The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Find the four problems”, learners spot the red flags in a realistic document and see the effect of each choice. In “Before item 6”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “How an undeclared interest unravels” and “Would the minutes show you thought about it?”.
How you know they finished
