Accident at the Bakery

I was at the bakery working when a customer came in and wanted a loaf of bread. I got a loaf and put it into the slicer. I put the bread in the wrong way so I tried to remove it. However,  I could not get it out and cut my fingers. My workmate gave me first aid and an ambulance was called.

Exercise 1 :

Can you write a similar report about the accident in the restaurant?

Use the table and report above to help you?

Grammar : You will notice in the report that we use the PAST CONTINUOUS and the PAST SIMPLE together to describe actions that are related, close to one another in time, or when one action is interrupted by another. We also used the conjunctions WHEN and WHILE

eg. I was putting the bread into the slicer when it got stuck.

Week 7 & 8, Term 3: Making Complaints

Level 3 : Listening

This week we have been learning about making and responding to complaints. On public transport, in the workplace and when we go shopping - there are many opportunities for this. This week I am introducing you to a new listening site called Elllo.org. There are hundreds of listening lessons for you and the speakers are from all over the world. In the lesson below, Todd is complaining about Hollywood films. Do you agree with him?

In class we listened to the conversation between an inspector and traveller on public transport. The inspector gives the lady a $158 dollar fine but the lady protests. The ticket machine at Yarraville station was broken. The inspector tells the lady to write a letter of complaint.

The Past Continuous

We use this tense in the following ways:


*Emphasizing 'the progress' of an action in the past
Example: He was playing football.

*Talking about two actions happening at the same time (in the past)
Example: While she was preparing dinner, he was washing the dishes.

*Talking about action going on at a certain time in the past
Example: When I was having breakfast, the phone suddenly rang.
