B Now think about someone in your class and try to guess what he or she was like as a
student in eighth grade (at about the age of 13). Tell him or her what you think and see if
you are right. The conversation should go like this.

Student A: I think your favourite subject was probably science am I right?
Student B: No, actually. My favourite subject was maths.
Student A: Really? Were you good at maths?
Student B: I wasn't bad. I got better later.
Student A: OK. Im sure you really hated French!
Student B: Yes, youre right. But I speak it quite well now.
