Learning to learn
Pronouns such as “it”, “this”, “that”, “these” and “those” are used to make connections between parts of a text. These pronouns may refer to a word, a phrase or a sentence, or even several words, phrases or sentences. They can refer back to previous information or forward to new information.
1. It was then that I realised her seat was empty!
该句为强调句，强调的是时间状语then，正常的句序为：I realised her seat was empty then.
【归纳拓展】
（1）强调句型可以强调的句子成分通常为主语、宾语、时间状语、地点状语等，一般不强调谓语动词、表语、让步状语等。当强调的是主语时，其谓语动词应和被强调的人和物保持人称、数的一致。
（2）强调句型的判断：将强调句结构中的It is / was... that / who...去掉，如果句子所剩下的部分不缺少任何成分，仍是一个完整的句子，这个句子就是强调句，否则就是其他从句。
直到那时我才意识到她的座位是空的。
Language point
（3）强调句型基本结构：
陈述句式：It is / was +被强调部分+that （强调对象为物）/ who （强调对象为人）+其他成分。
一般疑问句式：Is / Was it+被强调部分+that / who+其他成分？
特殊疑问句式：特殊疑问词+is / was it+ that+其他成分？
（4）含有not... until...的句式：It is / was not until+强调部分+that+非强调部分。

3.When do we put the -ing form before the noun it modifies and when do we put it after
If we use one single -ing form to modify a noun, we usually put it before the noun. If the -ing form plus other words is used to modify a noun, it is usually put after the noun.

a ... there were over 200,000 people reading my blog!
c ... there were over 200,000 people who read my blog!

d I love to photograph the sun that is rising, ...
4.What is the difference between the two groups of sentences
The first group uses the -ing form as attributive while the second group uses attributive clauses.
5.Why does the author choose to use sentences (a) and (b) in the reading passage
Because the sentences using the -ing form as attributive are more concise and colloquial.
Activity 3: Look for more sentences with this structure in the interview.
