Task 5

閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。

Lisa woke up on Saturday morning very excited. That day she was turning 10. She thought her mother would make her a special breakfast. Last year on her birthday， Lisa woke up to the smell of pancakes and sausage cooking. The kitchen table was full of fresh fruit and juice， and her family had even bought lots of fresh flowers to put on the table.

But when she went downstairs this morning， her father， mother and brother were eating cereal （麥片） at the table， just like any other day. No one even said “Happy birthday”.

When the phone rang and her mother announced that Lisa's aunt wanted to speak with her， she knew that it must be to wish her the best on her 10th birthday. But to Lisa's surprise， her aunt simply wanted to remind her to pick up her mail the next week while her aunt was out of town.

Lisa was quite confused. She thought that her family would say something about her special day， but she didn't want to seem upset. She tried to be cheerful. After all， she was looking forward to meeting her friends in the park soon. Surely they were going to be excited about her birthday.

When Lisa arrived at the park， her friend Jane was the first to greet her. “Nice day， isn't it， Lisa？” she asked.

Lisa， ready for her friend to wish her a happy birthday， responded excitedly， “Yes， it is！ It's a great day. You know why？”

“Because it's Saturday and the weather is great！” Jane replied.

Lisa nodded， but looked down in disappointment.

Soon the rest of her friends arrived， and they all had a good time playing soccer and spending time together. But Lisa couldn't help but think that it was strange that none of them had mentioned her birthday.

As she walked home in the late afternoon sun， Lisa tried her best not to cry. How could everyone forget her birthday？ She was close to tears by the time she reached her home.

When she walked in， she was quite surprised.

注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。

There was a box with her name on it in the living room.

No one was home， but there was a letter on the table.
