Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a colour theme to decorate the space. Hang up fairy lights on your roof and walls to set a calming mood. Display photos of you and your friends to highlight good times. Places lamps around your room for mood lighting. Hang up posters that express your unique interests. Place a whiteboard on your wall for drawings and messages. Put pretty rugs on the floor to brighten up the space.

Answer: This helps to make your room look cohesive and elegant. Decide what colours you want to use and then add accessories accordingly. For example, if you want a red, yellow, and white colour scheme, you could opt for white walls, yellow cushions and throws, and a red comforter on your bed. Avoid using lots of colours, as this can make your room look cluttered and overwhelming. If you don't want to have a colour theme, opt for a style theme instead, such as beachy, vintage, minimal, or boho. Use this theme to help you choose your bedroom accessories. Fairy lights instantly create a chill mood in your room especially at night! Use small hooks or sticky-tak to attach the fairy lights to your walls or ceilings. If you aren't allowed to attach things to your walls, consider draping the string of lights over your curtain rail, dresser, or headboard to create a similar effect. Opt for yellow lights to create a warm feeling or white lights to create a pretty, starry look. Purchase fairy lights after Christmas to get a great deal. Photos are a great inexpensive way to personalise your room and provide constant reminders of special memories. Place your photos in frames, peg them to a string and hang it up in your room, or simply sticky-tak them to the wall. Your friends will love seeing pictures of themselves on your wall! If you are sticking the photos to the wall, consider placing them in a shape, such as a heart, circle, or diamond. Replace old photos with new photos occasionally to keep them up to date. If you're creating a vintage theme in your room, search thrift stores for old photo frames. This is a great way to set the mood for a movie night or a cosy girls night. Try adding desk lamps, lava lamps, floor lamps, or moon lamps to your room. Choose bulbs that are bright enough to allow you to see your friends' faces, as this will stop people getting too sleepy. Search thrift stores, garage sales, or online auctions for inexpensive vintage lamps. If you don't have power outlets in the right places, utilise extension cords to power the lamps. If you want your room to have a boho feel, opt for a lamp with lace on it. If you want a beachy look, pick a lamp that is made from driftwood. Posters are a great form of wall art and help to personalise your room. Frame your posters or use sticky-tak or pins to attach them to your wall. Band posters, inspirational posters, vintage posters, movie posters, superhero posters, and celebrity posters are cool options. Consider having a poster wall that is filled with your favourite posters. Ask your parents before pinning anything to your walls. Search thrift stores to find vintage posters, or buy new posters online or from concerts Whiteboards can provide endless entertainment for you and your friends and are a great wall decoration. Draw pictures and cartoons, write messages to each other, or write down your to-do list on the board. Hang the board on a blank wall so it that is easy for multiple people to use it at the same time and have a few different whiteboard markers for you and your friends to use. If you don't have a whiteboard, consider pinning up a blackboard instead. If you aren't allowed to hang up the whiteboard on the wall, lean it against your wall or rest it on your desk instead. Keep an old rag on hand to wipe the board clean. Rugs are an easy and inexpensive way to change how your floor looks. They also have the added benefit of making the floor a little comfier. Opt for thick and fluffy rugs to make the floor extra cosy or choose a woven or linen mat for a minimal look. This is a great option if you want to have lots of people in your room but don't have much seating. If your room has a nautical vibe, choose a bold blue-and-white patterned rug or a woven jute rug.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Draw an 8in 2in (20.3cm 5.1cm) rectangle on a sheet of paper. Draw 7 parallelograms to create the flaps for your cube. Cut out the cube template. Add glue to each flap as you put the cube together.

