Reconstruct the text “Cybernetics” into a dialogue.
The main rules governing a conversation in English:
The person who asks questions in a conversation usually controls it. Personal questions should be expressed tactfully.
Add new phrases to the previous ones:
Let’s be realistic about this plan/suggestion, etc.
I / we / you have got to think of other sides of this problem as well.
I think it would be reasonable / well-grounded / good, etc. if we discussed your suggestion in detail.
That’s completely irrelevant/off the point. We’re talking about another problem.
Perhaps we could go back to the main point.
Could you stick to the subject/point, please?
That’s very interesting, but I don’t think it’s really to the point.
