Grammar revision (the rule)
Hello, I’m Steve Pemberton.
I’d like to tell you about my work experience as a
project manager. I didn’t work for a big company, but
I liked it very much. I was responsible for a team of 4
designers. They wrote parts of computer software or
improved it. Sometimes we also could check some
software products to see if they were up to
standards. Was it difficult? Yes, it was! I needed to
keep my team focused and turning plans into reality.
We were really responsible and interactive and got a
lot of profitable projects.
I didn’t use to have a computer in my childhood, so used to
spend a lot of time walking and playing with my friends. I
also used to read a lot of books days and nights.
Unfortunately, I don’t have enough time to do it now.
I didn’t use to work back then, so I had a lot of spare time.
When I was a university student I got my first computer.
That’s why I used to spend sleepless nights in front of it,
browsing websites for information on course papers. Did I
use to play computer games? Of course, I did! Now they
seem primitive and boring, but at that time they used to be
awesome and really interactive.

And what about you? Did you use to do anything in your

past that you don’t do now? Tell us!
