A : She can't be that bad. Look at the results she got in the last exams.
B : Yes, well - it's true that the students all passed, but I still think she's a lousy teacher. If you ask me, her lessons were so incomprehensible that her students all did loads of work at home to make up.

A: You must have had a terrible holiday with all that bad weather. You really picked the wrong week to go camping.
B: Oh it wasn't that bad. It's true that it rained every day, but we had a good time nevertheless.
