Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lie to let her down easy. Don't blame an outside element. Be nice.

Answer: Depending on the situation, you may choose to address her interest by being dishonest. While lying is usually not a good choice, you may feel as though it's the best way to avoid hurting her feelings. If you will continue to see her or have other social ties, being dishonest may not be advisable. Only lie if you really feel as though it's the best way to convey your disinterest. Remember that it isn't only what you say that matters, but the way you say it. Telling someone you have feelings for them can be scary, so be sensitive to how exposed she may feel. Be careful not to use explanations that could lead her on. If she is persistent, suggesting that there's a finite reason you can't be together could leave her feeling as though she should call you again after some time has passed. Saying things like, "I just went through a bad break up," or "I'm not ready to date right now," suggests that there is a timeline in which you may be available. Avoid excuses that have an expiration date. Saying that you're very busy with school or work "right now" also insinuates that there could be potential for a relationship in the future. If you are going to stretch the truth to let her know you're not interested, do so in a positive way that is also clear and definitive. Use reasons that aren't insulting or offensive to her. If you are friends, say that you "don't want to ruin your friendship" or something similar. Doing so can demonstrate that you do care about her, but not in a romantic way. Tell her that you are in a committed relationship. It's an easy way of explaining your way out of a situation that leaves no feelings hurt.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Deliver your best work on every job. Finish your tasks on time. Develop your skills. Be patient.

Answer: Remember that your employers won't care whether you have children or if you have other obligations: they just want the job done well. Deliver a professional product. Many freelancing sites allow employers to rate your work. You'll need this rating to be high if you want to get more jobs. Make sure that your employer receives your work at the designated time. Lateness comes across as irresponsible, no matter what the circumstances were. Strive to make your writing better and better and to expand your areas of expertise. If English is not your first language, work to master it. Freelance writers frequently need to write in English. Learn about new subjects. Yes, it is best to write about what you know, but remember you can work to know more and more! Do research on fields that seem to be in high demand. It can take time to build a reputation as a freelance writer. Keep taking the jobs you are offered, and keep doing your best work. With time and persistence, you will gain the approval of your employers and score higher ratings on freelance websites.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash the plums. Blanch the plums. Peel off the skins. Pit and chop the plums. Toss the plum pieces with lemon juice.

Answer: Rinse the plums under cool running water, scrubbing gently with your fingers to remove any surface debris. You should also sort through the plums and remove any small bits of stems, leaves, or other contaminants. Toss out any soft, mushy fruit. Only use plums that are fresh and ripe for your jam. Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil over high heat, then quickly dunk the plums in the boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer the blanched plums to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. You only need to blanch the plums if you plan on removing the skins. Skins can be included in the jam, if desired, but may give your preserves a chewier texture. Pinch the skin of each plum in between your fingers and slide it off the fruit. If the plums are ripe, you should be able to remove the skins without difficulty. Unripe plums may need a longer blanching time before you can remove their skins. Cut the plums in half and dig out the pits with a spoon. Continue chopping the plums into small pieces. As you chop up the plums, discard any brown spots or mushy portions. Note that you could also grind the fruit or chop it into slightly larger pieces if you would prefer the jam to be smoother or chunkier, respectively. Place the plum pieces in a large mixing bowl and add the lemon juice. Toss the plums with the lemon juice until well-coated. The lemon juice isn't strictly necessary, but using it will help prevent the plums from browning as you work.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Raise the defense of the "fair use doctrine. Research available statutory defenses. Assert that the original work is now in the public domain.

Answer:
" "Fair use" is a legal term that says some uses of copyrighted material are allowable, even without the owner's permission. This usually includes the use of a portion of the work for criticism, news reporting or teaching. For the use of a work to be considered within fair use, the use must be limited in scope, generally for a non-commercial purpose, and must not interfere with the widespread potential market of the original work. Copyright law is a federal system of statutes, and the statutes include several defenses that allow for use of a copyrighted work. Some of these include reproduction by libraries, educational use by teachers, and others. These statutory defenses of the copyright law appear at 17 U.S.C. 107-122. You are not likely to get a demand letter from William Shakespeare for wrongfully using part of Romeo and Juliet, but it is possible that you may get a demand letter for using part of a work that is in the public domain. Copyrighted works are protected, approximately, for the life of the author and an additional 70 years. Beyond that, the work becomes available in the public domain and is free to be used.
