Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write down a list of assignments you have immediately so you don't forget. Make a cheat sheet. Keep your folder, backpack, and locker tidy. Pick a study buddy.

Answer: You may want to get a special agenda book or a planner for this purpose, but in a pinch, a small notebook or the Notes feature on your phone can work. Check this before you leave school every day so that you bring everything you need home with you. If you're not sure what problem sets you're supposed to do, or you left your worksheet in the cafeteria, then you'll waste valuable time trying to figure out what you're supposed to do. No, you won't be using it unfairly in exams: a cheat sheet is a piece of paper with your most important notes on it. You'll want to record key ideas, theorems, and formulas on it, as well as any notes or diagrams you find particularly helpful. Make a new cheat sheet for every new unit, and update it at the end of class (or soon after) if you've learned new things that day. You might want to include sample problems with the solution and steps needed to get there. Don't write down too many examples, though--the beauty of a cheat sheet is in its brevity. Make sure your cheat sheet fits you. You probably have some areas of math that come really easily to you. Conversely, you probably have some that are more difficult. Structure your cheat sheet around them! You might want to emphasize a subject you need to focus on (like multiplying fractions) or a studying strategy (like remembering to check your work). This will make it easier to find your assignments and will help make sure that you hand them in looking good rather than crumpled up. Also, it will keep you from getting distracted by the mess when you should be studying instead. Clean out your locker on a specific day every week. If you organize it regularly, the mess won't have a chance to build up. Some people find it helpful to color-code their supplies (a blue folder, notebook, and textbook cover for math; a green folder, notebook, and textbook cover for science)--experiment until you find a system that makes it easy for you to remember important things! Choose a classmate you respect for their conscientiousness, and check-in with them before you leave school. If you both agree on what you think the homework is, there's a good chance you're both right.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look at bridal magazines. Narrow down the characteristics of your ideal dress. Use the Internet to individualize your research. Make a collage of your favorite styles. Consolidate your research.

Answer: Bridal magazines are a great way to get a fuller sense of what kinds of dresses are on the market. Even though you may have an idea of what kind of fit you're looking for, there are still many other factors to choosing the perfect dress. Apart from fit, there are also several other elements that are important to narrow down what style of dress you want. Picking out how you want your ideal dress to look mostly has to do with personal preference and style. Think about the neckline of your dress. Do you prefer a high neck, a scoop neck, a V-neck, or another kind of neckline? Consider whether you prefer the look of gauzy, flowy dresses or ones that are more fitted. Think about the color of your ideal dress. Is it a traditional white dress or another color? If you like white dresses, think about whether you like pure white or a shade of off-white. Think about what length you would like, and what would suit you. Also consider what amount of detailing you want for your dress. While some brides like intricate beading and embellishments, some prefer unembellished gowns where the fabric and the cut make the statement. The Internet is another great resource to turn to. Not only are there thousands of great sites that have wedding dress picture galleries, but you can also search for your preference in dresses. Now that you have narrowed down the unique characteristics of your dress, do a Google search of these elements for inspiration. You can Google phrases like "glittery wedding gown" or "V neck wedding dress" if you have a sense of what you want your dress to look like beyond its fit. Take images that you have collected of your favorite wedding dresses and styles. You can print them out to make a physical collage, or you can make a Pinterest board so you can access the pictures from your computer. Sometimes making a collage or board can make sense of what kind of dresses you like. You may not really know why you like a dress when you look at it individually, but if you put pictures together of different dresses you like, you may start to see similarities in style. Before you go shopping for dresses, you want to make sure that you have all your research with you. This can make the whole process of shopping easier, and it will help whoever is fitting you know what you want. Make sure to consolidate your research, whether it be pictures, collages or notes. You can even create a kind of "mission statement" from your research, something like "I am looking for an off-white floor-length empire dress."

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Treat and wash the stain as soon as possible. Avoid rubbing the wood stain. Wear gloves to treat the stained clothes.

Answer:
The faster you get to the wood stain, the more likely it is that you'll be able to remove it. Wash the stained item as soon as you discover the wood stain. If you find the stain and it has already dried, you can still attempt to wash it out. But it might not be as effective. If you rub the stain (especially if it is still wet), you run the risk of making the stain bigger and spreading to other parts of the fabric. Rubbing it can also push the stain deeper into the fibers of the fabric and make it set into the fibers more firmly. If you must rub the stain (in order to clean it, for example), try to rub the stained part of the cloth against itself as best you can, leaving the unstained part alone. If you've got a wood stain on your clothes, you should wear protective gloves as you attempt to remove the stain. This will protect your hands and skin from coming into contact with any potentially harmful stain-removal products. Rubber gloves work best for this kind of protection.
