article: Not all situations call for bargaining. A bazaar may be a great place to bargain, but an expensive shopping mall probably isn't. What's acceptable is one place is bad shopping etiquette in another. If you want to know whether it's acceptable to bargain, say something casual like "It's just a little too expensive for me." If the merchant makes a counteroffer, he's effectively opening the door to bargaining, in which case, haggle away. If he stands pat, it's probably not okay to bargain at that location. In most places where haggling or bargaining is common, there's a double standard when it comes to the price tag: What locals pay is often far less than what tourists pay. Even if you find that an alpaca scarf costs 60 for locals but 100 for tourists, don't necessarily expect to be able to bargain down the price of the scarf to 60. Many vendors won't sell the "locals" price to tourists out of principle, although you may be able to get pretty close if you're skilled. This is a tried and true shopping rule that applies to buying things in general. But it especially applies to bargaining. Many bargainers think that if they can cut the price in half, they've gotten a good deal. But many vendors simply triple the first offer in anticipation of this, which means you'd technically be getting a bad deal if you were to buy. If you know what the item is worth to you, it doesn't really matter how the vendor prices his or her item as long as you're happy with the price paid. In many places where it's common to bargain, cash is king. Vendors either won't accept credit cards or will be displeased about them. There are a couple benefits to carrying cash instead of opting for credit: You won't be enticed to splurge on an item because you'll be limited by how much cash you have. Budget ahead of time and you're guaranteed to stick to your budget. Reaching out with a handful of cash and exclaiming "It's all the cash I have" is a good trick that often works. Vendors will be tempted to go ahead and grab the cash in exchange for the item.

Write an article based on this "Read the report prompt or guidelines carefully. Choose a topic you find interesting. Try to pick a topic that is as specific as possible."
article: If your teacher, professor, or boss gave you guidelines for your report, make sure you read them thoroughly to make sure you understand the assignment. Generally, the prompt will give you information such as whether your report should be informative or persuasive, who your audience should be, and any issues your report should address. The guidelines will also typically tell you the requirements for the structure and format of your report. If you have any questions about the assignment, speak up as soon as possible. That way, you don't start working on the report, only to find out you have to start over because you misunderstood the report prompt. Typically, you'll have some leeway in what your report will be on. If you pick a subject you're interested in, you'll be more engaged during the research and the writing process. This often results in a report that's more fun to read, so you'll likely get better feedback or a higher grade. For instance, if your report is supposed to be on a historical figure, you might choose someone you find really interesting, like the first woman to be governor of a state in the U.S., or the man who invented Silly Putty. Even if you don't have the option to choose your topic, you can often find something in your research that you find interesting. If your assignment is to give a report on the historical events of the 1960s in America, for example, you could focus your report on the way popular music reflected the events that occurred during that time. If you write about too broad of a topic, your report will seem disorganized, since you'll be trying to cover too much information all at once. On the other hand, your topic shouldn't be so narrow that you can't find anything to write about. Try to find one aspect of the topic that has a lot of supporting details. If you're not sure what to write about at first, pick a larger topic, then narrow it down as you start researching. For instance, if you wanted to do your report on World Fairs, then you realize that there are way too many of them to talk about, you might choose one specific world fair, such as the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, to focus on. However, you wouldn't necessarily want to narrow it down to something too specific, like "Food at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition," since it could be hard to find sources on the subject without just listing a lot of recipes.

Write an article based on this "Heat the sugar in a saucepan. Stir the sugar constantly until it melts. Add the butter and stir until it melts."
article:
Add 1 cup (200 g) of granulated sugar to a medium size saucepan with a heavy bottom. Turn the burner to medium to allow the sugar to start to heat. A 2 quart (1.9 L) saucepan is usually large for the sauce. Make sure that your saucepan is clean before your start making the sauce. If there is any dirt or debris in it, crystals can form around it when you begin heating the sugar. As the sugar is heating, use a heat-resistant rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir it constantly. The sugar will start to clump, and eventually melt into a liquid. Continue stirring it until the liquid is thick and turns a dark amber color, which can take 5 to 10 minutes. The sugar can burn easily, so be sure to watch it and stir continuously. When the sugar has melted into an amber colored liquid, mix 6 tablespoons (90 g) of salted butter that's been cut into pieces into the pan. Allow the butter to heat until it melts into the sugar, which typically takes 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the mixture regularly to help the butter melt. When you add the butter to the sugar, the caramel mixture will bubble rapidly. Be careful to avoid burning yourself. You can use unsalted butter in the sauce if you prefer. No other changes need to be made to the recipe.
