The decision they practise
In “The fryer”, 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 “The fire triangle” and “Two versions of Saturday night”.
How you know they finished
The 10-question quiz mixes multiple choice, matching, sequencing and spot-the-hazard questions and returns to the opening story.
