Problem: Write an article based on this summary: State your thesis statement correctly. Get the sound right. Know where to place a thesis statement. Limit a thesis statement to one or two sentences in length.

Answer: A thesis statement conveys to the reader the points and/or arguments you wish to make in a paper. It serves as a road map by telling the reader the direction of your argument or analysis and how you will interpret the importance of the subject. In the most simple of terms, a thesis statement answers the question, "What is this paper about?" Additionally, a thesis statement is an assertion, not a fact or observation. Facts are used within the paper to support your thesis. takes a stand, meaning it announces your position towards a particular topic. is the main idea and explains what you intend to discuss. answers a specific question and explains how you plan to support your argument. is debatable. Someone should be able to argue an alternate position, or conversely, support your claims. You want your thesis statement to be identifiable as a thesis statement. You do this by taking a very particular tone and using specific kinds of phrasing and words. Use words like "because" and language which is firm and definitive. Example thesis statements with good statement language include: "Because of William the Conqueror's campaign into England, that nation developed the strength and culture it would need to eventually build the British Empire." "Hemingway significantly changed literature by normalizing simplistic writing and frank tone." Because of the role thesis statements play, they appear at the beginning of the paper, usually at the end of the first paragraph or somewhere in the introduction. Although most people look for the thesis at the end of the first paragraph, its location can depend on a number of factors such as how lengthy of an introduction you need before you can introduce your thesis or the length of your paper. Thesis statements are clear and to-the-point, which helps the reader identify the topic and direction of the paper, as well as your position towards the subject.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be gentle and warm up with some stretches first. Hold your right arm out straight with your palm flat. Pull back your shoulder as far as you can so your shoulder blade stick out. Wrap your arm around your chin. Push/pull your arm backward. Crane your neck forward. Stick your tongue out as far as it will go.

Answer: Get your neck loose by rotating it around gently a few times and stretch your shoulders out by rotating them around your body. Roll your neck around clockwise five times, then counter-clockwise for a simple neck stretch. Wrap each arm around your body as if you were giving yourself a hug. With your other arm, hold it in place for a count of 15, then repeat with the other arm. Relax your shoulders and your hand. Don't clench your fist. Imagine someone where pushing on your fingertips and pushing your arm straight back. Loosen up your shoulder a bit. Bring your arm across your body as far as it can, bring your elbow as close as possible to your mouth. This is the tricky part and can cause some discomfort. Use your left hand to guide back the right arm, keeping your shoulder back as possible. Stretch your neck forward, chin out, as far as you can. Try to think of it like you're going to grab your elbow with your chin. This will help you get the most distance out of your stretch. If you've got the right build for it, you should be able to stretch your tongue to your elbow in this position. If at this point, you can't touch your tongue to your elbow, stop. This stretch will get your elbow as close as possible to your mouth as possible. If you can't, it's because your upper arm is too long and no amount of stretching will make it happen. Don't risk hyperextending your shoulder by yanking on it too hard.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Support him. Build a deeper trust. Monitor body language. Compliment him. Go out with your friends. Give him his own space. Don't play hard to get.

