Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wait for the envelope to dry. Lick the glue and seal it as normal. Re-seal with steam. Gently push the sticky strip back down. Take it out of the steam and hold it closed. Use a little glue.

Answer: If you are trying to steam open an envelope, you probably want to know how to go about re-sealing it again. First of all wait for the glue melted by the steam to cool and re-gain it's stickiness. The first thing to try is simply licking the adhesive strips and closing the envelope as you would normally. The glue should have re-gained it's tackiness and you should be able just press it closed. Bear in mind that you may have to hold the strip down for a little longer than usual to get it to stick. Another way to reseal the envelope is to put the adhesive side of the flap back in the steam briefly. Get your water back to the boil and hold your envelope over the boiling water for around twenty seconds. While you hold it over the water, run your finger along the adhesive strip to close it down. Be careful not to crease it or allow too much stream to wet the envelope. Now remove the envelope from above the water and place down on a table or surface and apply pressure to the adhesive strip. You may have to hold it down for thirty seconds or so, or you could put something heavy like a book on top of it. Soon it should be re-seal and ready to go. If it does not all reseal on the first try put it back in the steam briefly and press it together lightly. Make sure not to rub the envelope, because when it is damp it may rub and tear. If all else fails, don't panic! You can use some Elmer's glue, but make sure that you spread it around very well so that it looks like a normal envelope. You don't want to have some areas with glue marks staining the envelope, or soggy gluey patches. A light even covering should do the trick.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Plan ahead. Pick a good time to talk. Explain what you want and why. Avoid arguing or whining. Try to understand your parents' perspective. Take "No" for an answer, for now.

Answer: Before trying to talk to your parents, do some research ahead of time. Research stores that have good prices. Oftentimes, it's the cost of a game console that is a major concern. If you can find a PlayStation for a lower cost, your parents may be more willing to buy you one. You should also think about what you want to say to your parents. You can also sign up for store emails to receive alerts and notifications when stores are having sales. You may want to wait until a console goes on sale to ask your parents about getting a PlayStation. Look around for the best possible price. Think ahead a little bit. You can write down why you want a PlayStation and why you think you deserve it. It can be stressful to ask your parents about a major purchase, so some planning ahead can help. Talk about how you're a responsible student and generally do your chores and follow rules. Explain how you would enjoy having a game console of your own. If you want to increase your changes of getting a "Yes," pick a good time to talk. A PlayStation is a big purchase and your parents will have a lot of questions and concerns. Asking them when they're already busy is a bad idea. You can talk to your parents at times when you're both free. When they're driving you home from school, for example, you could bring up the issue. You could also ask them after dinner. Ask if it's a good time to talk first. Even if you don't realize it yourself, your parents may be busy or stressed. Say something like, "Mom, I want to ask you about something. Is now a good time?" Let your parents know why you want a PlayStation. Be direct and let them know that it's something you really want. You do not want to beat around the bush. It's best to ask, and then explain your reasons. State your case right away. Start the conversation with something like, "I've been really wanting a PlayStation for a long time. Do you think it's something you guys would consider buying for me?" Your parents care about you and want to understand you. They probably dislike conflict as much as you do. Therefore, explain why you want the PlayStation. Pick reasons that will appeal to your parents. "I think it'll be really fun" may sound like a petty reason. Instead, try saying something like, "I work really hard at school and in my extracurriculars. I think I would benefit from having a new hobby." It may be helpful to assure your parents you'll use the device responsibly. Say something like, "I promise I'll only play after I'm done with my homework. If you want, I can agree to only play for an hour or two a day." Your parents might say, "No." A PlayStation is an expensive purchase. Your parents may have good reasons to hesitating to buy you one. Arguing or whining about the issue will only serve to annoy your parents. Your parents also may think you're behaving in an immature fashion, which does not help your case. If you get a, "No," say something like, "I understand your concerns. Maybe we can talk again another time." If your parents say "No" or have certain reservations, try to understand their point of view. If you're willing to understand where your parents are coming from, they'll return that respect. They'll try to understand your perspective as well. Genuinely listen to your parents' reasons or concerns. They may be worried about violence in video games. They may worry about you wasting your time when you could be studying. Many parents believe children are better off without video games. It's not uncommon for parents to have certain reservations. Respond respectfully to their concerns. Explain to them ways you'll make sure those concerns do not become an issue. For example, say your parents are worried about the level of violence in video games. Respond with something like, "I definitely understand why that would be a concern for you. I would be open to allowing you to screen the games I pick. If there's anything you feel is inappropriate, I'll go with a different game." In the event your parents do say no, accept the answer. Arguing or complaining will only frustrate your parents. If you're respectful of their decision, this shows maturity. They may soften them. In a few months, try bringing up the issue again. Say something like, "I know you said 'No' last time, but I still really want a PlayStation. Would you be willing to reconsider."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut a strip of fabric that's 1 inch (2.5cm) longer than the circumference. Pin the casing just below the waistline you marked on the dress.

Answer:
Lay about 2 to 4 feet (0.61 to 1.22m) of fabric that matches your dress on a work surface. Then, cut the fabric to a 134in (4.4cm) wide strip that's 1 inch (2.5cm) longer than the measurement for the waistline circumference. For example, if your waistline measured 38 inches (97cm), cut the strip 39 inches (99cm) long and 134in (4.4cm) wide. Wrap the casing you just made right below the line you marked on the dress. Line up the ends of the casing with a seam that's on the inside-out dress. Depending on your dress, you could line it up with a side seam or a seam that runs down the back of the dress. Then, secure the casing with sewing pins. Try to pin every 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) so the casing doesn't slide around.
