【语法讲解】
现在完成时（III）
（1） 非延续性动词也称为短暂性动词或瞬息动词，这类动词所表示的动作往往在“瞬间”就完成了，动作不能“持续”，可以用于完成时态，但在完成时态的句子中不能与表示一段时间的状语连用，如：since two days ago， for two years等。如果要表示该动作的延续，就需要将其转换为延续性动词或表示状态的词。
The film started two hours ago. 电影是两个小时前开始的。（正确）
→The film has been on for two hours. 电影已经开始两个小时了。（正确）
The film has started. 电影已经开始了。 （正确）
The film has started for two hours. 电影已经开始两个小时了。（错误）
常见的非延续性动词有：die， buy， borrow， lend， come， go， arrive， stop， finish， leave， open， close， begin， start， see， marry， join， hear等。
（2） 延续性动词，是指动作可以延续的动词，可以跟表示持续一段时间的时间状语连用。
常用的延续性动词有：keep， have， last， run， eat， drink， sing， sleep， sit， teach， live， stay等。
I have kept the book for two days. 这本书我已经借了两天了。
He will stay here for a week. 他要在这里待一周。
（3） 非延续性动词所表示的动作不能持续，若要跟for或since等表示一段时间的状语，则该非延续性动词要用延续性动词或表示状态的词来替换。
Jim left his hometown last year. 吉姆去年离开了家乡。
=Jim has been away from his hometown for a year. 吉姆离开家乡一年了。
常见的非延续性动词和对应的延续性动词或表示状态的词：
非延续性动词 延续性动词/表示状态的词
die → be dead
borrow → keep
buy/catch → have
get up → be up
come/arrive/go → be in/at
finish/stop → be over
leave → be away （from）
open → be open
close → be closed
begin/start → be on
marry → be married
join → be in/ be a member of
（4） 非延续性动词的现在完成时的否定式可以和表示一段时间的时间状语连用，因为非延续性动词的这种否定形式构成一种状态，而这一状态是可以持续的。
例如：He hasn’t bought any sweets for a year. 他已经有一年没有买糖果了。
I haven’t seen Mr. Zhang for ages. 我好几年没有看到张先生了。

One possible version:
It was fine yesterday. Sanyi Community had a yard sale. More than 200 people took part in the activity. Some people sold used things such as bikes， toys and clothes. Some sold cards made by themselves. Others exchanged used books. I went there at close to 3:00 p.m. I bought a used bike at a very good price. Everyone was satisfied with what they bought and had a lot of fun.
In my opinion， it was a very good activity. We can not only make good use of used things， but also protect our environment in this way.
