A Mother's Day Surprise

The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother's Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.

The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 am. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture.Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds.Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread.This time,she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.

Then,Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then,she caught the smell of burning. Oh, dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

二、常用招式

妙招1：從標題看主題

一篇文章的標題通常有以下作用：點明寫作的對象，概括文章的內(nèi)容，表達作者的感情，揭示文章的中心。因此，抓住了文章標題就抓住了文章的主題。讀后續(xù)寫的語篇并不是每一篇都會有標題，但只要有標題，我們就一定要認真分析標題，先根據(jù)標題預測文章主題，讓我們后面的續(xù)寫有一定的方向性。

本篇讀后續(xù)寫的標題是A Mother's Day Surprise，通過這個標題我們可以知道本文的主要對象是母親，文章主要講的是母親節(jié)的節(jié)日驚喜的故事。母親節(jié)是兒女對母親表達感激、愛意的節(jié)日。surprise一詞透露出這將是一份讓母親感到開心的禮物，所以我們可以推測本篇文章的主題是表達對母親的愛和感激，體現(xiàn)和諧美好的家庭關系。

妙招2：從主題段落或主題句看主題

主題句是表達段落或文章中心思想的句子，它能使讀者在閱讀時準確地抓住段落或文章的中心思想。因此，如果我們能夠抓住一篇文章的主題句或者包含著主題句的主題段落，那么我們就抓住了文章的主題。很多情況下，我們是不能直接找到主題句的，但可以找到相關的主題段落，從而確定文章的主題。一般來講，主題段落要么是文章第一段，要么是最后一段。我們可以通過細讀主題段落中能夠表達感情色彩的形容詞和動詞等，豐富我們根據(jù)標題推測的主題。

這篇文章第二段和第三段都是在描述做早餐的過程，所以我們需要格外關注的主題段落一定是第一段。細讀第一段中的“The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother's Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed.”，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)語篇中出現(xiàn)了excitement、pleased和proud這些詞，它們體現(xiàn)了雙胞胎想到能夠在母親節(jié)給母親一個驚喜就非常興奮的心情，同時也體現(xiàn)了他們認為母親看到這份驚喜一定會很高興、自豪。這些描述渲染的氛圍都是溫馨的，感情基調(diào)是歡快、愉悅的，由此我們可以得知他們很愛自己的母親，也可以感受到他們成長在一個溫暖的家庭。同時從“How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge.”這兩句話，我們可以進一步完善我們根據(jù)標題推測的主題——這份母親節(jié)的驚喜是雙胞胎親手做的烤面包和雞肉粥，并且他們會親自將食物送到母親的床邊，以此來表達他們對母親的愛。

妙招3：從人物形象看主題

人物形象是文章的重要組成部分。人物形象是文章的文眼，所以作者通常會通過對人物形象的描寫與刻畫，間接地反映其想要表達的思想感情。因此，我們可以通過分析、品讀文章的人物形象，來更好地理解作者的寫作目的和文章主題。

在所給的語篇中，作者用了excitement、went down the stairs quietly 等描寫，把這對雙胞胎為母親準備禮物的快樂、激動和體貼、用心的形象生動地展現(xiàn)出來。而孩子們的激動和貼心都很好地反映出孩子們對母親深厚的愛。

妙招4：從情節(jié)發(fā)展看主題

情節(jié)是敘事性文學作品內(nèi)容構(gòu)成的要素之一，指在敘事作品中表現(xiàn)人物之間相互關系的一系列生活事件的發(fā)展過程。情節(jié)是由一系列展示人物性格、表現(xiàn)人物與人物、人物與環(huán)境之間相互關系的具體事件構(gòu)成的。情節(jié)對人物形象的塑造、主題的揭示等方面起著重要的作用，因此我們也可以從情節(jié)發(fā)展這一角度來挖掘文章主題。

所給語篇的情節(jié)發(fā)展可以概括為：雙胞胎早起準備烤面包和煮雞肉粥——剛開始，一切準備工作都在順利進行——由于缺乏經(jīng)驗，他們遇到了重重困難。在這個故事中，根據(jù)他們剛開始做早餐時有條不紊的準備過程，再結(jié)合第一段中的“They had watched their mother in the kitchen.”，我們可以感知平時在母親做飯時，這對雙胞胎會經(jīng)常在旁邊看著母親，不管是聊天，還是幫忙，這些都是一種很好的陪伴，這體現(xiàn)了雙胞胎與母親的關系很融洽、親近。

