When I was young, I always knew my parents had trouble with money. We would go to yard sales all the time, buy everyday supplies at Dollarama and work and eat at a soup kitchen four nights a week.

Then, a new man walked into the soup kitchen and asked me what my name was. As I told him that my name was Angela, my mom handed me the soup spoon and hair net(发网) to start getting to work. After that, I couldn’t find the strange man again. I searched everywhere for him and even asked the other men and women in the kitchen if they had seen him. My mom thought I was going crazy, saying that there was no one with me when she came to hand me my stuff. She said I had been sitting alone and that it seemed I was talking to myself.

Later that night in the car, my mom was crying. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that the rent on our apartment had gone up and that my grandma had died. She didn’t know how she was going to pay for the funeral and the rent. I guaranteed that I would help pick up the odds and ends(杂事) before she made as much as possible.

The moment we got into the apartment building, she asked me to run to the mail room and grab the mail. I went and the only thing I could find was one single envelope. A familiar man called me back saying he thought I left something in our mailbox. I reached in and pulled out a huge envelope but I couldn’t tell what was in it.

I brought the envelopes up to my mom. She opened the first one and found our first super expensive rent bill. She then walked into her room, saying she couldn’t handle to open the other one.

Paragraph 1：

I looked at the envelope and saw this: Dear Angela and Family. Love, Your Friend.

Answer

Paragraph 1：

I looked at the envelope and saw this: Dear Angela and Family. Love, Your Friend. I brought it to my mom with shaking hands and asked her to open it. She tore it open and looked inside, tears streaming down her face. She emptied the contents onto the bed. There before my eyes were countless checks addressed to my mom. I stood still, shocked and puzzled.

Paragraph 2：

I had a feeling all of a sudden that I knew who had sent it. Somehow I didn’t want to tell my morn, thinking that she wouldn’t believe me. Then an idea came to me. The next night, we went to eat at the soup kitchen, where the strange and familiar man just came into my sight. I told my mom that he was the very sender and man I had come across that night. Full of gratitude, my mom went up to him.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写作文。

通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要讲述了作者小时候家境贫穷而每周四去救济站充饥，一天一个陌生男子问了她的姓名，回家途中妈妈伤心地告诉她，奶奶过世了，房租又上涨了。进入公寓前，作者去收发室取了一个邮件，一个熟悉的声音告诉她邮箱里还有一样东西，于是她又取回一个信封并交给母亲。第一个信封里是租金账单，而第二个信封里却放着许多支票，母子感动地哭起来。只有作者知道救助他们的恩人是谁，第二天带着妈妈去感谢这个男人。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我看了看信封，上面写着：亲爱的Angela和家人。爱你的朋友。所以后文应该是讲述作者打开信封后的事情，信封里是寄给作者母亲的支票，作者对此感到震惊和困惑；第二段开头是：我突然有一种感觉，我知道是谁寄的了。本段应该写作者带着妈妈去找到那个寄信的人，想要感谢他的事情。

最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
