Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Clean the pond in the spring. Scoop out debris on the surface of the pond. Drain the pond. Remove the koi if your pond is small. Take out the pond pump and any water accessories. Let the sun dry the empty pond for one hour.

Answer: The best time to clean your koi pond is at the beginning of spring, when the pond has started to thaw from the winter. Try to plan for an annual pond clean at the beginning of spring when the weather starts to warm up, your koi become more active, and the water is not yet full of bacteria and algae. You can do a fall cleaning if you are not able to clean the pond during the spring. In the fall, your pond may become full of fallen leaves and debris as the trees change, so you may think about doing a clean. However, you should try to maintain the koi pond during the spring, summer, and fall so the once a year clean is easier to do. Get the pond ready for draining and washing by using the skimmer net to remove any debris on the pond's surface. Try to scoop out all the leaves, branches, and twigs floating on the surface. This will make draining and cleaning the pond easier. You can use the pond pump to drain the water. Make sure you send the water into an area of your yard that has good drainage. Pumping out the water will make it easier to clean the sludge and debris at the bottom of the tank. As you pump out the water, make sure you leave about one foot of water at the bottom of the pond so your fish can swim around. You can then leave your koi in the pond as you wash the pond and clean out any debris. You may decide to leave the koi in the pond if your pond is large and you do not want to deal with taking out all the koi. If you decide to remove your koi from the pond, you should pump out about one foot of water into the holding container meant for your fish. This way, you can transfer the fish into the container in water that they are used to swimming in to avoid shocking them. If you have a small koi pond and you want to give it a complete clean, you can remove your koi from the pond. This is a messy task, so you should wear old clothing and be prepared to get your hands dirty. Use the skimmer net to scoop the koi out and place them gently in the holding container of pond water. Once you have all the koi in the container, you should cover the container with netting or a breathable lid so the koi do not jump out. Place the container in a shaded area in your yard, away from sunlight. This will ensure the koi stay healthy and happy while you clean the pond. You should give the pond pump a rinse with the pond water and run the filter through the pond water until it is clean if the pump is not self cleaning. Do not use tap water to clean the filter, as this can destroy the good bacteria in the filter. You should also take out all water accessories in the pond, like water plants or water features. You can then place the plants in a shaded area of your yard and cover them with newspaper to protect them. You should place underwater plants in a container of clean water. If you have any water features in your pond that are made of non-natural materials, such as plastic items, you can use a toothbrush to scrub and clean them so they are ready to go back into the pond once it is clean. Once you have emptied out the pond, you can take a one hour break and let the sun dry out any newly exposed algae in the pond. This will make it easier for you to get rid of debris and algae once you actually wash out the pond.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stay up to date on current news. Expand your perspective. Communicate clearly Resolve conflicts effectively Mind your language.

Answer: It's important to be knowledgeable about the world and people around you. Study current events, politics, pop culture, history, and the arts. Get your news from a variety of sources so that you can get a comprehensive idea of what is really going on, and find out as much as you can about a subject before forming an opinion. For example, read reports on a candidate from their own political party as well as from their opposing political party. Read a variety of newspapers and novels, listen to different styles of music, and go to performances in a wide range of genres (ballet, rodeo, cirque du soleil, opera, river dancing, comedy, etc.). Visit different places in the world, if possible, and interact with people from different countries and cultures. . Be an active listener and try to understand other people's point of view. When you have something to share, speak eloquently and directly, and try to make your meaning and message as clear as possible. Remember to enunciate and speak slowly, rather than rushing. . If you have an issue with someone, bring it up with them directly, rather than discussing the issue with others, gossiping, or perpetuating rumors. Put yourself in the other person's shoes and try to understand their perspective. If you make a mistake, apologize sincerely. For example, say, "Victoria, I'm sorry for being harsh with you this morning. I was stressed about the upcoming deadline and shouldn't have taken it out on you. Will you accept my apology?" Don't swear, use vulgar language, or tell crude jokes, as these things are far from elegant. Refrain from saying things that might offend or hurt someone else. It's also a good idea to expand your vocabulary so that you'll always have the right word ready on the tip of your tongue.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make one long horizontal line across the bottom of the bag. Call your dog over and command him to stay. Hold the plastic bag against your dog's body. Cut the marked lines on the plastic bag. Place the poncho on your dog.

Answer:
This cut line will open the bag up on the long side so you can drape the bag over your dog's body. The long strip of plastic will then act as the belt to keep the poncho attached to your dog. Using a cut line across the bag, starting from the closed end to the open end, will reduce the time it will take to get your dog's legs into the poncho. Rather than have to make four holes in the bag for his four legs, you can simply place the poncho over your dog so his body and legs are covered by the bag. To make sure the poncho fits your dog properly, you will need to get your dog to stay in one spot and remain still as you measure the bag against his body. If your dog doesn't like to remain in one spot for an extended period of time, you can use small treats to encourage him to stay still for at least three to five minutes. This will help you measure the dimensions of the poncho so it fits your dog properly. Hold the marker in the other hand as you note where you are going to cut the plastic bag. Using your dog as a marker, draw a half circle shape on the top corner of the bag, along the closed part of the bag, so your dog's neck and head can fit through the poncho. Make sure the circle is big enough to fit your dog's head and neck comfortably. You will then need to draw a longer half circle on the back end of the bag so there is enough room for your dog's bum and tail. Use your dog's body as a marker to ensure the longer half circle is big enough for your dog. Once you have your cut lines, place the plastic bag on the ground or on a table and cut along the marked lines. Once you have cut the poncho to fit your dog's measurements, place it on your dog so your dog's body is covered by the poncho. It should drape over him like a sheet. His tail, neck, and head should all remain outside of the poncho and go through the half circles you made on the bag. Take the long strip of plastic and wrap it around your dog's belly, securing the poncho to your dog. Tie the strip several times so the strip is snug and not too tight around your dog. Let your dog walk around to make sure the poncho is comfortable for him and easy to move in. You can then put on your own poncho and head out for a walk.
