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。

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.

One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “ I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “ it’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walked onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forget the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.

Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “ Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward! ” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.

“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you.” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.

Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “it doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you. ”

【解析】

本篇书面表达属于读后续写。要求考生阅读所给情节后续写两段内容，每段第一句都已给出。

通过阅读所给文章可知，Emily唱歌很好听，但是她没有勇气在人前唱歌。一年夏天，Emily在朋友Lucy的邀请和妈妈的鼓励下，参加了一个歌唱比赛。由于太紧张，歌唱声音很小，甚至忘记了歌词。淘气的男孩们嘲笑她是胆小鬼。Emily哭着跑回了家。妈妈知道后，鼓励她要克服不敢在人前歌唱的问题，并相信她一定会有收获。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Emily认真地听妈妈讲话，并听从了妈妈的建议。那么接下来应该接着写：第二天Emily就开始在外面练习唱歌。慢慢地，她开始变得勇敢，唱歌的声音也变大了。后来，当她练习的时候，碰见嘲笑她的男孩再次嘲笑她，她也不理睬。第二段开头是：她继续歌唱着，她走进了公园，这里有很多人在唱歌、跳舞。接下来应该接着写：公园的人都被Emily美妙的声音吸引了并为她鼓掌，这时Emily感觉到自己可以在陌生人面前勇敢地唱歌了。第二年，Emily再一次参加了那个歌唱比赛，所有人都为她的表演欢呼。Emily的妈妈很高兴看到女儿如今变得这么勇敢。
