Q: Writing for a magazine is a bit different than other types of writing. It is informative, but it's also entertainment. You want to open the readers' eyes to something they've never noticed before. An essay you're writing for class is not likely something that your professor has never read in the past, unless you are in a postgraduate program. Also, in an essay, you're building an argument, while a magazine article is more story-based, though there is still an underlying point. Also, the writing style for most magazine articles tends to be more short and to the point, as well as being more fact-based (unless you are writing an editorial) rather than opinion-based. Writing an article is also different from many freelance writing jobs, as many of those are marketing-based, where the company employing you is trying to drive traffic to the site. While magazines also have this goal in mind, they tend to do it through using trending topics and entertaining readers rather than trying to trick search engines to drive their results higher. Again, research, research, research. The best sources are often people, so set up interviews. Make sure to record your interviews and take notes so that you have a backup system. Also, always be professional when conducting interviews: show up on time, dress nicely, and be polite. However, you can also use other resources, of course. Check local papers, archives, and books at the local libraryanything that will help you tell the story. Just remember that more current resources are generally considered better, especially in journalism. Outline exactly where you want your story to go. Remember that in a journal article you want to tell the story little by little, not all at once. Keep that in mind when making your outline. Begin with a great hook. A hook draws your reader in. It can be a short anecdote, a joke, or a shocking fact. Make sure whatever you choose is appropriate for the venue. The hook should be relevant, drawing your reader in to the story. In some ways, a magazine article isn't that different from a short story. You are leading up to a climax for the reader, and you want to spin your story well. I n that vein, make sure you keep the suspense going; that is, continue to drop in new details throughout the article, and make sure the story flows in a logical manner. For instance, instead of saying "June was a middle-aged housewife," you could say, "June spends her days at home caring for her two kids. She gave up a career in accounting to take care of her family." The second set of sentences provides more detail, allowing more space for the reader to connect with it. Like all journalism, space in magazines is at a premium. You will have a set word limit; stick with it. Also, short sentences make more sense in a format like a magazine, where small columns make long sentences look longer and more confusing. You don't want to draw too much on cliche, but most magazines will want you to wrap up the story nicely. Have a climax (a high point), and pull it altogether into the point your making.
A: Understand how magazine writing differs from other types of writing. Do your research. Organize your research. Begin writing. Continue with a strong, over-arching narrative. Include personable details, details that your readers can connect to. Use short sentences, and make it concise. Wrap it up.

Article: The most ideal place is in an open, fertile dirt area without grass. Avoid dirt with stones, twigs, oil leaks, or other debris in it. If you want deep mud, first make deep grooves, channels, or holes in the dirt. Make the spaces evenly, but near each other. Occasionally, use a stick (or your hand) to stir the dirt-mud around so it'll absorb the water. Keep using your stick to check the mud until it's the desired texture. As the mud gets wetter, stir and check it more often. Enjoy!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Find a place to make the mud. Make a trough. Use a hose or bucket to wet the dirt area. Stir as needed.

Problem: Article: Run the apple under clean water, turning it as necessary to remove any dirt and debris. Use either a knife or vegetable peeler to gently peel the skin off the apple. Try to remove only a thin layer of skin and keep most of the apple intact. It's easier to use a vegetable peeler, as you get more control and can trim less flesh off the apple. If you use a knife, point it away from your body as you peel the apple. Get a clean cutting board and place it on a flat surface. Set the apple with the stem-side up on the board. Make a series of vertical slices along the side of the apple, cutting just against the core. This will give you four pieces that should be about the same size. Once you've cut the apple into four pieces, place each piece on the cutting board with the flat side down. Use a knife to cut across each apple, slicing the chunks into thin slices. Aim for two to three slices per chunk.
Summary: Wash your apple. Remove the skin with a pairing knife or vegetable peeler. Place your apple on a cutting board. Cut the apple into four pieces. Cut your apple into thin slices.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Gmail has three categories of mails sorted for the incoming mails such as Primary, Social, and Promotion. You can add more categories or combined into one category. Creating Labels will help you to determine which mail is spam and which mail is important. Go to Settings -> Labels -> Create New Label. When you make a Label, you can select a mail and organize it to be sent to a certain Label upon the arrival by clicking on the down arrow beside the search box and putting the email address or a group of phrase.

SUMMARY: Sort your emails to help you prioritize what you deal with. Add Labels in the settings.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: 20 times. Jump rope 20 more times. 30 jumping jacks. Jump rope 20 times.
Summary: Jump rope Run to the end of the room or an area about the size of a volleyball court once and back. Do 10 push ups.

Q: Purchase a .080 inch (2.0 mm) diameter round monofilament line from a hardware store. Do not use a serrated or heavier line because it can overload the motor and cause overheating. You can also buy pre-threaded spools from Black and Decker's website or at some hardware stores. Feed the line through the hole and begin to wrap it around the spool. The more you overlap your spool, the more likely it is to get tangled when you start working with it. Instead, wrap the spool so that the line is wrapped next to itself, not over itself. Most Black and Decker models will have you wrap the string counter-clockwise. Allow for 6 inches (15.24 cm) of slack on the end of your line after you're done wrapping it around the spool. Cut the thread with gardening shears or sharp scissors and put the excess line through the eyelets on the spool to hold them in place. Repeat the steps to wind up and secure the other line on your spool. Again, follow the arrows when you are winding up the line.
A:
Thread your new line into the holes designated on your spool. Wind the line around the spool, following the arrows on the spool. Secure the line to the spool and cut the line. Thread and wind the other side of the spool.
