Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don't suddenly ask if she likes you. Befriend her Get to know her friends. Gently start flirting with her. Break the touch barrier slowly. Avoid pestering, bothering, or boring her.

Answer: You have to have some momentum when you ask her out, so work on developing that first. It's like racing: You have to rev your engine a little bit to warm it up before you take off. It's the same with girls: Look at the signals, build a comfortable relationship with her, and then ask her out. Be observant. Don't make eyes at a girl if you know she is taken, or if you have another girlfriend. Remember, if you ask a friend if she's single, that friend will immediately go up to your crush and start rumors. You don't want to cause any unnecessary drama. Keep it to yourself for now. Look at her body language. See if she looks at you during class or talks to you more than usual. These signs mean she might already like you. If so, good for you! If one hand is fidgeting with her hair or she looks down at her feet bashfully, that's a good sign. Here are some other signs she might like you: She giggles or laughs at things you say, even if they aren't exactly funny. She keeps constant eye contact with you when you're talking to each other. She tickles or touches you when she talks to you. She asks you to do her favors, like hold her backpack in between classes or hold her place in line. . Think of her as a friend that you like; it will be easier to talk to her, and less awkward. Plus, you will get a chance to get to know her. Girls need to be able to trust guys, and winning her friendship will help you get that trust from her. Be there for her when she needs it and don't expect anything back in return. Spend time with her. Ask her to help you with a problem. If you sit next to her, it will be easier to get her attention. Ask her for help, making eye contact all the way. Perhaps compliment her, but only after she helps you. For example, if she helps with a math problem, say, "Wow, you're really quick!" or "Thanks, you're really good at this!" Help her out when she needs help. If she asks you to do something, that's usually a pretty good sign that she's interested in you. Keep the attention on her face. Girls hate it when boys "go perverted" on them (paying too much attention to her body; a quick scan of her clothing is fine). Look into her eyes when she is talking. Don't stare at her or look at her in a suspicious way. Treat her respectfully and like you would a friend. Do things as a group. At first, try to involve her in group activities so that you really get to know one another. Do something with your boys and invite her and her other friends along. Go to the movies together, or the beach, or to a baseball game. Be careful with this one. Don't get all super nice with them, as she might get the idea you like them more than her, also don't tell her that you know someone else likes you, this could really upset her. But make an effort to get along with her friends and introduce her to your friends. This will go a long way in driving you two closer together. Again the issue here is trust. If her friends like you, she's going to take more chances on you because she trusts her friends. If her friends know nothing about you, she's less likely to take a chance on you because she has no secondary evidence on you. Get to know other girls. If you can't crack her group of friends and feel like they'll just end up disliking you for whatever reason, try to get friendly with other girls. Don't flirt or act suggestively around them. Just befriend them. This will show her that other girls, at least, get along with you. A little goes a long way here. Don't come on super strong, but be a little more deliberate about your gestures around her. Only start flirting with her once you've established some sort of friendship. If you haven't done this yet, flirting can be really difficult. Try to get her to laugh or even smile. Most girls like boys with a sense of humor not goofy slapstick, or fake laughing. It's always good if you can make her laugh. And don't be afraid to laugh along, or even laugh at yourself. A good sense of humor is key! Compliment her on her hair, clothing, or smile. Again, don't make it obvious that you like her. Girls usually like being complimented. If she has already flirted with you, then you should compliment her back with something like, "Wow, you have really pretty eyes," "You really have beautiful hair," or "Did you get a haircut?" Keep the compliments PG. Don't compliment her feminine features, like her breasts or her butt. It's best to stay classy and respectful. Stick to complimenting her hair, clothing, eyes, or smile. Never ever think about sex when first meeting and talking to a girl. It will make you look weird. Find out what makes her feel special. If a girl stresses about her looks, compliment her appearance. If she draws a lot, make her feel like a good painter. Customize what you say to her based on how she sees herself. If you reinforce the way she wants to be seen, you're making the right moves. If you two are talking, it's okay to reach out and touch her in a safe place to emphasize a point you're making. It's okay to lightly touch her hand, or her shoulder, or her back. If she likes you, this will send a thrill down her spine. "Accidentally" touch or brush against her shoulder, on the arm or hand (not body) when you're both looking at a project or something similar (or even when passing by in the hallway) and look at her with a smile. If she likes you, then when you make eye contact, she will smile and look away. You're trying to make an impression on her, but it's sometimes tough to get close to her while being respectful of her space. Don't overwhelm or smother her with your attention. You may think you're getting somewhere with her, but if she associates you with someone who is pesky and bothersome, that's definitely not a good thing. Don't ask the same question twice. "Your favorite color is green, right?" will not go down smoothly. Girls aren't dumb; they have memory. Try to stay away from short conversations with short answers. For example, don't ask "Do you like ____?", but "Why" and "How" questions - they are always good for a longer conversation. Start with a conversation you think she will be interested in. Don't interrupt when she's talking. Maintain a little bit of mystery. Girls like a bit of mystery in a guy; they're obsessed with the strong/silent type if he's good looking. If he's not, he's probably going to have to use humor or intelligence to really get to her. Regardless, don't be an open book. Don't tell her everything you're doing. Don't be available all the time. Humans are drawn to things we don't fully understand.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for the author. Look for page numbers. Cite ebook PDFs Cite journal article PDFs in MLA bibliographic format. Note whether the journal article is from an online-only journal.

