- 2 (She’s Brazilian, but speaks German at home and has Russian and Turkish parents!)
- 3 (He wanted to ask about the people of the inner forest but asked about people with tasty insides; his colleague wanted to say the food was delicious, but ended up saying he liked eating children!)

- no match (Students may say conversation 3, because of the comments about eating children, but this would be incorrect.)
