Question

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。

In my culture, it 's not accepted or normal to go against my parents' wishes. I belong to a small and native community in the Oaxaca region of southern Mexico. We' ve lived here for centuries, and my family has been growing cotton for as long as anyone can remember.

When I was small, I had a lot of work to do. My father was sick and we were poor, so my sister and I would get up very earlier every morning to prepare food for the whole family. After school we would run home quickly to help do housework. On weekends, I would go to the village market to sell our cotton. Every time I sold something, it was good news for the whole family.

When I became a teenager, I wanted to study to become a secretary. By Working in an office I would be able to earn more money, which would be good for my family. I knew I was smart and that I would do a good job, but my parents refused to let me study. I listened to them and followed their advice in order not to make them unhappy.

Years later, some students from California came to our village. They were organizing an educational workshop for local people. We would learn new things and technology about growing cotton, and have the chance to network. This was a good chance for me to learn something new and useful. Of course I was willing to take part in it, but my parents said no again this time.

I have wonderful and generous parents, who are kind to everybody around them. Even when our family could hardly afford food, they would welcome guests with coffee and cookies. I knew they refused me because they wanted the best for me. I knew they were worried about me being away from them, but I knew they were wrong. Attending this workshop would be good for our family. I would be able to learn something new and useful, and our business would grow much faster than it could.

Answer

Therefore, I put my foot down and decided to go. Though my parents didn't allow me to go, I knew that going against my parents was a way to meet their needs and my own. Not long after I took part in the workshop, I found that the workshop was really wonderful. I learned a lot in the workshop. I brought new techniques to my family and met many important people through the workshop. All these have helped our business and have made our business grow faster.

Now I no longer live together with my parents,but I work with them every day. Through my own experience, I have learned a very important lesson for me and for all the people on earth: I have learned to listen to myself and to do the things that are important to me. Listen to yourself and to your own heart,and you will reach your goal and realize your dream in the end.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者小时候觉得违背父母的意愿是不被接受的，也不正常的。小时候家境不好，作者帮助家里做家务卖棉花；十几岁时作者想学习成为一个秘书，但是父母拒绝让她学习；为了不让他们不高兴，作者听从了他们的建议；后来，在他们村有一个教育讲习班，学习关于种植棉花的新技术。作者想参加，父母再次拒绝了。但这次作者知道他们是错误的，因为她觉得参加这个讲习班对全家人、对自己都有好处。

续写部分分为两段。第1段开头是：我拿定主意，决定去讲习班。接下来应该写通过参加这个讲习班，作者学到了很多新技术，并认识了许多重要的人。这些对作者的业务都有很大的帮助。

第2段开头是：现在我不再和父母住在一起，但是我每天都和他们一起工作。接下来应该写通过自己的亲身经历，作者学到了非常重要的一课：要遵从自己的内心，去做对自己来说重要的事情，从而实现自己的梦想。

续写时要求使用5个给出短文中标有下划线的关键词语，增加了写作的难度。阅读文章时，要熟悉有下划线的词语，以便在写作的时候恰当地加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应是150左右。续写完成后，需要用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语，按要求完成写作任务。
