The decision they practise
In “At the gate”, 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 terms of messages to Rayan’s dad” and “How things changed with Rayan’s dad”.
