Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Send or give flowers at unexpected times. Reflect who she is by your choice of flowers. Write something special on the card.

Answer: Getting a gift of flowers to mark a special moment in your relationship or for no reason at all is especially appreciated. It shows that you are generous and thoughtful and that she is indeed special. Choose flowers in her favorite color. Send the type of flowers she likes best; perhaps she prefers daisies over roses. Or evoke a favorite memory with your gift: a vase of baby rosebuds to remind her of time spent as a child, tending to a rose garden with her mother. Consult with a florist about her personality. The flowers you choose for a sophisticated city woman, for instance, might differ from those you pick for a woman who loves to camp and hike. The card will last far longer than the flowers, but will always remind her of the gift from your heart.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Clearly state your goal. Bargain. Ask for a delayed response. Understand your parent's argument. Re-evaluate.

Answer: Thoroughly explain what it is you hope to get and why you hope to get it. Depending on the nature of the subject, you can ask your parents to hear your entire argument before responding. If they agree, then you can lay out your goal, present your evidence, anticipate their counter points or concerns, and then conclude. Hopefully, your parents will hear you out until you are finished. If not, you'll need to be able to present your points in the form of a conversation. Make your point. Hear their counterpoint and then rebut. Don't lose your cool. Don't resort to condescension or screaming. Don't just take from your parents. Give back. Since you are asking a favor of them, it would be nice, if you offered something in return. Your parents want to see you be happy, but they also have to get other things done. The strongest strategy for bargaining with your parents is offering to do chores. If you want to borrow the car over the weekend, offer to do chores at home or around town. Make your request worth more to them than just making you happy. If they feel like they are making you happy and getting something else out of it, they'll be more likely to acquiesce to your request. "Don't answer yet." "Just think about it. No rush. Get back to me when it is convenient." No one likes being put on the spot, especially if it concerns a more serious request or issue. Your parent's gut reaction will be to say "No". To avoid getting a rejection immediately, give your parent some time to decide and to consult with your other parent. This will also show your parents that you are mature and not impetuous. This tactic only works with requests that aren't time specific. If you need to borrow the car this weekend. You don't want to put off getting your parent's answer because then you won't have time to secure other transportation. If, for example, you want to get a new pet, this strategy might work better. Because getting a new pet is such a commitment, it is best to not rush your parents into it. If you want to retort or convince your parents of your side, you'll need to discount their argument. So even if they say "no" this doesn't mean that they'll always say "no". Ask for an explanation. Hopefully, your parent won't just play the parent card "because I said so". Hopefully, they'll explain their side of the debate. If they do, try to understand what is driving their reasoning. Then make counter-arguments or proposals that undercut those arguments and support your own. For example, if your parents say no to getting a new dog based on the premise that you are not responsible enough, find ways to show them otherwise. Start behaving more responsibly and when they notice, bring up getting a new dog again. "Look I am responsible. Now that you recognize my ability to be responsible, can we get a dog?" Remember that one of the best ways to counter a parent's argument is through your actions. There may be other ways of convincing your parents. Take a moment to regroup and to re-evaluate alternate strategies. You might conclude to let it go. Hopefully, you've succeeded, but if you haven't, your desire to convince your parent might wane. It might not be worth it to you any more to convince your parent. Some parents won't think about changing their opinions once their mind is set. If this is the case, you may have to consider alternative avenues to getting what you want. For example, if your parents refuse to help you buy a car, you will need to get a job and save your money to buy one yourself.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose your accommodations carefully. Use a mosquito net. Keep doors and windows closed. Wear long pants and sleeves. Use mosquito spray. Stay inside between dusk and dawn if possible.

Answer:
When planning your trip, try to choose places to stay that have fewer mosquitoes. If possible, stay in screened quarters or quarters with air conditioning. In general, the best areas to stay in are cooler areas away from any stagnant water. Stagnant water serves as a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Stagnant water sources such as lakes or non-running streams are especially prone to mosquitoes. Mosquito nets are lightweight, tightly-woven nets that keep mosquitoes out of your tent or bed at night. Set the net up over your sleeping area each night before you go to sleep. You can also use them to cover any open windows or doors. Since you may not be able to find a mosquito net where you're going, buy one to take with you when you travel. Get dressed inside your mosquito net in the morning. Make sure to check it regularly for tears. You might want to bring an extra net as a backup. Buy mosquito nets treated with permethrin for the best protection. If possible, you should keep doors and windows tightly sealed while you're indoors. People who sleep outside or are exposed to the outdoors at night are at much higher risk of contracting malaria. You may not be able to close the doors and windows if you're in a very hot, muggy place. Whether you can or not, use a mosquito net over your bed for added protection. You'll reduce the number of mosquito bites you get if you wear long pants and sleeves while you're out and about during the day. Bring high-quality lightweight clothing that will allow your body to breathe while protecting you from bites. Choose the mosquito spray that's most effective in the area where you're traveling. Talk to your doctor about your options and to get recommendations. If you have children, consult their pediatrician about what types and strengths are safe for use on children. In almost all areas where malaria is present, DEET is the most commonly used compound. DEET is a chemical compound known as N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, or just diethyltoluamide. This repellent comes in many different concentrations, from 4% to 100%. However, concentrations over 50% do not provide meaningful added protection. Apply the spray to your clothing and the room where you're staying for best results. Combining insect sprays with permethrin-treated clothing and gear offers the best protection. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) provides guidelines for the use of DEET. Read them carefully before using this product. Improper usage can lead to health problems. Try to plan activities that permit you to be in protected areas between dusk and dawn. The mosquito that transmits malaria is most active at night.
