In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Homework may seem like a drag, but it helps you review what you've learned that day and prepare for upcoming quizzes and tests. Try to start doing it at school so you can ask the teacher just in case you need help. If your homework involves hand-written answers, write as legibly as possible using your teacher's preferred tool (black/blue ink pen or pencil). Don't rush it and check over your work when you're finished. Turning in your work before or by the due date is essential for getting good grades. Make a note of due dates on your study schedule so you won't forget. You can even use colored sticky notes to remind yourself which assignments need to get done first. Sometimes teachers will deduct points for late assignments, and some won't accept late work at all! Look at your syllabus to find out the penalty for late work. Set realistic goals to finish certain tasks by specific deadlines. Giving yourself an incentive to finish your homework will help motivate you and keep you on task. For instance, tell yourself: "If I finish this packet now I can go play the guitar for 20 minutes before dinner." Make sure your goals are reasonable and achievable. For instance, a reasonable goal would be: "I will read the first 20 pages of the text before taking a break and finishing the last 20 pages." An example of an unrealistic goal is: "I'm going to finish the entire book tonight before I can do anything else. Ask someone else to check your homework for clarity and readability. Cheating isn't okay, so make sure to choose a friend who won't copy off of your work! And make sure your parent or sibling doesn't try to redo the work for you. Instead, ask them for specific ways that you can improve. Some things you might ask them to look for are: Grammatical errors Legible handwriting Relevance (i.e., you've addressed the questions/topic/prompt) Depth of understanding (i.e., your work displays that you understand the concepts at hand)
Summary: Do your homework as soon as possible. Turn in your assignments on time. Set homework goals and reward yourself for completing them. Ask a friend or family member to check your work.

The average person makes three trips to a buffet, but if you sit further away, you are less likely to get up and go back for more servings. If you are dining at a buffet-style restaurant, ask the hostess if you can be seated far away from the buffet table. While at a wedding reception or an event that has open-seating, choose a table that is on the opposite side of the room from the buffet stations. If sitting far away from the buffet is not an option, try to seat yourself facing the opposite direction. If you cannot see the carving table or the dessert section of a buffet, you may be less enticed by the array of foods available. Keeping your back to the food can be an effective way to prevent you from getting up for another serving and to curb your cravings. Before you grab a plate and hop in the buffet line, take a few minutes to scan the entire buffet to review your options. Knowing what is available ahead of time will help stifle the urge to fill your plate with samples and small bites of every dish that looks appealing. As you look over the buffet, notice where everything is located. Look for the servings of vegetables and fruits first, and then concentrate on adding a lean animal-based or plant-based protein. Next, think about what whole grains are available, like steamed brown rice, quinoa, or whole wheat pasta.

One-sentence summary -- Find a table far away from the buffet. Keep your back toward the buffet. Look over the entire buffet before filling your plate.

Problem: Article: Cut an avocado in half using a sharp knife and carefully remove the pit. In a clean bowl, mash 1/2 of the avocado with a fork until no chunks remain. You can also spoon the avocado into a blender or food processor and blend for a few seconds until smooth. Make sure that you use a ripe avocado so that you can easily break down any chunks and mash or blend until smooth. If your hair is very thick and/or long, you might need to use the whole avocado. If you only use half though, you can store the avocado half for future use. For added nutrients, add 1 egg, 1 tablespoon (15mL) of plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon (15mL) of olive oil, or a few drops of your favorite essential oil, such as peppermint or lavender.You can mix all of these at once, or just add one or a few of these add-ins depending on your hair type and desired effect. Use a fork to stir, or add to your blender or food processor until your add-in is completely mixed with the mashed avocado. Olive oil is highly conditioning and can help prevent breakage and promote hair growth. Yogurt helps strengthen your hair and can make it extra shiny. Eggs contain vitamins A and E, as well as biotin, which help promote healthy growth. Essential oils add nutrients and can help mask any unpleasant smells. Avocado alone is rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, so feel free to skip this step if you just want to use a simple avocado conditioner. If you are using the whole avocado instead of just half, double the add-ins. For example, for a whole avocado worth of paste, you will need 2 tablespoons (30mL) of plain yogurt. Using your hands, scoop up a dollop of the avocado paste and massage it into a section of your hair for about 1 minute. Repeat this process until all of your hair is covered and you have used all of the paste. If you have really thick and/or long hair, you may need to make a bit more of the paste at this point to cover all of your hair. It might be a good idea to wear clothes that you don't mind staining, or you can wrap a towel around your shoulders to protect your clothing. This will give your hair ample time to absorb the nutrients from the avocado paste. You can leave your hair uncovered, or you can protect your clothes and surroundings by putting on a shower cap, or by lightly wrapping your hair in a towel. After you have let the avocado paste sit in your hair for 15 minutes, wash it out thoroughly with water. Once the mixture is rinsed out of your hair, dry and style your hair as usual. Your hair should feel extra soft and smooth. Avocado paste alone should not make your hair greasy or weighed down, so you shouldn't need to use shampoo to get it all out. If you use olive oil or an egg as add-ins, however, you may need to use your regular shampoo to get all of the treatment out. For best results, condition your hair with an avocado paste once every 2 weeks. This will keep your hair moisturized and shiny without weighing it down. Feel free to experiment with different add-ins every 2 weeks until you find what works best for your hair.
Summary:
Mash 1/2 of a ripe avocado. Mix in essential oils, a raw egg, olive oil, and/or yogurt. Massage the avocado paste into clean, damp hair. Leave the avocado paste in your hair for 15 minutes. Rinse out with water. Repeat once every 2 weeks.
