Part B

Think about when you were 12 years old. Write three paragraphs about the things
that you used to do, you used to like or used to hate and explain why. You have
some ideas in the box.
 I used to be a rebel.
I used to be lazy.
I used to work hard.
I used to like all the teachers.
I used to play a lot of video
games.
I used to wear a uniform.
I used to hate vegetables.
I used to have longer hair.
I used to play football.
I used to wear glasses.

At the age of 12, I used to play hide-and-seek because that was my favorite game
and I had a lot of fun playing it. I used to have longer hair. My mom said I was too
young to take some decisions for example I was forbidden to choose which
haircut I would like to have.

When I was 12, I used to eat a lot of junk food, I thought that was very healthy, but
eventually I understood that I had to change my eating habits. Now I eat junk food
a few times a week and I always eat vegetables at lunch.

When I was 12, I wouldn't leave my schoolwork to do it late at night. When I got
home, the first thing I did was do my learning activities. I always had the habit of
doing the activities as soon as possible.