Answer: If you want to make a cube that's 2 2 2in (5.1 5.1 5.1cm), use a pencil and a ruler to create a rectangle that's 8in (20cm) long and 2in (5.1cm) tall. For a cube of this size, your paper should be at least 8in 6in (20cm 15cm). Construction paper is best for this project because it's sturdy, but you can also use standard copy paper. If you want to make a cube that's a different size, start with a rectangle with a length-to-width ratio of 4:1. For instance, if you want to make a cube that measures 4 4 4in (10 10 10cm), draw a 16in 4in (41cm 10cm) rectangle to start. Starting on the far left side of the far-left box, draw 2 lines that angle in toward each other at about 45. The lines should be about 12in (1.3cm) long. Then, connect the angled lines with a straight vertical line to make your flap. You'll also need flaps on either side of the top box, a flap on the bottom of the box just below that, one on the bottom of the very bottom box, and a flap on the top and bottom of the far-right box. The only box that won't have a flap is the third box on your original rectangle. The very top and far-right boxes will have two flaps each, and the far-left, second-from-the-left, and bottom boxes will each have one flap. This will be 7 flaps total, and you'll use them to glue your cube together. Using a pair of scissors, carefully cut along only the outside lines of your template, including the flaps. Don't cut along the lines that divide the boxes from one another, or the lines between the flaps and the boxes. Your template should be 1 big piece when you're finished. If you accidentally make the wrong cut, either tape the template back together or draw a new one. Place a small line of glue on one of the flaps, then hold the flap tightly against the corresponding side for several seconds. Continue doing this until you've glued down all of the flaps, then leave the cube alone for several minutes to give it time to dry. You can use tape to fasten the flaps, if you prefer.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write down your feelings. Consider what you want to get out of the conversation. Choose a good time to talk. Go in without expectations. Consider your parents' point of view.

Answer:
Trying to explain an issue you're having to your parents can be hard. It can be helpful to write your feelings down ahead of time. This helps you figure out what you want to say, allowing you to have a productive, effective conversation. To start, just write down what you are feeling. Are you upset over an argument you had with your parents? Do you feel like your parents do not respect or understand you as much as they could? Explain your feelings in detail, and also make note of why you're feeling them. You should also purge any anger in writing. Going into a conversation mad can be toxic to healthy dialogue. It may be a good idea to write out any anger you're feeling ahead of time rather than expressing it later. Try to find the best way to articulate your feelings. As you write, read over your words. See if there's a way to tweak them to make them more easily understandable. This can help when you sit down and confront your parents. You should consider what your end goal is with this conversation. Do you want your parents to apologize? Do you want them to do something differently in the future? A difficult conversation should have some kind of end goal. Make sure you consider this ahead of time. To start, you probably want your parents to simply understand where you're coming from. Generational gaps can cause misunderstanding between children and parents. Things change over time, and cultural norms are likely different for you than they were when your parents were your age. It's important to get your parents to understand how you're shaped by the times. You may be looking for something more specific, however. Maybe you're asking permission to do something, like attend a party. Maybe you want support or guidance in school or your social life. Try to consider what you're asking for, and the best way to make that request. For example, maybe your parents will think you wanting to extend your curfew for prom night is petty. However, maybe you're a senior in high school and this is one of the last nights you and your friends will spend together as a group. Talk about your need for social connection and lasting memories. When you have a conversation can be just as important as how you have. Pick a time to talk when you and your parents will not be stressed or distracted. This can help the conversation run smoother. Look for a day of the week free of external obligations. Talking 30 minutes before your Dad has to get to a PTA meeting is a bad idea, as is choosing to talk when you have basketball practice in 15 minutes. Pick a day of the week when everyone's night is relatively free. Pick a good place to talk. You do not want to start a difficult conversation at a noisy, crowded restaurant. Instead, choose to talk in your living room. Minimize external distractions. Turn off the TV and do not check your phone during the conversation. If you go into the conversation expecting it to unfold in a certain way, you may feel disappointed or frustrated when things turn out differently. Do not try to predict how your parents will act. Allow things to unfold freely. Negative expectations can cause you to go into the conversation with hostility. If you expect your parents to be dismissive of your desire to stay out late on prom night, you may come into the conversation angry and confrontational. This could make your parents less likely to listen to your perspective. You should also not have overly high expectations. If you're asking for permission to stay out until 4 in the morning on prom night, it's unlikely your parents will agree. Try not to insist on getting your exact way. Know ahead of time you may have to compromise on some things during the conversation. For example, maybe your parents will agree to extend your curfew, but only until 1:30 and only if you check in every half hour. Before going into the conversation, consider your parents' perspective a bit. While you may feel like they're being harsh or unfair, your parents ultimately want what's best for you. Try to understand the rationale for their rules. Your parents will be more willing to listen to you if you've shown maturity by considering their perspective. Are there any extenuating circumstances at play? For example, maybe you have an older sibling who has gotten in trouble in the past. Your parents may have developed strict rules for you to prevent you from following the same path. Keep in mind being a parent is very hard. Raising a child comes with a lot of stress that's hard for you to understand if you're not a parent as well. Be empathetic. Place yourself in your parents shoes and imagine how scary and difficult it must be to raise a child in a world that's often dangerous and unpredictable.
