Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pay attention to your word choice. Implement metaphors. Use analogies.

Answer: More than in any other form of writing, diction and word choice matter in poetry. Try using descriptive words that paint a more elaborate picture. For example, you could say that it was a dark, shadowy night instead of just that the night was dark. This is much more descriptive and gives the reader a more accurate picture of what you mean. Metaphors directly compare two things based on similarities by equating them as the same. In his play As You Like It, William Shakespeare famously says, All the world's a stage, / And all the men and women merely players: / They have their exits and their entrances. This is a metaphor that compares the action of real life with the action of a theatrical play. Shakespeare says that world is a stage and all the people are actors, not merely that they are like actors. Analogies are comparisons between two things that intend to help the reader understand a situation or event. Usually, authors compare a known thing with a lesser known thing to help the reader understand the lesser known thing. Unlike metaphors that compare a thing by saying it is another thing, analogies say that something is like something else. For example, saying she was as quiet as a mouse is an analogy that lets the reader know something about the subject, she, by relating a fact about her to a fact everyone knows (that mice are quiet).

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Research varieties of vanilla beans. Buy vanilla beans.

Answer: Vanilla beans are produced in many different countries, and there are several dozen varieties to choose from. They each have a different flavor profile. Bourbon vanilla beans are fruity, with hints of figs and persimmon. Madagascar vanilla beans are full-bodied, with a hint of tobacco. They have a higher vanilla content than other beans, making them a flavorful choice. Mexican vanilla beans are smooth and creamy. Tahitian vanilla beans have a floral scent. Indian vanilla beans are dark and oily with hints of cinnamon and other spices. Buy whole vanilla beans from gourmet food stores. You can also buy them online if you want a bigger selection to choose from. The vanilla beans you buy should be dark and moist with oils. They should feel dense when you pinch them with your fingers, and they should emit a strong vanilla smell. Don't use vanilla beans that are light in color, dry or crumbly. If you're unsure whether one is still usable, wrap it around your finger. If it bends easily and stays together, it's fine to use. If it falls apart, don't use it to make extract.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut 2 strips of cardboard, 56cm (22in) long by 6.4cm (2.5in) wide. Create 2 tabs and glue them together for support. Cut 4-8 squares of cardboard that are 3.2cm (1.3in) each. Cut a 13cm (5.1in) wide by 56cm (22in) long strip of cardboard. Make 2.5cm (0.98in) tabs on each end of your square tube. Measure and cut out a 13cm (5.1in) by 41cm (16in) rectangle. Pierce the cardboard to connect the 3 56cm (22in) long legs. Place the easel flat and glue the cross-member to the 2 side legs. Tie string around all 3 legs and stand your easel up.

Answer: Lay your cardboard flat on a work surface. Mark these measurements on the cardboard and cut the strips. Then, mark a line up the center of the strips and fold them in half using the center line as a guide. Use a sharp utility knife or sharp scissors to cut your cardboard. Measure 3.2cm (1.3in) from the end of each strip and cut them to create tabs. Then, fold these tabs over each other and glue them together with hot glue. Folding the tabs will reinforce the ends of the cardboard strips. Don't cut these squares out of your strips! Use the rest of the cardboard you have. Then, cut the squares in half diagonally to create perfect triangles. Place the top end of each triangle on top of the fold line. Put glue on the sides of your triangles and put them in place along the strips. These triangles will provide support to your long cardboard strips. To make this easier, cut your big piece of cardboard so it's 56cm (22in) in length. Then measure and mark the 2.5cm (0.98in) segments along the cardboard. Cut along the lines and fold the pieces over to create a square tube. Measure from each end of the strip, mark lines across the segments, and cut along the lines. Fold the strips at each end to make tabs. Then, fold your square and tabs up and glue it all together. Place glue on your segments before you roll your square tube up. Using the rest of your cardboard, mark this rectangle with a pencil and cut it out. Measure and mark 5 2.5cm (0.98in) segments on the rectangle. Then, fold these segments to create a square tube that is approximately 2.5cm (0.98in) thick and 56cm (22in) long and glue it. Folding the cardboard like this will create sturdy legs for your easel. Make a mark at 3.8cm (1.5in) from the end on one of the legs. Flip it over so you can make a mark on the back side, then piece through both holes with a pencil. Place the other 2 legs right next to the pierced leg, mark holes at the same place, and push the pencil through these holes. Then, lay the 3 legs side by side and push the pencil all the way through to connect them. The pencil is what holds the legs together. Stand the 3 legs up, then push 2 of the legs forward to be the main legs, and push the middle leg back to be the support leg. There's no need to glue the cross-member to the support leg as the support leg needs to be able to move. Mark your desired distance on each side leg and place some glue at that point. Put your cross-member square tube on top of the glue and let it dry for 20 minutes or so. At this point, you've connected all 3 legs and you've connected the cross-member to the 2 side legs. The string will provide additional support to your easel by preventing the support leg from sliding too far back.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Vary your tasks throughout the day. Ask for more opportunities. Focus on the positive. Eliminate distractions. Seek feedback. Take breaks. Be aware of your strengths.

Answer:
People tend to lose motivation on the job out of sheer boredom. The brain functions best when it is subjected to stimulation and differentiated activity. Try to organize your day so that you're working on different tasks or projects for a few hours at a time. This will help keep you engaged and break the monotony of your routine. If your job consists of only one or two tasks, it's easy to become bored and unmotivated. Ask your boss for more responsibility. Take on a new project or see if you can collaborate with coworkers to get a different perspective on your work. This will not only broaden your skill set and keep you stimulated, but will also show your boss that you have initiative and drive. If you adopt a positive attitude towards yourself and your work, it will be easier for you to commit to a standard of excellence. Find a way to see the value in everything you do and give it 100%. If you remind yourself of what you do well and put effort into even menial tasks, you will have a higher sense of self-worth. Plus, doing tasks well might lead to a promotion, or a shining letter of recommendation if you're trying to switch career paths. If you're having trouble fixating on the positive, try writing a love letter to yourself. Though it may seem a bit overly sentimental, putting down what you love about yourself on paper gives those positive qualities a new weight. Try writing down five or six things that you value in yourself as both a person and a worker, and keep these in mind when you're feeling low at work. It's easy to waste time at work by checking your cell phone, social media, or your favorite blogs. Completing your work with speed and drive will boost your motivation. Commit to turning off your phone for a few hours at a time to get your work done quickly. That way, you can associate work with productivity instead of constant distractions. Work environments can be isolating, and it can often be hard to find a sense of community. Seeking out honest feedback from your superiors will not only help with your job performance, but will also allow you to create a personal connection with your colleagues. Plus, your boss will be impressed by your initiative. See the value in both positive feedback and constructive criticism. Positive feedback can help give you an ego boost and refresh your motivation to continue to perform well. Criticism, when viewed as constructive instead of negative, will help you to develop new skills and put renewed effort into your work. Nobody can be productive for eight hours straight. Taking a few breaks throughout the day will give you a much needed stress release and refocus you for impending tasks. Go for a short walk around the block to get some fresh air, stand up and stretch, grab some coffee with a coworker. Don't make the breaks too long, but recognizing that everybody needs to clear their head from time to time will make it easier to return to your desk. While it's great to work on your weaknesses, focusing primarily on your strengths will make you feel more successful on the job. Recognize what you are good at and put energy into completing those tasks on a daily basis. Talk to your boss or supervisor about what you think you're good at so that they know what kinds of projects and assignments you'll do best with.
