Game · 10 minutes · in English · level A2
Your boss wants the March numbers by Friday. Anna, a colleague in the Netherlands you have never met, has them. Nine decisions to ask a favour in English, and get it without losing a colleague.
How it works
- Read the situation and pick one of the two roads.
- Write why in English, using the communicative function given at each move.
- See at once what it cost you, on two axes the game shows you from the start.
Here you play the first three moves for free, with the model answer at every move. The other six, the ending and the marking of the sentences you write are in the Fluent at Work course for that level. At the end of the preview, the Debrief: your scores and the three model sentences by email, if you want them. All the decision games, from A2 to C1
The Favour
Nine decisions. None of them is obviously right — and you say why in English before you find out what it cost.
You work in the office of an Italian company. Your boss needs the sales numbers for March by Friday. The numbers are with Anna, a colleague in the Netherlands. You do not know her well. You speak English with her by chat, email and phone. It is Tuesday.
