When I was in seventh grade, my parents paid a tutor forty dollars a week for her coming to my house and helping me with math. It ended up raising my marks from 50 to 55.
当我七年级的时候,我父母每周付给一位家庭教师40美元,让她来我家帮我学习数学。它最终把我的分数从50分提高到了55分。
I had to admit it was mainly my fault.(宾从)Maybe I should have concentrated on(虚拟语气)my math from the beginning. But studying math was a painful and tough thing. My teachers and friends would frequently ask the question after tests, “How’s your math this time ” Gradually I became extremely afraid of math. My fear of math got worse in ninth grade. Every report card I received from my new math teacher Ms. Robbins(定从)had the comment to encourage me. “I’m glad to do what I can(宾从)to help you.” Every question I had (定从)was, in my opinion at that time(插入结构), something that the whole class had misunderstood but me. So I ended up not caring about anything related to math, without working hard on math at all.(without的复合结构)But in my bottom of my heart, there was still a worry that I would not pass the math exam or even fail to be admitted to high school.
我不得不承认这主要是我的错。也许我应该集中精力,我的数学从头开始。但学习数学是一件痛苦而艰难的事情。我的老师和朋友经常在考试后问我这样一个问题:“这次你的数学怎么样?”渐渐地,我变得非常害怕数学。九年级时,我对数学的恐惧加剧了。我从我的新数学老师罗宾斯女士那里收到的每一张成绩单有评论鼓励我。“我很高兴能尽我所能来帮助你。”我的每一个问题在我当时看来, 除了我,全班同学都误解了这一点。所以我最终不关心任何与数学有关的事情,根本不努力学习数学。但在我的内心深处,仍然有一种担心,那就是我不会通过数学考试,甚至无法考上高中。
Finally, the day came when my classmates and I took the final test(分隔式同位语从句) that would lead to our graduation from middle school and stepping into high school. Days after the exam, on a rainy summer morning,(连续的状语排列)Ms. Robbins called me to her office.
终于有一天,我和同学们参加了期末考试,这将导致我们从中学毕业,进入高中。考试后的几天,在一个下雨的夏日早晨,罗宾斯女士把我叫到她的办公室。
文本分析:
且看原文,就算它再怎么复杂,所有的东西都是高中学过的,包括所有词汇和语法,所以有高中3500核心词汇及相关知识(以该词为核心的派生词及搭配)完全能写出一篇质量上乘的文章!在这里,我借鉴下雅思作文的判断标准。雅思作文是话题作文兼议论文,题型和续写不同,但都是作文,这些标准具有参考性。
续写情节发展:
首先要理清思路,也就是分析情节,确保情节:第一要符合文章发展的正常逻辑,第二任何一处都能前后连贯,特别是第一二段连贯,结尾要自然。雅思作文有一个Task Response(任务回应),那么放在这里就是确保情节能够正常发展,也就是既不偏离主线,又能有一定想象力。经过分析,第一段中必须答到Ms. Robbins告诉“我”考试结果以及“我”对于这个结果的反应,在结尾处应该比较自然地能衔接到给出的第二段原句。第二段,必须要答到“我”的父母对考试结果的反应以及在他们建议之下的“我”的下一步举措。那么,对于考场行文,一般都要注意一个基调的问题,最好以积极向上为宜。其次是写作技巧。要能够灵活运用各种词汇搭配和句式,恰当使用衔接,做到行云流水地表达。这里有三个标准可以借鉴:Coherence and Cohesion(连贯与衔接),Lexical Resources(词汇丰富度), Grammatical Range and Accuracy(语法多样性及准确性),所以在遣词造句上要在这几点下功夫。
续写:
Para1:With worry and uncertainty, I entered her office. She gave me a peaceful smile and let me calm down.(静下心来好宣布消息)She told me it was a pity that I wasn’t admitted to high school and what I can do is to study for another year.(同位语从句和主语从句)Hearing the news, I felt sad and at a loss, without ensuring myself to tackle the math challenge determinedly. (非谓语短语做状语,without的复合结构)However, Ms. Robbins comforted me again, “I’m glad to do what I can do to help you(重复一下上文,呼应)and it’s better to consult it with your parents.”(parents引出下文)Para2: After I took the courage to tell my parents the bad news, they were silent. After thinking for a while, they encouraged me to try again. “Failure was not a failure until you refused to face the fear deep inside.”They said to me gently and firmly. Inspired by their words, I came back to Ms. Robbins and promised to be focused(替换掉concentrated) when taught math(这句省略了I was,是个省略句). A year later, my math grades improved a lot and I made it to my dream school!(成功进入理想学校,happy ending)(字数统计:148词)
