Problem: Article: You can time your ovulation in many ways. The most accurate method is to use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK). If you have a regular menstrual cycle, you can also predict the date range of ovulation by counting back 12-16 days from the date your last period started, though the prediction might not be entirely accurate.  Keeping track of ovulation can also increase your likelihood of conceiving at all (regardless of sex) because women are usually the most fertile in the few days prior to ovulation.  Other signs of ovulation include abdominal pain, changes in vaginal fluids, and changes in basal body temperature.  Consider tracking your cycle carefully on a calendar in order to understand how your body responds to ovulation. Female sperm carry more genetic material, making them heavier and slower than male sperm. Having sex at least two days before ovulation gives the slower female sperm more time to move up the uterine canal before the egg arrives. This is known as the "Shettles Method." There is an alternate theory known as the "Whelan Method" that suggests that sex should take place 2-3 days prior to ovulation to conceive a girl and 4-6 days before ovulation to conceive a boy.
Summary: Track your ovulation cycle. Have sex 2-4 days before ovulation to conceive a girl.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Spray your cleaner of choice liberally onto both headlights. Then, use a microfiber cloth or soft automobile sponge to wipe away as much dust, dirt, and stuck-on debris as possible. Giving your headlights a quick preliminary wipedown will get rid of the worst of the mess, allowing the toothpaste to work more effectively on what’s left. Once your headlights are clean, dab them with your towel or chamois to soak up any standing streaks or droplets of moisture. Be sure to dry off the edges of the covers, as well.  If you’re using a towel, make sure it’s of the lint-free variety. Otherwise, you could end up leaving behind small fibers, which can easily become stuck on the headlight covers. Alternatively, you can apply the toothpaste while the headlights are still wet to produce a bubbly lather similar to soap. Stick strips of automotive masking tape or painter’s tape over the paint at the top, bottom, and sides of both lights. Afterwards, inspect your work closely to make sure that there’s no exposed paint visible near the portion of the lights you’ll be cleaning. The gritty toothpaste, combined with the pressure of polishing, could potentially damage any paint that’s not covered with tape.

SUMMARY: Wash the headlights thoroughly with glass cleaner or soapy water. Dry the headlights using an absorbent towel or chamois. Tape off the area around your headlights.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A coupon booklet includes things you mother can “redeem” later. These can be personal coupons, housework coupons, or anything else our mom might need help with! Look for good suggestions online, and tailor them to any inside jokes or common things your mother requests from you.  For example, if your mom is always asking for help in the kitchen, your coupon booklet could include info like “Wash the dishes without being asked” or “Make dinner when you’re tired.” If your mother hates doing yard work, your coupon booklet could include “Mow the lawn” or “Clean out the old shed.” For a coupon booklet that’s less about doing “chores” and more about bonding with your mother, prioritize coupons like “Watch your favorite TV show instead of mine” or “Good for 1 backrub.” To make a Mother’s Day card, take printer paper or colored paper and fold it in half. Decorate the front with stickers, hand-made drawings, hearts, and other sweet things, and fill the inside with a note to your mom about how special she is. Make sure you sign the card! Your poem to your mom can be an elaborate form-based poem like the sonnet, or something a simple and short poem like the haiku. Focus on things she does or says that you love and value, and write from the heart. If you live with your mother, or live close by, prepare her favorite breakfast before she wakes up. Then, gently knock on her door to surprise her with a tray of food!  Don’t forget to include a cup of her favorite juice or milk. Make sure to wake up early enough that you can make and serve the breakfast before she gets up! You don’t need to get your mother a fancy bouquet to make her Mother’s Day special. A bundle of flowers that you pick yourself from your backyard or nearby park can be just as precious! If your mother has a sweet tooth, get out the cupcake tray or cake batter and make her something special. You can even put icing on it or write her name on the cake to make it clear that this is for her on her special day!
Summary: Make her some Mother’s Day coupons. Create a personalized Mother’s Day card. Write her a poem. Bring her breakfast in bed. Pick her a bundle of wildflowers. Bake her cupcakes or a cake.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many speeches only present two or three main points. First, define these main points. Then, spend the majority of the time diving into details, providing additional facts, and convincing the audience of your main points. Separating your speech into sections not only makes it easier to follow, but also makes it easier to remember! Storytelling is a great way to remember something because every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. If you lose your place, knowing the “story” of your speech can help you find it again! If possible, turn your entire speech into one story, and tell yourself you’ll be telling this story to the audience. For example, if your speech is about diabetes, see if you can frame your speech so you follow a day in the life of someone with diabetes. If that doesn’t fit your structure, try telling the life story of someone who got diagnosed, started treatment, and now lives with diabetes daily. Trying to memorize your speech word-for-word in a short period of time is nearly impossible! If you don’t have much time, focus on memorizing facts, and organizing those facts into a logical flow. Once you get up onstage, transform those facts into sentences.  For example, if you’re giving a speech about flight patterns over the United States, memorize how many planes are in the air at any given time, what the largest airports are, and how much money the top 5 airlines make per year. Organize your memorized facts into a logical chronology, but don’t worry about memorizing the exact sentence you need to say in order to present your information. If your speech topic contains many sub-topics, try associating each category of information with a single word or phrase. Then, when you get to a part of your speech, or if someone in the audience asks you a question, use that word to remember the relevant facts and information! For example, if you’re giving a speech about the species in the Everglades National Park, organize your facts into various categories depending on the animal species. That way, when someone in the audience asks you about birds of prey in the Everglades, you can recall the relevant information quickly and present it smoothly. Give your speech to yourself in front of a mirror at least once before you present it to the public. This can help you notice if anything doesn’t make sense or flow logically, and it can also help you start developing the hand gestures and posture you’ll use during the speech. You might be nervous about giving a speech because you keep imagining something going wrong. If that’s the case, work through what you might do if something did go wrong. Walk through how you might give your speech without your PowerPoint, or how you might find your train of thought if you lose it. For example, if you’re worried that you’ll lose your train of thought, spend some time running over your speech structure. That way, if you do actually lose your train of thought while giving your speech, you’ll know what comes next, and you’ll be able to get back on track!
Summary:
Separate your speech into sections. Turn your speech into a story. Memorize facts if you don’t have much time to prepare. Organize your information into categories if you have to give a speech about a wide variety of topics. Practice in front of a mirror to smooth out any kinks. Create a contingency plan.