Answer:
To provide a complete MLA citation, you must provide the author of the file and the page number of your reference (when possible). If the author is mentioned in the statement, just put the page number in the parentheses: According to Spiers, college has become too expensive (48). Otherwise, use a parenthetical with both the name and the page number at the end of the sentence or quotation: Some argue that college has become too expensive (Spiers 48). If there are two authors, put both last names in parentheses with "and" in the middle followed by the page number: Dogs have evolved alongside humans (Draper and Simpson 68). If there are more than two authors, use commas to separate the authors' last names followed by the page number: Embroidery should be considered a "fine art form" (Kozinsky, King, and Chappell 56). If no author is listed, use the institution's name: Dinosaurs became extinct millions of years ago (Smithsonian 21). If no institution is credited, just start the citation with the title of the piece: According to experts, energy drinks should not be over consumed ("Impact of caffeine consumption" 102). MLA in-line citations should not indicate whether or not your source is in a PDF file. In all of these scenarios, the parenthetical citation goes before the final punctuation of the sentence. Some ebooks and PDF files have fixed page numbers, where the page numbers don't change depending on your display. If your document has fixed page numbers, use them.. If there are no page numbers, do not try to give them. You can cite by chapter or section instead. For example, to cite a PDF without page numbers that is divided into sections, you can cite it by section: According to Blankenship, caffeine intake should be limited to 200mg per day (ch. 2). If the PDF or ebook is not divided into any identifiable sections, cite the file as a whole and do not give page numbers: Blankenship's study on caffeine consumption, "Too Jittery, Joe?" suggests that caffeine intake should be limited to 200mg per day. in MLA bibliographic format. According to MLA guidelines, you should indicate the type of electronic file you have accessed for ebooks, such as "PDF file" or "Kindle file." The basic format is: Author's last name, Author's first name. ''Book Title''. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Ebook publisher, Year of Ebook publication. File type. For example: Smith, John. The Fantastic Novel. London: Great Publishing House, 2010. Google Books, 2011. PDF file. 1 December 2012. If your ebook is not a PDF file, cite the file type you have. For example: Smith, John. The Fantastic Novel. London: Great Publishing House, 2010. Kindle file. In your works cited page, cite journal articles you access from an online database by giving the publication information just as you would for articles in print. This is followed by the name of the online database where you found the article and the medium (Web), as well as the date you accessed the file. The basic format is: Author's last name, Author's first name. "Article title." Journal Title Volume number.Issue number (Date of publication): page numbers. Database name. Medium. Date of access. For example: Doe, Jane. "Interesting Citation Article." Journal of Citation Information 4.7 (2006): 82-5. Academic Access Premier. Web. 20 November 2012. Some academic journals are now available only online and do not provide PDFs with pagination. If your PDF is from an online-only journal and does not have page numbers, follow the basic model for your works cited page but add the words "n. pag." in place of page numbers. For example: Doe, Jane. "Interesting Citation Article." Online Journal of Citation Information 4.7 (2006): n.pag. Web. 20 November 2012.
