读后续写:阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
A few weeks before Thanksgiving one year, my husband and I decided to invite a guest over for the holiday. I called a senior center and they suggested Ilse. She was a stubborn 78- year-old lady, who favored sequined(亮片的)T-shirts.
On Thanksgiving, within minute of arriving, Ilse welcomed the glass of wine my husband offered with a wide smile. By the end of the evening, we felt as if we were old friends. The more time I spent with Ilse, the more she became like a surrogate (替代的)grandma. So when her only son Ralph died, I realized she was too upset to be left alone and helped her hire a caregiver. For me, she was like a family and I was the only one left in her tribe.
Each time I stopped by her apartment, Ilse seemed more disconnected than the time before. Late one afternoon, when I called her, I was unable to understand what she was saying. I drove her to the emergency room, where the doctor confirmed she had suffered a mild stroke. During the next few days, I dropped by her apartment, but she was no longer the energetic, stubborn Ilse I knew. At the end of the week, I received an early-morning phone call from her caregiver. " Please come over now," the woman said, her voice matter-of- fact. "She's passed away. ” When I arrived, I saw Ilse lying on her bed, motionless, her eyes closed. I sat on the edge of the bed, too shocked to cry.

范文Paragraph 1
She had left me a large sum of money. I didn’t remember her saying anything about it. If she had, I would have insisted she donate the money to charity or give it to a friend she had known longer. I couldn’t accept the money because Ilse was a friend and I’d helped her out of loyalty and respect, not with the expectation of being paid.
Paragraph 2
Various families and charities benefited from her donations. Some families received funds to send their grade-schoolers to summer camp. Through the local food program, her donation provided children with food to take home with them. My placing a phone call to the senior center and meeting Ilse had definitely made my life richer. I took a chance on humanity, and Ilse’s friendship was the jackpot.
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。所给文章为记叙文,作者和丈夫给老年中心打电话邀请一位老人共度感恩节。有了认识Ilse的机会,从此开始他们之间的交往和关爱,作者关心Ilse,最后Ilse去世了。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知, 作者和丈夫给老年中心打电话邀请一位老人共度感恩节。有了认识Ilse的机会,从此开始他们之间的交往和关爱,作者关心Ilse,最后Ilse去世了。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:Ilse去世的那个早晨我读完了她的遗嘱,在里面看到了我的名字。所以这一段应该写遗嘱的内容,作者看到遗嘱内容后的想法。第二段开头是:我把钱捐给了她深爱的事业——孩子。本段应该写由于这次的捐助,很多孩子和家庭而受益。最后升华主题:让爱传递,这是人性美的传递,是对我们的最高奖赏。第一段是完整故事情节,第二段是点明主旨。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线关键词语增加了写作难度,我们要熟悉所给划线词语,恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右;续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文记叙详略得当,完成了试题规定的任务。使用了高级词汇,如, a large sum of money; out of loyalty and respect ;expectation ; benefit from ;placing a phone call ; definitely ;humanity; jackpot。应用了很多的语法结构:状语从句和定语从句:If she had, I would have insisted she donate the money to charity or give it to a friend she had known longer.非谓语动词:My placing a phone call to the senior center and meeting Ilse had definitely made my life richer.文章中介词短语not with the expectation of being paid和Through the local food program的使用让句型结构有了变化。最后jackpot这一词汇是一大亮点,烘托了主题,完全达到了预期的写作目的。
