The decision they practise
In the main activity, “Find the five problems”, learners spot the red flags in a realistic document and see the effect of each choice. In “Naomi and Ravi”, 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 “Two ways to read the same month” and “Two versions of Ravi’s absence”.
