Revise any weak, unemphatic sentences by replacing be verbs or passive verbs with active alternatives and, if necessary, by naming in the person or thing doing the action. Some sentences are emphatic; do not change them.

These instructions were written for you to follow.   When you don't even try, you appear to others as if you are just too lazy or too stupid to do your own work.  You don't want people thinking that about you, do you?  So try them yourself, and we'll check your work.
