A lot of people say that Philly is too dangerous, but actually it’s safe in most neighborhoods. 

 

A lot of people think that Americans only eat hamburgers and French fries, but in reality there are plenty of Americans that eat salads and quinoa. 

 

A lot of people say that Saudis have oil in their gardens, but in fact most parts of the country have no oil. 

 

Some people say that Neymar is the best player, but in fact Messi is better than him. 

 

Ibrahim says Neymar is better than Messi (because he plays in KSA and Messi is in the USA), but in fact he knows it’s not true. 

 

I used to live in Jordan (I did in the past, but now no)

I used to play American football

My father used to be in the Army

My mother used to work at Villanova University

I used to be a professional football player, but now I am a lawyer. 

I used to travel to Las Vegas (I traveled to Las Vegas many times, but now I don’t do that)

I didn’t use to drive (I didn’t drive in the past, but now I do)

You guys speak such good English.  Did you use to speak English?

No, I didn’t. 

Many people didn’t use to own a television, but nowadays a lot of people own a TV.

Many women didn’t use to work outside of the town.  But now a lot of women work outside of the town.

Telephones didn’t use to be portable.  But these days are very portable.

Technology didn’t use to be affordable.  But, now it is affordable for everyone.

People used to read books instead of watching TV.  But, today people do both.
