In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When storing firewood, it's important to keep convenience in mind. Firewood can be heavy to carry from outside into your home, and this can be especially stressful during the colder months. Seek out an appropriate space away from the home to avoid infestations from termites and carpenter ants, but nearby enough for convenience. Keep in mind, if there aren't any appropriate spaces very close to your home, you can invest in a wheelbarrow to make transferring the firewood easier. When firewood is stored directly on the ground, it will rot quicker. Bacteria and bugs can get into the firewood, causing it to go bad. Look for a place off of soil. Surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and clean gravel can be good surfaces for firewood. If you can't find any appropriate surfaces, you can use sticks to elevate firewood off of the ground. You can also lay down a tarp underneath firewood. If you have an outdoor storage shed, this a great place to store firewood. Inside a shed, firewood will be protected from things like rain. The shed will also provide a barrier between firewood and the soil. If possible, store firewood in an outdoor shed. Be careful of termites and carpenter ants taking up a home in wooden sheds as they can cause significant structural damage. You can also store firewood in your garage. Bugs, including termites and carpenter ants, can hitch a ride on the wood and cause significant property damage to wooden structures. You can store firewood in an old trunk, if you have one. Some fireplaces have compartments built into the wall next to them where you can store firewood. Make sure firewood you store indoors is fully dry. If you chopped or collected your own firewood, you should store it outside until it dries. It takes firewood around six months to fully dry out.
Summary: Seek out a location close to your home. Find a location off of soil. See if there's room in an outdoor non-wooden storage shed. It is never recommended to store firewood inside homes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Write down what you need to get done and in what order you are going to do it. Sticking to this schedule will give you a greater feeling of control over your homework. List items starting with the most difficult. If you have one large assignment with multiple parts, break those down in their own list. Understanding what you're supposed to do to get credit for the assignment is important. It can also save you time because you won't have to re-read the text or re-do the assignment. If the instructions are confusing, read them more than once. You could also email your instructor or a classmate to make sure you understand what you're expected to do. Try to answer the questions that go along with your assignment as you read. Make sure that you do exactly what your instructor wants you to do. Start with the chapter summaries or introduction, which will give you a good idea of what material is going to pop up and prepare you for what to look for as you read. Then begin reading the main body of the text. Stop after each paragraph or section to check in with yourself to make sure you understood. Refer back to the essential questions or questions you need to answer as you read. Some people learn better if they hear the text spoken aloud because they process information better this way. Reading aloud can also help you focus if you are the type of reader who feels like you always have to go back and reread sections or someone who finds their mind drifting in the middle of paragraphs. Rephrase passages or the steps to solving a problem in your own words to help your understand and memorize key concepts. Imagine you are explaining it someone else. Have a pen or highlighter handy to note points that seem important. Make sure you are asking questions of the text rather than just trying to breeze through the reading. Consider the writer's intent, organization, voice etc. For example Rudiments of Geological Mapping becomes What are the Rudiments of Geological Mapping? Now as you read you can be looking for the answers to this question. This will ensure that you receive full credit. Check your work against the instructions to make sure you did everything correctly. Then proofread your work to check for errors.
Summary:
Make a list. Start with the assignment instructions and questions. Read the text you're assigned. Read passages out loud if you're an auditory learner. Write out an explanation. Take notes in the margins. Be an active reader. Change chapter titles and headings into questions. Review your work to make sure you satisfied the requirements.
