The decision they practise
In “At the water break”, 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 “How the picture builds” and “Rewriting Ama’s note”.
How you know they finished
The 12-question quiz mixes multiple choice, matching and sequencing questions and returns to the opening story.
