An important event that I remember well was Wenchuan Earthquake. It happened on May 12, 2008 in Wenchuan, Sichuan. When I heard the news of this event, I was working. My friends were watching games on TV. This event is very important to me because many people died in the earthquake. They need some help. Lots of people came to help them.

Step 3 单元复习

过去进行时

1. 概念: 表示过去某个时刻或过去一段时间正在进行的动作。

2. 句子结构: 主语 + was/were + doing sth. + 时间状语

3. 时间状语词: at 5:00 yesterday afternoon, at that time, then 等连用, 或者用另一动作来表示过去的时间。如：

They were playing basketball when she arrived.

While they were playing basketball, she arrived.

过去进行时与一般过去时的区别

过去进行时着重描述当时正在持续进行的动作，它的特点是：暂时，持续和未完成，强调过程；一般过去时表示发生过的动作或存在的状态，即表示动作发生过，而且已经结束了，强调结果。

1) Shirley ______ a book about China last year but I don’t know whether she had finished it．

   A. has written          B. wrote    C. had written          D. was writing

2) Mary ____ a dress when she cut her finger.

   A. made                B. is making     C. was making          D. makes

was making 表示正在做衣服的过程，如用made 则表示这一动作已结束，做衣服的动作已结束与 cut her finger就没有联系。

3) He _______ (write) a letter, then went to bed.

wrote 表示动作已结束，做另一件事，如用was writing 就与 went to bed 在逻辑上相矛盾。

过去进行时侧重表示动作延长的时间长度; 一般过去时表示过去某时发生过某事，侧重说明事实。

He ___________ all night last night.

（他一直写……）

He ________ something last night．

（说明他写了……的事实）

注：下列几类动词通常不用过去进行时。

① 表示状态的动词 be；

② 感官动词：feel, hear, see, smell, taste等; 

③ 表示思维或心理状态的动词：believe (认为), forget, consider, know, remember, hope, wish, want 等；

④ 表示所属关系的动词：belong, have, own, hold (容纳)等。

when, while区别：

1. 由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；

   由while引导的时间状语从句，主句用一般过去时，从句应用过去进行时。

When the teacher came in, we were talking.

当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为： While we were talking, the teacher came in.

2. 如果从句和主句的动作同时发生，两句都用过去进行时的时候，多用while引导。如：

   They were singing while we were dancing.

活学活用

1. I _________ my homework when Mike ______ last night.

   昨天晚上迈克来的时候我正在写作业。

2. While Ann ____________ TV, her father _______ home.

   安正在看电视时，她父亲回来了。

3. What were you doing when I ________ at the door?

   我敲门(knock)的时候你在干什么？

4. She ______________ the room when I ______ to see her.

  我去看她的时候她不是在打扫房间。

课堂作业

某英语论坛发起了一个主题为“自己曾做过的一件好事”的讨论。请你将自己曾做过的一件好事写出来，发表在该论坛里，与大家一起分享。不少于80词，可适当发挥。

该写作任务要求用英语写一件过去发生的事情，即要求写一篇记叙文。写作时要注意记叙文的六要素：时间、地点、人物、事件起因、经过和结果。可以采用正叙、倒叙或插叙的方式来写。因为事情发生在过去，所以文章宜用一般过去时或过去进行时。

文章的整体结构可如下：

引出文章话题→Here is something ...

交代事情的具体经过→It was a sunny afternoon. I was ...

收尾，浅谈感悟→On that day, we went back home late, but ...
