Exercise #3

Adapting to a new culture - Avoiding conflict
Able or Unable


Mrs. Hardcastle: Was able to adapt by having the manger's (Patel) room instead of her room because the room she booked for has no doors.

Mr. Graham: He was looking for an address and he didn't find it, unfortunately. In fact, he was able to adapt with Indian kids by playing cricket with them and trying to enjoy every single moment. 
  
Mrs. Donelly: She travelled to India to get her hip replaced, and she kept saying that she wants to go back to england as soon as possible. In addition, she tried to avoid her surroundings which means that she refused to adapt.

Mr + Mrs Ainslie: Mr.Ainslie went out to discover India and tried to communicate with people over there, whereas Mrs.Ainslie stayed at the hotel and it looks like she didn't like the atmosphere.
