INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Beat together the egg and milk in one bowl to make an egg wash. Then mix together the flour with salt and pepper to taste in a separate bowl. Put the breadcrumbs out on another plate. Dip each plaice fillet into the flour mixture, and shake off any excess. Then dip each fillet into the egg wash. Finally, place the fillets into the breadcrumbs and coat fully. Coating the plaice fillets in the breadcrumb coating can be done ahead of time if necessary, and then refrigerated. Heat up a frying pan over a medium heat with the olive oil. Place the fillets in the frying pan, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Flip the fillets after 2 minutes, and fry the other side for an additional 2 minutes or until coloured lightly on both sides. You will be able to tell that the plaice are cooked through when the flesh has changed from translucent to opaque. The breadcrumb coating will become golden.

SUMMARY: Combine the ingredients for the breadcrumb coating. Dip the fillets into the breadcrumb coating. Pan-fry the plaice fillets for 2 minutes on the first side. Remove the fillets from the pan when crispy and golden.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Knowing the meanings of words is the foundation of your language study. Try to learn a group of words that are related to each other. You'll be more likely to remember them. If you already have some language experience and want to build your vocabulary, spend time reading in the language. Look up words you don't know. Experts suggest that free reading is the most effective if you already know 3000 to 5000 words in the language. A classic way to learn a large number of words is to make flashcards. Write the word on one side and write the definition on the other. To make the meaning easier to remember, try to include an image. Have someone quiz you or just go through the cards on your own until you've mastered them. For verbs, try writing all the different tenses on the side of the card where you've written the English definition. That way, you have to recall the forms of the verb as well as the definition. Use different colors to indicate different types of words. For example, use different colors to indicate the gender of nouns, prepositions, verbs, etc. This will help you recall important vocabulary information. Simply put, grammar makes up the rules of a foreign language. While vocabulary is important, it's also critical to understand how these words interact. For example, words may mean different things when placed in different orders in a sentence. You'll need to learn the rules that are specific to your foreign language in order to effectively read, write, and understand the language. Use memory tricks to memorize key grammar rules (like mnemonics, learn word associations, and study grammar in context). Listen to the way native speakers speak the language. Pay attention to word order and the gender of nouns. Keep study sessions short, but frequent. Try to review the material from each class at least every few days. You don't need to sit down and study for hours at a time. Instead, stay focused and keep the study session brief. For example, spend 10 minutes every day going over your class notes or spend 30 minutes at the end of the week to review all the material you covered. Studying on a regular basis will make you feel more prepared and make it easier to build on information the instructor gives. This is especially important with foreign languages. Avoid cramming the night before an exam. While you may be able to study information to pass an exam, researchers argue that you won't be able to remember the information for very long. There's no right or wrong way to take notes, but you should develop a style that works for you. While your notes don't need to be perfectly written, you should be able to read and understand them later on. Your notes should include the main points of the lesson with plenty of details so you understand the concepts later. You can develop your own system of abbreviations so you can take faster notes. If you're having trouble keeping up with the instructor's pace, don't be afraid to ask questions or ask the instructor to repeat something. Taking notes will help you follow along in class and engage with the material. If you miss a class, make sure to ask a classmate for good notes from the class. Try a variety of study techniques. Once you've found what helps you learn, use a combination of tactics. For example, maybe you've discovered that using flashcards to learn vocabulary didn't help you. Instead, you might learn best by repeatedly writing down words and placing them all around your home. You might also try learning through: Reading stories in the language. Mnemonics (devices to help you memorize). Writing vocabulary into sentences so you have context. Repetition Set aside plenty of time for the class. This doesn't just mean time to attend class. It should also include time to study and prepare for the class, time to do homework, and time that you may need to meet up with a study group or the instructor to get help. Set a schedule and stick to it, so you're not rushing to finish an assignment or get ready for an exam. Don't forget the importance of rest. Research shows that people are able to learn and retain language better when they get plenty of sleep. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep, while teenagers need 8 to 10 hours.

SUMMARY: Work on vocabulary. Use note cards. Learn grammar. Study on a regular basis. Take effective notes. Find what what works for you. Manage your time.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Asylum is a benefit offered to refugees who are fleeing persecution in their home countries. If you win asylum, you can stay in the United States and eventually apply to become a permanent legal resident by getting a "green card," known more formally as a United States Permanent Resident card. Asylum applications can be "defensive" or "affirmative." A defensive asylum application is one made when you are in removal proceedings in the U.S., either because you are attempting to enter the country without proper papers or because you broke an immigration law when inside the country and are about to be deported. Affirmative asylum applications are ones you file when not in removal proceedings. In order to apply for asylum, you typically need be physically present in the United States. . You must also have suffered from (or fear that you will suffer from) persecution in your home country. This persecution must be shown to be based on at least one of the following personal attributes: race religion nationality membership in a particular social group political opinion In affirmative asylum applications, you can include your spouse and any unmarried children under the age of 21. Any other children must apply for asylum on his or her own. There are several bars to winning asylum in the United States. Many of these involve criminal activity undertaken either in the United States or elsewhere. For example, if you participated in the persecution of any person on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular group, you would be ineligible for asylum. Other bars include: a conviction for a serious crime (which includes aggravated felonies) the commission of a serious, nonpolitical crime outside the United States your posing a danger to the security of the U.S. your being already firmly resettled in another country before arriving in the U.S. You must make an application for asylum within one year of arriving in the United States. However, you can make an application later if there has been a material change of circumstances. For example, if people from your political party are suddenly targeted for assassination while you are in the United States, you could claim that circumstances have sufficiently changed so that an application after the deadline is acceptable. If there has been a change of circumstances, you should file for asylum within a "reasonable" amount of time. USCIS does not define "reasonable" with any precision, so you are best advised not to wait.

SUMMARY:
Understand asylum. Verify that you are eligible to apply. See if you can include your family. Confirm that you are not disqualified from applying. Do not wait.
