Have I made any mistakes?
David became furious when a woman a few seats behind him complained that he was talking too loud. He swung around and gave her a murderous stare. "If you've such sensitive ears, you shouldn't travel by bus, madam," he said louder this time. "Take a taxi, and you'll never hear people like me again. I've been talking loud all my life and don't have any intention to be silent just because I'm on the bus." The woman blushed, and lowered her eyes. An awkward silence fell over the passengers, who picked up their smartphones, pretending they got some important messages that attracted their attention. But David was in a quarrelsome mood. "Bloody Hell!" he shouted. "You're bothered with my loud voice, but you're not bothered that thousands homeless people will spend this cold night on the streets. And this is one of the richest countries in the world! No wonder we're in such a mess!" He became silent, but punched the air with his fist. They're all cowards, he thought. They're afraid of their own thoughts. They'll always do what they have been told, but not me. I'd rather shout than keep everything inside and then explode when it's too late.
