小女孩Cindy在校沒有朋友,一次偶然的機會,“我”保護了她,她向“我”詢問她交不到朋友的原因,“我”該如實相告嗎?Cindy的生活會有變化嗎?
1 Last year there was a girl at our school who hardly talked to anyone. I think it was because she seldom showered, and she smelled kind of bad. Her name was Cindy Lindburg. I didnt know exactly where she lived, but it must have been somewhere in the neighborhood because we always got on the school bus at the same bus stop.
2 Cindy Lindburg didnt have many friends. She always came to the lunch room alone and left alone. On the bus, no one offered her a seat, and she never asked if she could share a seat with others. I thought that maybe it was because she was sort of a shy person. She seemed like a nice girl, who had an odor (氣味) problem.
3 One day, I was walking up to the bus stop and I saw Carl Littleton making fun of her. I couldnt hear what he was saying, but I saw him laughing and rolling his eyes in his typical poking?fun?at?you way. I also saw how sad it made Cindy. Holding her notebook tightly to her chest like a shield, she stared at the ground and moved as far away from him as possible without leaving the bus stop entirely. As soon as I got close enough, I glared at Carl to make him stop laughing—even though I knew he probably wouldnt. He didnt, so I walked over and stood closer to Cindy so she wouldnt feel quite so bad. It was just one of those times when you just knew someone needed someone to be a friend.
4 I didnt think shed say anything, but she did. Her eyes peeked (偷看) up from staring at the ground and as though she thought Id be embarrassed if anyone heard her speaking to me, she whispered “Hi”.
5 “Hi,” I said. Then as loudly as I could, I said, “Dont pay any attention to Carl. His parents have been unsuccessful in teaching him some manners.”
6 Some of the kids standing there laughed. The comment didnt even rouse (喚醒) a smile out of Cindy. By now everyone there was talking with a friend. Quietly, and with a serious look on her face, Cindy said, “Why dont I have any friends?”

四、續(xù)寫布局
文章最后一段寫到,“我”對Cindy的安慰并沒能讓她產(chǎn)生一絲笑意,看到周圍的人都在和朋友聊天,她神情嚴(yán)肅地問“我”為什么她沒有朋友。
根據(jù)續(xù)寫第一段的段首句“她的問題讓我很驚訝?!?,結(jié)合續(xù)寫第二段的段首句“她似乎能很好地接受,我稍微松了口氣?!?,可以推測續(xù)寫第一段主要講述“我”雖然感到驚訝和為難,但最終“我”告訴了Cindy她沒有朋友的原因并且她接受了這個原因。結(jié)合原文內(nèi)容,“我”認(rèn)為Cindy是一個害羞、善良、有體味問題的女孩,而告訴一個善良、害羞的女孩她有體味并不容易,這也是“我”在聽到Cindy的問題時感到驚訝的原因。具體情節(jié)發(fā)展,可根據(jù)以下問題鏈展開:
1. What did I do?
2. How did Cindy react?
3. Did she accept the reason?
續(xù)寫第二段的段首句“她似乎能很好地接受,我稍微松了口氣。”遵循了正能量結(jié)局的原則。Cindy最后交到了朋友,“我”也為自己能為Cindy的生活帶來好的轉(zhuǎn)變而開心。因此可以推測,續(xù)寫第二段主要圍繞Cindy聽從“我”的建議并做出了改變,最終交到朋友而展開。具體情節(jié)發(fā)展,可根據(jù)以下問題鏈展開:
1. What did I suggest?
2. How did Cindy feel?
3. What did Cindy do?
4. How did I feel for making a better change for Cindy?
