Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use pieces of cardboard to protect your home from the paint. Take the gutters off if you don't want to use cardboard. Get an oil-based primer that is rust-preventing. Use an airless sprayer to apply the primer quickly. Apply a coat of primer with a paintbrush or roller if you don't have a sprayer. Allow the primer to air dry.

Answer: Rest small pieces of cardboard or poster board on top of and behind the gutters to make sure paint does not get on your home. Use painter's tape to attach the cardboard to the top of the gutters, especially if it's windy outside. Thoroughly cover the soffit, fascia, and siding of your home so paint does not get on it. Use old boxes or scrap cardboard. Cut the cardboard to fit the top of the gutters, especially the corners. You do not need to use painter's tape to mask the house as long as you place cardboard on the gutters to protect the house.

If you opt to use a sprayer, mask the roof, fascia, and siding to prevent overspray from getting on your home. Keep a damp cloth on hand to wipe up any paint that gets on unwanted areas. Use the low pressure setting on the sprayer to apply one light coat of primer. Spray the sides and bottom of the gutters to prime them. Wear a respirator mask when you use the sprayer to protect yourself from the paint fumes. If you'd prefer to prime the gutters the old-fashioned way, use a paintbrush or roller that is 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2cm) wide. Paint a thin coat of primer on the sides and bottom of the gutters. Do not apply too much primer, as this can make it difficult for the top coat to spread smoothly and evenly on the gutters. If you use a fast drying oil-based primer, it will usually take about 1-2 hours to dry. Check the label on the primer to determine the drying time. Make sure the primer is completely dry before you apply the top coat.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep a firm grip on both chopsticks to keep them from shifting. Maintain gentle pressure on the top chopstick to hold onto your food.

Answer: If necessary, pause for a moment and use your non-dominant hand to reset both chopsticks, remembering to lay the bottom one across your ring finger and the base of your thumb and keep the top one poised like a pencil. The further up or down your chopsticks slide, the more difficult it will become to use them. Hold your chopsticks securely, but don't squeeze them. This will just tire out your hand and cause your technique to deteriorate. Wooden and bamboo chopsticks tend to be better for beginners, since they offer a little more traction against your hand and one another. Open your chopsticks and clamp them down on a bite-sized piece of whatever you're eating. As you raise the bite to your mouth, concentrate on pressing down lightly on the upper chopstick. This will keep the food pinned between the top and bottom chopsticks, ensuring that it doesn't go anywhere. Like anything else, becoming proficient with chopsticks just takes practice. Try moving foods of various shapes, sizes, and textures from one bowl to another slowly. This fun exercise will help you get the fundamentals down. Remember, the bottom chopstick is just there to provide support from beneath. The top chopstick is the one that should be doing all of the work.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick a topic that you would like to write your letter about. Word your topic so that it's answerable by a "yes" or a "no. Research both sides of the topic to ensure you fully understand it. Determine the age and occupation of the letter's audience.

Answer:
Make sure that it has several sides and that you are familiar with the topic. Do some research to make sure that you are aware of all of the different sides on this topic, so that you can represent them in the pros and cons charts. If you're given a range of topics for a school assignment, write about something that you're passionate about. For example, if you're passionate about the wellbeing of marine animals, you could choose to write about the ethics of using them for product testing and experimentation. It's difficult to write a convincing letter about something you don't care about. " This will ensure that your topic is defensible and well worded. Your topic should be clear-cut and should have strong arguments to support it. A topic like "Should cigarettes be marketed to teens?" is better worded than a topic like "Should cigarettes be marketed to teens, adults, and the elderly?" because it is more specific. For example, the topic "murder should be legal" is not defensible, since there are no convincing arguments that support an answer of "yes." So, a topic like: "Should the state pass legislation forbidding drivers to text while driving?" is much better. Researching is an important component of preparing to write a persuasive letter. Start your research by searching for opinion pieces about your topic online. Also look for articles about your topic by respected online and print news media. For example, there may be valid reasons that someone would object to the state passing legislation to prohibit in-car texting. But, you'll never be able to account for and counter these reasons if you don't put in the research to find them out in the first place. Maybe many people feel that that legislation wouldn't go far enough, and that the state should ban cell phones in cars altogether, no matter what they're being used for! The tone and content of your written letter will differ based on the intended audience. So, are you writing to students and kids who are your own age? Your school principal? Adults? Political representatives and decision makers? When dealing with an older audience, you can use a more sophisticated vocabulary. The inverse applies when dealing with a young audience. For example, for an older audience, write something like, "A lasting political commitment to phone-free driving will ensure the survival of many who otherwise could lose their lives to a distracted driver on the phone." On the other hand, for a younger audience, write, "Not allowing people to use phones in the car will reduce accidents. This will help keep more people alive."
