Love makes the world go around and a mother’s love never changes

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. It’s hard to imagine that the other woman was my mother, who has been living alone for 19 years, but I am too busy to visit her often. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.

“What’s wrong? Are you well?” she asked. My mother always doubts that a late night call is a sign of bad news.

“It would be pleasant to spend some time with you,” I responded.

As I drove over to pick her up, I noticed that she seemed to be nervous about our date. But she smiled from a face that was as beautiful as an angel’s. “I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,” she said.

We went to a restaurant that was very nice and comfortable. My mother look my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. I saw mom sitting there looking at me with a smile on her lips.

“I used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said. “Then it’s time to let me return the favor,” I responded.

During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing special but catching up on recent events. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.

Answer

Paragraph 1:

When I got home, my wife shared her story about her mom who passed away years ago. She said when she was young, she was very naughty, and her mother often punished her for her wrong deeds. Later when she grew up she became aware of her mother’s love. But her mother died of lung cancer and she never had a chance to show her gratitude. At that moment I realize the importance of saying “love” to our beloved ones in time.

Paragraph 2:

Several days later, I received my mothers invitation. We went out for a movie. You can’t imagine how happy we were that day. We discussed the movie, laughed and even planned the next date. On the way home, I held my mother’s hand and said to her gently, “Nothing is more valuable than the love of you in the world. Believe me, your dear son will return the favour. Mom, I love you.” We looked at each other with tears rolling down.

【解析】

本文是一篇读后续写。作者意识到及时对我们所爱的人说“爱”的重要性。

根据第一段开头，When I got home, my wife shared her story about her mom who passed away years ago.“当我回到家，我的妻子分享了她的故事，她的母亲去世了几年前。”这是故事的展开。无论从何角度拓展，都要与续写第二段的首句呼应。接下来应该是妻子回忆年轻时候的不懂事，以及妈妈死后所带来的遗憾。最后应是作者意识到及时对我们所爱的人说“爱”的重要性。

根据续写第二段开头Several days later, I received my mother’s invitation.“几天后，我收到了母亲的邀请。”接下来应是如何和妈妈在一起，如何向妈妈表达对妈妈的爱入手。
