Q: Avoid vague language or general statements, as they will not be useful for the reader. Instead, use language that is simple and clear so the article is accessible for all readers. Keep your sentences no longer than 2-3 lines and break up any sentences that are too long or run-on. For example, rather than write, "The missing girl's mother thought it had to do with school," you may write, "The missing girl's mother thought bullying at school may have caused her daughter's absences." The active, rather than passive, voice places the subject of the sentence first, making it more immediate and informative. Most newspaper articles are written in the third person so they remain objective and do not present a personal or subjective perspective. For example, rather than write, "A press conference will be held by local police tomorrow to address the missing girls and the public's concerns," you may write, "Local police will address the missing girls and the public's concerns in a press conference tomorrow." A newspaper article should not show any bias or have any stated opinions about the topic. Instead, it should present a factual account of the event or incident. Avoid using hyperbolic language and do not exaggerate any details in the article. For example, if you're writing about two political candidates running against each other in an election, present both candidates in an equal light, rather than giving extra details about 1 candidate.
A: Use specific, clear language that is easy to follow. Write in the active, third person voice. Maintain an objective, informative tone in the article.

Article: Try to do this in person instead of on the phone. Wait for him to have a few moments alone, or text him saying you need to talk to him about something and plan a time and place to meet. Having the conversation privately, especially when his girlfriend isn't around, will help you talk about your feelings without feeling pressure or extra nervousness. Avoid having this conversation over text, as you don't want his girlfriend or anyone else to find the texts and read them. You might text him, "Do you have time to grab a quick coffee this afternoon?" or go up to him when he's alone and say, "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Instead of immediately admitting your feelings, ask him about his day or talk about something you both have in common to start a more natural conversation. This will make you less nervous and help the conversation flow more naturally. You might say, "Thanks for meeting with me, I know you just had a kickball game. How did it go?" You don't need to chat about things for too long, but asking a question about his day or telling him something about yours is a good way to help you both feel more comfortable. This is your time to tell him how to feel, to get your feelings off of your chest. Be honest about how you like him, but realize that he's still in a relationship and might not give you a response. After you admit your feelings, you'll likely feel much more free to move on. You might say, "I know you have a girlfriend, but I needed you to know that I really like you. It's okay if you don't respond, I just wanted to get it off my chest." If you think you'll be able to maintain a platonic friendship even after telling him, you might say, "Even though I told you how I feel, I'd really like it if we could still be friends." Whether he says he likes you or he doesn't, it's best to set up boundaries so you don't interfere with his relationship anymore. If he does like you, make it clear to him that he needs to respect you and his girlfriend by being honest and making a choice. If he doesn't like you, distance yourself from him and avoid any flirty behavior to respect his relationship and help you move on. If he doesn't respond at all, take this as a sign that he doesn't like you back and try to move on. If he does like you, now the ball is in his court and it's his turn to make a move. For example, you might say, "Thanks for telling me how you feel. I think it would be best if we didn't talk for a while to put some space between us."
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Find a time to talk to him when he's not around others. Ease into the moment by starting with a simple conversation. Tell him your feelings honestly without expecting him to answer. Set boundaries for the two of you depending on how he responds.

Q: Dictionaries are critical tools for learning any language, and ASL is no exception. A good dictionary will allow you to look up signs you don't understand, as well as give you something to study. Look for a dictionary with easy-to-understand illustrations and descriptions. Try using an online dictionary, where you can see videos of the signs being produced. A classroom setting will give you multiple people to practice signing with, as well as feedback on your performance. Many colleges will allow you to take a class without enrolling. Check with your local school to see what programs they might offer. Community programs such as local libraries and recreational centers will often offer ASL classes for those that are interested. While a dictionary will show you how to sign every word or phrase, a study guide will get you signing in a more practical fashion. A study guide will provide more instruction than a dictionary, and will help you learn basic conversations as well as sentence structure. The internet can provide a wealth of information about signing, how to sign, Deaf culture, and more. There are many sites that contain video tutorials posted by professional ASL instructors. The ASLU is a great resource for new learners. Each entry has a video by professional instructors. Handspeak is another good video resource and online dictionary. YouTube is host to a variety of self-published videos on signing. Just remember that with anything online, anyone can make something regardless of whether or not they actually know what they are doing. Be wary of misinformation and improper techniques. With the advent of smartphones, carrying a dictionary and study guide around with you has never been easier. Both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store have multiple options to choose from, ranging from free to a few dollars. Apps can be great for quick references, and some include video along with instructions. There are study guides and dictionaries, so try out a couple until you find ones that work for you. Look for apps that have a high number of 4 & 5 star reviews. Browse through some user reviews to see how helpful the app has been for other people.
A:
Invest in a good sign language dictionary. Take a class from a deaf instructor. Buy a few study guides. Look for resources online. Download an app.
