四、学习动作链的意义及运用方法
学习动作链旨在理解“动作构造逻辑”,日常练习和考场上,不能直接套用,而要根
据具体情境将不同动作链灵活组合、扩写或者改写,让故事内容丰富、逻辑合理。
综合演练
In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch(胸针) in a shop window that set his heart
racing. But the price-five dollars-was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a
week's food for his family.
Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went
to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together.
The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to support their five children but
she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop's weathered (风化的)door and went inside, Standing proud
and straight in his flour-sack(面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told theshopkeeper what he wanted, adding, "But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it
for some time?
"I'll try," the shopkeeper smiled. "People around here don't usually have that kind of money to
spend on things. It should keep for a while."
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out.
He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when
she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an
idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags(装钉子的麻袋). People built their own
buildings in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used nail
bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the
factory for five cents a piece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.