Answer: You want to be around him, so you have to treat him like you value his company. Encourage him during difficult times. If he had a rough day, reassure him. Wish him luck for tomorrow. Support his goals. Never turn against him when someone's fighting with him. Instead, show that you appreciate him by complimenting his positive qualities and actions. This includes focusing your attention on him. Don't get distracted by the attention from other boys. A relationship can't operate without trust. Over time, show him that he can open up to you about whatever he thinks or feels. Listen to him without judgment and don't gossip with your friends. The gossip, even if it doesn't come back to you, will make him reluctant to tell you anything and will stop you from bonding. To build this trust, you'll also have to share your own life when appropriate. Confide your fears, hopes, and problems. Look at the signs and adjust your approach. If he's interested in you, he'll want to be around you and make excuses to be close. He'll lean towards you, keep his legs and arms uncrossed, his hands unclenched, and have his toes pointed at you. He may also make extended eye contact or look down bashfully. These are only signs, so they don't guarantee he likes you enough to be your boyfriend. Continue spending time with him to gauge his feelings. If he doesn't do many of these signs, he still may like you. He may be good at hiding his feelings or shy. If his body language is negative, stop what you're doing. Readjust your behavior by repeating steps. He may simply not be into you. Mirroring body language often helps. If he's tilting his head while looking at you, keep your head tilted too, for instance. Just don't overdo it, and don't be too obvious. You don't want him to think you are making fun or mimicking him. Eye contact and gentle touch are starts to more serious flirting. Start making your intentions more concrete. Come up with clever lines at opportune times that show you appreciate him and aren't afraid to show it. For example, tell him, "You should wear that shirt, it makes you look cute" before you see him. Add in appropriate touches, such as putting a hand on his shirt as you pick up the material between your fingers. Don't go overboard on this. Appear cool and controlled or else you run the risk of smothering him with attention. You want to spend time with him, but too much time means you're too close. You have to make him want to be with you and miss you while you're not around. Don't tend to his needs all the time. Put down the phone on occasion, after you let him know you're going out, and make yourself seem socially desirable. Even in a relationship, you need to live your own life. Tend to those other aspects, such as friends, school, or work. It's important that you don't smother him either. Being needy, demanding all his attention is a sure way to extinguish any feelings he's developing. Keep your own distance from time to time. The absence can make him realize how much he needs you, even if the space you gave him came from something like sleeping in and missing his texts for a few hours. You may think that responding to his text immediately or answering the phone right away when he calls will make you seem desperate, but also keep in mind that it's rude to keep people waiting for hours. It is one thing if you weren't home or didn't see the text for some reason. Playing hard to get often annoys guys and may even make him think you aren't interested.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be affectionate with touch in a way that feels comfortable to you. Take an interest in his interests. Go to his events to support him. Do nice things for him without being asked. Spend time with his friends. Keep your promises.

Answer:
Different people show affection in different ways. You might show your affection by holding hands, hugging, caressing, cuddling, kissing, or having sex. Do what feels natural and comfortable to you. Talk to your boyfriend about boundaries. What kinds of touching are you comfortable with? How do you feel about PDA? Don't feel pressured to have sex. It's a big decision, and should be something you talk about in depth with your boyfriend and your parents. You may not be the biggest fan of skateboarding, but if it's important to your boyfriend, you should at least learn about it. Watch him perform at the skate rink, and listen when he talks about his newest skate trick. Ask him questions about the things he loves to do. If he loves playing the piano, you could ask, "What's your favorite song to play?" Your boyfriend should also make an effort to understand your interests. Share with your boyfriend what interests you as well to ensure that you are both learning about each other's interests. If he's on the soccer team, show up at his games and cheer as loudly as you can. If he's in a band, go to a few of their gigs and watch him jam out. He might ask you to come, but you should show up to some of his performances and games without being asked. He'll value your support. For sporting events, make a poster with his name on it and bring your loudest cheering voice! Bake him cookies just because, or help him work through a tough homework assignment. These acts of kindness, no matter how small, show that you care. Surprise him with a back massage after a tough day. Leave encouraging notes in his backpack or locker. Say something cute like, "Just wanted to tell you that you're awesome!" You don't have to be best friends with his friends--you don't even have to like them that much. However, when he wants all of you to hang out together, don't make up excuses. His friends are important to him. Showing you value his friends shows that you value him. The best thing you can do is show up and try to be friendly. Try to understand why your boyfriend loves his friends. Maybe you'll learn to love them, too! Remember that it takes time to get to know people. If you feel like you don't click with his friends right away, be patient. Your boyfriend should be able to trust you. If he tells you a secret, don't turn around and tell your best friend. If you promise you'll be at his game, don't bail at the last minute because you'd rather do something else. Keeping your promises shows you're loyal and committed to the relationship.
