Answer 2

Last year I provided first aid for the first time when I was in Saratov to visit a friend of mine. We were sitting in Ivan's garden when we suddenly heard a squeal of tires and a bang. Then there were a lot of shouts and cries. I immediately knew what was going on. I rushed through the car. Some neighbors or passers-by were helping her, so I opened the other door and carefully dragged the driver out of the car and put him in a side position.

In this passage, both the simple past and past continuous tenses are used. The simple past is used to describe completed actions, while the past continuous is used to describe actions that were ongoing at a specific point in the past.
