In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: By learning more about your car, you can find out how it works, learn about its safety features, and learn how to troubleshoot problems. A better understanding of a car makes you feel comfortable with it. Learn about the parts of your car, and then experiment with your driving, away from other cars, to see how they work. For example, if your car has anti-lock brakes (ABS), try them out in a safe place, before you need to use them. Get up to a medium speed, and press the brake hard. You may feel the pedal pulse, or hear a pulsing noise. That's exactly what it's supposed to do. Anti-lock brakes are designed to stop your car in the shortest possible distance, by automatically pulsing the brakes to prevent you from skidding. Get used to your own car. It may be better for you to practice driving in the same vehicle until you get more confident. All cars are a little different and have their own quirks. Learn how to fill up washer fluid, replace fuses, put air in your tires, or replace windshield wipers. Getting comfortable with the parts of your car, even if they are very basic, can help you feel more confident and less anxious. Learn how to change a tire. A lot of people are afraid of what they will do in the event of a flat tire. If you can change a tire, you will not need to wait at the side of the road for help. You can feel empowered to solve your problem. Consult the highway code or book an appointment with a qualified driving instructor. Feeling knowledgeable about rules and expectations can help your confidence. Watch safe driving videos online. If you can't get to a class, try watching videos to build skills and increase your confidence level. Learn to identify and correct or avoid difficult situations, before they become emergencies. Your anxiety level may be reduced by feeling more prepared to handle problematic scenarios. Not only will you learn valuable, confidence-boosting driving skills, but you can often get a discount on your insurance premiums for completing a reputable defensive driving training course.
Summary: Read your owner's manual. Teach yourself basic car maintenance. Review the rules of the road. Take a defensive driving class.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You may have to give a speech or presentation for school or work, or you may be invited to speak on a subject you are an expert in or are passionate about. Keep the reason for your speaking engagement in mind as you prepare so that your focus remains on what you want to teach the audience or what you hope to accomplish with your speech. If you have to speak in front of a group as a school assignment, carefully review the rubric and guidelines to ensure that your speech meets all of the requirements. In order to keep the audience engaged, it's important to cater your speech to them. Whenever possible, find out the ages, backgrounds, and education levels of the audience members. Think about their beliefs and values as well as their attitude toward the topic you're speaking about so that you can tailor your speech toward these specific people to make it more effective. Talk to various audience members beforehand to get an idea of what's important to them and why they're attending your speaking engagement. For instance, giving a speech to a group of middle schoolers may require simpler language and more humor, while speaking in front of a military audience might require more decorum. Depending on the circumstances, you may need to research your topic before you begin writing. Then, create an outline that covers all the main points you want to convey. Include facts and a few statistics as well as personal anecdotes and even a joke or two if you think they would be received well. Write out your entire speech on notecards so you can rehearse it. Remember why you're speaking about this topic and make sure all parts of your speech focus on your overall goal or call to action. A really engaging opening, or hook, is key. Share a story, statistic, or fact that will grab your audience's attention and make them want to learn more. Present your main points in a logical order so the audience can follow your argument. Use transitions to guide your listeners to the next idea. End your speech with a provocative anecdote, fact, or call to action so that your audience continues to mull over what you said even after your speaking engagement is over. If your speaking engagement is a timed event, make sure your speech is within the limits. Practice your speech at a few different speaking speeds and time each delivery so you know if you need to cut anything. In most cases, shorter is better! Generally, a 5-minute speech contains around 750 words while a 20-minute speech might have between 2,500 and 3,000 words. The key to speaking in front of large groups of people is to be prepared. While you can start practicing by reading what you've written down, the goal is to memorize your speech, or at least the key points, so you don't have to rely on your notes when you speak in front of the audience. Don't always rehearse from the beginning of your speech. Try starting at various places so you memorize each point independent of one another. That way, if you get sidetracked or lose your place, you'll be familiar with picking up your speech in the middle. You can practice your speech in front of a mirror, in the car, or while you're gardening, shooting hoops, cleaning, shopping, or doing nearly anything else. This can help you memorize it better and give you ample time to rehearse.
Summary: Determine why you want or need to speak. Learn about your audience so you can tailor your speech to their interests. Keep your goal in mind as you craft your speech. Stick to the time limit, if applicable. Practice until you don't need your notes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Now that there is no reason for the engine to be started again until the project is complete, you should disconnect the negative terminal on the battery. Removing the cable from the negative terminal will prevent the engine from being started while you work. You will need to use a hand or socket wrench to loosen the nut holding the cable onto the negative terminal, but you will not need to remove the nut completely. Disconnecting the battery will ensure the engine cannot be started during the remainder of this project. Tuck the negative cable to the side of the battery to ensure it doesn't accidentally come into contact with its terminal on the battery. There are two common locations fuel filters are mounted in vehicles, so you should refer to your vehicle's service manual to help you determine which place to look. The most common location for modern vehicles is along the fuel line on the bottom of the car, just past the fuel pump. In some vehicles, the fuel filter is located in the engine bay on the line that leads to the fuel rail. Some vehicles may place the fuel filter in a different location, so refer to your service manual to find out for sure. You may need to access the fuel filter from inside the cabin of some vehicles. If the fuel filter is located on the underside of your vehicle, you will need to jack up the car to access it. Slide the jack under the car at one of its designated jack points, then either pump or twist the handle to raise the vehicle (depending on the style of jack). Once the vehicle is jacked up, place jack stands beneath it before working under the vehicle. Never rely on a jack to support the weight of a vehicle you are beneath while working. Although you relieved the pressure in the fuel line, there may be a bit of fuel left in the line that can spill out when disconnected from the fuel filter. Place a bowl or bucket beneath the fuel filter to catch any fuel that drips or pours out. Do not mix the fuel with oil or coolant to be recycled. Gasoline should be held in its own container until it can be dropped off to a recycling location. Be careful of using plastic containers to hold gas, as it may eat through some kinds of plastic and cause a leak.
Summary:
Disconnect the battery. Locate the fuel filter. Jack up the car if necessary. Place a bowl or bucket beneath the fuel filter.
