情感描写魔法
情感描写如果结合肢体动作描写和比喻、拟人、夸张等修辞手法，会起到意想不到的
艺术效果。同样的一个动作，例如拍拍肩，可以表示鼓励、安慰、兴奋等多个情绪。

综合模拟演练
“If mum finds out that I'm going to the beach, I'll be in big trouble.” I said to myself softly in
a low voice.
I went downstairs slowly and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking
towards the back door, mum asked without looking up from her “dish-washing”, “Where are you
going?” I answered back without hesitation,“ I am going to the garden to play.” After I got out of
the kitchen, I breathed a sign of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed the fence
and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at
top speed.
After half an hour I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends, Jimmy and Bobby.
Two young men were racing in the canoes (独木舟). After a while, I saw them near a coconut
tree. I ran towards them and got into my swimming trunk (游泳裤). For about an hour, we played
volleyball happily.Suddenly, Bobby hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bobby was going
to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I
wanted to show off my swimming skills so I declared to help get the ball for them.
I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten
minutes, I became tired but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put
in an extra burst of speed. However, just as I was going to get the ball, a very strong current swept
the ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weed (海草)tangled (缠绕) up with my
feet and I could not swim properly. I struggled to keep afloat but it was no use. “ If I had listened
to my parents, this would never have happened,”I thought silently.
Paragraph 1
Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater.
Paragraph 2
When I woke up, I was in an empty room lying on a bed.
