When I was 13 I used to be tall for my age.
I used to love tennis.
We used to go/would go to the coast every year in the summer throughout my childhood.
Laura visited Paris for the first time on her sixteenth birthday.
From the age of nine until last year I used to be the happiest kid I know.
David never used to have many friends.
I didn’t like rock and roll music until last year.
He would write his autobiography, even though he wasn’t very well-known.
He used to be a good footballer, even though he didn’t practice very much.
When I was a child we didn’t use to go to expensive restaurants.
I think it's better to live in the city. I was
born and live now in a big city and
probably that's why I think like this.
But I have other thoughts. I prefer life in
the city, because in the city life is more
diverse and you can visit a lot of
historical sights, museums, galleries,
theatres, etc. You can't find these things
in the countryside.
There are more opportunities for learning
in the city; most schools and universities
are situated in cities, towns or near them.
In cities life is more modern; and in the
country often there are no modern
conveniences.
But in the country there is more free time,
the environment is not as polluted as in
the city and people are healthier.
But I decided for myself, that it is best to
live in the city and often go to the
countryside at weekend and on holidays!
