读后续写评分标准

命题简介

续写部分第一小节需要描写Sharon和我如何做了以往从来没有做过的事情，同时♦，还要做得成功，

木尾要写明和Sharon一起去购物，为续写部分第二小节首句的“Whenwearrivedatthedepartmentstore”做

好铺垫。情节的设计与上文的相关性在于：Sharon和我如何去向妈妈们说明情况、妈妈们如何回应并给

予支持、Sharon和我去了百货商店。

续写部分第二小节需要描写我们去百货商店为Becky母女买了她们最迫切需要的东西，并送至

Becky家。与上文的相关性在于：我们的行动成功了、我们去百货商店为Becky母女买了东西。最后也可

以写此事对我的鼓舞，最后点出人生感悟。

只要情节设计合理，均可认为与原文情境的融洽度很高。
