The copier and the one who competes at everything, sentence 16

Whenever the teacher asks a question, Mia whispers her answer to herself and Zoe, next to her, shouts it first: «Photosynthesis!» Zoe gets the house point every time — until Mia starts writing her answers down and putting her hand straight up, and the teacher starts saying, «Zoe, your own answer, please.» Sam shows Kofi a sneaky chess trap; a week later Kofi tells the club, «I literally invented this, it's called the Kofi.» Sam laughs: «Bruh, I showed you that last Thursday.» Kofi goes red, and the club calls it «the Sam-Kofi» from then on.

Who acts: teacher, Mia, Zoe, Sam, Kofi, club · What happens: ask, whisper, shout, get, start, write down · To what, where: question, answer, Mia, house point, answers, hand · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «The copier and the one who competes at everything» of the everyday course of Mova's primary school.
