Kevin has always adored Halloween. This year, as always, he’d collected everything he needed for his “Halloween masterpiece.” One evening, he took a stroll down the block, noticing how everyone had decorated their houses with glowing pumpkins and ghosts. He was practically glowing with excitement.
But as he walked, something that caught his eye dimmed his smile. One house stood dark and empty. No pumpkins. No cobwebs. Just a bare, lonely porch (门廊). It was Mrs. Kimbly’s house. He told me about it when he got home.
“Mom, Mrs. Kimbly’s house doesn’t have any decorations. I think she needs help.” I told him maybe she didn’t want to decorate this year, but Kevin was certain. “Halloween is supposed to be fun. She shouldn’t have to spend it feeling bad.”
That was my Kevin. His heart was as big as the world. After I said it was okay to check on her, he gathered his decorations, even his favorite carved pumpkin, and went to her house. He decorated her front porch and was super excited until he heard her yell behind him.
“What are you doing here ” she asked.
“I…I just wanted to decorate your house,” he stammered.
“I don’t need any decorations!” she shouted and removed the decorations. “Now go away!”
When Kevin returned home that night, he looked completely defeated. He told me how unhappy Mrs. Kimbly looked. “Maybe she’s really lonely, honey,” I said gently. “Not everyone feels happy during the holidays.”
On Halloween night, he dressed up as a vampire but looked less excited than usual. As we made our way down the street, he couldn’t stop glancing toward Mrs. Kimbly’s house. It was still dark and empty, and I knew he was worried the other kids would see it as a target for tricks.
“Mom, I’m going to stay there,” he said suddenly. “I don’t want anyone to mess with her house.” And that’s just what he did. He took his candy bag and sat down on her porch steps. Whenever kids came up expecting candy, he’d give out some of his own. His candies dwindled quickly, but he stayed put, determined to protect her home.

写作示范一
A little while later, the door creaked open, and Mrs. Kimbly stepped out. She stared at Kevin, her eyes wide with surprise. “What are you still doing here, boy ” she asked, her voice a bit softer this time. Kevin stood up, a bit nervous but determined. “I didn't want anyone to play tricks on your house, Mrs. Kimbly. Halloween should be fun for everyone.” Mrs. Kimbly was silent for a moment, looking at the few candies left in Kevin's bag.
“Thank you, Kevin,” she whispered. Her eyes were glistening, and she seemed to be holding back tears. “I've been feeling so alone these days. I didn't mean to be rude to you before. Your kindness really touched me.” Then, she went back inside and brought out some old decorations. “Let's decorate the house together, shall we ” she suggested with a faint smile. Kevin's face lit up, and together they worked to make the porch come alive. As the night went on, their laughter filled the air, making this Halloween a truly special one for both of them.
写作示范二
A little while later, the door creaked open, and Mrs. Kimbly stepped out. She looked at Kevin sitting on the steps, his face a mixture of determination and kindness. “You've been here all this time ” she asked, her tone filled with disbelief. Kevin nodded, his eyes meeting hers. “Yes, ma'am. I just wanted to make sure your house was okay.” Mrs. Kimbly let out a sigh and sat down beside him.
“Thank you, Kevin,” she whispered. “I lost my husband last year, and I just couldn't bring myself to celebrate Halloween. Your thoughtfulness made me realize I'm not alone.” She then pulled out a box of cookies from inside. “I made these earlier. Would you like some ” Kevin grinned and took one. They sat there, sharing cookies and stories. Before long, other neighbors joined them, and the once - dark porch was filled with light and laughter, turning a lonely Halloween into a night of community and warmth.
【答案】 A little while later, the door creaked open, and Mrs. Kimbly stepped out. “Kevin, what are you doing here ” she asked, surprised. Kevin gazed up at her, then down at his almost empty candy bag. “I just didn’t want anyone to mess with your house, Mrs. Kimbly.” he said quietly. Mrs. Kimbly’s face softened. She sat down beside us and took a deep breath. Then she told her story, and Kevin finally knew why she had spent so many years alone. No kids, no grandkids. It didn’t seem worth celebrating anymore. “But you don’t have to be alone,” Kevin smiled. “We are here.” She gave him a small, sad smile, her eyes glistening.
“Thank you, Kevin,” she whispered. “And I’m sorry for removing all the decorations. I shouldn’t have thrown the pumpkin away.” Kevin’s smile was as warm as ever. “It’s okay, Mrs. Kimbly. I have another one at home. I’ll bring it over, and we can carve it together.” Mrs. Kimbly chuckled, and that was a sound I’d never heard from her before. At that point, Kimbly felt emotional thinking what a kind boy Kevin had grown into. He had brought Halloween back to Mrs. Kimbly’s heart through his little acts of kindness.
