英语作文读后续写写作指导
一、续写原题
Old Man Donovan was a mean man who hated children. He threw
rocks at them and even shot at them with a shotgun. At least that's
what we had heard.
His small farm bordered our neighborhood where my younger
sister, Leigh Ann, and I lived when we were growing up. His farm
was long, narrow, and quaint. It held two treasures. One was his
beautiful fruit.
There were many varieties of fruit: pears, apples, and lots
more I just can't think of. The fruit naturally drew the children
to his land. It made them into thieves. But my sister and
I didn't dare to take his fruit because of the horrible rumors
we had heard about Old Man Donovan.
One summer day, we were playing in a nearby field. It was
time to head back home. My sister and I were feeling very daring
that day. There was a short cut to our house that went through the
Donovan farm. We thought he wouldn't be able to see us run across
his property around the luscious fruittrees. We were almost through the farm when we heard, "Hey, girl!" in a gruff, low voice.
We stopped dead in our tracks! There we were, face to face with
Old Man Donovan. Our knees were shaking. We had visions of rocks
pounding our bodies and bullets piercing our hearts.
"Come here," he said, reaching up to one of his apple trees.
Still shaking, we went over to him. He held out several ripe, juicy,
red apples. "Take these home," he commanded. We took the apples
with surprised hearts and ran all the way home. Of course, Leigh
Ann and I ate the apples.
As time went on, we often went through Old Man Donovan's farm,
and he kept on giving us more luscious fruit. One day, we stopped
by to see him when he was on his front porch. We talked to him for
hours. While he was talking, we realized that we had found the
other hidden treasure: the sweet, kind heart hidden behind
his gruff voice. Soon, he was one of our favorite people to talk
to. Unfortunately, his family never seemed to enjoy
our company. They never smiled or welcomed us in.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;2. 应使 5 个以上短文中标有下
划线的关键词语;3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;4.
续写完成后, 请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1: Every summer, we would visit Mr. Donovan and
talk to him.
Paragraph 2: The next winter, word got around that Old Man
Donovan had died.
二、下水思路
1. 确定主题:大主题是人与人的关系。故事告诉我们不要相信谣
传,不要以貌取人。故事中 Old Man Donovan 是一个外表可怕,其实是一
个心地善良的老人。短文结构清晰,以农场中有 two treasures 为线索,
原文描写了第一个 treasure--his beautiful fruit, 第二个看不见的
treasure,就是老人善良的内心,这是续写的重点描写内容。
2. 时空变化: 要特别注意第二句句首提示语的时间 The next
winter,...这就意味着第一段必须提到某一个夏天,而不是 every
summer。所以,第一段应该有两个时间,第一个是每年夏天做了什么,
第二个时间应该是某一个夏天发生的事。在这一点上估计会出现离题。
3. 续写难点:第一是主题难以把握,估计都会提到 a kind heart,
但是最好在结尾处有不能以貌取人的感悟。第二是时间空间的转换,尤
其是对 the next winter 的理解,容易跑题。第三原文中提到老人的家人
对他们不友好,在续写部分应该有相关的交代(his family never
seemed to enjoy our company. They never smiled or welcomed us in)。
第四原文情节相对曲折,多叙述少细节描写。三、下水续写
