Dialogue 2a
Alice: So these are your old classmates, aren’t they?
Barbara: Yes. This is Alexandra. She was my best friend and she was very good at sports. She went to university to study PE.
Alice: And who is this boy?
Barbara: That’s Julian. He loved music and could play five instruments! Now he is a professional violinist. I think he plays in the London Orchestra.
Alice: Really? He’s also very handsome…
Barbara: Yes, he is. And nice. Everybody liked him… And here is Harry. He was Julian’s best friend.
Alice: Was he a musician, too?
Barbara: No, he enjoyed geography and history.
Alice: And what does he do now?
Barbara: To tell you the truth, I’m not sure. But I think he works as a guide for a travel agency.
Alice: I see… And this girl here?
Barbara: That’s Jennifer. She was excellent at mathematics. She is a math teacher at university now.

Jack: You’re so good with computers, Mike. Did you learn/ learned about them at school?

Mike: Hmm… they were music/mathematics and physics.
Jack: Really? Then it’s clear why you’re so good with computers.
Mike: And how about you, Jack? What did/do you like?
Jack: PE, like so many other children. I didn’t like studying very much.
Mike: I hated PE. We had a very strict teacher and we had to run on/in the school field for hours.
Jack: Did you also study French?
Mike: Oh yes, we had a wonderful tutor/teacher. She was from France. I loved talking with her. But when we write/wrote in French, it was very difficult.
