Answer: Being a model may seem like an exciting and glamorous job, but it actually requires a lot of hard work. It's important to determine whether you will really enjoy the experience before you give up your free time that could be spent playing with friends to commit to modeling. Ask a friend or family to do a practice photo session with you to see if you have fun posing. Practice photo sessions won't just help you decide if you'll enjoy modeling; they can help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera too. Make sure that your friend or family member gives you direction on how you should look in each photo because that's what a professional photographer will do at a modeling photo shoot. For example, your friend might tell you to look calm and thoughtful in one shot and excited in another. Even if you believe that you'll enjoy modeling and posing for the camera, you should also figure out if you have the right temperament for the job. Many kids are shy around strangers when they're young, but if you're modeling, you must be confident and outgoing. You can't be uncomfortable when you're working with new agents, photographers, executives, and other crew at each photo shoot. If you're not sure whether you have the personality for modeling, ask yourself if you really like being the center of attention and are able to be yourself even when you're around people who you don't know very well. It's also important to be able to take direction from others and to have enough patience to remain still for as long as 15 minutes when you're a model. Once you're sure that you'll enjoy modeling and have the personality for it, you should talk to your parents about it. Explain to them why you're interested in modeling. You might tell them that you believe it will allow you to express yourself or that you think it will help you feel more confident. You can even just tell them that you think it will be fun to pose for photos. Just be honest and enthusiastic. It's important to understand that allowing you to model requires a big commitment on your parents' part. They'll have to take you to casting calls and shoots, and wait around with you while you're working so they'll be giving up their time too. If your parents are actually the ones who bring up the idea of modeling, be sure that it's something that you really want to do. Don't let them push you into being model if you're not genuinely interested in it. As a child, you'll need your parents' permission to become a model so you have to get them to agree. They may have concerns about how modeling will affect other parts of your life, so make sure to tell them that school will still be a priority and you'll continue to get all of your chores done. Consider making a deal with your parents that you're only allowed to model if you get certain grades in school and do your part to help around the house. Many states require work permits for children under 18 who work as models or in other entertainment fields. When you meet with agencies, they can help you and your parents figure out what documentation you need to work. Modeling seems like an exciting job, but you should go into the process understanding that it's not all fun and games. It may take hours to get just a handful of shots done, and you'll need to give maximum effort the entire time. Shoots often have a lot of downtime too, which means you will probably be sitting around a lot as you wait to pose. Some clients may try to have their photos shoots during the evenings and weekends, but many jobs will be during the weekday. That means you may have to miss school to model, so if you're already behind in your classes, it may not be the best fit for you. Other photo shoots may require getting up very early and working before school, so make sure you're willing to change your schedule to model. Because of all the waiting around on shoots, you should be sure to bring supplies to keep you busy. You might bring some schoolwork to do or books to read. It's also a good idea to bring your favorite snacks and drinks. Modeling is very competitive, so you're going to go up against many other kids who also want to be models. As a result, finding an agency to work with you and jobs may not be that easy. You can't count on being an instant success or making big money, so you shouldn't go into modeling just for the fame and fortune. Talk to your parents about the expectations for your modeling career. It's important that everyone is on the same page. Many models don't get paid a lot. Some get paid as little as ten dollars an hour.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: 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.

Answer: 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.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider your theme. Think creatively. Choose a nice mix. Be selective. Order your songs carefully.

Answer:
Sometimes a mixtape will just be some of your favorite songs, but a really impressive mixtape has a theme and conveys a message. Think carefully about the person you are making the tape for and what you hope to express to them. Different types of mixtape call for different stylistic approaches. A few of these are covered in greater detail below. A great mixtape may have some familiar songs and some songs that will be new to the recipient. Choose songs you like, and think your loved one will like, but don't be afraid to push their boundaries a little. Less is more! Don't just dump all your favorite songs onto your mixtape unless you are just trying to share some music. If you want to send a message, be spare with your selections. Use only what you need to say what you want, and no more. Putting tracks in the perfect order is part of the art of the mixtape. Consider the narrative, tonal, emotional and musical arc of the mixtape. Craft your songs into a story.
