Problem: Article: Wrap the measuring tape around the center of your neck. Make sure the tape is flat against your neck and not bunched up or twisted. Note the measurement you get. Don't measure your neck with the measuring tape wrapped too tightly around it or your bow tie will be too tight. You should be able to fit your finger in between your neck and the measuring tape. Lay your bow tie on a flat surface so the back of the bow tie is facing up. You should see a row of numbers going across the thin part of your bow tie. Find the number that matches the measurement you took of your neck. For example, if your neck measurement was 15 inches (38cm), look for the number 15 (38) on your bow tie. The t-hook will look like a small plastic or metal hook that's in the shape of a capital "t." Once the t-hook is in the hole, gently pull on it to make sure it's secure. Now that the t-hook is hooked into the number that corresponds with your neck size, your bow tie should fit you when you tie it around your neck.
Summary: Measure the circumference of your neck with measuring tape. Look for the corresponding measurement on the inside of your bow tie. Insert the t-hook on your bow tie into the hole next to the right number.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: By the time you obtain state licensure as an environmental engineer, you will already have several years of work experience under your belt. With licensure, however, your opportunities will likely grow substantially, and a new survey of your options may be in order. Consider moving to a state that employs many environmental engineers. For example, large numbers of environmental engineers find work in Massachusetts, while New Mexico and Alaska's engineers tend to get the highest average wages. Inquire with the companies that you worked for during engineering co-op programs or internships. People inside the company can vouch for your work ethic and experience, and you may have an easier time landing a competitive job. Apply for work with the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or a state or local agency with a similar focus. Renew your application regularly if you don't get a job when you first apply. Look for jobs on specialized websites, for instance the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (aaees.org). The engineering field is always changing as new technologies, regulations, problems, and solutions emerge, so it is important to stay on top of things in order to advance your career. For instance, the explosive growth in natural gas drilling using hydraulic fracturing (or "fracking") has created new challenges (and new job opportunities) for environmental engineers. Some states may require continuing education credits or some other form of evidence that you remain up-to-date with the profession in order to retain your license. The AAEES website is a good starting point for recent publications and other information regarding environmental engineering (http://www.aaees.org/). After you become a professional engineer, you can apply to the National Society of Professional Engineers or the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists for board certification. A professional certification can help you network and improve your credentials as you look for senior engineering jobs. AAEES certification, for instance, requires a combination of testing, work experience, proof of ongoing professional development, valid licensing, and "high ethical integrity." Contact the organization for more specific information on the certification process.

SUMMARY: Study the job market. Remain engaged within the profession. Seek board certification.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The rules and information provided in this article will not teach you everything you need to know about English grammar. This article is intended to serve as a starting point in your studies. The actual subject of English grammar is much more complex, and you will need to devote a lot of time and effort if you really want to learn it. If you are learning English as a second language, compare the rules of English grammar to the grammar rules of your native language. Some aspects will be similar while others will differ. When the rules are the same, rely on the knowledge you have of your native grammar to help you with English grammar. When the rules differ, devote more time and concentration on practicing those aspects of English grammar as you study. People who do a lot of reading tend to be more proficient with English grammar in their own writing and speech. This does not refer to grammar books. Grammar books are helpful, of course, but the principle of this step is a different one. Read books, magazines, or other materials written in English that you enjoy. The more often you read, the more familiar you will naturally become with the way that grammar is used in word, sentence, and paragraph levels. Learning the rules of English grammar is an important step, but you will be able to put those rules into practice better if you are actually used to seeing proper grammar. If you are currently in school, look for a special elective class that focuses on grammar or a tutoring opportunity provided through your school. If you are no longer in school, consider taking a grammar class at a community college, community center, or library. You could also look for a class online. For non-native English speakers, look for classes specifically designed for students who are learning English as a secondary language. These classes are usually labeled as ESL (English as a Second Language), ENL (English as a New Language), or ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes. If formal classes do not help, find a mentor who can review grammar rules with you one-on-one. This mentor could be a teacher, professor, or professional tutor. On the other hand, it could also be a parent, sibling, friend, or other relative who has a strong grasp of the English language and is willing to help out. Go to a bookstore and purchase an English grammar workbook, or hop online and access some free grammar resources through the Internet. As a general rule, look for Internet sources that come from educational (.edu) websites. Examples include: The Guide to Grammar and Writing by Capital Community College Foundation (http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/) Purdue University's Online Writing Lab (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/1/5/) Above all else, practice makes perfect. The more you can practice English grammar, the better you'll get with it.
Summary:
Understand that this is just the beginning. Compare grammar rules. Do a lot of reading. Take a class. Find a mentor. Look for additional information on your own. Practice.
