Student A: Did you use to be afraid of the dark when you were five years old?

Student B: Yes, I used to be afraid of the dark. I remember needing a nightlight in my room to feel more comfortable.

Student A: Oh, I didn't use to be afraid of the dark. I didn't mind sleeping in complete darkness.

Student B: That's interesting. Did you use to listen to stories at bedtime?

Student A: Yes, I used to love listening to stories before going to sleep. My parents would read to me, and it was always a special time.

Student B: That sounds lovely. I also used to listen to stories at bedtime. It was a nice way to wind down and relax.

Student A: Did you use to watch a lot of cartoons when you were five?

Student B: Oh, absolutely! I was a big fan of cartoons. I would spend hours watching my favorite shows.

Student A: Same here! Cartoons were a big part of my childhood too. I had a few favorite characters that I would always tune in to watch.

Student B: Did you use to have piano lessons?

Student A: No, I didn't have piano lessons. But my best friend did, and I would sometimes listen to her practice. It always sounded so beautiful.

Student B: Oh, I used to have piano lessons. I would practice every week and learn new songs. It was fun, but sometimes it felt like a lot of work too.

Student A: Did you use to walk to school on your own?

Student B: No, I didn't. My parents would always take me to school. How about you?

Student A: I used to walk to school on my own. It was just a short distance, and I enjoyed the independence of going to school by myself.

Student B: That's cool. It must have been a little adventure every day.

Student A: Definitely! It made me feel more grown-up and responsible.
