本文以奶奶和孙子们在后院一起种植蔬菜为线索展开，讲述了那年早春，娜娜和她的孙子们

在后院，艾米、迈克尔和贾斯汀正在玩耍，奶奶提出要种植蔬菜，一开始孙子们建议奶奶去

商店买，因为自己种植蔬菜要做那么多工作，然后还要等这么长时间，奶奶让孙子们耐心点,

因为自己种的食物总是味道最好的，奶奶认为如果大家都来帮忙，工作也不会太多•孙子们

听了都乐意来帮忙，奶奶给孙子们分了工，奶奶耐心教导，当他们把所有的东西都种好后，

孩子们轮流往水罐里灌满水，这样奶奶就能把土壤弄湿，让种子开始生长。奶奶说只要每天

给它们浇水，再加上一些时间和阳光，夏天就可以吃到美味的东西了。

【详解】

段落续写（以version1为例）：

①由第一段首句内容“每当孙子们来拜访时，他们都会冲进花园。”可知，第一段可描写孩子

们怎样照顾这些植物们，以及看着蔬菜开花并结出果实时的兴奋心情。

②由第二段首句内容“最后，娜娜说是第一次收获的时候了。”可知，第二段可描写孩子们听

到消息的喜悦之情，他们一起收集蔬菜，并把这些变成了美味佳肴，们认为没有什么比这更

美味了，付出总有回报。

续写线索：冲进花园一看如何生长——照顾花园——开花结果——高兴
