In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In order to become fluent in ASL, you will have to be invested in Deaf culture. Since deafness is rarely passed from parent to child, Deaf culture is one of the few cultures where a child does not learn the cultural traits from their parents. Instead, the culture evolves from deaf schools and community gatherings. Sign language is but one small aspect of Deaf culture. In Deaf culture, deafness is not viewed as a disability that needs fixing. The terms "mute" and "dumb" are culturally insensitive, and should never be used. In general, individual Deaf communities are tight-knit and initially hard to break into. But persistence and a humble attitude will help you succeed in making deaf friends. Once they know you are sincere and eager to learn about them and their language, many deaf people will begin to accept you and "show you the ropes" of their unique culture. The Deaf culture is built on strong literary traditions, especially in poetry. You cannot learn ASL simply from reading a dictionary or watching some videos. Finding a partner to practice ASL with on a regular basis will be crucial for improving your readability, speed, and comprehension. Post a bulletin at your school asking for an ASL partner. Get a friend or family member to learn ASL with you so you both have someone to practice with in everyday situations. The goal of learning ASL is being able to communicate fluently with someone who is deaf. Once you start feeling comfortable with basic sayings, go out of your way to interact with someone from the Deaf community. Find out what Deaf community events are happening in your area, such as art shows, movie screenings, or gatherings. Go to a Deaf Coffee Chat. They are typically (though, not always) oriented towards beginners and you are likely to find Deaf people who are happy to chat with you. Be polite and ask if someone would like to engage in a basic conversation with you.
Summary: Familiarize yourself with Deaf culture. Practice with a partner. Communicate with a deaf person.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When selecting a stem, you should look for young, green growth, as they have a better chance for taking roots when planted. Select a piece of stem with a few leaves on it. You want to be sure you're able to identify the nodes, which are places where a leaf meets the stem. You'll want to have enough length on the stem to plant it deeply within the soil so that it can form roots. It should have a few sets of leaves located along the stem. Once you've measured the stem, cut just below a node. The node will look like a knob in the stem where it connects to the rest of the plant. Make sure the node is still on the cutting. Avoid handling the cutting by its stem or node by gently holding onto one of the lower leaves. You can sterilize scissors by wiping them with rubbing alcohol. This is to prevent contamination of the cells located at the node. While the new plant needs leaves to provide energy through photosynthesis, too many leaves will compete with the plant's efforts to send out new roots. Lower leaves will touch the soil and likely cause the cutting to rot, so they can be removed. By doing so, you can prevent them from wilting while you work. This is especially important for cuttings taken outside, because the sun can cause them to lose water quickly when removed from their plant.
Summary:
Select a healthy stem with new growth. Measure the stem out to 5 to 10 centimetres (2.0 to 3.9in) long. Cut below a node with a sharp pair of sterilized scissors. Remove the lower leaves of the plant, leaving 1 or 2 pairs at the top. Gather your cuttings in a plastic bag containing a few drops of water.
