Jenny:    Look, these are questions about how you got on at school.

               Shall we just go 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 1 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, er, a bit of a tearaway.

Jenny:      Um. Well, 1 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 1 did, no, I, I found them quite a struggle, actually.

                What about you?

Gavin:     I didn’t pass them that easily, because I worked hard but also 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, yes.

Jenny:     Yes, I agree. I was also, I was very careful and erm, yeah, yeah 1 was

                quite methodical.

Gavin:      And did you think your school days were the best days of your life?

Jenny:     Um, no, no I can’t say they were. What about you?

Gavin:      No, I went away to boarding school when I was quite young and I

                didn't like that. No, I, they weren’t the best days of my life.
