Jenny : Look, these are questions about how you got on at school? So have you just got through them?
Gavin : Yes, let’s.
Jenny : OK, so did you always work very hard?
Gavin : Well, I certainly worked pretty hard at the subjects I enjoyed. Yes, I did. What about you?
Jenny : Yes, I did actually. I think I worked very hard. Yeah. Now let’s come to the next question.
Gavin : Did, yeah, did you always listen carefully to your teachers?
Jenny : No, I don't think I did. No, I think I was quite disruptive, actually. What about you?
Gavin : Well, I think I did listen to the teachers certainly when I got to the level where I was doing the subjects that I enjoyed.
Jenny: Yeah, ok, the next question is, did you always behave well?
Gavin : I don’t think I always behaved well. I was a bit, err, a bit of a tearaway.
Jenny : Um. Well, I think I was pretty well-behaved on the whole, so I'd say yes, yeah.
Gavin : Good for you! Did you pass your exams easily?
Jenny : No, I can't say I did. No, I, I found them quite a struggle, actually. What about you?
Gavin : I didn't pass them that easily, though I worked hard I found it very difficult to answer all that long questions in a short time.
Jenny : Yeah, yeah, exactly. What about this one, then? Did you always write slowly and carefully?
Gavin : Quite slowly. Essays took a long time to write and I suppose I took a bit of care, yeah.
Jenny : Yes. I agree. I was also. I was very careful and uhm, yeah, yeah I was quite methodical.
Gavin: And did you think your school days were the best days of your life?
Jenny : Uhm, no, no. I can’t say they were. What about you?
Gavin : No, I went away to a boarding school when I was quite young and I didn't like that. No, they weren’t the best days of my life.
