Language Points
1. At this moment, in different places of the world people are doing different things.
at this moment意思是“现在，此刻”。
常与一般现在时连用, 也可写作at the moment, 近义词为now。

3. They’re waiting for buses and running for trains.
wait 的意思是 “等待，等候”，是不及物动词。当其后面跟宾语时，一定要加介词for。 wait for后面可直接加名词作宾语: wait for sb./sth.，意思为“等某人/物”；也可跟复合宾语: wait for sb. to do sth.，意思是“等某人做某事”。
Hurry up! Everyone is waiting!
I’m waiting for your letter.
Tom is waiting for his sister to bring him some milk.
4. Most people are sleeping.
most adj. 大部分(的) ；大多数(的)。most 后可加可数名词复数或不可数名词, 后面的谓语动词单复数要根据most 修饰的名词而定。
