Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Add mineral or baby oil to peroxide if you have sensitive skin. See your doctor if you have signs of an ear infection. Keep your ear clean and dry if you have a perforated eardrum.

Answer: Hydrogen peroxide may be too harsh for you if you have sensitive skin. Peroxide can be very drying, which can be irritating if you're prone to breakouts or skin reactions. If peroxide is drying your ear canals, try adding a few drops of mineral or baby oil to the peroxide. If that doesn't help, use an alternate method to clean your ears. You can try warm water alone or a saline solution, instead. Make a saline solution by dissolving teaspoon of salt in a cup of boiled water. If you have an ear infection, don't try to clean your ears with peroxide. See your doctor to get diagnosed and treated you might need antibiotics, depending on what's causing your infection. You may have an ear infection if you have ear pain (especially when you lie down), diminished hearing, and fluid draining from your ear. You may also have a feeling of fullness or pressure in your ear, or a fever. Look for signs of a possible ear infection in children, such as crying and pulling at their ear, trouble sleeping, difficulty hearing and responding to sounds, fever of 100F (38C) or higher, loss of balance, not eating, or complaining of a headache. If your eardrum perforates, or ruptures, don't put anything liquid in your ear. Suspect that your eardrum has ruptured if you have increasing pain or pressure in your ear, followed by quick relief from pain, drainage from your ear, and loss of hearing. See your doctor right away ruptured eardrums usually heal by themselves, but they might need to be repaired surgically. In the meantime, keep your ear clean and dry. You should not use peroxide if you have ear tubes, or tympanostomy tubes. Some people get small hollow tubes surgically implanted in their eardrum as a child if they have frequent ear infections. Don't use peroxide if you've ever had ear surgery.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Appeal to emotions. Appeal to logic. Flatter them. Make them think it was their idea. Cause someone to worry.

Answer: Some people are very emotionally prone. They experience strong emotions and then tend to think with how things make them feel. These are the kind of people that share lots of returning-soldier-reunited-with-dog videos on your Facebook wall. For these kinds of people, when you talk to them use language and arguments that play to their emotions in order to convince them. In the study of argumentation, this is called appealing to "pathos." For example, make them feel sorry for you. If you're trying to convince your mom to let you go to summer camp, say something like, "I just don't want to stay home all summer while my friends are away. I get so sad when there's no one around." People whose emotions are easily swayed tend to be vulnerable. Think carefully about the effect you'll have if you succeed. Are you comfortable causing regret or panic to get what you want, or will that spoil your victory? There are other people (and sometimes these two groups overlap), that like arguments that hold up to logic. They want evidence and good reasons to line up before they'll be convinced. These are usually the people that post news stories refuting the latest Supreme Court decision with evidence of its negative effects. When talking to people like this, use logic in order to appeal to them. In the study of argumentation, this is called appealing to the "logos." For example, convince a boss to give you a sabbatical by listing the job-related skills you'll learn, and showing studies that breaks make employees more productive. With just about anyone, use language that makes them feel capable, confident, smart, knowledgeable, important, and kind. Using subtle, flattering language will make them like you more but it will also distract them. If they're too busy thinking about how good they feel to get a compliment that they really like and weren't expecting, then they won't think about how your argument doesn't make 100% sense to them. For example, say something like "You know, I'd like to be the speaker for our presentation but I feel like I would just say everything wrong. Probably freeze up too. You're just so much better at talking to people and making a convincing argument than I am. You'd probably have the whole group eating out of your hand." Women have been saying for centuries that the best way to get a man to do something is to make him think it was his idea. However, this is basically true of anyone. If they think that not only is the idea probably good but that it was also their idea, then they'll be much less resistant to doing that thing. For example, say something like "My poor friend Dale is such a good guy. It's a shame he never seems to catch a break. He's got so much going for him too: he works so hard and he's really smart. He's even charming, really charming, once you get to know him." if you want to try and get them to realize that they should hire/date/whatever Dale. They'll hear this fantastic description and think, "You know, he doesn't sound half bad. Maybe I should..." This shouldn't be your first stop, but planting concern in someone's mind can be a very effective technique. Use language that plays to their worries, or that suggests the decision is time-sensitive. For example, say something like, "You know, I heard they're not going to be making these any more. If you want one, it's probably better to buy it now, before you have to spend three times as much on eBay in order to get one." This kind of language and persuasion should be your last resort, because you usually only get to do this once. People quickly figure out that you're just fear-mongering in order to get what you want, and then they won't trust anything you say. This kind of reputation can spread as well, so be careful.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Connect the USB flash drive to your computer. Click Go. Click Utilities. Double-click Disk Utility. Click your flash drive's name. Click the Erase tab. Click the "Format" box. Click a format option. Click Erase, then click Erase when prompted.

