On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, 'It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!' I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.

星期三晚上，我们去了市政厅。那天是这一年的最后一天，一大群人聚集在市政厅的大钟下面。再过二十分钟，钟就该敲十二下了。 十五分钟过去了，可到了十一点五十五分，钟却停了。大分针一动不动。我们等了又等，还是什么也没发生。 突然，有人喊道：“已经十二点零二分了！钟停了！” 我看了看手表，果然如此。这座大钟竟然不肯迎接新年。 就在这时，大家都笑起来，唱起了歌。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《冷清迎新年》：等候午夜钟声 → 钟停在午夜前 → 有人发现不对 → 核对真实时间 → 笑着迎接新年。再借一个结构讲自己的事：选出文中的两个动作，哪个先发生？再用自己的经历写一对。
