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.

I used to be a lonely kid at school and in my neighborhood, I was an only child so

I had few friends. I liked to study and get good grades. I didn’t used to play video
games because my parents didn’t have money to buy me one. At school I used to
wear uniforms every day.

I used to hate getting up early to go to school, I used to hate my classmate when

they played pranks on me. I used to hate onions in meals. I used to leaved my
glasses lying around. I used to not be lazy.

Since I was 12 years old many changes have happened in my life, what I used to
do I no longer do now. I was so lonely because of my shyness and I liked
studying because it helped me stand out from the rest. I was changing my body
when I become interested in groups of friends and girls my age. I don’t like onion
because I find it horrible.
