【讀后續(xù)寫】
I am 25 years old and some memories about Dad’s remarkable quality are impressed on my mind.
It was on a Christmas Eve when I was five years old that my dad upon arriving home from work,informed my mom and me that he would be working the next day,Christmas Day.
“WHAT DADDY? WHY? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WORK ON CHRISTMAS DAY?”
My dad,who was the manager of his work station,calmly explained that yes,although he was not scheduled to work,he volunteered to do so.
My mom was visibly upset.“Ren,you work on Christmas day every year.Man,you are not making any Christmas memories with these kids.” The rest of the evening we were discouraged.My mom and I were both very upset with Daddy.
I awoke on Christmas morning to the sounds of Christmas songs on our huge radio that was stationed in the living room.Mom and Dad were joking about something or the other there.She had apparently forgiven him sometime over the course of the night.
It was Christmas Day! I ran straight for the living room to wish my mom,dad and brother the merriest Christmas ever!After we all greeted each other,we began our usual Christmas morning ritual(儀式):Dad read the Christmas story.After the Christmas story,it was time to dig into the presents under the tree.It was the pink kitchen set,complete with tiny plastic pots,pans,plates,cups and a whole stove in it.It was exactly what I wanted and I was thrilled.
After breakfast,my dad departed.
My mom started on Christmas Dinner.I wanted to help her,but I was too distracted(注意力分散 的)cooking my own imaginary meal on my new kitchen set.But soon I was bored with that and I joined my mother in the kitchen.“Mom,why does Daddy never get a turn to get a holiday on Christmas? I asked.Being best friends,sometimes my mom told me things she probably shouldn’t.However,my mom did not give me a satisfactory answer this time.
The rest of the day flew slowly without Dad.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I decided to ask Dad why he chose not to celebrate with us every year.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【命題意圖】高考英語真題中的讀后續(xù)寫多選自外刊,以記敘文或夾敘夾議文為主。本篇讀后續(xù)寫素材來源于《衛(wèi)報》2020 年12 月29 日的一篇文章。文章標題是The other side of Christmas,作者是Thamar Jones。本文是一篇記敘文,文章講述了作者的父親圣誕節(jié)不在家過節(jié)而是去工作的故事。旨在考查學生的閱讀理解能力、邏輯思維能力、想象力和語言表達能力,并培養(yǎng)學生的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)。
【寫作指導】
▲文章主線
已知線索:圣誕節(jié)前夕,父親說圣誕節(jié)要工作,家人聽到這個消息很不開心——圣誕節(jié)的早晨,“我”收到禮物很開心——早飯后,父親上班去了——母親在準備圣誕節(jié)晚餐,“我”百般無聊,想起父親……
▲可續(xù)寫線索
Para.1:根據(jù)續(xù)寫原文最后一段可知,作者無聊地走進廚房,向母親詢問父親圣誕節(jié)工作的原因,母親并沒有給出滿意的答案。根據(jù)續(xù)寫第一段首句可知,對“我”來說,接下來的這一天因為沒有父親的陪伴而過得很慢。所以,這一段應主要描述父親沒有參與當天的活動,“我”因為父親不在而抑郁寡歡,渴望知道父親不能在家陪伴“我們”過圣誕節(jié)的原因,和續(xù)寫第二段首句照應。
Para.2:根據(jù)原文可知,圣誕節(jié)人人都想在家慶祝,而父親每年都自愿在圣誕節(jié)這一天工作。同時,由“我”在圣誕節(jié)這一天收到自己想要的禮物可知,父親很重視這個節(jié)日。那為什么每年圣誕節(jié)父親都自愿去工作呢?結合原文第一段可知,父親的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)一直印在“我”的腦海里,所以這一段應主要描述父親替別人著想。
One possible version
The rest of the day flew slowly without Dad.During lunch when we carved the turkey,Dad wasn’t here;at night when my aunts and cousins stopped by,he wasn’t here;when we were enjoying the laughter,he completely missed it.Christmas Day came and gone and I felt pitiful for my dad.For me,volunteering to work on Christmas every year equalled that I preferred to go to school rather than take Christmas vacation.I was puzzled about Dad’s choice.
I decided to ask Dad why he chose not to celebrate with us every year.Hardly had my dad arrived home the next day when I couldn’t wait to ask.Daddy’s response impressed me a lot.Christmas is a happy time with great memories filled with love and family.The other employees all wanted the day off.It was he,the manager of the station that should bear the responsibility.Only if he led the role could more people spend a happier Christmas.Dad’s selflessness quality has a lasting effect on me.
【范文賞析】
情節(jié)方面,范文保證了文章的完整性、銜接性、合理性和融洽度。(1)完整性:在原文第一段中作者采用了倒敘的方法,講述了父親每年圣誕節(jié)都不在家過節(jié)而是去工作,范文在原文的基礎上描述了父親沒有參與當天的活動,“我”渴望知道父親不能在家陪伴“我們”過節(jié)的原因,即父親替別人著想。最后升華文章主題。(2)銜接性:范文情節(jié)銜接緊密,推動故事的發(fā)展。續(xù)寫第一段首句說這一天因為沒有父親的陪伴而過得很慢,范文接著講述圣誕節(jié)當天的活動,“我”渴望知道原因,因此詢問父親,和第二段首句銜接緊密,第二段父親的回答解答了“我”的疑問。所以,范文環(huán)環(huán)相扣,層次分明,銜接緊密。(3)合理性:圣誕節(jié)全家團聚,而父親因工作而不能陪伴,孩子為此不太開心,最后知道真正的原因后理解父親。(4)融洽度:范文注重和原文的融洽。如范文第二段和原文第一段寫父親的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)相呼應。
語言方面,續(xù)寫第一段采用排比句表達了作者圣誕節(jié)當天對父親的思念。completely,pitiful,rather than,be puzzled about,filled with,bear the responsibility 等詞或短語的使用符合高考英語對考生3500 詞的要求,和情節(jié)緊密相連,使用恰當。Hardly had my dad arrived home the next day when I couldn’t wait to ask.Only if he led the role could more people spend a happier Christmas.等倒裝句式的使用靈活、地道。
