Let’s look at this video first, it’s title is ‘Bank Robberry in Downtown in Los Angles’:

What I learned in this class was ‘I saw/heard somebody do/doing something’. Examples:

A1. I saw them come in. (the action completed)
A2. I heard them switch on the TV.
B1. I saw some people coming towards the house. (not the whole action, part of that)
B2. I could hear them talking in wispers.

Here is the story:

As I passed the door, I stopped. A woman was crying. I tiptoed to the door and listened. A man said, ‘Give me the keys.’ I bent down and looked through the key hole. A man was kneeling in front of an open safe. Suddenly, the woman pulled a gun from her handbang and pointed it at the man. A shot rang out, and the man fell to the floor.

What did the person see and hear? So you can tell the story to the police like this:

As I passed the door, I stopped. I heard a woman crying. I tiptoed to the door and stopped. I heard a man say, ‘Give me the keys.’ I bent down and looked through the keyhole. I saw a man kneeling in front of an open safe. Suddenly, I saw the woman pull a gun from her handbag. I saw her point it at the man. I heard a shot ring out and I saw the man fall to the floor.

Now you can use the following phrases to decribe the things what’ve happened in tee video:
rushed out/into/up…
screeched to a halt
dashed into/up/out…
drove away
puzzled
ignored
eyewitness
You already knew this robber action were not a true story, right? Maybe just a part of movie.

Beside that, there was a short practising on the ‘Emphasising the point’. I think we can use the phrass to express our feeling: enjoy, really difficult, surprised you, annoyed you.

What/The thing(that) + I enjoy/I admire/I can’t stand/I find difficult/surprise me/annoys me/fascinate me + about…/is….

Examples:

I really enjoy reading the Sunday papers in bed.
The thing I really enjoy is reading the Sunday papers in bed.
I find phasal verbs really difficult.
What I find really difficult is phrasal verbs.
In New York the shops stay open all night. That really surprised me.
The thing really surprised me about New York was that the shops open all night.
He never answered my letters — that really annoyed me.
The thing that really annoyed me is that he never answered my letters.

At last, I would like to introduce a blog which owner is Wangpei, that’s a learning english blog which name is PiEnglish.
