Let them know that, while you don't want to go to prom with them, you're happy to take a picture together or dance with them if you bump into each other at the event. Maybe you know someone else who would love to go with them, or they have someone else they were also thinking of asking. Ask them if they want you to put in a good word for them or find out if someone else is interested. To offer them help with finding another date, you could say, "I'm sorry that I can't go with you; is there anyone else you were thinking of asking? Maybe I can help set you two up!" If you know someone else who is interested, try, "Thank you for asking, but I have to say no. I know someone else who would love for you to ask them, though!" If you aren't going to prom, or want to go with someone else, let them know you aren't against hanging out with them some other time. Offer to plan an outing where you can spend some time together away from prom. For example, you could say, "I'm flattered you've asked me, but I already have other plans. How about we hang out some other time and maybe grab some pizza?" It's hard to muster up the courage to ask someone to be your date to prom, so try not to hurt their feelings. Stay kind, polite, and empathetic: use a softer tone of voice, don't laugh at them, and don't gossip about them to others.

Summary: Offer to hang out with them at prom. Offer to help them find another date. Say you'd love to hang out, just not at prom. Be kind.

Turn off the printer and unplug it. Pop off the top cover for top-loaded printers, or the front cover for front-loaded printers. If it's a laser printer, wait 10-30 minutes before reaching inside (or up to an hour for some models). Parts inside can get dangerously hot. Shine a flashlight into the inner workings, near the input tray. You should see a long cylindrical rubber object, or a rod with small rubber objects attached to it. These rubber parts are the rollers that feed the paper into the machine. If you do not see the rollers, try turning the paper upside down, or opening a back or side panel. You may need to check the manual to figure out how to remove these panels. If your roller is clearly broken, that's the source of your problem. Refer to your printer manual or contact the manufacturer to find out whether your roller is replaceable. If your printer displays a "paper jam" error message when there's no paper stuck inside, there's probably some other blockage. Inspect the length of this roller for objects that have fallen into the printer. Remove these with tweezers or by turning the printer upside down. Swab the feed rollers with your slightly damp cloth. If your rollers don't rotate, snap out the clips holding them in and remove them so you can clean every side.Toner cloth tears easily. Move slowly to avoid leaving shreds behind that can clog your printer. Jams can also happen at other parts of the printer. Remove the printer tray and any other removable covers. All laser printers and some inkjets have a second pair of rollers near the output tray. A paper jam error could mean an object has fallen against these. Warning: The "output rollers" on the laser printers get hot enough to cause burns. These are actually "fusers" which bake the ink onto the paper. Warning: These rollers are close to delicate machinery, and on laser printers they require special treatment. It's best to refer to your printer manual for precise cleaning instructions.

Summary: Remove the cover. Locate the feed rollers. Check the feed rollers for debris. Clean the rollers. Check other parts for debris.

If you're in a hurry, you might not want to make an outline. However, this simple step will save you time in the end. An outline lets you map out your entire essay, start to finish. After that, all you have to do is fill in the gaps. Figure out the topic sentence, or thesis, of your report. This is the foundation of your entire report. For example, you could write, "Central Park, founded in 1891, is still a hub of activity in the Hillsdale community." Lay out the body of the report. To use the park example, you might have a paragraph discussing historical information, one on ways the park has evolved, and one on the role the park serves in modern times. Summarize your conclusion. Reiterate the point you want to make in your report one more time. The introduction should contain your topic sentence as well as a summary of the arguments you'll be presenting in order to back up your claim. Aim for an introduction that's at least four sentences long. Since this is the beginning of the report, it's your chance to engage readers (or impress your teacher) and give them a taste of what is to come. Take a look at your outline and begin expanding on the points you made. This is your chance to use the research you gathered and the ideas you brainstormed early in the process. Each paragraph in the body of your report should be at least four or five sentences long. More importantly, it should contain substantial information backed with good examples and facts that you have researched. Never copy source material word for word. You should always paraphrase, or summarize, the information in your own words. Many teachers require that a report have at least three body paragraphs in addition to the introduction and conclusion. Each paragraph should build on the last, leading to the conclusion. If you're having trouble setting up your paragraphs, consider this format: make a statement, back it up with two examples, and make another statement to reinforce your point. Even though you'll be reiterating the information you've already discussed, it's important to present it in a fresh way in the conclusion. Drive your point home by bringing in a new example so that readers will see it in a new light. For example, you could point out since the park in your town is still a hub of activity after all these years, it's worth putting in time and effort to keep the buildings maintained. You could also end with a quote to back up your main points.

Summary: Make an outline. Write the introduction. Lay out the body of your report. Write the conclusion.
