As I walked home one freezing day, I saw a wallet with a red lacing on the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find something about the owner’s identity. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a letter that looked as if it had been there for many years.

The envelope was so worn that I could read only the return address on it. I opened the letter, hoping to find some clues. I found the letter was written almost 60 years ago. It was written in a beautiful handwriting with a little flower in the left-hand corner. It was to a man named Michael Goldstein, saying that the writer couldn’t see him any more because her mother didn’t allow it. Even so, she wrote that she would always love him.

It was signed, Hannah. I felt sad because I couldn’t get useful information. After searching for the return address on the envelope, I finally found that Hannah was now in a nursing home.

I drove over to the nursing home. A nurse and a guard greeted me at the door. Knowing my purpose, the nurse led me to the third floor. In the day room, she introduced me to Hannah.

She was a sweet, silver-haired old lady. I told her about the wallet and showed her the letter. The second she saw the envelope with that little flower, she took a dep breath and said, “Young man, this letter was the last contact I had with Michael. He was so handsome. He looked like Sean Connery, the actor. I loved him very much. But I was only 16then.My mother felt I was too young. If you can find him, tell him I think of him often. And… I still love him.”

I said goodbye to her and took the elevator to the first floor. As I stood by the door, the guard asked me if I got any clue from Hannah. I told him she gave me a story.

Paragraph1：

I took out the wallet, but when the guard saw it, he said, “Hey, wait a minute! That’s Mr. Goldstein’s wallet.”

Answer

Paragraph1：

I took out the wallet, but when the guard saw it, he said, “Hey, wait a minute! That’s Mr. Goldstein’s wallet.” He continued, “I remember that bright red lacing. He’s always losing that wallet. I found it in the hall at least three times.” “Who’s Mr. Goldstein? ”I asked as my hand began to shake. “He’s an old man on the 8th floor. That’s Michael Goldstein’s wallet for sure. He must have lost it somewhere.” he replied. I thanked the guard and quickly ran to the elevator and got on.

Paragraph 2:

On the eighth floor, I saw a man reading a book in the day room, who happened to be Mr. Goldstein. It was his wallet. When I told him I knew where Hannah was, he suddenly grew pale. “Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? Please tell me,” he begged. We took the elevator down to the third floor. Raising her head, Hannah looked at Michael for a moment, but didn’t say a word. Michael walked slowly towards her and they hugged each other tightly. Without disturbing them, I left with tears in my eyes.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写作文。

通过阅读所给文章可知，上文主要讲述了作者捡到了一个钱包，皮夹里只有3美元和一封信，这封信看起来好像放在那里很多年了。信是一个名叫汉娜的人写的，作者通过查看信封上的回信地址，找到了汉娜所在的疗养院。汉娜是一位和蔼可亲、满头银发的老太太。作者告诉她钱包的事，并把信给她看。汉娜于是给作者讲了自己和爱人迈克尔的故事。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我拿出了钱包，但是警卫看到了，他说:“嗨，等一下!那是戈尔茨坦先生的钱包。”所以后文应该是讲述门卫认识戈尔茨坦先生，知道他住在八楼，作者于是迅速跑到了电梯上。第二段开头是：在八楼，我看到一个人在客厅里看书，他碰巧是戈尔茨坦先生。本段应该写作者告诉他自己知道汉娜在哪儿，最后汉娜和迈克尔重新相逢的经过。

最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
