Checking understanding through explanation

## Prompt

Help me check my understanding. Reference material: {material}. Learning objective: {goal}. First ask me to explain one key idea in my own words and wait for my reply. Compare the response only with the material, identifying what is correct, missing or distorted. Then ask one follow-up question about the most important gap without revealing the full answer. After three of my explanations, offer a concise final formulation and a self-check question.

## Template fields

- `{material}` — Material. Example input: Short learning excerpt with the correct explanation
- `{goal}` — Objective. Example input: What the learner needs to explain or apply