Answer: To do so, plug it into one of your Mac's USB ports, which resemble thin, rectangular slots on your computer's housing. Some Macs don't have USB ports, so you'll need to purchase an adapter. It's a menu item in the top-left side of the menu bar. If you don't see Go, first click the Finder icon, which resembles a blue face in your Mac's dock. This option is in the Go drop-down menu. You'll likely find this option in the middle of the Utilities page. It's on the far-left side of the Disk Utility window. This option is at the top of the Disk Utility window. It's in the middle of the page. This will bring up a drop-down menu with the following options: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled, Encrypted) MS-DOS (FAT) ExFAT You'll generally use one of the Mac OS options for a Mac-only flash drive (e.g., a backup drive), though you'd choose MS-DOS (FAT) or ExFat for greater compatibility. This will begin the formatting process. Once the formatting is complete, you'll see an icon for your flash drive appear on your Mac's desktop.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start with the basic parts of speech. Introduce other parts of speech gradually. Master the most advanced parts of speech last. Underline parts of speech. Ask questions. Make a chart. Diagram sentences.

Answer:
Before you can explain to others what the parts of speech are, it is good to brush up on them yourself. Knowing the parts of speech can help clarify grammar lessons, increase understanding from students, and improve your own writing. It is best to start with the four basic parts of speech. These are the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Noun: a person, place, thing, or idea. A noun can be common (a general object) or proper (the name of a person or place). For example, dog and goodness are common nouns while Rhode Island and Joe are proper nouns. Verb: a word that shows action or state of being. For example, run, jump, sit, learn are actions that a subject can do. Adjective: a word that describes a noun or a pronoun. For example, pretty, large, beautiful, and loud are all adjectives. Adverb: a word that describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Adverbs usually end in -ly, but not always. For example, quickly and carefully are adverbs that modify verbs while very is an adverb that modifies adjectives and other adverbs. As your lessons develop, you can start introducing the more complex parts of the speech. Pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions are a good intermediate step, as they have a clear function in the sentence and they interact with the basic parts of speech. Pronoun: a word that takes the place of a noun. The most common type are person pronouns. Personal pronouns include: I, me, you, we, he, she, it, and they. There are many different kinds of pronouns besides the personal. They include indefinite, interrogative, reflexive, intensive, relative, and others. Preposition: a word that describes the position of an object. For example, in, on, under, over, beside are all prepositions. A preposition begins a prepositional phrase. Conjunctions: words that join words, phrases, or clauses. The most common are the coordinating conjunctions (and, or, but, nor, for, yet, and therefore) and subordinating conjunctions, which are those words that join dependent clauses to main clauses in complex sentences (since, when, where, if, although, etc.). Interjections and determiners can be difficult to teach and to learn because their function in the sentence is often ambiguous. Without a strong basis in the other parts of speech, learners might struggle with identifying these parts, and you might find it difficult to explain them. Save your lessons on these parts for last. Interjections: words that are used to express an emotion like surprise or shock or disappointment. They are words that are thrust into the midst of the sentence (hence, interjected). Determiners: the first words in noun phrases that act in a way that limits or quantifies the noun. Articles such as "a/an" and "the" as well as words like many, some, or two are what "determines" if the noun is specific or general. With eight differently colored pens or markers, underline, circle, or box every part of speech. Tell your students which color marker corresponds to which part of speech. For the rest of the lesson, whenever you underline that part of speech, use the same color. Once you are finished teaching the lesson, give your students a short passage to read. Ask them to underline each part of speech using the same corresponding colors as you did. For nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, you can encourage students to ask certain questions to help them understand what the different parts of speech are. These questions will encourage them to think about how each part functions in the sentence as well as give them an easy tool for identifying the parts of speech. Nouns answer the questions "who?" and "what?" Adjectives answer the questions "what kind?"; "which?"; and "how many?" Verbs answer the question "what is it doing?" Adverbs answer the questions "how?"; "when?"; "where?"; and "why?" For the more difficult parts of speechsuch as pronouns, conjunctions, interjections, and conjunctionsit may be easier to make a chart of the most common examples of these parts of speech. Explain these parts of speech, pointing to these examples on the chart. After the student has learned them, try asking them to make their own chart from memory. Diagramming sentences is a traditional method of explaining the parts of speech. In a sentence diagram, the parts are visualized on a series of connecting lines to show how the parts of speech relate to one another. On a horizontal line, write the noun subject and verb of the sentence. Divide these with a vertical line. Using diagonal lines, connect adjectives and determiners to the noun that they modify and adverbs to the verb or adjective that they modify. Use dotted lines to link conjunctions with the words that they connect.
