INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Turn the stove on and wait for the water to heat up. When it begins simmering, it will reach about 185F (85C). It will also start to steam and release bubbles every second. If you don't wish to juice the lemons in advance, take advantage of the time spent waiting for the water to heat up. Just be sure to keep an eye on the pot so it doesn't boil over! Get a spoon or spatula and gently swirl the water around. Watch for the sugar to disappear into the water. Once you are no longer able to see the sugar, set the pot aside. Remember to turn the stove burner off after moving the pot off of the heat. The mixture will form a lemon-flavored syrup you can use to flavor drinks or freeze to make lemonade. Add the fresh lemon juice and stir the liquid around to combine it. Make sure it is well-mixed, then taste test it once it cools. Your lemon syrup is ready! Mix in 4 cups (0.95L) of lukewarm water as well if you want to make lemonade. If you're planning on using the syrup some other time, store it in a sterilized canning jar. Put the juice into a resealable container labeled with today's date if you don't plan on using it right away. It will last about 3 days in the refrigerator before it starts losing its flavor. For an alternative storage method, freeze it for up to 4 months. This kind of juice is basically lemonade with a homemade syrup. It's better for drinking than cooking. After mixing in the additional water, you can enjoy the juice as a refreshing drink within about 30 minutes. For lemon syrup fresh off the stove, use it as soon as you need it for a recipe. It can be drizzled onto a cake, added to pan-fried fish, or mixed into smoothies and other drinks, for example. Lemon juice is often used when marinating fish or meat. The acid causes the food to absorb more flavor.

SUMMARY: Heat the pot over medium heat until the water starts to simmer. Cook and stir the water for 4 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Pour the lemon juice into the pot. Put the juice into the refrigerator or freezer until it is cold. Drink or use the juice after it has had a chance to chill.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: to prevent it from sticking to your cat's paws. Although it's impossible to stop litter sticking to your cat's paws entirely, non-clumping litter does tend to stick less than clumping litter. This is because clumping litter has granules that are designed to clump together and to stick to everything including waste, surfaces, and your cat's fur. Choose low-dust, non-clumping litter if possible. The dustiness of regular litter means that it tends to stick more easily. Dust from the litter can also be an irritant for both you and your cat. Non-clumping litter is especially important for long-haired cats. This is because it is less likely to get stuck in their long fur and irritate their skin. If clumping litter works best for you and your cat, you can still minimize the chance of the litter sticking to your cat's paws. Choose a type of litter that is labeled or described as fast-clumping, as this means that it will dry more quickly, which decreases the likelihood of your cat standing in it while it's wet. There are pros and cons to both non-clumping and clumping litter. Choose a litter that your cat will use and that you notice sticks to your cat's paws the least. Large granules are less likely to stick to your cat's paws compared to fine-grained litter. This also means that there tends to be less of a mess to clean up if the granules are tracked through your home by your cat. Crystal cat litter is ideal because it is non-clumping and it has large granules. However, it is more expensive than clay litter and some cats refuse to use crystal litter.
Summary: Use non-clumping litter Choose a quick clumping variety if you need to use clumping litter. Pick a litter with large granules.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This helps you to gain confidence and have a ready repertoire of things to say to keep the conversation going. Some of the things you could talk about include the weather, your studies/work assignments, recent achievements, places visited, movies seen, news stories of relevance or something you have in common with the person. Seek to make people laugh. Whether it's asking where your cell phone is when you're holding it or saying something wrong accidentally (or so they think), people like somebody who makes them laugh. Prepare yourself in advance by writing down and memorizing a few jokes. Or, find other fun things to share, such as stories about silly things that have happened to you. Remember that a lot of conversation is about encouraging the other person to do the talking, so be ready to listen carefully and act as a sounding board, feeding back summaries of what the other person has said to you. If you're nervous about talking to new people, ask your friends and family about what to say, and what to do if you say the wrong thing. Your friends and family won't mind you asking for tips on what to say to people.

SUMMARY:
Try writing down all the things you want to say to other people. Teach yourself to listen well. Talk to people you know and trust to gain more tips.
