Maria:	Oh, those children look so cute!
Svetlana:	Mmm, I remember when I was in primary school, I looked cute but I was a terrible child.
Maria:	Oh, what did you do?
Svetlana:	I used to talk all the time. I was very noisy. My teachers used to get angry with me a lot.
Maria:	Well, my teachers really liked me because I always did my work and I was well behaved.
Svetlana:	Well, you are still the same!

Pedro and Maria talk about their schooldays.

Pedro:	Oh, I don't! I didn't like school very much.
Maria:	I did. I had a great time at school. Why didn't you like it?
Pedro:	Oh, it was boring. I wasn't very good at reading and writing. I remember missing a lot of classes - I preferred playing my guitar.
Maria:	Did you get into trouble?
Pedro:	No, not really. My parents didn't mind.
Maria:	You were lucky!
