Floods are common and frequently destructive natural events that annually affect around 250 million people worldwide. Though the causes of flood --usually having rainfall or melting snow --are unavoidable,knowledge of the correctly procedures before,during and after a flood can make a difference.
Before a flood occurs, we must work to reduce the risk to people and their valuables.贵重物品
Firstly, you should prepare disasters supplies that include a light source, sleeping bags, warm clothes, and most importantly, at least three days of food and drinking water.
Secondly you should bring the most important objects to the upper levels of your house .
During the flood, it is important to leave where you are immediately. The longer you stay , the more danger you will be in.Be sure to move to higher ground. If you already inside a building, move to the upper floor.
Don't walk or drive through the moving floodwater.
Since as little as 15 centimeters of moving water is enough to knock an adult down撞倒; 推倒 ,and 60 centimeters can wash most cars away
After a flood, listen for official news reports to find out when it is safe to return to your home.As you return home , watch out for possible dangers. The flood may have damaged roads and power lines. Keep away from远离; 避开the flood water,because it may be polluted and unsafe to touch .

Passage Analysis:
Mary and her parents were downstairs in the living room. Mary was looking through the windows at the endless rain outside. It had been raining non-stop for three days. She had never seen a storm this bad. It was making her nervous. The wind roared and the rain beat on the roof and windows. Dad was listening to a weather report on the radio, while Mum was putting their important documents and disaster supplies into a bag.
“Mum,Dad,” said Mary suddenly, “I think we should leave here right away!”“No,”said Dad. “It‘s too late! The radio says the city has already been flooded.”“We can drive our car through the floodwater! Let’s just leave! I’m really scared!” cried Mary.“We can’t do that, honey,” explained Mum, “otherwise the moving water could wash the car away!”
Caught in a flood
Passage Analysis:
Mary walked to the door. She was curious to see how much water there was outside.“Don't open the door!" shouted Mum and Dad at the same time. "The water may flood in!"
Dad moved the dinner table against the door, in case the floodwater forced the door open. Mum waved to Mary to sit on the sofa. “Mary, don't worry.Everything's going to be OK," she said softly, trying her best to comfort Mary. Her voice was calm, but Mary could tell she was worried too.
Without saying a single word, Dad walked to the sofa, sat down and hugged his wife and daughter. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain more frightening outside.

Assessment Criteria for continuation writing
读后续写评分标准
01原文一致原则
内容要前后衔接,上下连贯
语言表达风格一致。
03曲折性原则
凡是故事都应有跌宕起伏,其中人物会遇到困难或问题,但最终能解决。
02正能量原则
故事内容一定要正能量,弘扬社会主义核心价值观。如迷路了但最终一定回到了家;失败了或遇到困难了,但最终一定成功了;吵架了但最后一定是言归于好,和睦相处;犯错了,最后一定会改过自新,重新做人;贼逃了,最后一定是绳之以法,等等。
三大原则
写作指导
1
读懂大意,理清脉络
主要是根据记叙文的六要素弄清文章大意,特别要弄清故事的人物,时态(通常是一般过去时),事件(故事的起因和经过),语言特色(以便在续写时语言特色前后一致,保持不变),等等。
人物时态和事件
语言特色不要变
2
细读首句,构思框架
两段首句定一框
由续写的第一段首句与第二段首句确定第一段的框架,尤其是第一段最后一句的衔接。
二框二首正能量
第二段的框架,由第二段首句与正能量结尾来确定。
3
增加细节,开始写作
在已定框架范围内,依据情节发展和生活常识,推断故事中人物所见、所思、所说、所做、所感等给每段增加5至8个具体细节,我们称之为叫“58细节添加法”。

Writing
Caught in a flood
(Part II)
After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad decided they should stay in the house. They thought it would be really dangerous to try to walk through the water to get to higher ground. “Mary, we’ll have to go upstairs and wait there,” said Mum. “OK, Mum. If that’s what you think is best,” Mary replied uncertainly. So they went upstairs and waited. Downstairs, water flooding into the living room and kitchen. All three of them were nervous, but at least they had disaster supplies, including food and drinking water.

Writing
Finally, the rain stopped, but Mary and her family could not leave while the house was still flooded. They listened to the radio and learnt that rescue workers in boats were coming to rescue people who were trapped in their homes. They waited for a boat to arrive at their house. Their home had been badly damaged, but they were all happy to be alive.
It was joint efforts and selfless love that helped them survive in the disaster.
Caught in a flood
(Part II)
After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad decided they should stay in the house. Night had fallen. It rained harder and harder, the wind still blowing. To make matters worse, the electricity was off.?Faced with the sudden darkness, Mary let out a scream, full of fear. The door started to shake and water flowed into the room. Dad took out the flashlight prepared in advance, and ordered, “Quick! Go upstairs!” By the light of the flashlight, they rushed up to the second floor. They didn’t dare to sleep all that night, comforting and encouraging each other.?
The original story
Finally, the rain stopped. The morning dawned fresh and clear. They breathed a sigh of relief. However, damaged by the terrible flood, the room was in a mess. Dad turned on the radio again to listen to the latest news of the flood.?Noises began outside and Mary approached the window. She saw many volunteers outside the window, who were busy helping her neighbors. Soon, several volunteers came to Mary’s house and asked if they needed assistance.?Merciless as the flood was, there was still love in the world.
