 Summarizing Questions Teacher: Don’t we have something for the first summary?

Delta: A bunch of questions.

Kappa: It is something. We wanted to clarify our problem, remember?

Teacher: I remember. Would you like to try, Kappa?

Kappa: OK, but you all help me.

Delta: Count me in!

Beta: I’ll join in.

Gamma: I’ll do my best.

Teacher: Alpha, are we in?

Alpha: I’m not sure we’ve got enough material for all helpers. . . . I’ll let you know if you miss something.

Teacher: It’s a deal. Go ahead, Kappa.

Kappa: OK. We have got, so far. . . first, could someone be creative in taking a test one is not prepared for? Does this question stand?

Alpha: Baloney.

Delta: Continue, Kappa. You got one.

Beta: Generally, if you don’t know an answer, then a simple question becomes a complex problem to resolve. ..

Kappa: OK. The second question is: could it be creative guessing?

Alpha: But that’s the same question!

Delta: I believe guessing is part of any creation.

Alpha: But this doesn’t make any sense!

Teacher: Alpha, we shall discuss this, but let us do the summary first.

Alpha: We were going to sum up questions, but the first one is obviously not a question at all, and the second one is the same as the first one.

Beta: I wouldn’t be so sure about both. You can never predict what pops up in a discussion.

Alpha: All right, I’ll keep silent regardless of what you say.

Delta: You can’t, Alpha. You promised to let us know if we miss something.

Alpha: That’s enough! Do you want to discuss me or our topic?

Teacher: Our topic. And I assume everyone is ready to continue.

Kappa: If someone does not like a question, we can reformulate it, right?
