读后续写题目
I recently went SKYDIVING! It's something I've been talking about doing since last year, but to be honest, it was planned super last minute... like within a matter of a few weeks.
It all started when I ran into a friend of mine walking home from a local festival earlier this summer. We started chatting about what we'd both been up to this summer and somehow got on the subject of both being interested in going skydiving someday. My friend, Denny, said he'd be on board if I really wanted to schedule a jump and I was so excited to finally have someone to go with!
Later that night, we texted back and forth and decided on our jump date a few weeks in the future. When the very Sunday came, we were both FULL of excitement for our first skydiving experience. He had been bungee jumping before and I'd done my fair share of zip-lining, but neither of us figured that either of those of experiences would prepare us for what we had in store.
The drive there didn't happen without a slight delay. As soon as we got off the through-way on to the exit towards the small town where the skydiving facility was, Denny's car started to
make a strange noise, forcing us to pull over on a busy interstate(州际公路).
Only 20 minutes away from WNY Skydiving (the place where we were going), we discovered we had a flat tyre (轮胎). At that point, I felt pretty defeated. Our scheduled time was 4 pm — the last appointment time of the day — so I figured they wouldn't be able to wait for or delay the operations for us since we were racing against the light.
Para 1: We called American Automobile Association (AAA) and hoped for the best.
Para 2: We were informed we were the final hump of the night...the "sunset jump".

Para 1: We called American Automobile Association (AAA) and hoped for the best.
As we waited on the side of the road, the sun began its slow descent, casting a golden glow over the fields. Time was slipping away; so was our hope. Denny and I looked at each other, a mix of frustration and anxiety evident on our faces. But just when we were about to give up, in the distance we saw the AAA truck approaching. Relief flooded through us as the mechanic quickly changed the tire and got us back on the road. Another 15 minutes flew by when we finally arrived at the jump site. (96 words)
Para 2: we were informed we were the final jump of the night…the sunset jump.
Gone was the frantic worry of the highway breakdown, replaced by renewed anticipation. Geared up and hearts pounding, we boarded the small plane, the ground shrinking below as we climbed towards the embrace of the setting sun. As we dived offboard and soared through the sky, the wind rushed past our bodies, taking all the worries and doubts, leaving only pure exhilaration and joy. Bathed in a warm glow, Danny and I screamed at the top our lungs. In that fleeting moment, I saw in his fiery eyes, adventures for a lifetime. (93 words)

Paragraph 1: We called American Automobile Association (AAA) and hoped for the best.
With every passing, excruciating minute, disapointment threatened to drown the day’s bubbling excitement. The possibility of us missing the jump after coming so close was almost unbearable. Then, suddenly, the rumble a tow truck sliced through the tension. With practiced efficiency, the driver swiftly changed our tyre, reigniting a silver of hope. After paying for his service, we dashed into the ablaze sunset. The moment we parked the car at the WNY, Denny and I exchanged a look. I saw, in his eyes, our initial disappointment had morphed into wild anticipation. (91 words)
Paragraph 2: We were informed we were the final jump of the night…the “sunset jump”.
As we soared skyward in the small plane, the anticipation only grew higher and higher until finally, taking a deep breath, we leapt out and plunged towards the earth. The adrenaline rush was unlike anything I had ever experienced. After the initial freefall, we were suspended, weightless, in an impossible sky, the world a breathtaking panorama of pinks, oranges, and purples bleeding into the approaching night. We were hurtling towards the ground, yes, but we were also flying. And for a brief, glorious moment, everything felt possible. (87 words)

Self-Portrait
Alia was disappointed to find herself in the drawing studio. She had been sick with the flu during the week when everyone else got to pick their classes. She had hoped for Astronomy or Marine Biology, but they were full by the time she got to choose. She loved everything about science, from the way it used facts and formulas to how it revealed the basic nature of things. But art was so . . un-scientific.
The first class project was self-portraits. Some students were drawing self-portraits using mirrors. Others were working from photographs. Alia glanced at the incomplete sketches, feeling like a cat in a dog show. But she had no choice. Hesitantly, she lifted a pencil, only to pause before the canvas. Confusion and reluctance were evidently written on her face; she had no idea how to proceed with her strokes.
The teacher came up to Alia's easel(画架). Seemingly having noticed her trouble, he sat next to her.
"Every portrait begins with a circle, " he said. "Then you create a series of lines. "
To demonstrate, he drew a group of small, quick portraits. He began each one with a circle, some straight lines, and a triangle to determine where the eyes, nose, and chin should go. To Alia's amazement, each portrait on the paper took form. Alia had never thought about it, but the features of everyone's face were in the same spots. "Go ahead and give it a try." The teacher handed the pencil back to her.
Taking a deep breath, Alia began her own self-portrait. She drew the basic form of a head, the way she had been shown. From there, she used lines to plot the features of her face. She had to take note of each detail, with each stroke, line and curve demanding her close attention. One wrong measurement could throw off the whole portrait.

