Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have a conversation with your friend about your feelings. Be honest with your friend. Ask your friend to avoid talking about the relationship around you. Resist the temptation to badmouth your ex.

Answer: Express your sadness to your friend but explain that it's something that you're working to get through. Explain that you may be distant until you can fully get over your negative feelings. You can say something like, "To be honest with you, it hurt my feelings when I found out you and Jen were dating. When I found out, it made me feel insecure and upset, but I'm working on feeling better about it." If you suspected your friend and your ex were interested in each other during your relationship, it's okay to admit you suspicions to your friend. Hear out what they have to say before jumping to conclusions. It's okay to tell your friend how you feel. If you wish that you'd had a heads up about the relationship, it's okay to tell them that. If you feel angry or betrayed, make sure that your friend knows but make sure not to lose your cool. An honest conversation will make you feel better and give them a better understanding of where you stand. If your friend doesn't take the conversation well, keep your cool by regulating your breathing and paying close attention to what they have to say. You can say something like, "I just wish that you and Maron would have told me that you were thinking about dating so I could prepare myself. I'm still not over him." If conversations about your ex gives you negative emotions, it's best to avoid conversations about them. Speak to your friend and ask them to avoid talking about their new relationship if possible. This may help you maintain the friendship and could make you feel better about the situation. You can say something like, "Conversations about Jen make me feel awkward. Would you mind avoiding talking about her for right now?" If you don't get emotional when speaking about your ex, it might be a sign that you're over the relationship and can talk about them again. If you get over the past relationship, you can say something like "Remember when I said I didn't want to talk about John? I'm over it now, so if you want to talk about him, I don't mind." If you have to, take some time away from your friend so you can heal. Let your friend know that you still value your friendship, you just need a little time and distance to heal and process your feelings. If you find out that your friend is dating your ex, you might feel the urge to dish the dirt on your ex or sabotage the relationship. Ultimately, however, this could just end up damaging your relationship with your friend. Think carefully before sharing any information about your ex with your friend, such as details of your relationship or your ex's previous dating history. Ask yourself whether sharing this information will accomplish anything positive.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wipe down your tile. Create your solution. Apply your cleaner. Begin scrubbing. Mop up the excess liquid. Continue washing your grout. Finish cleaning your tile.

Answer: Get rid of all surface dirt and crumbs that might make cleaning your grout more tedious by wiping down your tile before getting to the grout cleaning. Follow your regular cleaning regimen by sweeping and mopping floors or using a spray cleaner to wipe down countertops. Oxygen bleach is a safe bleach compound, which works to dissolve bacteria and grime while whitening grout. Mix equal parts of oxygen bleach with warm water and allow the mixture to dissolve. Choose your starting area, no larger than 1-2 square feet at a time, and pour on your bleach. Make sure the grout is thoroughly coated with the liquid; you can use a spray bottle if it makes it easier to do so. Leave the solution to work on the grout for 15-20 minutes. When the bleach has had time to set, you can begin scrubbing at the grout to work out the dirt and stains. Use a small brush, like a toothbrush, to rub the grout. You can add more bleach as you scrub to keep the area moist and expedite the cleaning process. Grab a dry towel and mop up the dirty bleach-water that pools on the tile when you finish scrubbing. If you get enough, wring the towel out between uses. Doing this, will make it easier to finish cleaning in the end. Repeat the process of applying bleach to the grout and scrubbing it out until you have finished all your tiled area. For particularly tough stains in the grout, you can apply the bleach for an hour or longer. The longer you let it soak, the easier it will be to scrub out the stain. Do a final mop-up of your tile before cleaning it again as you usually would. A final wipe-down will remove any remaining bleach and dirt, and leave your grout shiny and good-as-new.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify the letter as your final demand. Explain late fees. Give a deadline. Conclude your letter. Mail the letter.

Answer: Set up the letter as a standard business letter. However, also include a heading, such as the words "Final Demand." Put the words in bold and underline them. You want the recipient to know that this is their last chance to pay up before you take additional action. You should tell the customer that they are now in breach of your agreement and that you have added interest or a penalty for being late. Then tell them the new total amount they need to pay. Sample language could read: "Despite previous reminders, your account remains delinquent. Because you are now in breach of our payment terms, we are adding a $50 late payment penalty per our 'Late Payment of Debts Terms of Agreement.' The total outstanding debt is now $225.00." You should tell the customer how much time they have to make final payment. You should not give them too much time. For example, you could set a 72-hour deadline. Explain what will happen if the customer doesn't meet the deadline. For example, you might pass the account onto collections or sue the customer in court. Sample language could read: "It is now crucial that you pay your outstanding bill in full within the next seventy-two hours. If you don't, then we will have little choice but to pass this account to our debt collection agency, who will add more charges to the account." You can bold the "seventy-two hours" to make those words stand out. Emphasize that the client should take this final demand letter seriously and pay up. For example, you could write, "We therefore suggest that you take this matter seriously and pay your balance in full as soon as possible." You should send this one through the post, using certified mail, return receipt requested. If you don't hear back from the customer, then go ahead and send the account to collections or suewhichever you threatened in the letter.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create an image with your words. Describe what kind of art you make. Write the methods you used to make your art. Write down why you make your art. Use clear concise language.

Answer:
Your artist's statement should stand on its own. Someone should be able to read your statement and imagine what your work looks like. Create a list of words and phrases that describe your work, your process, and your influences. Once you have created your list, edit down your list to the items that most reflect your work and who you are as an artist. Create sentences using the words and phrases that you have identified. You can combine and arrange your sentences until they flow in a logical order. You may need to repeat this process multiple times until you are satisfied with the outcome. Also think about the time and space that you would like the reader to view your work. This section of your statement is where you write exactly what you make. Let your readers know what your project is. Include information about why you are interested in this type of work and any themes that may be found in your work. You can describe your art in any way that you choose. Just remember that you must support your description with the how and why you make the art. Once you describe the art you make, describe the methods you use to make the art. What materials (e.g. paint, wood, paper, etc.) do you use? What tools (e.g. brush, hands, etc.) did you use? Do you paint on the floor or do you use an easel? Do you always listen to music when you work? What techniques do you use? You do not have to write down every single step of the process that was used to create the work. Note the things that are most important. If you do something particularly unusual during your process, include that in your statement. Your motivation and purpose for creating art provides a context for people that view your art. It also helps people understand your point of view as an artist. Is your art commentary on current events or social circumstances? Are you trying to draw connections between different concepts? Are you using your art to tell a story? What does your art mean to you? If your motivations changed while you were working on the project, let the audience know that is well. Maybe you were influenced by a trip you took, a book you read, a movie, or a family member. All of these things help the audience get a better understanding of you and your work. For example, if you wanted your art discussed within the context of feminism, you should clearly outline that in this part of your statement. Your statement should be easy to understand. Do not include any language that is too specific to the art world. Also avoid using complicated, complex words. Your statement should sound genuine and real. Your statement should add information that can not be gathered from looking at your art. Do not use the statement to simply describe what the audience can see with their own eyes. Try not to use a quote from another artists or philosopher. If you do use a quote, do not use more than one and keep it short. Also be sure that you have correctly interpreted the quote. Avoid phrases such as "I am trying to," "I am hoping to," and "I would like to." Just state what you have done. Be as objective as possible. Your statement should not be used to promote your art or "talk it up." Let your audience interpret your work on their own.
