The decision they practise
In “Yusra arrives”, 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 “Hamid’s last week” and “Two ways the morning could go for the team”.
How you know they finished
The 12-question quiz mixes multiple choice, matching and sequencing questions and returns to the opening story.
