A gift of gold

It was the winter of 1937, just after Christmas. The Depression was still going on, but I was in good spirits. I was going to graduate from elementary school, but my mother still dressed me in shorts. Most of my classmates had given up wearing shorts. For the graduation ceremony, all the boys were expected to wear white shirts and dark blue wool pants.

I waited until a week before I told my mother. On a cold Monday afternoon I went home from school.

“Mom,” I said, “about graduation...”

“Yes?” she answered.

“They are going to give me the first-prize medal,” I said.

Still working over the stove, she looked over her shoulder at me and smiled broadly. “That’s wonderful, Babe. Dad and I will be both there, and we’ll be the proudest.”

She must have seen by the look on my face that something was wrong. She turned her back and said, “So?”

“So, I have to get long pants,” I said.

“Babe, we don’t have money for new pants right now,” she said.

“Okay,” I burst out.“Then I won’t go to graduation. Plus, I’m running away from home!”

“If I were you, I wouldn’t pack my bags. We’ll solve the problem of pants somehow,” she said.

The following Saturday, when my mother said “Let’s go shopping”, I knew that she had solved the problem. Then we left home. We took the trolley (有軌電車) and got off at Southern Boulevard, the best shopping street. The clothing store was just a couple of blocks away.

But first we walked a short way down the Boulevard and stopped at a place I had never noticed before.

“Wait here,” she said. Then she entered a storefront that looked like a bank and opened the door with the hand with a gold wedding ring on her ring finger.

She went out about ten minutes later with a purse in her left hand, and then we went to the pants store. I chose a pair of pants. After a patient bargain with the seller, my mother bought it at the price of three dollars and fifty cents and handed it to me.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1:

I was holding the pants tightly under my arm when my mother went to pay the money. As soon as I turned around, I saw her take a sum of money out of her pure in her left hand. I didn’t know where my mom got all this money from. Finally she handed this money for the pants to the seller, who immediately gave my mother the fifty cents change. Mom smiled at me and said, “Let’s go back, honey.”

Paragraph 2

We took the trolley back home. And the trolley was crowded with many people, so my mother and I were standing together all the time. However, I even imagined walking up to the stage in my new pants to receive my medal, and I couldn’t help laughing. When we got home, my mother took out the key and wanted to open the door. And at that moment, I noticed that the gold wedding ring on her ring finger my mother had always worn was missing. Perhaps it was mother who sold it, and I felt sad, lost in thought.

【解析】

本篇書面表達(dá)是讀后續(xù)寫

通過閱讀所給文章可知，1937年的冬天，作者即將參加小學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮，他告訴母親他需要一條褲子參加畢業(yè)典禮，但當(dāng)時(shí)作者的家里買不起一條新褲子。作者的母親告訴作者會(huì)想辦法解決。有一天，作者和母親坐有軌電車來到了商業(yè)街，作者的母親先進(jìn)入了一家看起來像銀行的店鋪，之后花了三美元五十美分給作者買了一條褲子。

續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，第一段開頭是：當(dāng)我媽媽去付錢的時(shí)候，我把褲子緊緊地抱在懷里。所以應(yīng)該寫我抱著新褲子，看著母親去付錢，當(dāng)我看到母親拿出錢的時(shí)候，我心中疑惑：母親的錢是從哪來的。最后母親付完款喊我回家。第二段開頭是：我們乘坐電車回家了。本段應(yīng)該寫我和母親在擁擠的電車上，但我卻想到我穿著新褲子去領(lǐng)獎(jiǎng)，這讓我忍不住笑出聲來。當(dāng)我們到家，母親去開門的時(shí)候，我注意到一直戴在母親手上的金戒指不見了。我猜到母親把它賣了，我感到很難過并陷入了沉思。

續(xù)寫時(shí)要求至少使用5個(gè)短文中標(biāo)有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語增加了寫作難度，我們要熟悉所給劃線詞語，恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候加以運(yùn)用。最后還要注意所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；續(xù)寫完成后，請(qǐng)用下劃線標(biāo)出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語。按要求完成寫作任務(wù)。
