In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The idea is to use the reflection to peer through the bottom of the door. Any reflective surface will do, so long as the reflective surface is clear enough to make out what is happening on the other side of the door. There are a variety of options, including music CDs or small pocket mirrors. If you use a CD, choose one that you aren't particularly concerned about. It's easy to scratch the object you are using during this procedure. Take care not to make too much noise or move too suddenly when kneeling. Any loud noises or sudden movements may make your presence noticeable to those on the other side of the door. Face the shiny portion up, making sure not to place it halfway through the door's length. If you do so, the item may become noticed. Tilt the CD and angle your view as needed to see inside the other room. While you will not be able to see everything, you will be able to see a vast majority of anything on the ground, or close to the ground and far away from the door. Make sure there is plenty of lighting on the other side of the door. It helps if your side of the door is not very bright.
Summary: Grab a small reflective surface. Kneel down next to the door you wish to see under. Place the reflective surface flat on the ground, next to the door gap. Look at the edge of the reflective surface closest to the door.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You'll need a circular saw, a number of basic L brackets, 3" decking screws, some MDF or plywood, and then several cuts of lumber. For lumber, you'll need: Two pieces of 85" 2x4 Five pieces of 67" 2x4 Eight pieces of 19 3/8 2x4 Two pieces of 75" 2x12 Four pieces of 57" 2x12 Using standard butt joints, use the decking screws to join together the 75" 2x12s and two of the 57" 2x12s into a 60"x75" box. Slide in the remaining 57" 2x12s, space the box into thirds, and then use the decking screws to screw the bracers into place. Set aside the completed base. Using standard butt joints, use the decking screws to join together the 85" 2x4s and two of the 67" 2x4s into a 70"x85" box. Slide in the remaining 67" 2x4s, space the box into 4 sections, and then use the decking screws to screw the bracers into place. You will now add the 19 3/8" 2x4s between the bracers, two to a section. Space them evenly but stagger them, so that the leftmost and second right most sections have the supports at the same level and the rightmost and second leftmost have the supports at the same level. Attach these with decking screws as well. Reinforce the inside corners of both the base and platform with L brackets. You can also add L brackets around some of the other interior joints as well for added strength. Trace and cut plywood to fit the surface of the platform. This will likely take two pieces of plywood to cover. Attach the plywood with decking screws to the inside bracers, such that the screws won't show on the exposed platform. Sand the wood and then paint or stain the bed to the desired color. Arrange the platform on top of the base in the final location. You can attach the platform to the base with a few strategically placed L brackets if you want to. Just top with your mattress of full or queen size mattress!
Summary: Gather your materials and supplies. Create the base frame. Add the base bracers. Create the platform frame. Add the platform bracers. Add the platform supports. Reinforce the corners and joints. Add the plywood surface. Paint the bed. Done!

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some teachers teach the "rule of five" or the "five paragraph format" for writing compositions. This isn't a hard and fast rule, and you don't need to hold yourself to an arbitrary number like "5," but it can be helpful in building your argument and organizing your thoughts to try to aim for at least 3 different supporting points to use to hold up your main argument. These 3 points will all be addressed as a part of your thesis statement. Some teachers like their students to come up with: Introduction, in which the topic is described, the issue or problem is summarized, and your argument is presented Main point paragraph 1, in which you make and support your first supporting argument Main point paragraph 2, in which you make and support your second supporting argument Main point paragraph 3, in which you make and support your final supporting argument Conclusion paragraph, in which you summarize your argument In a good composition, your thesis is like a tabletop--it needs to be held up with the table-legs of good points and evidence, because it can't just float there all by itself. Each point you're going to make should be held up by two kinds of evidence: logic and proof. Proof includes specific quotes from the book you're writing about, or specific facts about the topic. If you want to talk about Mercutio's temperamental character, you'll need to quote from him, set the scene, and describe him in detail. This is proof that you'll also need to unpack with logic. Logic refers to your rationale and your reasoning. Why is Mercutio like this? What are we supposed to notice about the way he talks? Explain your proof to the reader by using logic and you'll have a solid argument with strong evidence. A common complaint from student writers is that they can't think of anything else to say about a particular topic. Learn to ask yourself questions that the reader might ask to give yourself more material by answering those questions in your draft. Ask how. How is Juliet's death presented to us? How do the other characters react? How is the reader supposed to feel? Ask why. Why does Shakespeare kill her? Why not let her live? Why does she have to die? Why would the story not work without her death? " One mistake that lots of student writers make is spending too much time using the Microsoft Word thesaurus function to upgrade their vocabulary with cheap substitutes. You're not going to trick your teacher by throwing a $40 word into the first sentence if the argument is thin as the paper it's written on. Making a strong argument has much less to do with your wording and your vocabulary and more to do with the construction of your argument and with supporting your thesis with main points. Only use words and phrases that you have a good command over. Academic vocabulary might sound impressive, but if you don't fully grasp its meaning, you might muddle the effect of your paper.
Summary:
Think in fives. Back up your main points with two kinds of evidence. Think of questions that need to be answered. Don't worry about "sounding smart.
