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。

Gold and brown leaves crunched (嘎吱响) under Dora’s boots as she made her way down the sidewalk. She couldn’t wait to be home. The autumn cold wind was bad, but it was not nearly as hard to bear as the cold she felt in her heart.

She couldn’t forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today. Mr. Roberts divided the class into groups to do presentations. Each person in the group would speak for five minutes in front of the class. Today was Dora’s turn. Her legs trembled all the way to the front of the classroom. Her hands shook so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. As Dora spoke, her voice became softer. Mr. Roberts kindly ended Dora’s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He also asked Dora to stay for a moment after class.

“Dora, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Mr. Roberts suggested, “If I give you another chance tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage?”

Dora nodded. She went as quickly as she could to her next class. She kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.

Arriving home, she found Mom baking in the kitchen. When Mom baked, Dora always watched and chatted with her. Mom always said it was Dora’s company that made her baked goods taste so sweet. Mom studied Dora’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Dora?”

Tears shone in Dora’s eyes. She told the whole story. Mom was silent for a moment. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your classmates?” Mom asked, sliding the round cake pans into the oven. She set the timer and then said, “Let me show you something.”

Answer

Paragraph1:

Dora followed Mom to her room. There was a box at the foot of the bed. “I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy because I was a very timid girl. But I worked hard, and mostly I overcame my fears. You just need to find your courage.” At that time, Dora seemed to know what she should do tomorrow.

Paragraph 2:

The next day Dora again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. Dora had borrowed Mom’s blue ribbon for encouragement and folded it into her front pocket to take with her. As Dora faced the class, preparing to speak, she thought of the supportive words Mom said. Dora took a deep breath and began her presentation with confidence. Today she found her courage successfully.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写作文。

通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要记叙了Dora在课上因为不敢发言，在全班同学面前呆若木鸡而感到难过。Dora伤心地回到家里，妈妈用自己的经历给Dora鼓励的故事。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Dora跟着妈妈来到她的房间。故后文应当描写他们进了房间后的事情，妈妈告诉Dora努力工作来克服自己的恐惧。第二段开头是：第二天，Dora又走到教室前面做报告。故后文应当描写经过妈妈鼓励后Dora在课上的表现，她用妈妈的蓝丝带给自己打气，成功地找到了勇气。

续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
