Paul suggests that they look for the office together.
Meili doesn’t accept his help.
They pass each door, and check if it’s Anna Maywald’s office.

  1. It’s a bit confused the beginning of the history (or maybe I’m not paying attention enough) but how Paul in the previous lesson had no idea where was the bureau and in this lesson Anna Maywald is his friend?

    1. One explanation might be that Paul’s friend Anna told him where her workplace is. But that isn’t enough information for him to know exactly where to find her office. So he has to look for it.

  2. Just a little observation: Qu 3 in English should be “ Paul suggests that they look for the office together”
    Or
    “Paul suggested looking … together”
    (We cannot say “suggests to look”
