PART 1

Read the short text below and then answer the questions.

One day your colleague doesn’t arrive at work. This is unusual because he has never
been sick in the past. When you ask your boss about him, she tells you that he contacted
the company to say that he was sick. He returns to work two weeks later. He has lost a
lot of weight but looks very healthy and has a good suntan. You also notice that he is
very calm when he works and does not seem to get as frustrated as he did in the past
with you or his other colleagues.

Use language for deduction to answer the questions:

Why did your colleague take time off work?

How can you explain his physical condition?
How can you explain his new calm manner?

PART 2

A few days later you talk to your colleague. Here are some of things he told you:

He was feeling burned out and needed a break from work.

He went on a 10-day meditation vacation.
He now meditates regularly and follows a vegan diet.

For each statement, think of at least one clarifying or confirming question you could
ask him.
