Summarize the following:
To begin your speech for student council president, you need to begin with a strong, attention-grabbing opening. You'll likely be giving this speech during school hours, so your classmates' attention spans might be a bit strained. Do not merely start by saying, "My name is ___ and I'm running for student council." Your classmates will already know as much and this is not really a unique statement. There will be time to state the basic information after you've got the class's attention. You can open with a question. Something like, "If there was one thing you could change about this school, what would it be?" Or a question that adds some humour, like, "I know what you're thinking. Why should I listen to this person?" and then proceed to lay out your credentials. Quotes on leadership, power, and guidance would also make good openings. However, make sure to double-check your sources and especially if you're finding quotes online. Many online quote databases, like Quote Garden or Brainy Quote, sometimes attribute quotes to the wrong sources. If you're stuck, look up and read famous speeches. You can find many speeches from presidents, world leaders, civil rights activists, and others online. Pay attention to how they opened their speeches and ask yourself, "Was this interesting? Do I want to keep reading/listening? Why?" Once you've gotten your audience's attention, you should state the basics. Talk briefly about who you are and why you're running. State your name and your place or grade in school. This may feel somewhat unnecessary if you go to a small school, but it's considered a formality. If you're missing this part of the speech, you may end up looking sloppy in comparison to other students. State what you want. That is, what you're running for. Do you want to be the president, vice president, treasurer, secretary? Even if you think most students are aware of what position you're running for, make sure you state it here to remind them. Try to keep this section brief as it's not as important as your qualifications and plans to improve the school. Even one sentence would suffice. For example, "My name is Ramona Hart, I'm in the 11th grade, and I'm running for treasurer of the student council." Perhaps the most important part of your intro is listing your qualifications. Students need to know what they have to gain by voting for you. Any accomplishments relevant to the position warrant mentioning here. If you're running for secretary, for example, talk about your summer job filing papers in your uncle's law firm. If you're running for student council president, talk about your leadership experience being captain of the swim team. While this section is important, try to keep it minimal. A couple of sentences laying out your qualifications is enough as the body of your speech is where you should spend the most time. For example, let's go back to the above example. From there, we could say, "I am currently enrolled in advanced placement algebra and I have been an honor roll student for three years. This knowledge of numbers and diligence qualifies me to have responsibility for finances for our student council."

summary: Find an attention-grabbing opening statement. State the basics. List your qualifications.

Psoriasis medications can often help prevent flare-ups if taken as your doctor recommends. This is especially true for medications that work through your immune system, such as biologics. It is also important not to stop taking medication without consulting your doctor first. Stopping a medication for psoriasis without working with your doctor can cause one type of psoriasis to become a more severe type. Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disorder characterized by itchy, scaly skin rash. The cause of psoriasis is often unknown, but there are known triggers that can aggravate the condition and cause an outbreak, including stress. Take steps to reduce stress in your life. Try relaxation techniques, such as yoga and meditation. Exercise regularly. Exercise helps release endorphins and can alleviate stress. Damage of the skin (vaccination, bites, scrapes and sunburn) can trigger the formation of new psoriasis lesions. This is called the Koebner phenomenon. Use protective clothing and care for all scrapes and injuries immediately using hygienic techniques. Prevent sunburns by using sunscreens, protective clothing (hats and long loose clothing), or shades. Also, limit the amount of time you spend in the direct sun. Some medications are known triggers of psoriasis outbreak, including anti-malarial drugs, lithium, inderal, indomethacin and quinidine. If you suspect that your medication might be triggering psoriasis, ask your doctor for an alternative medication. Do not stop taking a prescription medication suddenly without asking your doctor first. Anything that can affect your immune system may trigger psoriasis flare ups, such as strep throat (Streptococcal pharyngitis), thrush (Candida albicans) and respiratory infections. Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect an infection. One clinical study found that regular beer (but not light beer, wine or other types of alcohol) may be associated with an increased risk of psoriasis outbreak. The risk was 2.3 times higher for women who consumed five or more beers per week compared with women who did not drink beer. Smoking makes psoriasis worse. It's bad for your health in general, too. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about options to help you stop smoking. Women who are smokers are at particular risk of making psoriasis worse. Cold and dry weather removes natural moisture from the surface of the skin and might trigger a psoriasis outbreak. Stay warm and consider getting a humidifier to your home.

summary: Take all medications as prescribed. Avoid stress. Avoid injury to skin. Avoid medications that trigger psoriasis. Avoid and treat infections. Do not drink full-calorie beer. Stop smoking. Avoid cold and dry weather.

Clean teeth and fresh breath may make your mouth seem more attractive, so make sure that you include dental hygiene in your kissable lip routine. Take a few minutes to brush, floss, and use mouth wash. If you can't brush your teeth, then chew on a piece of gum or have a mint. Another way to draw attention to your lips is to touch them with your fingers or with something edible. This can be a seductive, playful or subtle way to get someone to kiss you. For example, you can run the tip of a finger over your lips, as if you are thinking about something. Or, hold an ice cube or a piece of fruit, such as a grape or a strawberry, against your lips for a few seconds before you put it into your mouth. To send a stronger signal, try making eye contact with the person you want to kiss as you touch your lips. Another way that you can bring attention to your lips is to hold them in a way that your potential kissing partner might find sexy. For example, you can try pursing your lips, parting your lips slightly, licking your lips, or gently biting one of your lips. Try out a few different things to draw attention to your lips. Physical closeness can also make your lips appear more kissable. It will also be easier for your potential kissing partner to kiss you if you are within arm's reach. Try standing somewhat close to the person you want to kiss. To make it even more clear that you want to be kissed, try looking at your partner's lips instead of making eye contact. This should help him or her to understand that you want to be kissed.
summary: Make sure that your breath is fresh. Touch your lips. Hold your lips in a seductive way. Move closer.
