Q: If you're sending out hundreds of Christmas cards, it may be necessary to type out the addresses in order to save time. However, if it's manageable, personalize your Christmas cards by writing the addresses by hand. Postal services such as the USPS prefer that you use all caps, whether writing or typing the address. Remember that neatness counts! Use your beautiful cursive writing inside the letter and stick to block capital letters on the envelope. While it's a nice touch to write your return address by hand as well, it's also fine to use pre-printed address labels with a holiday theme. Make sure your return address is correct and easy to read, however. Your return address typically goes in the top left corner of the envelope, but this may vary based on where you're sending the letter. Always include a return address. It makes it less likely that your card will be permanently lost in the mail, and it lets your recipient know who sent the card before they even open it. See if your postal service has holiday themed stamps for sale. Writing extra things like "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" on the envelope may delay delivery of your Christmas card. Place only the necessary address information on it so it's easier for the postal service to sort and deliver. The same goes for pictures of sleigh bells, Christmas trees, Nativity scenes, and the like. Extra writing and images can confuse both machine readers and human sorters.
A: Write the address neatly by hand to personalize your card. Use festive return address labels, if desired. Avoid adding unnecessary images or wording to the front of the envelope.

Article: A declarative sentence is a statement made directly by the speaker to the listener. It conveys information directly. For example, the following are examples of declarative sentences: The cat sits on the mat. I started to laugh. That cloud looks like a fish. Declarative sentences are different from other types of sentences. In order to better understand grammar and writing, learn to identify other common types of sentences. Some of these include: Interrogative: This type of sentence is used to pose a question (e.g., "Will you drive me home?") Imperative: This type of sentence is used for delivering orders or directives (e.g., "Get on the bus.") Exclamatory: This type of sentence is expressed in such a way as to convey excitement or exclamation. It is usually indicated by the punctuation at the end of the sentence, typically in the form of an exclamation point (e.g., "How nice you are!"). At its core, the declarative sentence is very basic. There is a noun and a verb in the sentence. The sentence can have other elements, such as adjectives, adverbs and other words. But the simplest form is just a noun and verb. The verb in a declarative sentence can be in any tense form (present, future, past, etc.). Declarative sentences can be any length. They can convey very basic, simple information (such as: "I ate a hot dog."), or they can convey lots of complex information (such as: "The movie represented women in a positive light, particularly when the main female character defused the bomb in the car."). The sentence is declarative if it makes a statement, rather than asking a question, giving an order, or making an exclamation.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Identify a declarative sentence. Distinguish different types of sentences. Understand the parts of a declarative sentence. Don't get confused by the length of the sentence.

Problem: Article: Depending on how advanced you're willing to take your needle felting, there are many types of needles that will strengthen your practice. You can create your own needle apparatus so that it is more similar to a writing utensil. You can also create various types of devices that have multiple needles. Some devices have as much as four needles in them for those initial compressions. There are plenty of different options online if you do not feel like constructing your own device. There are plenty of different fibers that all function for different purposes. This may be where you look into online suppliers, unless your local craft store carries various types of sheep wool or alpaca. Explore some of these options: Batting wool is ideal for creating sculptures. Roving wool is similar to batting, but it is better suited for thin shapes like ropes rather than wide sheets. Prefelt wool can be used as a clothing garment to your sculptures, but shouldn't be used as any type of base. For some of your ideas simple compression using your felting needle may not be enough. In some cases you'll need to use a more traditional string and needle stitching technique to secure your designs. This should only be used if you are concerned with the weight distribution of your design. To create malleable designs sometimes you'll need to use a wire as a support base for the structure. Get creative with different materials that you could form wool around. For instance, you could use a foam ball as a base. Doing this could save you time and wool. If you know you are going to make a lot of hearts, then invest in a cookie cutter shaped heart. It will save you time and effort by having a ready-made outline. Some craft stores will even have a selection of shapes used for needle felting.
Summary: Improve your needle. Vary your fiber. Incorporate stitching. Use wires and other supplies. Use cookie cutters.

Q: There are many different ways to do the tutorial and many different philosophies about the best way to go about it. You can hide the tutorial within a story about the player character getting training (aka Fable), or you can simply display instructions (aka Mass Effect). You can even try to hide the tutorial altogether blending it seamlessly into the game or display all of the tutorial all at once. No matter what you do, make sure that it feels natural within your game. The world is the environments in which your player will play the game. How expansive will your world be? How challenging? How will you indicate that an area should be explored? That it shouldn't? These are things you'll need to consider. These are the internal rules of the game. You'll want to decide on a rule system and make sure that it's balanced and consistent. The best way to do this is to look at what other games do right or wrong in this area. The levels are the individual chunks of the game, the "episodes" that the player has to get through to make it to the end of the game. The levels should be engaging and just the right amount of challenging. They should also be physically laid out in a way that makes sense. You'll need to design all the content, like the items that can be interacted with, the characters themselves, the environmental items, etc. This can be extremely time consuming so plan ahead! Try to find clever ways to recycle things without making them seem repetitive. The interface includes things like the menus and UI. You want these to be easy to navigate and natural to use. Take cues from your favorite games but remember that generally the simpler the better. If an 8-year-old can figure it out, you're set. Having controls which feel natural are key to players really enjoying and getting the most out of your game. Remember to keep things simple and streamlined. When in doubt, conform to standardized control systems.
A:
Design the tutorial. Design the world. Design the mechanics. Design your levels. Design the content. Design the interface. Design the controls.
