In the summer of 1797 Coleridge was travelling alone around southwest England. One evening, he decided to spend the night in a lonely farmhouse. He wasn’t feeling very well and took some strong medicine. While he was sleeping, he had an amazing poetic vision. When he woke up, he found that he could still remember his fantastic dream. Coleridge took a pen and some paper and began to write.
Past Continuous is used for an action in progress at a certain moment in the past, and Past Simple is used for finished actions in sequence.

One day, when I was coming home from school, something amazing happened to me. I was walking along the street and listening to music when I suddenly saw my favourite singer near a café. At first I couldn’t believe my eyes. Then I stopped and looked at him again. He smiled at me and said hello. After that I asked for a photo, and he agreed. Finally, I went home very happy because it was the most unforgettable day of my life.
