Я любил играть на пианино.
Мне понравилось беговые лыжи.
Мне понравился чай.

Я часто бывал на разных вечеринках и любил ходить туда.
Теперь :
У меня нет домашних животных, и у них нет времени.
Я долго не играл на пианино.
Я практически никогда не катаюсь на лыжах.
Я пью много кофе и люблю его. У меня часто нет чашки чая.
Я почти никогда не ходила в кино.

Answer 2

At School:

• Mary liked her dog, Socks.
• She was fond of playing the piano.
• She liked cross-country skiing.
• She liked tea.
• She often went to the cinema and loved it.
• She often went to different parties and loved going there.

Now:

• Mary has no pets, and no time for them.
• She hasn't played the piano for years.
• She practically never goes skiing.
• She drinks a lot of coffee and loves it.
• She doesn't often have a cup of tea.
• She hardly ever goes to the cinema.
• She doesn't go out much these days.

Mary has changed in several ways since her school days. She no longer has a dog, has given up playing the piano, and rarely goes cross-country skiing, indicating a shift in her leisure activities and interests. Her beverage preference has changed from tea to coffee, and she has reduced her frequency of going to the cinema and attending parties, suggesting a more homebound or less social lifestyle compared to her school days.
