《哈利波特》原文节选：

The problem was, strange things often happened around Harry and it was just no good telling the Dursleys he didn’t make them happen. 

Once, Aunt Petunia, tired of （厌倦）Harry coming back from the barbers （理发店）looking as though he hadn’t been at all, had taken a pair of kitchen scissors （厨房用剪刀）and cut his hair so short he was almost bald （秃的）except for his bangs（留海）, which she left “to hide that horrible scar.” Dudley had laughed himself silly at Harry, who spent a sleepless （无眠的）night imagining school the next day, where he was already laughed at （嘲笑）for his baggy （宽大的，宽松的）clothes and taped （用胶带缠住的）glasses. Next morning, however, he had gotten up to find his hair exactly as it had been before Aunt Petunia had sheared it off（剪掉）. He had been given a week in his cupboard （橱柜）for this, even though he had tried to explain that he couldn’t explain how it had grown back so quickly. 

必备用法：

be tired of: 厌倦…

例句：She has been tired of her work for a long time. 她早已厌倦她的工作了。

barber: 理发师、理发店（也可以说barber shop）

例句：John’s little brother had been an apprentice for 5 years and eventually opened his own barber shop last year. John的弟弟足足做了5年的学徒，终于在去年的时候开了自己的理发店。

a pair of kitchen scissors：一把厨房用的剪刀

例句：I will have a BBQ party at home next month so I really need to buy some plates, knives, forks and a pair of kitchen scissors. 我下个月要在家里开烧烤派对，我真的要去买些盘子、刀叉和一把厨房用剪刀。

laugh at sb：嘲笑某人

如何描述过去的经历？

两个时态是必备

第一个是一般过去时

例如

She went to school in a small village. 

“她在一个小村子上学。”

另一个必备时态是过去完成时

也就是had+过去分词的形式

He had learned piano for 5 years when he went to high school.

“在他上中学之前，他已经学习五年钢琴了。”

过去完成时表达的是“过去的过去”

过去完成时经常和一般过去时套在一起使用

只要大家搞清楚时态的关系

就可以轻松叙述一件过去发生的事情了。
