In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Knowing the type of test you're going to take gives you a better idea of how to study. In addition to the types of questions you'll be asked, you also need to know whether the test will include speaking and listening components or be completely written. If you're taking the test for a French class in school, ask your instructor the types of questions that will be on the test and the approximate number of questions you'll have. You also want to find out if you'll have the whole class period to take the test or only a portion of it. Language proficiency exams and placement tests tend to be more global, addressing your understanding of French in general rather than specific skills and grammar. A test for school, on the other hand, will more likely focus only on the things you've covered in class since your last test. Repetition is important to help you learn any language. You'll retain more if you study for a shorter amount of time every day for a month or longer before the test than if you try to cram it all in the night before the test. For example, if you have a language proficiency exam coming up in 3 months, you might set aside 30 minutes a day to study French for the first month, an hour a day for the second month, and then 30 minutes a day for the third month, up until the day before the test. If you're studying for a test for school, you'll have to balance your French studies with your other classes. However, if you don't have any other tests coming up, try to focus the bulk of your study time on your French test. The more you focus solely on French, the more you'll retain. Search online for free grammar exercises and worksheets that you can use to practice grammar skills, such as conjugation and subject-verb agreement. You can also make your own drills and flashcards for grammar and vocabulary. If you're studying for 30 minutes a day, dedicate 10 to 15 minutes of your time to doing grammar drills or vocabulary flashcards. Divide your study sessions so that you're only working on one skill each day. You risk confusing yourself if you try to work on multiple grammar skills at a time. Take a longer French passage and translate it into your native language, then set it aside for a couple of days. When you come back to it, start with the English translation you made and translate it back into French. Compare your French translation to the original French text. Where your French differs from the original, dig into it and try to understand why. Based on this exercise, you can determine areas where you might need more practice. This exercise can also help you plan what parts of the language you're going to focus on for your studies. For example, if you find that you had a hard time conjugating irregular verbs, you might focus on that during your studies the following week. The night before the test, do something relaxing to prepare for the test especially if you're taking it first thing in the morning. If you try to cram, you'll only stress yourself out. You also run the risk of confusing skills that you previously knew. If you still want to do something French-related, watch a French movie or listen to French music. The night before the test, your primary focus should be relaxing and calming your mind.
Summary: Find out the structure and format of the test. Set aside time to study each day. Drill yourself on grammar. Try your hand at translation. Avoid last-minute cramming.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Squirt a glitter adhesive inside the ornament opening and swirl it around the entire surface. Pour glitter in through the opening and, covering the hole with a paper towel, shake the ornament vigorously to spread the glitter. Add the glitter before painting the ornament if you want it to stand out more. Filling ornaments can be a great way to add a personal touch after painting. You can add traditional holiday decorations or small items that have personal meaning to you. As long as they fit through the opening, you can add them inside. Keep in mind that after you paint the glass, it may be translucent but won't be see-through. Choose items that you don't need to see clearly to appreciate as a decoration. Make a stencil and adhere it to the ornament's surface with painter's tape. Spray 2-3 coatings of paint over the surface, allowing the paint to dry for up to 60 minutes between coats. You can also use stencil letters to spell a message like "Christmas 20--" or "Wishing you a happy wedding!" After painting the glass ornament, loop a ribbon through the ornament's top. Tie the ribbon with a knot or bow to secure it tightly in place when you're ready to hang the ornament. Choose a ribbon color that matches the ornament or your decorative theme. Glue one end of the yarn to the ornament and wrap it around the surface in one direction. After wrapping one side of the ornament, switch sides and wrap another area until you cover the entire surface in yarn. Glue down the other end of the yarn after wrapping to hold it in place. Choose a color that matches or complements the color you painted the ornament. If you painted your ornament red, for example, wrap it in green string.
Summary: Pour glitter inside for a sparkly look. Fill the ornament with pom poms, beads, or other decorations. Spray paint a stencil on the outside for more intricate patterns. Attach a ribbon to the top for easy hanging. Tie yarn around the ornament for a rustic, handmade flair.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To shoot proper photos that can later be merged into a good panoramic picture, you will need a tripod. Find a good spot for your panorama, and set up your tripod and camera. Mind you, you don't have to use an expensive tripod; a regular cheap one will do the trick. When setting up the camera and tripod, make sure it is firmly grounded. Make sure you have enough space to rotate around where you are setting up. It is best that what you're shooting is not too close to youan outside venue would be best. Take your shots one by one while rotating the camera. It is important for your shots to overlap. Make sure all the photos are taken with the same settingsfocus, shutter speed, and aperture. If they're not, your panoramic picture will not be consistent. This is where it helps if you turn off the automatic shooting option and make your own settings. It would be best if you took multiple photos of the same shot in case one comes out blurry or defective. Check if your camera has a pre-programmed panorama mode. Use it if it does. The panorama mode shows you the last picture taken and the view through the camera lens, so you can easily align shots. The panorama mode also fixes camera settings so you don't have to worry about it. Once you've taken your photos, it's time to make the panoramic picture. If you have the newer version of Photoshop, or a similar program, then you will also have the Photomerge option. Continue to method 2 to learn how to use Photomerge if you have it. Go to method 3 if you don't have Photomerge to learn how to merge your photos manually.
Summary:
Set up your camera. Take the shots. Merge your photos.
