Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your apple. Remove the skin with a pairing knife or vegetable peeler. Place your apple on a cutting board. Cut the apple into four pieces. Cut your apple into thin slices.

Answer: Run the apple under clean water, turning it as necessary to remove any dirt and debris. Use either a knife or vegetable peeler to gently peel the skin off the apple. Try to remove only a thin layer of skin and keep most of the apple intact. It's easier to use a vegetable peeler, as you get more control and can trim less flesh off the apple. If you use a knife, point it away from your body as you peel the apple. Get a clean cutting board and place it on a flat surface. Set the apple with the stem-side up on the board. Make a series of vertical slices along the side of the apple, cutting just against the core. This will give you four pieces that should be about the same size. Once you've cut the apple into four pieces, place each piece on the cutting board with the flat side down. Use a knife to cut across each apple, slicing the chunks into thin slices. Aim for two to three slices per chunk.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn their habits. Compare your preferences. Account for personality differences. Check their rental history and financial situation.

Answer: It can be tempting to select a roommate on the basis of how friendly they are, but you're better off judging them on the basis of day-to-day living compatibility. Find out if how often they'll be home, what their work or school schedule is like, and whether they're an early riser or a night owl. You should also consider how neat or messy the person is, as a sloppy roommate is sure to drive a neat-freak nuts. It can be difficult to live with someone who enjoys absolute silence when you love to blast music at all hours of the day and night. Find out the person's preferences before deciding to move in together. Ask what kind of noise level they prefer, what temperature they're comfortable at, what kinds of foods they enjoy, if they're sensitive to odors, and if they have any allergies. Be sure to find out if they smoke, drink, or use recreational drugs, too. Some people may have vastly different religious or political views that could cause conflict when living together. For example, someone who is very religious and conservative may not be okay with you bringing home one-night-stands. Some people may love to chat and discuss their feelings, while others prefer to keep things to themselves. The best roommate pairs will have similar views on these topics. Ask for rental references and discuss the financial commitment you're both making. Make sure they are prepared and able to stick to the lease agreement as well as any utility bills. You don't want to get stuck paying the full amount of rent because they don't have enough money to cover their portion!
