    Beginner
    A; are you interested in history?
    B: yes, I am. I enjoyed studying it at school, though I had trouble remembering all the dates, so my teacher never gave me good marks.
    A: I love history, but I’ve always thought that learning the reasons behind events is more important than remembering exactly when they happened.
    B; I wish you had been my history teacher! I might have got better marks!
    A; some people say that history repeats itself.
    B; what does that mean? The same events never happen twice, do they?
    A: the idea is that the people and dates change, but the reason why things happen stay the same.
    B: I see . I think I’d agree with that statement. People often seem to make the same mistakes over and over again.
