Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Trace the alphabet numerous times. Use templates to perfect your spacing.

Answer: Select and print a sample calligraphy alphabet and cover it with a piece of tracing paper. Try to recreate the strokes of the alphabet letters until you can successfully write the letters on your own. Calligraphy templates will help you master letter formation and keep your spacing consistent. They also keep your letters and words from slanting up or down across the page. Do an Internet search for free guids or templates, or pick up a calligraphy guidebook to practice with.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prepare the tree. Remove the tree and clean the roots. Prune the roots. Prepare the pot. Pot the tree. Care for your new bonsai tree.

Answer: If you've just bought a Bonsai from the store and it came in an unappealing plastic container or you've been growing your own Bonsai tree and finally want to put it in the perfect pot, you'll need to prepare it before transplanting it. First, ensure the tree has been pruned to the shape you desire. If you'd like the tree to grow a certain way after you re-pot it, wrap a sturdy wire around the tree or branch to gently direct its growth. You want your tree in tip-top shape before you transplant it to a new pot, which can be taxing for the plant. Know that trees with seasonal life cycles (for instance, many deciduous trees) are best transplanted in the spring. Rising temperatures in the spring cause many plants to enter a state of increased growth, which means they'll recover from pruning and root trimming faster. You may want to reduce watering before re-potting. Dry, loose soil can be much easier to work with than damp soil. Carefully remove the plant from its current pot, making sure not to break or tear its main stem. You may want to use a potting shovel to help pry the plant out. Most of the roots will be cut before the plant is re-potted into the Bonsai pot. However, to have a clear view of the roots, it's usually necessary to brush away any of the dirt stuck to them. Clean the roots, brushing away any clumps of dirt obscuring your vision. Root rakes, chopsticks, tweezers, and similar tools are helpful for this process. The roots don't have to be spotless - just clean enough that you're able to see what you're doing while you prune them. If their growth is not adequately controlled, bonsai trees can easily outgrow their containers. To ensure your bonsai tree remains manageable and tidy, prune its roots when you pot it. Cut any large, thick roots and any upward-facing roots, leaving a network of long, slender roots that will sit near the surface of the soil. Water is absorbed from the root tips, so, in a small container, many thin root strands are generally better than a single large, deep one. Before placing the tree in the pot, ensure it has a base of fresh, new soil to sit on that gives it the desired height. At the bottom of your empty pot, add a layer of coarse-grain soil as a base. Then, add a finer, looser growing medium or soil above this. Use a soil or medium that drains well - regular garden soil can hold too much water and may drown the roots. Leave a small amount of space at the top of your pot so that you can cover your tree's roots. If your plant comes with a recommended soil texture, it will do best in that kind of soil. Position the tree in your new pot in the desired orientation. Finish adding your fine, well-draining soil or growing medium to the pot, making sure to cover the tree's root system. If desired, you may add a final layer of moss or gravel. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this can help hold the tree in place. If your tree isn't staying upright in your new pot, run a heavy gauge wire from the bottom of the pot through the drainage holes on the bottom of the pot. Tie the wire around the root system in order to hold the plant in place. You may want to install mesh screens over the pot's drainage holes to prevent soil erosion, which occurs when water carries soil out of the pot via the drainage holes. Your new tree has just undergone a radical, somewhat traumatic process. For 2-3 weeks after re-potting your tree, leave it in a semi-shaded area, protected from the wind or harsh, direct sunlight. Water the plant, but don't use fertilizer until the roots have re-established themselves. By giving your tree a "breather" after re-potting, you allow it to adapt to its new home, and, in time, thrive. As noted above, deciduous trees with yearly life cycles experience a period of intensified growth in the spring. Because of this, it's best to re-pot deciduous trees in the spring after their winter dormancy has ended. If your deciduous tree is an indoor plant, after allowing it to take root following a re-potting, you may want to move it outside where the rising temperature and increased sunlight can trigger its natural "growth spurt." When your bonsai tree is established, you may want to experiment with adding other small plants to its pot. If carefully arranged and maintained (like your tree), these additions can allow you to craft a perfectly pleasing tableau. Try using plants that are native to the same area as your bonsai tree so that one water and light regimen will support all the plants in the pot equally well.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do not yell at a budgie. Avoid punishment. Do not use distractions like treats or toys.

Answer: Yelling at a budgie can backfire in one of two ways. Yelling can excite a bird, causing him to repeat the behavior to elicit the reaction again. Yelling can also cause a budgie stress, which can lead to biting out of fear and anxiety. Do not yell at a budgie in response to biting. Punishment will only increase a budgie's sense of anxiety. It can also cause undo stress and diminish the bond you have with a budgie. Avoid punishing budgies if you want to eliminate biting. Never squirt a budgie with a spray bottle to address biting. This will cause the bird to perceive you as a threat. Do not place a budgie in his cage as punishment. Budgies see their cages as safe, happy spaces. If your response to biting is to put the budgie in his cage, he will think his behavior is being rewarded. Many people address biting by distracting a budgie with a treat or a toy. However, much like putting a budgie in a cage, your budgie will see this as a reward for his behavior. This will encourage biting in the future.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Visit the perfume manufacturer's website. Request free samples directly from the perfume manufacturer. Look for newly launched perfumes online. Check out freebie websites. Look for free samples when shopping on department store websites.

Answer:
Check to see if the company is giving away free samples through their own online storefront. If the manufacturer is giving samples away, it will probably say so on their homepage. If you don't see a blurb about free samples on the homepage, look for a tab on the menu that says "Free Samples" or "Freebies." If the manufacturer isn't giving away any samples on their website, look for the company's physical address and write a letter to them directly to request free samples. This strategy doesn't work 100% of the time, but it's worth a try! It does pay off occasionally. Company addresses are usually located at the very bottom of the webpage, in small print, or they can be found under the "About Us" or "Contact Us" menu tabs. Mailing a physical letter is more likely to get you free samples than sending an email. Business websites are bombarded by emails every day, but physically receiving a personal letter from a customer is becoming a rarity. It will usually get someone's attention. It wouldn't hurt to throw a few compliments in the letter about how much you like their brand, how excited you are to try a sample, etc. Some perfume companies will happily give away free samples when they launch a new perfume. Keep an eye on your favorite brands so that you know when something new is coming out. Do a little additional online research on perfume brands that you aren't familiar with, as well. Check out their websites for possible samples, too. Try looking into newly launched perfume companies, as well. Investigate their websites for free sample opportunities. Brand new perfume companies are generally very happy to provide you with free samples, since they are very actively trying to develop a customer base. Freebie sites collect free offers and make them available to customers via their website. You won't always have complete control over which brands you can sample, but these sites are a good way to discover new products you may not have checked out otherwise. Always read the fine print on these freebie websites to make sure you know exactly how their process works before trying them. The most trustworthy freebie sites will never ask you for credit card information in order to receive free samples. Many department stores, like Sephora, offer up to three free samples with every online purchase you make with them. In most cases, you get to choose what kind of samples you want. The free samples will arrive packaged with the rest of your order. Online perfume stores will often include perfume samples with a purchase, as well. You usually don't get to choose which samples you get with those establishments, however.
