Consider who is being addressed or discussed in the original text. Think about what is being addressed or discussed. Mention where the text is set, if relevant. Finally, determine why the author is discussing or addressing the subject matter in the original text. For example, if you are writing about The Great Gatsby, you should address the two main characters in the novel (Jay Gatsby and his neighbor/the narrator Nick Carraway). You should also focus on what occurs, briefly, in the novel, where the novel takes place, and why Fitzgerald explores the lives of these two characters. Aim to have one to three supporting points at the most, as you do not want to make the summary paragraph too long. Use events from the text as well as quotes or points in the text to support your opening line. For example, if you are discussing an article, you may use the author's key arguments in the article as supporting points. If you are discussing a novel or short story, you may use the key events in the story as supporting points. Do not copy or paraphrase the original text. Use your own words in the summary. Avoid using the same language or word choice as the original text, unless you are quoting it directly. Keep in mind a summary paragraph should simply state the essential information in the original text. You do not need to present an opinion or argument about the text in the summary paragraph. This can be done in a separate paragraph or section in your paper. A summary paragraph should be no longer than six to eight sentences. Once you finish a draft of the summary paragraph, read it over and revise it so it is short and to the point. Remove any sentences or phrases that seem redundant or repetitive. You may also show the summary paragraph to a writing instructor or a friend to get feedback on it. Ask the person to make sure the summary paragraph includes the essential information about the text in a concise, clear way.

Connect the voltmeter's terminals to the input and output terminals on the pot. Turn the voltmeter on and turn the dial to feed a signal. Turn the knob on top of your pot to adjust the signal. If the signal reading on the voltmeter goes up and down when you turn the knob, your potentiometer works. If the voltmeter registers a signal from your pot but the device doesn't work when you turn your electronic on, then there's an issue with the connections you soldered. Turn your electronic device on and feed a signal to the pot by playing some music, hitting a guitar note, or turning a light on. Twist the shaft to the left to turn the audio or light down. Twist the shaft to the right to raise the volume or level of light. Twist the shaft all the way to the left to turn the output off. You can now use your pot to modify the amount of resistance that your signal receives. You can install a potentiometer with the shaft bare and exposed if you want. But if you want to upgrade the aesthetic of your potentiometer, you can always get a knob. There are tons of knobs on the market designed to slide over the shaft of a pot and make them look better. Search online or take you pot to an electronics store to see what options are available for your make and model.

Pick up the knife from your place setting with your dominant hand. Hold it with the index finger along the top part of the handle. In a standard place setting, the knife will be placed on the right side. This is because most people are right-handed. Pick up the fork from the table using your non-dominant hand. Hold it with the points facing downward towards your food and your index finger on the back of the handle. For example, if you are right-handed, then pick the fork up with your left hand. Flip it so the pointy parts, called the tines, are facing the table and place the tip of your index finger on the back of the handle around the part where the handle is curved. . Place the tines of the fork against the food you want to cut and slice off a piece with the knife. Only cut a bite at a time and eat it before you cut the next piece. You should never place your cutlery down on the table after cutting your food and starting to eat. Cutting up all your food at once and then placing your knife down is also considered an etiquette no-no. In some cases, it is acceptable to eat using only a fork. For example, when you are eating just a salad or a bowl of spaghetti, it is not necessary to use a knife. Keep your knife in your dominant hand the whole time you are eating. It is, of course, acceptable to use your fork to scoop certain types of foods that naturally can't be speared. You can use the knife to help push food that can't be speared, like rice, onto your fork. This is the only time it is considered polite to place your fork and knife down during dining. Place all cutlery meant for that course, even if you didn't use a particular utensil, onto the plate when you are finished. For example, if the main course was spaghetti and you only used a fork to eat it, you should still place the knife on the plate when you are finished eating. Make sure to place the fork tines-down to indicate that you are finished. For example, this is especially important if you are in a European restaurant and you want the waiter to see that you are done.
