Hi, everyone!
Last week, we started talking about past experiences and, thus, using past
simple and past continuous to tell anecdotes, memories, and so on. Here you
have some activities to get further practice:

MY HAPPIEST MEMORY
I have many happy memories, but one of the
happiest ones is when I went to my first concert. It was about 4 years ago, in
October. I went with my cousin, a friend of hers, and my sister. It was in
Santiago, at Club Hípico; so we left Viña quite early, just a little after
noon. We got there at half past 2, and the concert started after 8 pm. When the
band appeared on stage, everybody started to jump and sing. I started to push
and jump to get closer to the stage. When I was about 2 meters away, I started
to feel sick and breathless, so I got out of the crowd and sat on the grass.
There were a lot of people sitting in groups there, and I could still see half
of the stage. Dave Murray was standing right there, playing his guitar and
swinging his arm in a circle... Then Bruce Dickinson came next to him...
It was near the end of the show when someone
asked me if I wanted to be raised to see the entire stage, and, even though it
was kind of embarrassing, I said "YES!" I remember it so well; I was
there singing "fear of the dark" while a huge "Eddie" was
walking back and forth on the stage.
After the concert I had a grin on my face for
3 days or so...
I went to Iron Maiden's last concert, on April
10th, 2010, and I enjoyed myself a lot too, but the first one was really, realy
special...
