Read about Sophie's food passions. Then complete each sentence with used to or didn't use to + base
form of the verb.
When I was a child, I loved candies and chocolates. I think I ate about 2 chocolate bars a day! When I
was a teenager, I started eating a lot of meat. I had steaks and fries almost every day. I didn't care for
vegetables or fruit. Then on my 20th birthday, I decided I needed a change, so I became vegetarian.
These days I eat meat again, but I avoid fatty foods and sugar. I've lost a lot of weight and feel much
better.
