Past habits
A. Read the text about Paul and answer the question:
· Why was Ben luckier than Paul?
My name is Paul. I got my first job when I was 12 years old. I worked as a paperboy delivering newspapers to people in my village every morning. I used to get up very early and deliver the papers to half of the village while my friend Ben delivered to the other half. I used to love seeing the empty streets of the village before anyone got up but I used to hate the job on rainy days. I sometimes rode my bike to get the job done faster. Ben was luckier than me, sometimes if he couldn’t be bothered to do his paper round, his Dad would drive him around his route in his car!

1. Paul had to deliver papers to the whole village T/F
