读后续写练习
Every kid in my neighborhood knew about the Christmas Witch. She was an elderly woman who left her Christmas decorations up all year long: a twinkling tree in the living room, a plastic wreath (花环) on the front door, and....
I was told the decorations were meant to get kids closer to the house so the Christmas Witch could take them. I promised myself I would never go near that place. But when I turned fourteen, I got a newspaper route and discovered I'd have to deliver papers to the Christmas Witch. But my mother just advised me not to worry.
My first day of delivery was a dark, freezing March morning. The sky was just turning pink as I approached the last house on my route...that of the Christmas Witch. I tiptoed up the porch steps and placed the newspaper by the door. Then I quickly turned around. And just then I slipped, and fell down the stairs. I sprained my ankle, unable to walk.
The light was on. The door opened. Someone came out. It was the Christmas Witch.
“Dear me,” said she. “Are you all right ” Speechless, I pointed at my ankle.
“Come in; make sure you’re okay.” She smiled, not a wicked-witch smile, but a nice smile, like she was concerned. I had no choice. Holding her hand, I got into her house and was placed in a chair. “Relax.” She hurried into the kitchen and returned a moment later, handing me a cup of hot tea. “I call your parents.” she said.
I told her my mother’s number as she dialed. She got through, told my mother everything and turned, “Your mother will be here shortly.” “Thank you, Mrs. Wright.” “You’re welcome.” She sat down across from me, smiling. “You don't have to call me Mrs. Wright; you can call me Christmas Witch.”
I was a bit embarrassed. “It's alright.” She smiled. “I hear what people say. It doesn't matter.” “You do have lots of decorations,” I said. “I think it’s pretty,” she replied. I said, “People think it’s... weird.” “They don't understand why I leave up my decorations,” she responded.
Like most teenagers, I just blurted out the next question. “Why ”
Paragraph 1: “It was because of my son, Anthony, who died in the war,” said Mrs. Wright.
Paragraph 2:The doorbell rang and my mother arrived.
“It was because of my son, Anthony, who died in the war,”said Mrs. Wright. “Anthony was scheduled to come home before Christmas. He called me on New Year’s Eve, telling me to leave up the Christmas decorations. But three days later, Anthony was killed in a helicopter crash. My boy never made it back home. And even though I know it doesn’t change anything, I won’t take down those decorations, even after all these years.”Mrs. Wright wasn’t a witch. She was a sad, isolated mother struggling with a terrible loss.
The doorbell rang and my mother arrived. Accompanied by my mother, I went home. My sprained ankle healed quickly. Since then, whenever I delivered newspapers to Mrs. Wright, she smiled, saying how much she enjoyed my visit. Funny, I didn’t think of her as the Christmas Witch anymore. Several years later, Mrs. Wright had passed away. After all these years, that experience has always helped me remember that ageless lesson: Be a little less judgmental and a bit more understanding toward others.
A Christmas story
Jim Glaub and Dylan Parker had just been handed the keys to their new Manhattan apartment on 22nd Street when they were told something curious: “Just as you know, there’re letters addressed to Santa coming to the apartment. The previous tenants(租户)received the letters too. It had been coming for years and no one knows why. ”
Glaub and Parker settled in to their new home, and for the first twoyears only a few letters flew in from kids or parents asking “Santa” for gifts they could not otherwise afford: toys, coats, a doll. Glaub, of course, is not Santa. He runs a Broadway marketing company.
He and Parker managed to make both ends meet. Then in the months leading to Christmas 2021, their mailbox was flooded. Every day, they’d open it to find it filled with letters to Santa. They responded to as many as they could, writing notes, even buying gifts.
But they could do only so much. The letters coming in were far more than they could deal with so there was always a pile of letters in the corner of their dining room.
One night, when Glaub and Parker held a Christmas party, a solutionappeared. One of their guests noticed the hundreds of letters they’d yet to act upon and asked about them. And some guests even read the letters and knew about the stories behind them, making them hold back tears due to the unlucky kids and their miserable parents.
Glaub told them the story and his guests were interested. A lot ofpeople were like “I’ll take a letter. I’ll fulfill it. ” That‘s when Glaub and Parker realized they didn’t have to fulfill all these wishes themselves. “People want to help.” And there was a miracle born on 22nd Street, where a community-based volunteer organization that responds to children's letters to Santa withgreetings and gifts was established.
