WHAT HAS JUST HAPPENED AROUND

In the clip below you are going to see what people have (just) done. Try to guess before the interviewer answers the question.



After you have watched the video and done the exercise, pass on to the challenge below

Your turn:
First, tell us where you are and what you are doing.
Look at the people around you wherever you are, in your house, or watch out of the window, or watch TV for a couple of minutes, read from a newspaper/book and then let us know what people, actors, characters, etc. have done.

Example:
Context:  It's Saturday afternoon, 5:00pm and I am inside, preparing the lesson for you. The TV is on and my husband is watching the news.

What has just happened around:
I little kid has just cried out for her mom in the playground near my block. The ambulance has raced past, I've heard its siren.
The news reporter has announced the number of victims in Japan. I've also read on Yahoo news that UN forces have hammered targets in Lybia.

Now it's your time, tell us what you have done, heard, seen, read... etc.

I started doing all of the English subjects which I have forgot to do so far:D. The thing is there is a lot of work to do so I'm probably gonna be doing this for some time now. After all this is done, I will be having a good night's sleep.
