Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask the speaker what they'd like you to say. Find out what subject the speaker will cover. Look up biographical information on the speaker. Avoid using sensitive or embarrassing information without approval. Find other speeches the speaker has given. Include a surprising detail if it fits in your intro. Master pronouncing the speaker's name. Check for any special titles the speaker has.

Answer: Many times, the speaker will have an introduction prepared for you. Even if they don't, they can provide information you can use. When the guest speaker isn't available, talk to people who know them, such as mutual acquaintances or their coworkers. When the speaker provides an introduction for you, use it. Read it over a few times and be prepared to say it with energy and enthusiasm. Ask around to find out the focus of the speech. The speaker or the event organizers may be able to tell you. This way, you'll be able to hone your speech so it introduces the speaker's topic. Your introduction needs to relay exactly what the audience can expect to hear. For example, you find out the speech will be about encouraging young girls to learn computer programming. You shouldn't spend time explaining how the speaker can teach these skills to adults. Search online for the speaker's credentials. News articles, interviews, and websites associated with the speaker offer this information. Type their name into a search engine and pick out the details that relate to the speech. Often, you'll find unique facts that fit into your introduction. For instance, a professor's biography on their school website might inform you that, "Jane Doe used her scientific research to identify ten new species of birds." Try to find information relevant to the topic they will be speaking about. News articles and interviews will also have useful basic facts, such as "Jane Doe spent the last summer building schools in Africa." Remember that your introduction is meant to promote the speaker. Issues like legal troubles, health issues, or family issues are complicated. They take up time and create a negative image. It's not appropriate to bring up public criticisms or arguments others have made about the speaker. It's also not a good idea to talk about their family. Always get the speaker's permission before using these details. Make sure you can explain why it's important to your introduction. When you find a speech, pay close attention to the introduction. Search it for any details on the speaker you can use. Read the speech aloud and figure out what parts are well-written. Adapt these parts to improve your own introduction. Don't use your guest's speech to write your introduction. They may be giving a different speech this time, so you'll create false expectations in the audience. Be careful if you're using pieces from another speech since it is copyrighted material and can't be used without the speaker's permission. You may come across a detail that defines the speaker's character but isn't well known. The detail may also be something shared between you and the speaker. A good surprise detail does not detract from the focus of the speech. Many times, it can be used to get the audience to laugh or appreciate the speaker's humanity. For example, you met the speaker when working in a dog adoption center. Introduce this connection when beginning the speech. Finish by stating, "I know Jane Doe will inspire you to work better with your female students - and your dog." Make sure you find out the proper pronunciation. You may be able to find it online. If you can't, contact the speaker, anyone they know, or the event planner. Improper pronunciation makes your introduction seem unprofessional. It is embarrassing and harms the credibility of both yourself and the speaker. Addressing the speaker by their proper title is professional and gives the speaker more credibility. Refer to a doctor as Dr. Jane Doe. Refer to a judge as Judge Jane Doe. The speaker may have titles you don't recognize, such as Sir or Dame for someone knighted by the British monarch. Again, the speaker can tell you how you should address them. This information may also be found online or gotten from other people.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lower the lower unit (for boats with outboard and inboard-outboard engines). Turn on the bilge blower to remove any gasoline fumes that may have accumulated in the bilge. Ensure that no person is near the engine when starting and that no person or boat is in your path before you put the boat in reverse. Pay attention to currents, wind and waves that can easily pull your boat off course and into a collision course with another boat or dock. Crank the engine. Secure the boat to the dock. Slowly pull the vehicle out. When pulling away from the dock, it is important to understand that unlike a car, the stern of the boat is pushed to one side or the other, whereas a car's pivot point is in the front.

Answer: Make sure the engine is in the water, and turn it over. Once it's running, undo the winch hook from the bow eye, and back the boat out of the trailer. For smaller boats, you can just push the boat out while holding a mooring line. Tie the mooring lines to cleats on the dock. Use fenders to prevent the hull from being scratched. Boat ramps can be slippery with moss and algae and it is important to not let the vehicle's tires spin. If your tow vehicle is equipped with four-wheel drive, this can be useful if your back tires start spinning. Once the boat is afloat and secured to the dock, drive the vehicle back up the ramp and park it at the landing, in the designated parking area. Do not turn the boats steering wheel in the opposite direction of the dock, with the boat a mere few inches from the dock, and just hit the throttle - or your engine's outdrive will push your boat right into the dock, scratching or gouging the gelcoat in the side of the hull. Make sure that you have pushed away several feet from the boat dock before driving away, so that your stern has ample room to turn the boat without scraping the boat alongside of the dock.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Research programs that help you specialize further. Consider taking on educational material planning, administrative work or other duties to increase your pay grade. Join a program to get a teaching certificate.

Answer:
Most states offer conferences or certificate programs that allow you to learn about working with children who are deaf, blind, autistic, intellectually or developmentally disabled, or who have mobility disabilities. Complete a program during the summer term or breaks from paraprofessional jobs. In the US, special education paraprofessionals make between $17,000 and $39,000 per year. The more experience and duties you are able to cover, the higher your pay will be. Some states, such as Texas, provide paraprofessionals with over 45 community college credits to enroll in online special education training to increase their qualifications.
