In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In the morning, make a big deal about not completing a really important assignment - act panicked, pretend to cry, and furiously try to finish your work. If your parents see you so upset, they might take pity on you and let you stay at home to finish your homework. This won't work with every parent. Some parents will send you to school so that you can learn a valuable lesson about finishing your work on time. If your parents expect you to get to the bus stop by yourself, simply missing your bus will guarantee you a day off. Walk slowly to the bus stop or leave the house too late. Run behind the bus, then act sad that you missed it. Find some place hide so that you don't get caught by your parents, or head home and tell your parents that you missed your bus. If your parents are strict, you might want to wait until they've left for work before heading home; otherwise, they may drive you to school! Know your risks! If your neighbour sees that you missed the bus, they may tell your parents. You can move it forward as far ahead as 1 or 2 hours, to as little as 30 minutes. When the alarm rings, your parents will panic about being late and (probably) won't have time to take you to school. For example, if the alarm is supposed to go off at 6am, change it to go off at 7 or 8am. If one parent sets the alarm, you'll only have to change one alarm. However, if there are multiple alarms, you'll have to change them all. Do this at your own risk. Be considerate of your parent's work. If you make them extremely late, they could get in trouble.
Summary: Pretend not to finish your homework. Miss your bus. Change your parents' alarm while they're sleeping.

Place a level against the soil in several spots across the circle. Shovel or rake the soil if necessary to ensure each area has a difference of no more than 2in (5.1cm). Instead of using a level, you can use string. Place stakes around the area's border and connect them with strings lowered onto the soil. The spots that don't reach the string are lower than the ones that do. Start with 2 or 3 bags of sand and get more as needed. Concrete sand tends to hold up best, but yellow or white sand are also safe to use. Rake the sand to distribute it evenly. Shovel in more sand as needed to level the area. More sand is needed to to level out lower areas, so dump more of the sand there. Pick up a 2in 4in (5.1cm 10.2cm) piece of wood from the store. It needs to span all the way across the area you're leveling. If 1 board is too short, get 2 or more boards and fasten them together using small brace pieces and deck screws. For instance, if your pool is 15ft (4.6m) wide, connect 2 8ft (2.4m) boards. Set the level on top of the board and fasten it in place with masking tape. This makes it easy to use as a guide while moving the beam. If the level and board appear even with the ground, you'll know that the ground is flat enough for the pool. First, drill a 38in (9.5mm) hole all the way through the board. You can use a tape measure to find the center point. Insert a 38in (0.95cm) rod from the home improvement store into the hole, then hammer it into the ground. Step into the circle and rotate the board by pulling 1 end toward you as you walk backwards. It will spin in place because of the metal rod. Keep an eye on the level to note when the ground appears uneven, and use the board to even out the sand. Your shoes will leave divots in the sand. These will fill in as you rotate the board. When you're done rotating it, step out of the circle and shovel sand into the remaining divots. Thoroughly wet the sand with water to compact and level it. The entire circle should be soaked so you can tamp the sand. If you'd like to rely on rain to compact the sand, wait until you've gotten about 12in (1.3cm) of rain, which should be enough to completely soak the sand. Get a tamper from the home improvement store or create one by weighing down a wood block with a heavy chain. Start on the outside edges of the circle and work inwards. Make sure you use the tamper tool everywhere to compact the sand. Walk on the sand to test it, and when you don't leave footprints, this area is ready for construction. The sand may need to be soaked and tamped down multiple times to be completely hardened.

One-sentence summary -- Shovel and rake the soil to get it level. Spread sand over the leveled area. Lay a wooden beam across the sand. Place a level on top of the beam. Insert a metal rod through the beam's center. Pull 1 end of the board toward you to rotate it. Compact the sand by spraying it with a hose. Tamp down the sand until it doesn't leave footprints.

Problem: Article: It is appropriate and courteous to pick up any trash or garbage before dropping your car off with a valet service. As the valet workers will be driving your car, it is respectful to tidy up and ensure that their experience driving your car is not a negative one. Remove any trash or leftover items of food at a gas station or service station before starting your trip. Although washing the exterior of your car is not necessary, do so if your car is extremely dirty. Valet parking is a classy service, so ensuring that your car is presentable will be a nice touch before entering the drop off zone. It is a nice touch to hang an air freshener in your car if you smoke or if you've eaten any food in the car recently. Tipping your valet is an important thing to do, as valet jobs are difficult and drivers are sometimes reliant on tips to complete their full minimum wage. Plan on spending $2 - $5 (USD) on tips when you drop off your car, and 2 to 5 dollars when you pick your car back up. Taking out ten dollars in cash and saving it specifically for tipping will keep you from not having any cash on hand when the time comes. Although a two to five-dollar tip is average, you can tip more if your valet was particularly professional and hard working. Before arriving at your destination, place your valuables in a bag, or take them out of your car before you leave for your destination. Although you should not assume that the valet will steal anything from you, there is no reason to risk theft by leaving something expensive in your car. Things like electronics, wallets, or sentimental items should all be removed prior to dropping your car off. If you have items that you are not particularly worried about, you can tuck them under the seats of your car. The prices for valet services could vary significantly depending on where you are dropping off your car. Some businesses will provide complimentary valet parking, but others will charge you. Checking beforehand will allow you to prepare for the expense. Ask if they take credit or debit cards, or if they only accept cash. If you are using valet services at a hotel, they will mostly like charge you a daily rate. When dropping your car off at the valet, there is a chance that your key could be lost. Although this is rare, it is not worth risking your entire key ring. Either bring a spare car key to give the valet worker, or take the key off the ring and bring the rest of your keys with you, keeping them safe and secure. Giving your entire key ring to the valet worker is also a pain for them, especially if you have an abundance of keys on your ring.
Summary:
Clean your car before entering the drop off zone. Stop to get some cash for tips beforehand. Remove any valuable personal items from the car. Call ahead for the price of the valet. Remove your car key from the rest of your keys.
