Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the numbers up to five. Follow up with six through ten. Try eleven through twenty. Practice the numbers.

Answer: Start with just a few numbers to get a feel for Italian. Pay attention to how the numbers are spelled, but focus on their pronunciation. Stressed (accented) syllables are in all caps: 0 zero (TSEH-ro) 1 uno (OO-no) 2 due (DOO-eh) 3 tre (TREH) 4 quattro (KWAHT-tro) 5 cinque (CHEEN-kweh) Once you have the first few numbers down, you're ready to learn up to ten. Make sure to pay attention to the number ten, which is the first to have three syllables (and the stress on the second). 6 sei (SEH-ee) 7 sette (SET-teh) 8 otto (OHT-toh) 9 nove (NOH-veh) 10 dieci (dee-EH-chee) After you've mastered the first few numbers in Italian, you'll have a good sense for how the language sounds. The numbers eleven through twenty are a bit longer, but you can see that parts of them will sound very similar to the numbers 1-10 (undici, or "eleven," for example, sounds a lot like uno plus dieci, or one plus ten). 11 undici (OON-dee-chee) 12 dodici (DOH-dee-chee) 13 tredici (TREH-dee-chee) 14 quattordici (kwaht-TOR-dee-chee) 15 quindici (KWEEN-dee-chee) 16 sedici (SEH-dee-chee) 17 diciassette (dee-chahs-SET-teh) 18 diciotto (dee-CHOHT-toh) 19 diciannove (dee-chahn-NOH-veh) 20 venti (VEN-tee) Using the numbers as often as possible will help them stick in your memory. Regular practice will also help you feel more comfortable speaking Italian. Try a combination of techniques to use the numbers, such as: Making flashcards and quizzing yourself Counting everyday objects, like coins or grapes Using Italian numbers whenever you have to do mental math Playing games, like Uno, that let you easily say the numbers in Italian.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: File in one direction Leave your cuticles alone. Use tools instead of your nails. Let your nails breathe. Go for rounded edges instead of square tips.

Answer: . Filing your nails in a back and forth motion can create tiny tears in the nail and this may lead to breakage. To prevent this from happening, make sure that you file your nails in one direction only. Apply gentle pressure to your nail with the file. Then, move the file in one direction. After you reach the end of the file, take the file away from your nail and return it to the starting point. Cutting your cuticles can introduce bacteria into your nail beds. These bacteria can cause an infection in your nails. This may irritate your nails and even lead to nail loss. Instead of cutting your cuticles, try pushing them back with an orange tipped cuticle stick. Apply some cuticle oil to soften them first and then use the tip of the orange tipped cuticle stick to gently push back your cuticles. Soaking your cuticles in a little warm water will also help to soften them and keep them healthy. Part of the reason why nails break is because people use them to do things that they are not suited for, such as opening cans of soda. To prevent breakage, avoid using your nails as tools. Use the right tool for the job instead. For example, if you are trying to open a package, don't use your nails to peel off the tape. Get a pair of scissors and use them to cut open the package instead. It is also a good idea to wear vinyl or latex gloves whenever you wash dishes, clean, or do other things that might expose your nails to water and chemicals. In some cases, the best way to rehab your nails is to let them breathe for a while. Try going without any nail polish or other products on your nails for a few weeks (or months, depending on how damaged your nails are). This will give your nails a chance to repair themselves. While you are letting your nails breathe, you can buff and file your nails to keep them looking neat and clean. Try rubbing a drop of olive oil into each of your nails for a natural shine. Rounded edges are less likely to break than square edges, so try to maintain a rounded edge while you are growing out your nails. To create rounded edges, file your nails with a curving motion, as if you are tracing a half-circle around the tip of your nail. Keep filing in this manner until you have rounded out the tips of your nails.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take out your pruning tools in the dormant season. Make a cut on the underside of the branch. Cut off the branch several inches from the trunk. Make a precise cut to remove the stub. Clean your pruning equipment.

