In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A conversation isn't about speaking at someone, it's speaking with someone. You'll learn more about the person's perspectives and experiences by asking questions. If the person tells you something, follow-up with a question that encourages them to keep speaking. Keep your questions open-ended so that the person can elaborate as they want to. A meaningful conversation is difficult to develop from "yes" and "no" questions. For example, ask, "What was it like when you got married?" or, "What was your proudest moment?" If you start out with a question, ask another one to get more information and help the person open up. For example, if you ask a general question, follow it up with a more specific question. Your questions should engage the person and help to create depth in the conversation. For example, if someone is talking about a memory, ask, "How did that impact your life?" or, "What did you gain from that experience?" A simple, easy way to relate to someone is to find common interests, hobbies, experiences, and backgrounds with the person you're talking to. You may have grown up near each other, attended the same university, or watch the same television shows. Ask them about their background, and, if yours is similar, compare the two! For example, if your friend is upset about a job loss and you've been through a similar experience, you can relate on this and how difficult it is. Relating over difficult situations can often bring meaning and comfort to someone. Sometimes, being relatable means showing that you understand and are listening, even if you haven't 'been there.' For example, you could try saying something like, "I certainly have no aptitude for physics, but I'm fascinated by people who understand it." A meaningful conversation is difficult to build and maintain if those involved are unwilling to be vulnerable. Being vulnerable means letting a person know you are not always right, strong, or perfect. Share your imperfections in a way that does not invite pity, but that shows the other person that you understand hardship. Other ways to be vulnerable might include connecting with another person about a shared experience or memory. Be willing to open up, especially if you feel alone in something. If someone is being vulnerable with you, be sure not to judge them or criticise them for their experience. Try saying something like, "You showed great strength to overcome that obstacle." For example, if someone is struggling with depression, speak up and say, "I know how that feels. I struggle with depression, too." This can help you connect and not feel alone. A meaningful conversation doesn't necessarily have to be a long or in-depth conversation. Show that you care by extending your support or help to someone. Small gestures can mean a lot, so celebrate the person's milestones and show that you're there for them when they hit a low point. For example, share your excitement at a birth announcement or job promotion. Send your condolences when the person is grieving. Offer your support and help in a way that is meaningful to them, whether that be a text message, email, or in-person conversation.
Summary: Ask open-ended questions. Follow up with deeper questions. Find common interests and experiences. Be willing to be vulnerable. Show that you care.

Problem: Article: First write out the pH equation. Next, identify the values you have by writing them directly below your equation. For example, if you know the pH is a value of 10.1, write it on the paper below the pH equation. Rearranging the equation will require a strong understanding of algebra. To calculate concentration from pH, you must understand that the inverse of log10 is "10 to the power of ..." Start by shifting the minus sign over from the log side to the pH side. Then raise 10 to the power of (each side). "10 to the power of" and log10 are inverses of each other and cancels out. For example, pH = -log10[H3O+] will mold into [H3O+] = 10-pH. pH can then be filled in as 10.1 When working with inverse log, the calculator process is unique. Remember that log is a type of multiplication by 10. To enter your equation, key in 10. Next, hit the "EXP" exponent button. Key in the negative sign followed by the value. Hit solve. For example, take a pH value of 10.1. Key in "10" followed by "EXP." Now key in "-/+" to have our value be negative. Finally, key in the pH of "10.1". Hit solve. You should get about 7.943-11, or 7.943*10-11. This means our concentration is 7.943*10-11 M. A neutral pH of 7 equates to a hydronium ion concentration of 10-7 M. A solution with a pH of 10.1 is basic, so it will have less hydronium ions than that. If we look at our answer, 7.943*10-11, we do indeed see that this number is way smaller than 10-7, so our answer does make sense.
Summary:
Identify the known unknowns. Rearrange the equation. Solve the equation. Think about your answer.
