Listening Review: Past Continuous
Yesterday Mr. Trego gave a test. After he
handed out the test, he sat down at his desk and looked around the classroom.
Most students were busy. They were writing answers on their papers. But others
were looking into the air with a confused look on their faces. They were trying
to figure out the answers. When a student asked Mr. Trego for a summer school
form, he stepped out of the classroom for a moment. When he came back in, two
students were cheating. One woman was asking her friend for the answers. Mr.
Trego got mad and told them both to stop talking. One student finished the test
at about 9:05 and went to work.
