Task 1: Listen and Understand (Context Meaning)

Dialogue Script (for your reference after listening):
Leo: Maya, are you ready for the train? It leaves in 20 minutes.
Maya: Leo, I need to apologise. I was looking for my passport and I accidentally knocked your souvenir mug off the table. It broke.
Leo: Oh no! That was a gift from my grandmother.
Maya: I know, I'm really sorry. It was completely my fault. I'll find a way to replace it.
Leo: Okay, please don't beat yourself up about it. Accidents happen. Just be more careful next time.
Maya: I will be. Thank you for understanding.
Questions:
- What is Maya's problem? What did she do?
- How does Leo feel about what happened? Find a phrase from the dialogue that shows his feeling.