The process took patience and precision.
Admiring her work, Alia suddenly realized drawing was just what she had hoped for.

The process took patience and precision. It was much like the scientific experiments Alia adored. She closely observed the proportions of her face, the way a scientist might study a complex formula. Each feature demanded her undivided focus, as she carefully translated the three-dimensional reality onto the two-dimensional plane. The rhythm of her drawing mirrored the methodical steps of a scientific procedure. Slowly, the initial resistance and confusion gave way to a meditative absorption in the task at hand. As her self-portrait emerged from a series of geometric guidelines, Alia discovered a sense of achievement in the deliberate and thoughtful application of pencil to paper.(99w)
Admiring her work, Alia found that drawing was surprisingly what she had hoped for. The self-portrait before her was not just a collection of lines and shapes but a deep exploration of her own face, a meticulous examination of her own features. She realized that art and science were not so distinct; both required a keen eye, a steady hand, and an open mind. Her initial skepticism had been transformed into a quiet appreciation for the unexpected joy found in the strokes of her pencil. Suddenly it occurred to her: Don't assume you won't like something until you try it. This newfound appreciation for art would forever intertwine with her love for science, shaping her journey of self-discovery and enabling her to perceive the world through a richer, more vibrant lens.(117w)

It had been a very long night. Our black dog "Jucy" gave birth to six puppies. I woke my wife, Judy, and told her that everything was fine. As we walked back into the spare bedroom, I noticed a sixth puppy was now lying all by itself over to the side of the cage.
"Something's wrong," said Judy. I reached over and picked up the puppy. My heart sank when I saw the little puppy had a cleft lip and palate. I took the puppy to the vet and was told nothing could be done unless we were willing to spend about a thousand dollars to try and correct the problem. We clearly could not afford that. However, that did not stop me from feeding the puppy by hand, which I did every day and night, for more than ten days. The little puppy survived and learned to eat on his own.
The fifth week I placed an ad in the newspaper, and within a week we had people interested in all of the puppies, except the one with the deformity. Late one afternoon I happened to see my old schoolteacher. She would like to get one puppy for her grandson. I told her all the puppies had found homes, but if someone changed their mind, I would let her know.
Within days, all but one of the puppies had been picked up by their new families. This left me with a brown one as well as the smaller puppy. Two days passed without me hearing anything from the gentleman who had promised the brown puppy. I telephoned the schoolteacher and told her I had one puppy left. She said that they would come over at about eight o'clock.
That night at around seven thirty, we heard a knock on the front door. The man who had wanted the brown puppy came and took the brown puppy. Judy and I did not know what we would do or say when the teacher showed up with her grandson.

Para 1: At exactly eight o'clock, the doorbell rang.
Judy and I exchanged a nervous glance before I answered the door. Standing on our doorstep was my old schoolteacher, a smile crinkling the corners of her eyes. Behind her stood a small boy, fidgeting shyly. As I led them to the living room where the last puppy was waiting, I couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension. "Oh my," my teacher said when she saw the puppy, her eyes widening with surprise. Taking a deep breath, I prepared to explain, but just then, the little boy ran to the puppy and knelt down to pet him.
Para 2: I just about fell over when I saw that the small child also had a cleft lip and palate.
Looking at my teacher, her eyes welled up with tears, I said, "It mustn't have been easy." She didn’t respond at once. Looked fondly at her grandson playing with the puppy, she then turned and smiled, "He is strong. Just like the little one." I nodded. As they played, I sensed a special bond forging between the two resillent souls who had both come a long way. At one point, the child and the puppy both looked up at me with big, heart-melting eyes so I knelt down and joined them, knowing everything was going to be alright.
