Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a study guide or the syllabus to make a plan. Review your notes. Have discussion groups. Connect ideas. Try flashcards. Focus your study on the type of test you're taking.

Answer: If you don't have either one, you'll have to use your class notes or textbook to determine your plan. Basically, you need an overview of what you need to cover for the test. You can make an outline by using the main headings in your textbook or using the main concepts you covered before this exam. Once you have all of the concepts you need to cover, set aside a certain amount of time to cover each one, based on the amount of time you want to spend in total covering the exam. You don't need to give equal time to each concept. If you know one concept better than another, focus more time on the one you don't know. If one concept is more complex, it might need more time than other concepts. One of the best ways to study for a test is to review your class material. Read over the notes you've taken in class. Skim through the headings of the chapters you read in the time before this exam to ensure you're covering everything you need to do. However, don't try to re-read chapters, as that will take more time than you have to study for the test. Work with your friends to study more effectively. It's more fun to work in a group, and as long as you stay on topic, it can be very effective. Discussing ideas engages you in the material, making it easier for your to absorb information. For instance, if you're trying to study a book for a test, try using an online study guide to spark discussion with your friends. You can find discussion questions for most classic works of literature. For something like math, try having mini competitions. Take one problem, and see who can solve it the fastest. If someone is having trouble, walk through the problem with him or her to help her understand it. Whether you're doing the explaining or need the explanation, you'll be solidifying the information more quickly. Most people try to learn by using rote memorization; that is, they read something over and over until it sticks. A more effective way to learn is to connect what you're learning now to something you already know. By pulling it in to your web of ideas, you make it stick more quickly. For instance, say you're trying to learn the circulatory system of an animal. You can compare the parts of the body to a train system, where the main train station is the heart, while the big train routes moving away from the station are the arteries and the ones moving to the station are the veins. If you find networking ideas isn't working for you, try flashcards to help your rote memorization. Flash cards help you learn because they force you to repeat the concept over and over. Plus, they allow you to quiz yourself on the topic. Just write a word or something you need to learn on one side, and then write the definition or what's connected to that concept on the other side. Flashcards work best with study concepts that have two parts, such as words and definitions, events and dates, or the name of an equation and the equation. Another way flashcards can help is they allow you to study just what you don't know. Once you've definitely learned a concept or word, you can take it out of the set of cards, focusing your time on learning what you don't know. For instance, if you need to remember dates, flashcards will be more effective. If you're trying to learn how to do problems, working through practice problems is likely the most effective way to study. If you're trying to learn concepts or study literature for an essay exam, working in a group discussion might be the most effective way to study.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Put on a pair of gardening gloves. Raise the eggplant up with 1 hand. Cut the eggplant off close to the stem.

Answer: Gloves will protect your hands from the prickly cap on top of the eggplant. It can also prevent knicks or cuts from the sharp knife or shears that you will use to cut the eggplant. Hold the eggplant with your non-dominant hand. Move it so that you can easily reach the stem growing out of the cap. Raising it up slightly helps you get to the stem. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears. Leave about 1 inch (2.5cm) of the stem on the eggplant. The stems can be very thick and tough, so you should make sure that your knife or shears are very sharp. Do not try twisting or pulling the eggplant off by hand. You may end up damaging the vegetable.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get help from an occupational therapist. Work toward improving fine motor control. Focus on building upper body strength and stability. Set specific self-care and independence goals.

Answer: Occupational therapists specialize in helping people develop skills and strategies for dealing with challenging daily life activities. Ask your child's doctor to recommend an occupational therapist with experience helping kids with cerebral palsy. Talk to the occupational therapist about your child's specific challenges and your expectations for their care. For example, you might say, "Jude is trying to learn to dress himself, but he has trouble pulling a shirt on over his head. Can we work on that?" In addition to helping your child do exercises and develop practical strategies, the occupational therapist might be able to recommend assistive devices that can help your child reach their goals. Children with cerebral palsy often have difficulty with fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, making it difficult for them to do tasks like writing or holding eating utensils. Talk to your child's occupational therapist about setting goals for your child such as: Being able to grasp small objects with their fingers. Learning to perform tasks that require fine motor control, such as pushing a coin into a slot. Doing activities that require hand-eye coordination, such as drawing or playing catch. Many children with CP are limited by a lack of strength and stability in the upper body. Occupational therapy focuses on improving these areas, allowing your child to perform tasks such as dressing themselves or pouring water from a pitcher into a glass. Ask your child's occupational therapist about setting specific strength and stability goals. For example, "Olivia has a hard time brushing her hair because she can't raise her arms very high. What can we do to help her with that?" Your child's occupational therapist can help you set and attain general goals, such as building upper body strength or improving coordination. You and your child can also work with them on developing and achieving more narrowly defined goals. Depending on their age, limitations, and abilities, your child's self-care goals might include things like: Brushing their own teeth. Turning pages in a book without help. Tying their shoelaces. Going to the bathroom or taking a shower unassisted. Preparing food. Using a computer or tablet.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick out your colors.

Answer:
You will need to choose a color for the base and at least two colors for the tips. If you only want the tips to be colored, use a clear or nude polish for the base.

Some options to consider are shades of the same color for the tip, white and gold, and a sparkly and matte color.
