Article: When first meeting or greeting someone, offer them up a warm smile. Smiling indicates that you are in good spirits and are happy to see them. It helps to establish friendliness from the get-go as the smile is the first impression that people usually make when meeting someone. In some cultures, such as Russia, smiling is not necessary. Instead of just walking by someone you know or ignoring someone you are supposed to be meeting, greet them with a warm 'hello.' You do not need to wait for them to say it to you first; it's okay to be the initiator. For example, "Hello, Mr. Sanderson. It's great to meet you! My name is Emma Payne and I work in cybersecurity." firmly and assertively. When meeting someone, take their hand into your right hand and grasp it firmly, shaking it up and down once. Respect the other person by not squeezing their hand too hard in an attempt to "dominate" them. If you know them well, you might hug instead. There are many different ways people around the world greet each other, and these greetings may not always involve handshaking. Be sure you're aware what's appropriate in the country you're living in. You can go online to find out if you're unsure. When in conversation with someone, look them in the eyes a little over half the time you're speaking. Maintaining eye contact shows that you are paying attention. Staring at them, however, can be perceived as creepy and rude. Break eye contact every so often to avoid staring. Eye contact is usually seen as a sign of respect in Western culture. In some Eastern cultures, it can be seen as a sign of aggression. Don't make eye contact if the other person considers it rude. People with certain conditions such as autism and social anxiety may find eye contact unnerving or distracting. If eye contact is hard for you, you can fake it by looking at someone's nose or chin. (They usually can't tell the difference.) If your conversation partner avoids eye contact, keep in mind that they may be shy or they may have a disability, and let it go.

Article: During pregnancy, women do not menstruate. While you may experience some light spotting, you will not have your period during the course of pregnancy. If your period has suddenly stopped, pregnancy may be the cause. Many home pregnancy tests are accurate on the first day of a missed period. For most tests, you immerse a small stick in urine and wait several minutes for results. A plus sign, changed colors, or the word "pregnant" indicate pregnancy depending on the test. Home pregnancy tests are generally very accurate. Most are about 99% accurate, but some tests are not as good as detecting pregnancy as they claim. It might be a good idea to take two different tests to assure accuracy. It's important to see a doctor as soon as possible to confirm your pregnancy with a blood test. Usually, after pregnancy menstruation returns. However, if you're breastfeeding you may not return to regular periods immediately. Breastfeeding regularly can delay the return of your periods for the first months after pregnancy. If menstruation is delayed longer, however, you should talk to your doctor to rule out other causes. Your period may take awhile to return to normal after a pregnancy. This does not mean menstruation has stopped longterm. Usually, once you cease breastfeeding you'll begin spotting lightly. Your menstrual cycle should return to normal within the first few months after you start spotting. You may have unusually large blood clots during your first periods after pregnancy. This is usually not a concern, but if you have heavy bleeding and blood clots for a week or more consult a doctor. Remember, even if you don't physically notice signs of menstruation you may still be fertile even shortly after pregnancy. Make sure to use contraception if you want to prevent another pregnancy, even if you're not visibly menstruating.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Take a pregnancy test. Consider the effects of breastfeeding. Understand menstruation may be irregular after pregnancy.
Article: People will be more likely to read something short and simple as opposed to a long, wordy paragraph. Cut out any unnecessary information from the text. For example, instead of writing "Fun outdoor concert featuring three musicians, an open bar with wine and beer, and great outdoor games," you could write "Live music. Free drinks. Games." People will be more likely to pay attention to the flyer if it's immediately obvious what kind of event it's advertising. Make sure the name of the event, the date it's happening on, where it's located, and any other important information is displayed somewhere on the flyer where people will see it. Get the right kind of people to stop and read the flyer by using the kind of language they're attracted to. Think about your target audience's interests and needs and incorporate them into the text. For example, if you're advertising an event for kids, you'd want to use words that are fun and simple and not overly complex. Instead of writing "Starting at noon we will be hosting multiple games and handing out prizes," you'd want to write "Join your friends at noon for fun games and awesome prizes!" The headline is the first thing most people will notice, so try to grab their attention with something different. Keep it short and simple and try to tap into the emotions of your target audience through the text. For example, instead of writing "Come to a night of wine tasting," as the headline, you could write "Free wine!"

Make the flyer text concise and to the point. Place important event information in a spot that's easy to notice. Tailor the text to your target audience. Write an eye-catching headline.
