点一下不认识的单词。
Zhang Wei was walking near the city wall in Xi'an when it started to rain. He was holding a small umbrella, but it was not enough to keep him dry. People around him were running to find shelter.
While Zhang Wei was looking for a café to wait out the rain, he saw an old man sitting under a big tree. The old man was smiling and waving an extra umbrella. Zhang Wei was walking towards him when the rain became heavier.
The old man said, "You can share my umbrella. I was waiting here when the rain started." Zhang Wei felt grateful and happy. They were talking about the city and its history while walking slowly together.
After the rain stopped, Zhang Wei invited the old man for tea. They were sitting in the café, smiling and enjoying the warm drink. What started as a rainy day became a special memory with a new friend.
本篇语法
过去进行时 (Past continuous)
过去进行时表示过去某一时刻正在进行的事：At eight o'clock I was having dinner. 常和一般过去时一起用：较长的背景动作用过去进行时，突然发生的短动作用一般过去时：I was walking home when it started to rain.
was / were + verb-ing (… when + past simple)
