INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're installing wall-to-wall carpeting, clear the area of all furniture, plus the floor covering to be replaced (if you have any). Then cover the subfloor from wall to wall with carpet padding. Staple the padding to the subfloor to secure it in place. These are generally an inch (2.5 cm) wide, but may be as long as four feet (1.2 m), so saw or cut them to length as needed. Place each strip end-to-end on the floor, leaving about a half-inch (1.25 cm) of space between the strips and the wall. Nail them into place through the padding until you've lined all of the room's edges. For heavier carpets, you may wish to add a second row of tack strips. If you do, place these on the first row's farthest side from the wall. Always leave a half-inch gap in between the wall and the nearest strip. You'll need to keep this space clear in order to worm the carpet's edges underneath the baseboards. Unroll it over the carpet padding. If the carpet is one solid color, simply line up its corners with the room's. If it's patterned, double-check its orientation to make sure it's lined up the way you want it. For instance: Say you're using the same carpeting in this room and the hallway outside. For a more seamless look, orient it the same way in both areas. So if the pattern incorporates, say, pine trees, arrange the carpet so the treetops all point in the same direction. Choose a wall to start working along. Once you do, start in the middle of that wall. Set the head of a knee kicker on the carpet, roughly four to five inches (10 to 13 cm) from the baseboard, at a 90 degree angle to the wall. Then: Hold the kicker firmly in place by its handle with your dominant hand. Kneel on your opposite leg's knee and support yourself with your other hand. Drive your dominant side's knee into the base of the knee kicker to drive the carpet toward the wall. Repeat until the edge of the carpet slightly overlaps the baseboard. Press the carpet in that area into the tack strip below to secure it into place. Once you've secured the middle of your first edge to the floor, move a couple feet to either side. Set the knee kicker's head on the carpet, about four to five inches from the wall. This time, however, set it so it's at a 45 degree angle with the wall, with the base pointing toward the center of the room. Except for that one difference, drive and secure the rug into place in the same fashion as before. Depending on the length of your wall, repeat every couple of feet until you reach the corner. Then switch to the other side from where you started and continue until you reach the other corner. Setting the kicker at a 45 degree angle to the wall as you work toward the corners will help stretch out any creases toward the center of the carpet. Start with the opposite wall to keep the carpeting aligned with the others as you work. Secure its edge along that wall as you did with the first. Then do the same with the other walls. Check your carpeting for creases as you go along. If the knee kicker isn't doing the job of stretching them out on its own: Detach the carpet from the tack strips so you can do it over with the extra aid of a lever-activated stretcher. If you have to do the job over, repeat the knee-kicker steps along one wall. Only this time, don't press the carpet down into the tack strip once you finish with that. Instead, use a lever-activated stretcher to pull the carpet even tauter toward the wall before securing it in place. The principle of a lever stretcher is the same. The only difference is in its operation. With these, you pump a lever up and down instead of using your knee. These are also a good alternative if you have a very large project or prior knee injuries. The repeated force of impact when using a knee kicker extensively can lead to physical trauma.

SUMMARY: Lay out your carpet's padding first. Install tack strips. Lay out your carpet. Start "kicking" one edge into the place. Work toward that wall's corners. Repeat with each wall. Use a lever-activated stretcher if needed.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you begin writing your paragraph, you must have a clear idea of what the paragraph is going to be about. This is because a paragraph is essentially a collection of sentences that all relate to one central topic. Without a definite idea of what the main topic is, your paragraph will lack focus and unity. In order to pin down the exact topic of your paragraph, you should ask yourself a number of questions: What is the prompt I have been given? If you are writing a paragraph as a response or answer to a particular prompt, such as "You have decided to donate money to charity. Which charity do you choose and why?" or "Describe your favorite day of the week," you will need to think carefully about that prompt and make sure you are directly addressing it, rather than going off topic. What are the main ideas or issues that I need to address? Think about the topic you are being asked or have decided to write about and consider what the most relevant ideas or issues relating to that topic are. As paragraphs are usually relatively short, it is important that you try to hit on all of the main ideas, without going off topic. Who am I writing for? Think about who the intended readership of this paragraph or paper is going to be. What is their prior knowledge? Are they familiar with the topic at hand, or will it require a number of explanatory sentences? If your paragraphs are part of a larger essay, writing an essay outline can help you define the major ideas or goals of each paragraph. Once you have a clearer idea of what you want to address in your paragraph, you can start organizing your thoughts by writing down your ideas on a notepad or word document. There's no need to write out full sentences just yet, just jot down some key words and phrases. Once you see everything on paper, you may get a clearer idea of which points are essential to include in your paragraph, and which points are superfluous. At this point, you may realize that there's a gap in your knowledge and that it will be necessary to look up some facts and figures to support your argument. It's a good idea to do this research now, so you will have all the relevant information easily at hand when it comes to the writing stage. Now that all of your thoughts, ideas, facts and figures are laid out clearly in front of you, you can start to think about how you want to structure your paragraph. Consider each of the points you wish to address and try to arrange them in a logical order - this will make your paragraph more coherent and easier to read. This new order may be chronological, may put the most important information first, or may just make the paragraph easier and more interesting to read - it all depends on the topic and style of the paragraph you wish to write. Once you have decided where you want everything to go, you can rewrite your points according to this new structure - this will help to make the writing process a lot faster and more straightforward.

SUMMARY:
Decide what the main topic of the paragraph is going to be. Write down information and ideas relating to that topic. Figure out how you want to structure your paragraph.
