Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get ready Start your day at homeroom or assembly. Track down your locker and work it into your schedule. Tag along with someone if they're going to the same class. Ask for directions if you get lost. Remember that your teachers are there to help you. Try not to let the heavier workload overwhelm you.

Answer: and walk, drive, or take the bus to school. Wake up early enough so you can do your morning routine and have breakfast without having to rush. If a parent is driving you, have them drop you off where you'll start your day, such as homeroom or assembly. If you're taking the bus, there's often an orientation where you can meet your driver and find out your stops. See if you have a friend taking the same bus and make a plan to sit together. If you don't know anyone on the bus, try sparking a conversation with someone new. Chances are, you'll start your day by reporting to homeroom or an assembly in the auditorium or gymnasium. Homeroom or assembly is where attendance is taken, announcements are made, and other early morning rituals happen. You'll find out where your typical day starts at freshman orientation. If your school has lockers, you probably got your locker number and lock combination during orientation. Try to find spots in your schedule where you can head to your locker to swap books. For example, suppose you have back to back classes far away from your locker, then a third class down the hall from it. Bring all of your materials for the first classes, then stop by your locker on the way to the third. If your locker doesn't have a built-in combination lock, remember to bring a lock with you on the first day of school. You could ask someone sitting next to you what their next class is. If it's the same as yours, walk to class together, and have a conversation on the way. You could ask them questions like where they went to middle school and what activities they want to join. If you're not sure where your next class is, they might know where they're going. Even if you both get lost, at least you can laugh about it with each other! No one is going to judge you for being new, so ask for help if you need it. If you have no clue where to go and your head is spinning, just take a deep breath and try to relax. Look around for someone who looks like they know where they're going, and ask for directions to your next class. Don't be afraid to ask teachers and upperclassmen for help. Everyone has had a first day at a new school, even seniors and teachers who've been at the school for years. High school teachers might seem strict and intimidating, especially in comparison to middle school teachers. Sometimes, teachers will set the tone by acting stricter than they actually are. In any case, your teachers are there to help you learn, so try not to be afraid of them. If you do your homework, pay attention in class, and put an effort into your schoolwork, you'll have no problem with your teachers. After your first day, you might look at your assignment book and feel overwhelmed. High school is more challenging than middle school, but you'll adapt. In time, you'll learn how to manage your time effectively and work to your full potential. Don't freak out if you do run into trouble. Getting used to a high school workload can take time, and there are ways to get help. You can ask your teacher or a parent for help, talk to a guidance counselor, or see if your school has a peer tutoring program.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Invert the helper verb to ask a question. Place object pronouns between the subject and the helper verb. Form negatives around the helper verb. Keep etre and the reflexive pronoun together with negatives.

Answer: You may already know that you invert the subject and the verb to ask a question in French. When asking a question using passe compose, you only invert the helper verb. Hyphenate the helper verb and the subject. The past participle immediately follows the subject. For example: "As-tu mange?" (Did you eat?). In French, an object pronoun typically comes immediately before the verb of which it is an object. When you have a combined verb like passe compose, it comes before the conjugated helper verb. For example: "Je l'ai rencontre a Paris." (I met him in Paris.) Use the same placement rule for reflexive pronouns. For example: "Je me suis amuse." (I had fun.) If you want to use passe compose to say that something didn't happen in the past, be careful not to include the past participle in your negative. Only place "ne pas" around the conjugated verb here, the helper verb avoir. For example: "Nous n'avons pas fini le travail." (We didn't finish the work.) If you want to write a negative sentence in passe compose for a verb that uses etre, you place the nepas around the reflexive pronoun and the helper verb etre. The ne precedes the reflexive pronoun and the pas follows after the conjugated form of etre. For example: "je ne me suis pas amuse" (I did not have fun.)

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Explore accents. Add a rug next to your bed. Buy a plush, new comforter or duvet cover in warm colors. Place a reading chair with a matching ottoman or stool in the corner of your room. Purchase an inexpensive bean bag in a soft material. Place heavyweight throws on the end of your bed or the back of a chair. Use a variety of throw pillows throughout your room. Get some mirrors.

Answer:
Sometimes just adding a few inexpensive accents to a room can make it more comfortable and inviting. Even if you don't have a lot of money, trying just one or two of the suggestions below can make your room cozier. This is especially cozy if you have hardwood floors. Shag or deep pile rugs look cozy and will feel great on your feet! You can make your rug even cozier by layering rugs. Put down your larger rug first, then layer a smaller, plusher rug on top. As your bed takes up a large portion of your room, this simple change and addition of color will alter the feeling of your room considerably. If you don't have a lot of extra money to spend redecorating your room, spend what you have on new bedding! If you have a floor lamp, place that next to the reading chair to create a cosy reading nook in your bedroom. You can use it to sit in to watch TV, read or as a luxurious footrest after a long day. You can choose from luxury cable knit throws that look like overly large sweaters or simple and inexpensive fleece throws. Handmade items like quilts and knitted blankets will also add a sense of homey comfort to your bedroom. It ties together elements in your color scheme. Using pillows with various textures, shapes and sizes will add a bit of interest and keep your room from looking overly coordinated. Mirrors reflect the light from the window so it will make your room feel more bright and spacious. However, only put mirrors where they are practical, such as above your dresser or beside your closet. Don't put them where they'll reflect a TV or cause a glare.
