Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫(xiě)，使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的故事。

A knock at the front door announced a visitor. Phil Radcliffe opened the door, looked down, and found a small boy of about 10, head down and face hidden, nose sniffling(抽鼻子), obviously in some unhappiness.

Phil and his wife Molly lived in this neighbourhood for almost three decades. The families here all knew and trusted one another. Youngsters bounced from home to home looking for friends and entertainment. In the school holidays, Molly and Phil had been known to take children at a time to the local cinema to give some of the parents a break.

Having taken him to the living room and had him seated, Phil asked the boy, “Philip, what’s happened?”

The boy seemed genuinely upset by the inquiry. “Sorry, Mr. Radcliffe,” he sobbed, “My dad’s just left home. He’s not going to live with us anymore. Mum’s crying. It’s made me cry. I don’t think I’m going to see him again.”

Phil sat down next to him and put a comforting arm around his shoulders, trying to reassure the youngster, “I’m sure that you’ll see your father again very soon, Philip. You’re a lovely boy and he’ll want to see you a lot. And your teachers will understand if sometimes you’re a bit sad.”

The boy wiped away his tears with the back of a hand.

“Let me get something for us,” Phil suggested. He went into the kitchen, and then returned with an orange juice for the boy, a coffee for himself and a selection of biscuits for them. However upset he might have been, young Philip was obviously happy with the drink and concentrated on the chocolate samples among the biscuits.

Once the boy seemed more settled, Phil proposed, “Perhaps you should call your mum and tell her where you are, so that she doesn’t worry.”

“It’s OK, Mr. Radcliffe,” he insisted. “I’ll go home in a few minutes. But I like talking to you.”

“You can stay as long as you want, Philip. I just don’t want your mother to think that she’s lost you.”

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1:

The response surprised and troubled Philip. He asked Phil if he would lose her one day. He was worried about she would die and he would be without her. Phil comforted him, “Philip, please don’t worry about your mother. She’s still young and she’ll be with you. Of course, one day, she will die—but we all die. When that happens, you’ll be a different person, an older person. It will be hard but you’ll manage it successfully—believe me.”

Paragraph 2:

On the doorstep, young Philip looked up at his friendly neighbour. “Thank you very much, Mr. Radcliffe. I feel a bit better now. Can I call again sometime?” “Of course,” Phil promised. “Come and talk whenever you like. Molly and I love seeing you and your friends.” The boy then said very quietly, “But you might be out. Or you might move away.” Phil cast a kind look at the boy, placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, and assured him, “Don’t worry. Whenever you want me, I’ll be there. Whatever happens, I promise you that I’ll be your friend as long as you trust me.”

【解析】

這是一篇讀后續(xù)寫(xiě)作文。文章主要講述了10歲的小男孩Philip的爸爸離開(kāi)了他和媽媽?zhuān)瑸榇怂�和媽媽都非常傷心，他到鄰居家登門(mén)請(qǐng)求Phil給他排憂(yōu)解難。

從原文可以看出，Phil 是一個(gè)熱心的人，Philip登門(mén)請(qǐng)求他給自己排憂(yōu)解難。由此可知續(xù)寫(xiě)部分的內(nèi)容也與Philip的心事和Phil對(duì)他的幫助有關(guān)。結(jié)合續(xù)寫(xiě)的兩個(gè)段首句，可知第一段主要內(nèi)容是Philip擔(dān)心媽媽有一天也會(huì)離開(kāi)他以及Phil如何幫助開(kāi)導(dǎo)安慰他；第二段應(yīng)該寫(xiě)Philip如何表達(dá)他的感激之情以及Phil如何回應(yīng)。續(xù)寫(xiě)也可以寫(xiě)其他合理的情節(jié)，但注意一定要與文章主題有關(guān)聯(lián)。兩個(gè)段首句線(xiàn)索：

1. Which words might trouble Philip? How would Phil comfort him?

2. How did the boy feel? And what would he like to say to Phil?
