Which tens should I use?

Let's imagine I am reading a short text about cloning and later I want to sum it up. Which tense should I use to summarize it? Can I say the text describes? The author of the text tells about...or Is telling about?

We can't generalize which tense we should use based solely on a few words. If your summary was your interpretation or view, I would agree

, When can examination be plural? When you are talking about more than one.
eg Yesterday I had two examinations. One was on pathology and the other was on pharmacology.
