Mum and Her Bank Account

My family had the tradition to sit down by the kitchen table every Saturday night to count out the money Dad had brought home.

These are for the rent, and these for the groceries. “ Mum counted out and divided the big silver pieces.

I’ll need a notebook, “ That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me.

After Mum put one or two coins to the side for the notebook, she said that was all we needed to buy for the week and we all relaxed a little. We didn’t have to go downtown and draw money out of Mum’s bank account, which could always give us such a warm and secure feeling for having enough to afford the life.

When Nels graduated from grammar school , he needed some money for high school We sat by the table and I offered my “ Little Bank” which was used for sudden emergencies such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to see a doctor. I laid the box carefully in front of Mum. After counting out the money in the little bank and finding there was not enough, we all agreed not to go to the bank but to find some ways.

Nels volunteered to work in Dillon’s grocery after school and Dad said he would give up smoking. Now there was enough money. We felt relieved.

So many things came out of the little bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play, Nel’s operation ... Whatever happened , we always knew we still had the bank to depend on. We never used her bank account.

That was twenty years ago.

Last year, I sold my first story. When the money came I thought of Mum’s bank account.

Answer

So I hurried over to her home. On arriving, I gave the money to Mum and asked her to save it in the bank. Mum said she was very proud of me and asked me to go with her, because she didn’t know how. I asked how she had done that before. She said actually there was no bank account at all in all her life and she had never been to a bank before.

Knowing that there was no bank account at all, I felt shocked. I just didn’t know how to respond. Mum said seriously that it was not good for the kids to worry about life and she didn’t want us not to feel secure. My tears just burst and stories of these years jumped into my mind one by one...I got to feel how deep the love Mum had been giving us.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。文章讲述了作者妈妈的“银行账户”给作者一家人的生活带来安全感。

通过阅读所给文章可知，作者的妈妈告诉家人她在银行里有一个账户，急需用钱时可以去银行取，让孩子们不要为生活担心。而全家人在面对生活中钱不够用的情况时，并没有动用银行里的钱，而是齐心协力找到了解决的办法。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：所以我赶紧去了妈妈家。后文应该续写我去妈妈家做什么。通过文章内容可知，我赚到了一笔钱，想起了妈妈的银行账户，我应该是去把钱交给妈妈，让她存到银行账户里。第二段开头是：知道根本没有银行账户，我感到震惊。本段应该为什么妈妈明明没有银行账户，而她却说有呢？此处可以联系文章，妈妈应该是不想让家人为生活担心，才虚拟了一个银行账户，这是妈妈对家人爱的表现。
