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.
