On this day, Dr Martin Luther King was killed in the city of Memphis in America. Although some people may not remember who murdered him, they remember what they were doing when they heard about the event.modern 现代的；现代化的kill 杀死；致死1 The writer will give some important events for example.T Even the most everyday activities can seem important.

He was just a school student at that time, but he remembers what he was doing when he heard the news. “It was a bright, sunny day.” Robert remembers. “We were having fun in the playground when the bell rang. Our teacher asked us to stop what we were doing and listen. He told us the news: “Dr Martin Luther King died just 10 minutes ago! We couldnt believe it!” School closed for the day, and Robert and his friends walked home together in silence.bright 明亮的；发亮的playground 运动场；操场silence 寂静；沉默 in silence 静静地2.
