free to go out to a movie next Thursday? Shall we get out of here? Do you want to come back to my place? I really enjoyed that. We should do it more often. This means both your boundaries and the boundaries of the person you want to kiss. Just because you initiated the kissing, doesn’t mean that you’re obligated to take it further if your partner indicates that they’re interested. Similarly, just because someone is willing to kiss you, or even enjoys kissing you, it doesn’t mean that they will want to take it further. Doing so would be an aggressive sexual advance. If you persist when the person you are trying to kiss has made it clear that he/she does not want to be kissed, then it becomes harassment, and can subject you to legal action. To know whether or not someone doesn’t want to be kissed, pay attention to their body language, and how they are interacting with you as well as any verbal cues. For more information on subtle cues that can let you know the person you want to kiss doesn’t want to be kissed, you can look at How to Know if a Girl Wants to be Kissed. This advice applies almost equally well to people of any gender.


Follow up. Plan for your level of commitment. Do the work and follow through. Ask what you can do for them. Use them as a resource. Thank them. Don’t hound them.

Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.

After you have met with them, send them an email and include a thank you note. You can also mention a reminder of any next steps that the two of you discussed, how they helped you, and any resources you made mention of. If they have agreed to serve as your mentor, then you will now need to begin formalizing your relationship.  Think about the amount of time and commitment that you and your mentor have.  Perhaps you might ask for a lunch meeting that lasts one hour per month or a thirty minute phone call every few months. Once you begin to meet with your mentor or speak to them regularly, they will likely begin imparting invaluable life and career advice to you.  Honor their time and wisdom by following their advice.  If they feel that you never take the advice that they give you, they won’t feel that their role as a mentor is very effective and may want to stop making the effort. Some mentors may come right out and ask you for things like help with their social media accounts.  However, others might not be comfortable asking but might readily accept help if offered.  When receiving help from your mentor, don’t forget to give them help in return.  Always ask “Is there anything that I can do to help you?” or “Would you like some help with that?” If you agree to do something for them, you should follow through on your promise so that they view you as diligent, dependable, and trustworthy. If you are at a crossroads in your academic, career, or life journey, use them for advice on how to proceed.  Perhaps you are considering taking a gap year to backpack through London or are considering turning down a summer internship.  Get their feedback about any potentially important decisions that you might make and allow them to truly mentor you. The work and time of a mentor can truly benefit you in ways that other relationships cannot.  Thank them for all of the help, advice, and connections they have provided you with and realize that you might not have the level of success that you have without them.  Thank them each...
