history: I had a karate match last week, for my black belt. I was up against stiff competition, but I practised so much that I was ready for it, and beat my opponent I've been practising karate for a while_comma_ and recently I had a fight for another belt. I trained so hard for it.
current: That's great! Did you win your fight.
next: Yes, I won! It was a tough fight, but I knew I could do it.
