In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Tell your spouse ahead of time that you want to talk. Make sure this is a time when neither of you has anything to do. Meet in a quiet space where you will not be interrupted by children, television, or phone calls. You might say something like, "I think we need to talk. Can we take an hour tonight to discuss something important?" If there are safety concerns, have this conversation in a public place or consider doing it over email. Starting the conversation with "I want a divorce" may shock and upset your spouse, leading to an unproductive conversation. Instead, begin by explaining why you are unhappy or dissatisfied with the marriage. Tell your spouse upfront that you want to talk about your marriage. You might say, "We need to talk about the state of our marriage." Express your emotions honestly without blaming or insulting your spouse. For example, instead of saying, "I'm so sick of you disrespecting me," say something like, "I haven't been happy for a long time" or "I'm starting to feel resentful about our marriage." This conversation should build on previous ones you've had about your relationship rather than being the first time talking about it. Be tactful but direct. Tell your spouse your decision is certain in concise terms. Avoid any room open for uncertainty, especially if you are positive that you want the divorce. You might say, "I don't think our marriage is working out. I think it is best if we get a divorce." If you're unsure about the decision to divorce, consider asking for a trial separation instead. You might say, "I think that I need some time and space to think about our marriage. I don't want to get divorced, but I think we should separate for now." Certainly, your spouse will have many opinions on this subject, so listen actively to what they have to say. Don't interrupt or try to defend yourself. Simply let them talk. Be prepared for a wide range of reactions. Perhaps your spouse has been anticipating this or maybe they've been taken by surprise. No matter what happens, try to remain calm. Repeat back what your spouse says to indicate that you're listening to them. For example, you might say, "I understand that you're frustrated with how things have been for a while." When they've finished talking, repeat your desire to get a divorce. For example, you might say, "I know that this is a big decision, but I'm certain it is the right one." Although you might be desperate to find out what the next few weeks will look like, put off an immediate discussion about the future or any legal arrangements. This conversation is tense and emotionalit's unlikely you'll come to an agreement on anything right now. Try not to make any promises to your spouse about property, assets, or custody at this time. You might say, "I think we should hold off on talking about that for now." Take some time to process your emotions before coming back together to discuss what will happen next.
Summary: Choose a time and place where you can meet privately. Express your feelings or dissatisfaction with the marriage. State that you would like a divorce. Listen to what your spouse has to say. Delay talking about logistics.

A simple declarative sentence conveys information directly. Figure out the essence of what you want to communicate. How will you state this information in a simple way? When writing a simple declarative sentence, use one idea and eliminate excess phrases and words. A declarative sentence is made up of two basic elements: the noun, or subject, and the verb, or predicate. Convey information directly and simply by choosing the most basic information. Some examples include: "Jane eats." "The cat meows." "The car moves." The active voice is a style that directly conveys information. It uses descriptive verbs that gives the reader substantial information in few words. In contrast, the passive voice relies on words like "is" or "was" in a way that conveys information less directly. You can still use the passive voice for a declarative sentence. But the whole point of a declarative sentence is to be direct and to the point, so the active voice is preferred. One way to recognize different types of sentences is to examine the punctuation at the end of the sentence. A declarative sentence uses a period at the end of the sentence. In contrast, an interrogative sentence typically uses a question mark at the end of the sentence. An exclamatory sentence uses an exclamation mark.

Q: In the first year of having your new puppy, expose them to unfamiliar dogs, people, and environments. Introduce them to people of varying ages, i.e., adults and children, and to both men and women in non-threatening environments. To expose your puppy to new environments and other dogs, take them to the park, for walks, and/or place them in a puppy kindergarten class. Keep in mind that the first 18 weeks of your puppy's life is the best time to socialize them. This is the period when they will be most open to new experiences. Take advantage of this window to raise a confident, well-adjusted adult dog. Show your puppy where their bed, toys, and food and water bowls are. Establish a routine for when it's time to eat, play, use the restroom, go to bed, and wake up. This will provide the much-needed structure and security to your puppy's life. For example, wake your puppy up at an established time in the morning, let them outside to use the restroom, and give your puppy their morning meal. Make sure your puppy eats and goes potty before bedtime, and have their bedtime at a certain time, as well. Begin teaching your puppy commands like "No" and "Good boy." Once your puppy begins to understand these commands, begin to teach them more complex commands like sit, stay, and come. You can either teach them the more advanced commands yourself, or sign your puppy up for an obedience class. Find an obedience class at your local pet store, or ask your veterinarian for recommendations.
A: Expose your Basset to varying situations. Establish a daily routine. Teach your puppy basic commands.

Problem: Article: Kanye lives in Hidden Hills, CA, and most likely spends a lot of time in Los Angeles as well. If you live in LA or are able to travel there, visit any places that he mentions on social media or is photographed at often. While there's no guarantee that you'll get a chance to meet him in person, you may at least get a brief chance to interact with him after the concert. If possible, find out beforehand where and when Kanye will be entering and exiting the building and try to get close to those areas. You can also look for contests and promotions that offer backstage access as his concerts. In 2014, a concert package was auctioned off that gave the buyer a guaranteed opportunity to meet Kanye West. Keep an eye out on Kanye's website and social media for special deals like this. Going to a public event such as a book signing or fashion show can often provide more opportunities to interact with Kanye personally. Show up early and find out where and when Kanye is expected to arrive, either by researching online or asking around at the event. You may be able to talk to a roadie or staffer who can give you information about where he will be and allow you to get closer to him. One of the most realistic ways to try meeting a celebrity is to meet someone less famous who has a connection to them. This is easier if you live somewhere like New York or LA, but even if you don't, you may be able to find a connection through a few degrees of separation. Research the people he works with or is frequently seen with and figure out if you have or can create connections to them. Roadies, press staff, and less famous collaborators can all be good connections. When possible, identify and strike up conversations with these people at public events or interact with them through social media. Consider applying for an internship with a public relations firm or music agency that works with Kanye to connect with people who may know him.
Summary:
Visit Kanye's favorite spots frequently. Go to one of Kanye's concerts. Attend an event that Kanye is scheduled to appear at. Try to meet people who may have connections to him.
