In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Memorizing the introduction, key points, and conclusion word-for-word is wise. However, unless your teacher requires it, don't feel like you have to memorize the entire speech verbatim. Reciting a completely memorized speech can feel stiff, so just commit the content to memory well enough that you can explain your ideas clearly and consistently. While it's generally okay to use slightly different phrasing, try to stick to your complete outline as best you can. If you veer off too much or insert too many additional words, you could end up exceeding your time limit. Keep in mind your speaking outline will help you stay focused. As for quotes and statistics, feel free to write them on your notecards for quick reference. Use hand gestures to emphasize key words and ideas, and make natural eye contact to engage the audience. Be sure to switch your gaze every 5 or 10 seconds instead of staring blankly in a single direction. Instead of slouching, stand up tall with your shoulders back. In addition to projecting confidence, good posture will help you breathe deeply to support your voice. Once you've committed the speech to memory, work on making your delivery as engaging as possible. Watch yourself in a mirror or record yourself to make sure you appear confident and natural. Get a second opinion and ask a friend or relative to watch you and offer feedback. Have them point out any spots that dragged or seemed disorganized. Ask if your tone was engaging, if you used body language effectively, and if your volume, pitch, and pacing need any tweaks. Use a stopwatch or cell phone app to time yourself when you practice your speech. Speak clearly and avoid rushing, but work on keeping your speech under the time limit, if your instructor set one. If you keep exceeding the time limit, review your complete sentence outline. Cut any fluff and simplify complicated phrases. If your speech isn't long enough, look for areas that could use more detail or consider adding another section to the body. Just make sure any content you add is relevant. For instance, if your speech on nationalism and World War I is 2 minutes too short, you could add a section about how nationalism manifested in specific countries, including Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Serbia.
Summary: Write the main points and helpful cues on notecards. Project confidence with eye contact, gestures, and good posture. Practice the speech in a mirror or to a friend. Make sure you stay within the time limit.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are pluses and minuses involved with both options, and you should weigh each matter carefully before making a final decision. Basic photo editing software is often sufficient if you only plan on creating simple collages, but it may not provide the right sort of tools needed to create more complex designs. If you use photo editing software you already have, you save on expense. Some special photo collage software is free, but the highest quality options do cost money and can be fairly expensive. Creating a photo collage with basic photo editing software can be labor intensive and time consuming. Special photo collage software often comes with templates and tools that make collage creation easier. Every program you might consider using has different tools, so you will need to look up a specific guide for your software in order to learn how to use it effectively. Begin by searching through the software help files or the software's instruction manual. If you find nothing within the help files, search the Internet. Tutorials can come in all-text form, pictorial form, or as video tutorials. Browse through a variety until you find one that seems helpful. Many programs allow you to undo your changes if you decide later that you do not like them, but just in case, it helps to save your collage each time you feel satisfied with your progress. That way, you can return to an earlier version if you later decide that you do not like the most recent changes you made to your collage. Saving frequently also helps to prevent you from losing your work. The quality of a digital collage can be dramatically affected by the quality of the paper you print it on. Standard printer paper is light and has a poor effect. You should at least consider using cardstock or photo paper. On the same note, you should also use a high-quality printer to ensure vivid coloring and depth.
Summary: Choose between your current photo-editing software and photo collage software. Read tutorials for your software. Save multiple versions of your collage at different stages. Print the final collage on high-quality paper.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can crush them by pulsing them in a blender, or by placing them into a sandwich bag and smacking them with a rolling pin. Keep crushing the cookies until you get a coarse crumble, sort of like coarse sand or coffee grounds. You can use a fresh or frozen banana, but a frozen banana will give you a colder, thicker milkshake. You can also add some ice cubes, preferably make from frozen almond, cashew, or soy milk. The milk-based cubes will help thicken your milkshake without sacrificing flavor. You may have to pause the blender and scrape any unblended ingredients down the sides with a rubber spatula. Since you have already crushed the Oreo cookies beforehand, you just need to mix them in. You want to still see some specks of Oreo cookie. If this is too much for you, pour it into two smaller glasses and share it with a friend. If you don't feel like sharing, you can store the milkshake in the fridge for later. If the milkshake is not thick enough for you, put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
Summary:
Crush the cookies into a fine crumble and set them aside. Put the milk, banana, and vanilla extract into a blender and blend until smooth. Add the crushed cookies into the blender, and pulse a few times until just combined. Pour the milkshake into a tall glass.
