Read the text aloud.
Another administration option is to bake marijuana at a relatively low temperature to kill any dangerous microorganisms and then allow that patient to eat it or drink it. Both of these methods of administration make smoking the drug unnecessary. However, criticism of medical marijuana has also been raised because as a natural plant, it cannot be patented and marketed by pharmaceutical companies and is unlikely to win widespread medical acceptance.

Words to stress correctly
| microorganisms | mi·cro·OR·gan·i·sms | /maɪkroʊˈɔrɡənɪzəmz/ |
| administration | ad·min·is·TRA·tion | /ædmɪnɪsˈtreɪʃən/ |
| pharmaceutical | phar·ma·CEU·ti·cal | /fɑrməˈsutɪkəl/ |
| unnecessary | un·NE·ces·sa·ry | /ənˈnɛsəsɛri/ |
| marijuana | ma·ri·JUA·na | /mɛrəˈwɑnə/ |
| relatively | RE·la·tive·ly | /ˈrɛlətɪvli/ |
70 words, aim for 27–32 seconds. No numbers. Breathe after microorganisms, after unnecessary and after plant; a short pause after However and before and is unlikely.
Where marks are usually lost
Stress: ad·min·is·TRA·tion (twice), mi·cro·OR·gan·i·sms, phar·ma·CEU·ti·cal, un·NE·ces·sa·ry, ma·ri·JUA·na. Hesitating before these long words costs fluency. Keep the endings: methods, companies, patented, marketed, raised.
General tip: This is the longest passage; keep an even pace and don’t speed up at the end — widespread medical acceptance should sound as clear as the first sentence.

中文: 另一种给药方式是把大麻在相对较低的温度下烘烤，以杀死任何危险的微生物，然后让患者食用或饮用。这两种给药方法都使吸食这种药物变得没有必要。然而，医用大麻也受到批评，因为作为一种天然植物，它无法被制药公司申请专利并推向市场，因此不太可能赢得广泛的医学认可。
हिन्दी: दवा देने का एक और तरीका है मारिजुआना को अपेक्षाकृत कम तापमान पर बेक करना ताकि कोई भी ख़तरनाक सूक्ष्मजीव मर जाएँ, और फिर मरीज़ को उसे खाने या पीने देना। दवा देने के ये दोनों तरीक़े इसे धूम्रपान करना अनावश्यक बना देते हैं। हालाँकि, चिकित्सीय मारिजुआना की आलोचना भी हुई है क्योंकि एक प्राकृतिक पौधा होने के कारण दवा कंपनियाँ इसका पेटेंट नहीं करा सकतीं और न ही इसे बाज़ार में बेच सकती हैं, इसलिए इसे व्यापक चिकित्सीय स्वीकृति मिलने की संभावना कम है।
नेपाली: औषधि दिने अर्को विकल्प भनेको मारिजुआनालाई तुलनात्मक रूपमा कम तापक्रममा बेक गरेर खतरनाक सूक्ष्मजीवहरू मार्नु र त्यसपछि बिरामीलाई त्यो खान वा पिउन दिनु हो। यी दुवै विधिले यो औषधि धूम्रपान गर्नु अनावश्यक बनाउँछन्। तर, चिकित्सकीय मारिजुआनाको आलोचना पनि भएको छ किनभने प्राकृतिक बिरुवा भएकाले औषधि कम्पनीहरूले यसको पेटेन्ट लिन र बजारमा बेच्न सक्दैनन्, त्यसैले यसले व्यापक चिकित्सकीय स्वीकृति पाउने सम्भावना कम छ।
Tiếng Việt: Một cách dùng khác là nướng cần sa ở nhiệt độ tương đối thấp để tiêu diệt mọi vi sinh vật nguy hiểm, rồi cho bệnh nhân ăn hoặc uống. Cả hai phương pháp này đều khiến việc hút loại thuốc này trở nên không cần thiết. Tuy nhiên, cần sa y tế cũng bị chỉ trích vì là một loài cây tự nhiên, nó không thể được các công ty dược cấp bằng sáng chế và tiếp thị, nên khó có khả năng được giới y khoa chấp nhận rộng rãi.
