2. Read the following conversation between Rajiv and Leon.
On Monday evening, Rajiv is waiting for Leon to come home from his trip to Cambridge. After his conversation with Mr Lewis and the other boys, Rajiv is not angry with Leon anymore. He is now sure that Leon didn’t mean to hurt him. Rajiv wants to talk to Leon about their misunderstandings.
Rajiv: Leon, welcome back. How was your trip to Cambridge?
Leon: It was boring and I had an argument with Mr. Lewis. I think he’s still very angry with me.
Rajiv: Oh, I’m sorry about that. What happened?
Leon: I told him that I didn’t like the trip and that I hated British food. I think I should have been more careful about what I said. I didn’t mean to hurt him, of course, but I wasn’t feeling well at all. And I always get grumpy when I’m sick.
Rajiv: I hope it wasn’t my mum’s curry that made you feel sick.
Leon: No, not at all. Your mum’s curry was delicious. I mean, at first I wasn’t too excited about the idea of having curry. I was afraid it might be very spicy. But now I know what the word “curry” really means.
Rajiv: So why did you not feel well?
Leon: I think because of all the tap water that I drank.
Rajiv: But ...
Leon: ... Don’t worry, I was only joking. But when you first offered me tap water and told me that it was ok to drink it, I wasn’t so sure if I should drink it. In Germany mostpeople don’t drink tap water. Anyway, it was the bus trip that made me sick. I always get sick on buses.
