Level 3: Reading Continued

By Juan Molina

I was the janitor for the offices of Local 1877 in Oakland. I was

getting toilet paper for the bathrooms in another room when I heard a

loud crash. I thought it was a lamp breaking. I ran into the room and

saw broken glass. There was a man who was using a big rock to break

the window. I think he wanted to steal the computer.

I called 911 and the police came. One of them spoke Spanish, but

not well. I called Patty, the office manager, and she spoke to the

police too. We called the owner of the building, but he never came.

We had to leave the window broken, with just cardboard to cover it.

You get scared when something like that happens. You dont know

what to do. It was ugly. Now I always try to come early and work

fast. That way I can finish before it gets dark.

Theres a lot of crime in this area. And the organizers work very

late. I think thats one reason the union is moving its offices.

Unfortunately, when they leave the owner will probably hire a non-

union company. Im going to lose my shift here. Luckily, I still have

another job during the day.

the situation using the ingform of the verb.

I was getting toilet paper for the bathrooms in another room when I heard a loud

crash.

Context = Juan was getting toilet paper

Fill in the following sentences with the ingform of the verb in the past. Make sure you

use was!

Example: I was cleaning the windows when I saw a suspicious man.

1. I __________________ (take) out the garbage in the computer lab when I

noticed a computer was missing.

2. I __________________ (vacuum) in the lobby and I saw someone trying to

break-in to my friends car.

3.

Manuela __________________ (wash) the windows on a ladder when she fell and

broke her leg.

When we use the ing form for we, you or they, instead of was, we use were. Fill in

the following sentences with the ing form. Be careful with was and were!

Example: We were driving to work when we got in a crash.

1. We __________________ (have) a safety meeting when there was a fire alarm.

2. You __________________ (dust) the computers in the computer lab when you
