Article: Write down the letters in the words "Homecoming?" or "Prom?" on different pieces of poster board. Gather some of your friends and ask each one to hold a different letter in the word. Invite your date over and surprise her with the question. You can do this at your school at the end of the day or in the morning before everyone arrives. Think of your favorite romantic artists and musicians. Choreograph a dance routine before hand and practice with your friends. Then, invite your date over and put on the routine and pop the big question at the end. If you can't sing, play the track over speakers and lip sync for a more comedic feeling. Search for choreographed dances online that you can use for your proposal. Choose a song that you both enjoy, or a popular romantic song. Some good ones include "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye, "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston. If you want to be subtle with your question or you don't know your potential date that well, write down a note that explains why you want to go to prom or homecoming with the person. Remember to include details about why they are important to you and how happy it would make you if they went to prom with you. Slip the note to a friend and ask them to pass it to your date. Your note can say something like "Hey Jane, you're an amazing person. Ever since we met, I knew that we had a special connection and bond. I just want to get to know you more. I'd like to know if you want to go to homecoming with me. Please answer on this note. Yours Truly, Brad."

Article: Of course, you should always pay your credit card bills on time, as late payments could result in credit limit (and credit score) decreases. Six months is simply the minimum amount of time you will have to make timely payments on your account before creditors will even consider raising your credit card limit. Your credit utilization is pretty much how much money you have on your credit card compared to your overall limit. For example, if you have $4,900 worth of debt on a card that has a $5,000 limit, your credit utilization is extremely high. If, on the other hand, you have $300 worth of debt on a card that has a limit of $5,000, your credit utilization is extremely low. A low credit utilization is what you want. If you have multiple credit cards, don't be hesitant to move debt from one card to another in order to massage your credit utilization. If one card has a higher limit, for example, move debt onto that card and off the card with the lower limit. Do this so that both credit utilization ratios more or less balance out. Shoot for a credit utilization rate (debt to limit ratio) of about 10%. A 10% credit utilization rate is ideal, however, so if you happen to have a rate of 20%, or even 30%, that's okay. Your credit utilization is 30% of your credit score, which itself is a factor in getting a limit increase.

Pay your bill on time for at least 6 months. Lower your credit utilization.
Article: "Oneesan" is more polite, due to the "o-". "-san" is respectful. You would use it with people socially equal to you or with someone you don't know very well. The "-sa-" in "-san" is pronounced the same as in "-sama". This is one great thing about Japanese: sounds are consistent and don't vary between words, with a few exceptions. The Japanese "n" sounds like the English "n". If anything, it sounds a little like the English "m", depending on the speaker.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Break these two down. Pronounce "o-" and "-nee-" in the same way described above. Pronounce the "sa". Put it together.
