The decision they practise
In “Gordon and the heater”, 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 “When heating fights itself” and “One night in the office”.