文章第二段后半部分和第三段描寫了雙胞胎在做早餐過程中遇到的重重困難——面包糊了、粥撒了、手被燙了，但他們都沒有放棄為母親準備這份節(jié)日的驚喜，這也從側(cè)面反映出他們深深地愛著母親。

妙招5：從文章中的關鍵句看主題

關鍵句是指在文章中有重要地位和作用的句子。它可以是不同層次的中心句，也可以是結(jié)構(gòu)上的領起句、總結(jié)句和重要的過渡句，或者是在表達上有特色的句子，還可以是文章中一些哲理深厚的句子，這些都可以是文中作者情感表達的突破口。我們可以通過對這些句子的解讀，深化中心，理解作者的目的，把握文章的主題。

所給語篇第一段中有這樣一句話：“There was nothing to it.Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.”。雙胞胎在做早餐之前認為自己以前看過母親做飯，所以覺得做飯沒有什么困難。對比后面他們在做早餐時遇到的困難，反映出做飯沒有想象中簡單，從側(cè)面體現(xiàn)出母親平時做飯的艱辛。這也是雙胞胎在這次勞動中所體會到的，而這也應該讓他們更深刻地體會到母親平時的辛苦，進而更加感恩和珍惜母親的付出。

挖掘主題的方法有很多，但并不是每一篇文章都要用上所有的技巧，我們在平時的寫作中需要有意識地運用恰當?shù)姆椒ㄍ诰蛑黝}，熟能生巧，慢慢地，我們就能準確高效地選擇恰當?shù)姆椒?，提煉出文章的主題。

【參考范文】

Paragraph 1：

As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.Looking at the black bread and messy stove, instead of scolding them, Father asked them what had happened. The twins told the whole story to him. After knowing what the twins planned to do, Father praised them and patiently helped them clean up the stove and guided them to make the breakfast. Under their father's careful instructions, it didn't take long before the French toast and chicken porridge were ready.Everything settled,the twins couldn't wait to surprise their mother.

Paragraph 2：

The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.“Happy Mother's

Day! We love you, Mom! ”yelled the twins excitedly. At the sight of the French toast and chicken porridge, their mother's eyes twinkled with joy and she held them in a warm embrace,saying,“Oh,my dear!What a surprise!”The twins suggested their mother have a try and expressed their sincere gratitude,“It was until today that we knew it was not easy to cook. Thanks for everything you've done for us, Mom.”Tasting the special breakfast, their mother couldn't feel more pleased and proud. The early sunlight streaming in, the whole family was bathed in love and happiness.

Bird song

“Let it go!”Caroline yelled. Two boys were bending over a bird, as a third one held the poor creature roughly by its wings.“You'll hurt it,”Caroline looked fearful for the bird.

“That's the point,”the boys laughed.The tallest stood up and glared at Caroline.“Here,catch this!”he said as the now broken-winged bird sailed at Caroline from his hands. The poor creature cried in pain, as its wings had been badly damaged. The boys ran off, laughing at their work.

Caroline bent down to carefully pick up the bird. The poor feathered soul was wriggling（扭 動）about, with a fearful look in its eyes.“Don't worry,”Caroline whispered softly.She took a handkerchief from her pocket and gently placed the bird on it.

Caroline walked as quickly as she could back to her house, careful not to shake the bird around too much.She found a shoe box,filled it with soft cotton balls and then laid the bird down in its new resting place.

“Let me get you some water and food. That's the least I can do,”Caroline said. She took a tiny saucer from the kitchen, filled it with water, and placed it in the corner of the box.She managed to find some sunflower seeds,as that was the only bird-friendly food she could think of.Caroline was worried.She didn't want the bird to die.The poor bird now fast fell asleep, no doubt tired out from its earlier suffering.“Please don't die,”Caroline whispered tearfully.

If there was anyone whom she could turn to, it would be Mr Roberts. Mr Roberts was working at the nature museum.He had bird feeders throughout his yard,and sometimes,he would drop in her science class at school.Caroline never knew there was so much information about birds, until hearing him speak about them. She figured he would know what to do.
