Q: Once you have a draft of the speech completed, take the time to read the speech aloud to yourself and to others. Listen to how the speech flows. Notice if there are any awkward sentences or sections. Adjust them so the speech sounds natural and polished.  When you read the speech aloud, notice if you skip over any words. You may be able to remove any words you skip over for flow. If you read the speech aloud to others, you can ask them for feedback. Ask them if they found any parts of the speech boring or hard to follow. Be open to getting constructive feedback on the speech so it is at its best. Make sure the spelling, grammar, and punctuation in the speech is correct. Try reading the speech backwards to confirm each word is spelled correctly. Circle all the punctuation and confirm it is correct. Correct punctuation is especially important if you are going to read the speech aloud to an audience, as the punctuation will tell you when to pause or take a breath. Often, a comma means pausing in your speech and a period means taking a short breath. You should also look over the speech to make sure each section is clear and easy to follow. Often, shorter is better so if there are any wordy or overly long sections, try to make them shorter. Look for any words or terms you do not need. If there is a time constraint for the speech, you should also time yourself reading the speech to confirm it is within the limit.
A: Read the speech aloud. Proofread the speech. Revise the speech for clarity and length.

Q: You can typically treat mild-to-moderate acne at home, but it usually takes 4-8 weeks to see results. If your acne doesn’t improve after a month, it’s possible you need additional treatment. Talk to your dermatologist to learn about your treatment options so that you can get clearer skin.  The dermatologist may recommend trying over-the-counter treatments before you try a prescription treatment. You can discuss your acne with your primary doctor, but a dermatologist will have more experience treating skin conditions. Cystic and nodule acne is bright red, and may look like boils or wounds on your face. These types of acne are more severe and often causes scarring. Additionally, cystic and nodule acne forms deep under your skin, so it often doesn’t respond to topical treatments. Talk to your dermatologist to find out if you need an oral treatment for your acne. Then, ask them how you can best care for your skin.  Your dermatologist may prescribe you an oral antibiotic to treat your acne from the inside. Additionally, your dermatologist may prescribe you oral contraceptives if your acne is caused by hormonal fluctuations. While you might be able to get rid of widespread acne with natural treatments, sometimes you need a stronger treatment to help manage your acne. See a dermatologist to find out if you need a stronger treatment. They may recommend you take an oral antibiotic to get your acne under control. You may be able to switch back to your natural skincare routine after you get your acne under control. While you likely don’t need to worry, a sudden outbreak of acne during adulthood can be a symptom of a serious illness. Fortunately, your doctor can determine if you have an underlying medical condition that needs treatment. Visit your doctor immediately to find out if you need treatment. You’re probably okay, but it’s best to get checked by your doctor to be sure. While it’s rare, it’s possible to have an allergic reaction to your natural treatments. If this happens, you need immediate treatment. Call your doctor or visit an urgent care center or emergency room if you have an allergic reaction.
A: See a dermatologist if your acne doesn’t improve after 4-8 weeks. Visit your dermatologist if you have cystic or nodule acne. Consult your dermatologist if you have widespread acne. Talk to your doctor immediately for sudden onset of adult acne. Get immediate medical care for an allergic reaction to your treatments.

Q: In a small number of cases, signs of TS do not become apparent until a girl reaches her teens or even early adulthood.  A female that is consistently well below average height or seems to never experience a "growth spurt" may benefit from testing for TS. Generally speaking, if a teen girl is 8 inches (20 cm) or more below average height, testing for TS may be warranted. Most females with TS have ovarian failure that causes infertility and prevents the onset of puberty.  This failure can occur early in life or progressively over time, making it possible that it will not become apparent until the teen years. If there is little indication of the start of puberty — body hair growth, breast development, menstruation, sexual maturation, etc. — in a girl who is well into her teens, TS should be considered a strong possibility. TS can also impact the mental and emotional development of some females, and these effects may not be as noticeable during early childhood.  If, however, as a teen or young adult, a girl has social difficulties due to an inability to "read" others' emotions and responses, TS should be considered. Additionally, teen girls with TS may have a particular learning disability in regards to spatial concepts.  This, for instance, may become more apparent as mathematics classes become increasingly advanced.  This doesn't mean that any girl having trouble in math class has TS, of course, but it may be worth consideration when other factors are present. Just because a girl is especially short, has kidney problems, has a low hairline on the neck, or has not started puberty by the typical age range does not mean she has TS.  Visual cues and common symptoms can only indicate TS; a medical diagnosis via genetic testing is the only way to confirm the condition.  Karyotype genetic testing to accurately diagnose TS requires only a blood draw and a wait of a week or two for the lab results.  It is simple and highly accurate. Most cases of TS are detected and diagnosed before or shortly after birth, but if you suspect an undiagnosed case, seek a medical opinion promptly.  The sooner the condition is confirmed (if present), the sooner important treatments can begin.  A timely use of growth hormones, for instance, can make a significant difference in the final height of a female with TS.
A:
Watch for a growth rate that is well below average. Take notice if signs of puberty's onset are missing. Look for specific learning and social difficulties. See a doctor to confirm your suspicions.
