1.What expressions do the speakers use to show concern for others
2.Why do all the conversations use the past continuous tense (was/were doing) instead of the simple past tense
We use the past continuous tense to show that an action was still happening when a sudden disaster started. It sets the scene and makes the story clearer.
Further thinking
She was...
...
What was Xinyi doing at the time of...
...
1d Ask and answer questions about the people in the conversations.
Useful expressions:
1.What was [人名] doing at the time of the [disaster]
2.What were you doing when the [disaster] happened
3.What were you doing while it was [snowing/raining]
Language points
My family were having dinner when she called.
I was doing my homework when the building shook all of a sudden.
What were you doing when it started, Jiaming
Oh, I was doing some chores while my mother was preparing lunch.
What were you doing while it was snowing
I was travelling on the train then.
过去进行时（Past Continuous Tense）
主语 + was/were + 动词 - ing（现在分词）
强调动作在过去某个时间点 “正在进行”，常与具体时间状语连用，
如：at 8 o'clock last night, at that time, while, when 等。
My family were having dinner when she called.
I was doing my homework when the building shook all of a sudden.
What were you doing when it started, Jiaming
Oh, I was doing some chores while my mother was preparing lunch.
What were you doing while it was snowing
I was travelling on the train then.
when 和 while 引导时间状语从句的区别
when：
从句动词可以是短暂性动词（如：come, start, shake, call），也可以是延续性动词。
表示 “当…… 的时候”，强调在某个时间点或时间段内发生的动作。
while：
从句动词必须是延续性动词（如：rain, snow, prepare, travel），不能是短暂性动词。
表示 “在…… 期间”，强调动作的持续过程。
