In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When purchasing men's jeans, look for inseam measurements on the back label. They will typically be listed with waist size first and inseam second, so a pair of pants marked 34x32 will have a 34in (86cm) waist and a 32in (81cm) inseam. Women's jeans rarely list the inseam, so you may have to consult a store attendant, make a conversion using the brand's sizing chart, or measure the seam yourself. Websites like Search By Inseam allow you to find the inseam measurements for popular pant brands. Though compact shoes and sneakers won't make a significant difference, high heels and similar shoes may. In general, add between .5 and 1 inch (1.3 and 2.5cm) to your inseam measurement to accommodate raised shoes. If possible, measure your inseam while wearing the raised shoes to get a more precise number. Over time, jeans made from cotton, linen, and wool may shrink, something that will affect the inseam. If purchasing a name brand pair, search online for information on how much you should expect the pants to shrink. If necessary, purchase pants with an inseam that is about .5 inches (1.3cm) too large, giving the legs room to shrink.
Summary: Look for jeans that match your measurements. Add extra length if you plan on wearing the jeans with raised shoes. Check the jeans' material to see if it will shrink.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are many different types of trends: fashion trends, slang trends, new dances or social media trends. Some are easier than others to pull off, and all take a great deal of effort to popularize. You'll want it to have a couple of qualities: mainly originality and simplicity. Creative, simple and accessible trends catch on because many people notice the trend and are able to participate. Make sure your idea is original. While many trends build on current styles and ideas, good trends represent something unique. You'll need to come up with an idea that is not only unusual, but makes people wish they had thought about it before. The trend needs to be something that truly interests you too, and not just something new for the sake of being new. Make sure it's original and authentic to who you are as a person. Keep your trend simple. The more complicated a trend is and the more steps people have to follow, the less they will be interested. Trends like slap bracelets, the Macarena and reaction videos are simple, easy to make, learn or buy, and none of them take a lot of work for normal people to participate in. Try to angle for the same simplicity with your trend. You'll want to make sure that your trend is relatable and interesting to those around you. It will only catch on if other people find it interesting, so make sure it makes sense for the setting you spend your time in, whether it's school, an office, or an internet forum.
Summary: Think about the type of trend you want to start. Think about the qualities of your trend. Tailor the trend to your environment.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's important to choose the right words depending on your audience. For example, you should use formal language when sending an email to your boss or drafting a cover letter for a job application. Save your informal language, such as beginning an email with "Hey," for close friends and family. Choosing the right words also means explaining them to audiences who may be unfamiliar with particular words or phrases. For example, if you are writing about a new technology, you may need to explain the technical terms that appear in your paper or email as your audience may not have encountered them in the past. In other cases, though, your audience may be familiar with the technical terms so you would not need to explain them. One of the most common mistakes in written communication is misusing a particular word. Oftentimes you may think a word means one thing, but it in fact means something entirely different. For example, you might write that Native Americans are not a monotonous culture, when in fact you mean that Native Americans are not a homogenous culture. Ask yourself, "Am I sure I know the definition of this word?" Use a dictionary to look up the definitions are words whose meaning you are not quite sure about. Sometimes you will write a sentence without realizing that your choice of words is delivering an unwanted meaning. For example, you might write, "I looked inside the boy's private place," when in fact you meant, "I looked around the boy's hiding place." A cliche is a phrase that has been overused to the extent that it has lost its original effect or meaning. These trite and often stereotypes expressions should be avoided if you're aiming to improve your written communication skills. Instead of writing, "in this day and age," try writing, "today" or "presently." Instead of writing, "dead as a door nail," just write, "dead." It's important to understand that different types of written communication have different requirements. An email, for example, has different requirements than a corporate report. A letter to an insurance company, similarly, will be written differently than a set of guidelines for employees. Use a professional tone when writing business letters and formal emails. You can use informal language when crafting a a letter or an email to a friend.
Summary:
Take your audience into account. Explain unfamiliar concepts, terms, and data when necessary. Know the definition of the word you are using. Beware of undesirable connotations. Stay away from cliches. Choose the right words and structures for each specific form of writing.
