Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn to fidget. Be active during the day. Try a girdle. Accept your body shape.

Answer: While your mother may have always told you not to fidget, fidgeting can actually be beneficial to your health. While it's not considered exercise, it does help you burn off the calories you've consumed during the day. Even if you have a desk job, you can take steps to be more active throughout the day. For instance, you can park farther away at the store or take the stairs instead of the elevator. You can also go on a walk at lunch. Another option is to ask your boss if you can convert to a standing desk, which helps you move around more instead of just sitting all day. If your goal is to make your stomach look flatter, you can use clothing like a girdle to help flatten it out. However, girdles do nothing to flatten your stomach in the long term. You can also try wearing looser-fitting tops, especially ones that fit looser around your belly. Use your pants. That is, if you wear pants with a high waist, they can give your stomach extra support, helping to flatten it. Pick darker colors, as well as simpler patterns. Anything too outrageous can draw attention to your stomach instead of hiding it. Try small polka dots or vertical stripes. Not everyone can have a perfectly flat stomach. Genetics play a part in the shape of your body. Learn to love the body you have by learning to appreciate the things it does for you, such as keeping you alive, getting you to work, and letting you enjoy the sunshine.

Answer: If you are looking to "move up" that is, sell your current home and buy a new house, you may need to wait for your current home to sell so you can afford the down payment on your new home and avoid paying two mortgages. If you sell your house first, you may feel pressured to find and buy your new house quickly, but it may also give you the money you need to put a down payment your dream home. You may have to make an offer on your new house but negotiate for the purchase to be contingent on the sale of your old house. Contingent offers are more risky and less desirable for the seller, since the sale can't be completed until the buyer's house is sold. You may want to put your current house on the market first. The amount of money you will make selling your home depends on a variety of factors, including how much you still owe on the home, any fees you will need to pay a realtor, property taxes, etc. If you won't know how much your house will sell for, investigate recent sales in your area of similar homes and use that as a starting point. Let's say you think your house will sell for $250,000. Subtract the amount you still owe on your mortgage from this number. So if you still owe $75,000, $250,000 - $75,000 = $175,000. From that number, subtract any additional fees, such as your real estate agent's commission (this may be a percentage of the sale price or a flat fee), closing fees, transfer tax, and whatever property taxes you owe (you pay these up to the day you sell the house). Assume your realtor gets 6% of the sale price ($15,000), there's a total of $750 in closing fees, and you owe $500 in property taxes. Add these numbers together ($15,000 + $750 + $500 = $16,250) and subtract that from $175,000 to find how much you will make from selling your house. $175,000 - $16,250 = $158,750. You will have $158,750 to put toward a down payment on a new house Search online for "Home Sale Proceeds Calculator" to easily plug in these numbers and find your profit.

Leave out vinegar-soaked corncobs to keep rabbits from coming in your garden. Eliminate slugs with a squirt of vinegar.

Answer: If your pet likes to loiter around your plants, try spritzing the edges of your garden with white vinegar. Cover any surfaces near where your pet likes to prowl, as the smell will drive them away. Try and spray vinegar on a daily basis, or however often your pet goes through your garden. Citrus spray and lemon peels can also work for this. Vinegar is also a great hazing option for scaring away coyotes. Consider filling a water gun with white vinegar and using it to spray any coyotes that wander through your yard. Keep an eye out for any trails of ants entering your garden. Once you've figured out their main entry points, use a spray bottle to spritz vinegar over these areas. Continue inspecting and spraying these areas on a daily basis to keep the ants away! If vinegar doesn't seem to deter the ants, you might have to use a different method. Vinegar is also a natural deterrent for spiders and other bugs. Fill an empty beer bottle or tin about halfway with apple cider vinegar. Try several of these containers to different tree branches, and see if the fruit flies begin to go away! You might need to hang up more than 1, depending on the size of the plant. These traps are especially effective with fruit trees and fruit-bearing plants. Take several old corncobs and place them in a bowl filled with at least 1 cup (240mL) of white vinegar. Make sure that the corncobs are completely submerged, so they reek with the scent and taste of vinegar. Place these corncobs in spots where the rabbits tend to frequent to give these rodents a sour surprise! If you don't have enough vinegar to completely submerge your corncobs, spin them around in the bowl so all surfaces are coated with vinegar. Use as many corncobs as you need. If you have a small garden, you might only need 1-3 corncobs, while a larger garden might require more. Get rid of slugs on sight by spraying them with a mixture of water and vinegar. Combine 1 cup (240mL) of white vinegar with 0.5 cups (120mL) in a spray bottle, and spritz the slugs with the solution. Once you've squirted the pests, dispose of them in waste bin. If you suspect that there are slugs in your garden, look for a telltale trail of slime.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep track of all your homework in a planner. Do your homework right after school every day. Plan ahead for bigger assignments. Ask for help if you ever feel stuck on your homework.

Answer:
Keep the planner in your school bag. Then, whenever you get homework, write it down right away in your planner so you don't forget about it. Keeping track of what homework you have and when it's due will help you stay organized and prevent you from missing important assignments that can impact your grades. Everyone forgets about assignments sometimes. It happens! Having a planner is a good backup in case you do forget. If you do end up missing homework for some reason, talk to your teacher about it. Tell them you know you messed up, and ask if you can turn it in late. You might not get full credit, but they still might give you some points, which is better than not turning anything in at all. It might be the last thing you want to do after a long day at school, but that way you won't forget about it or procrastinate too long. Plus, if you have any questions or get confused by something, you'll have more time to ask for help and figure out a solution. If you do your homework right after school, you'll have the whole rest of the evening to just relax. On the other hand, if you keep putting it off until later at night, it will just be weighing on your mind all evening. If you have a major project, paper, or other assignment that's coming up, schedule plenty of time to work on it so you don't end up scrambling to finish at the last minute. You can even start earlier than you need to and just get it over with so it's one less thing on your plate. Write the due date for the assignment in your planner, and then write reminders on the days in between now and then so you don't forget about it. For example, if you have a research paper due in 6 weeks, don't wait until the last week before it's due to get started. Instead, start brainstorming and researching right away. The more time you give yourself, the less stressed you'll feel and the better work you'll produce. Turning in incomplete or wrong homework can negatively affect your grade, and it can put you behind for the following day's class. Instead of risking it, ask your parents or a friend in your class for some advice if you feel stuck. You can also meet with your teacher before class if you have time and let them know that you're struggling. That way, you'll clear up any confusion, get a better grade on your assignment, and be more prepared for the classroom discussion and future test.
