   • the coach saying "TR2. Start!"
   • the pc (same person) giving a line, "Stop this moment I tell you!"
   • the student giving an ack that shows he understood what was said, and that ends cycle, "OK!"
   • the coach saying, "Good"
   • the pc giving a line, "I'm sure those are not the right words."
   • the student giving an acknowledgement hesitatingly, "Okay...."
   • the coach saying "Flunk! It didn't end the cycle. Start!"
   • the pc giving the same line, "I'm sure those are not the right words."
   • the student giving an ack in a way that shows he understood what was said, and also that ends the comm cycle, "As you wish".