Answer: Pruning during the late fall or early winter puts less stress on the tree, since it minimizes sap loss. Pruning during this time of year is also better for the tree because it's less likely the "wound" you make will get infected by insects or fungus, which are also relatively active in the late fall and early winter. A good time marker is to prune after the leaves have fallen off the tree. This means the tree is dormant until early spring. If a storm during a different part of the year causes a branch to break, it's OK to prune it immediately instead of waiting for winter. This initial cut shouldn't go all the way through the branch. It is made to prevent the branch from cracking too close to the trunk of the tree when the weight of the branch is ready to fall. The cut should be made on the branch side of what is called the stem collar. This is the small lip of bark that each branch protrudes from. You want to leave the collar intact, so don't cut flush with the trunk. Your second cut will saw through the branch, on the outside (further from the trunk) of the first cut you made. Remove the branch from the area; what you have left is a stub. Now you can make another cut almost right against the stem collar. This gives the tree the best chance of healing in a quick, healthy way. Be sure you don't actually cut off the branch collar. This must remain intact. Although it is probably not necessary to disinfect your pruning equipment if you avoid cutting into cankers and obviously diseased portions of trees, it probably is better to be safe and disinfect your pruning tools with rubbing alcohol (or any household cleaner) after each cut of a diseased tree. You should also dip or rub the blades with a disinfectant impregnated cloth after the pruning of a healthy tree is complete, and before you move to the next tree or bush. Diseases are sometimes spread through dirty pruning equipment and pruning tools.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Squat with added weight. Walk your lunges. Include a Spiderman plank crunch. Do bicycle crunches. Do single arm overhead presses. Bench press on an incline.

Answer:
Squats are a great basic exercise to help achieve more defined and toned muscles. This move works a variety of muscle groups and can really help you have defined legs and glutes. Choose an appropriate weight on a barbell. Carefully lift the barbell and place it gently on the back of your shoulders right underneath your neck. Squeeze your shoulder blades together so the barbell is resting on your muscles, not on your spine. Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip width apart and toes facing forward. Begin to squat down as if you were sitting back into a chair. Squat until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor. Pause at the bottom for one to two seconds. Slowly push yourself back up to the starting position. Push through your heels and squeeze your glutes. This is one repetition. Repeat as desired. Start with a fairly high weight and do a lower number of repetitions (six to eight) for this exercise. This exercise should feel very intense for you to be building muscle. Walking lunges are another great exercise that works a variety of leg muscles. In particular, it helps strengthen hips, thighs, and glutes. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place your hands on your hips, or rest them on the back of your neck. Step forward with one leg and drop your back knee down while bending your front knee. Lower your body down until your rear knee almost touches the ground. Make sure your front knee stays over your ankle, not in front of it. Push and pull yourself up back to standing with your front leg. The muscles used should mainly be from your front leg and glutes. Step forward again with the opposite leg. Continue "lunge walking" for eight to 10 reps per leg. Any variation of the plank exercise will work your entire core. This is one of the exercises that work all muscle groups in your core in addition to your upper body and lower body. Start in a traditional plank position by lying face down on the floor. Support your body weight on your forearms and toes. Keep your body perfectly straight by keeping your core engaged and your hips tucked under. Start by bringing your left knee up towards your left elbow and place your left toes on the floor. Then return your left leg back to the starting position. Repeat on the right side. Repeat this series for 10 reps per side. Another great exercise that targets your core, bicycle crunches specifically target the front of your abdominal muscles and your obliques (the sides of your abs). Lie on your back on an exercise mat. Place your hands behind your head, bring your knees up in the air so they are bent at a 90 degree angle. Start the crunch by bringing your right knee toward your right elbow. Lift up your shoulders and head off the mat to help you meet your ankle. Alternate sides by switching over to the left leg and left arm. Aim to build up to at least 60 seconds of the crunches. This is a great movement to work a variety of muscles in your arms, back and shoulder. It's an all-encompassing upper body exercise. Start by choosing a dumbbell or kettlebell of appropriate weight. Hold it in one hand at shoulder height with your palm facing forward. Push and press your hand up in the air until your arm is completely straight (but not locked at the elbow joint). Pause here at the top. Slowly lower your hand back down to shoulder height. Start by doing two reps per arm, then progress to three reps per arm and end with five reps per arm. Doing an incline bench press helps build mass and strength in the chest and shoulders. Lay down on an incline bench that is set to about 30 or 45 degrees. Place your feet flat on the floor for proper form. Lift an appropriate weighted bar with a grasp width that is about shoulder-width apart. Start with the bar in the air and arms fully extended and locked. Slowly lower down the bar until you are just about an inch or two away from the top of your chin or clavicle bone. Pause for a moment and then push the weight back up to the top position. To build mass and strength with this exercise, choose a weight on the barbell that is heavy enough to bring on complete muscle fatigue after four to six repetitions.
