Examiner
What do you usually do in the library?
Candidate
While I'm inside library I prefer to read books. Sometimes I already have a book with me, other times I need to get a new book, which is bit of a hassle because my mind keeps dangling between fiction and non fiction. But in time I do get a book and once I get it, I'll just read it.
Examiner
Did you go to the library when you were a kid?
Candidate
As a kid I used to hate reading books. Because of that I didn't go to library much. But in recent times I have understood the actual meaning of studying rather than watching anything. So I prefer to go to libraries now, but as a kid I never used to.
