Talking about the past:

When I was a child, I liked candies and chocolates. I didn't like mayonnaise or fish.

I played soccer on the street with my friends, "hide and seek", stickers, and videogames. I played nintendo and super nintendo.

I listened to hip-hop, rock and pop music.

I watched cartoons like Hey Arnold! Rugrats, Dragon ball, Saint Seiya and others.
