The decision they practise
In “Ben wants a word”, 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 “Noise, or a pattern?”; and “The leaver’s last 30 days”.

The 13-question quiz mixes multiple choice and matching questions and returns to the opening story.
