The last lesson of the day was PE class. Mary was skipping rope on the
playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her (过去分词做后置定语). It
was her best sport. The rope spun quickly as she jumped . When time was up ,
the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling (现在分词做伴随动作), Mary flashed a victory
sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed
up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White.
That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take
charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The
student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to
step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded
nervously, insisting (现在分词做伴随动作) that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms.
White reassured her, saying (现在分词做伴随动作) she believed in her ability and
encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school.
Now, walking toward the teachers’ office (现在分词做伴随动作), Mary felt nervous.
The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to
see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no.
With that decision in mind , she quickened her pace and ran across the sports
ground.
Mary was about to pass the sandpit when someone nearby caught her
attention . It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been
good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious (adj做主语补语), she went over to
ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for
the long jump event, and without a participant , their class wouldn't get any
points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if
anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he
wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't
about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then
he went back to practicing . What a similar issue they both faced!

The last lesson of the day was PE class. Mary was skipping rope on the
playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best
sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the
counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd.

Paragraph 1: Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard.
Paragraph 2: With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office.一、类型分析与构思思路
项目 内容
读后续写类
心理成长类 / 自我突破类 / 勇于承担责任线
型
面对自我不安与责任的选择，主人公通过观察他人获得勇气，最终
主题核心
实现自我成长。
Mary（主角，跳绳好但怕写字丑）、Tom（触发灵感的平凡勇
主要人物
士）、Ms. White（引导者）
主要任务 是否承担板报任务（核心冲突：自我怀疑 vs. 责任担当）
续写主旨方通过Tom的行为获得启发，勇敢面对不完美，承担责任，实现心理
向 成长。
文章价值观勇气来自责任感；尝试比完美更重要。
二、构思思路与布局步骤
构思阶段 内容要点 写作策略
Mary站在一旁，看Tom努力练习 用心理描写+细节描写+类比
1. 承接首句
——情绪由好奇转向反思 形成“触动与启发”的桥段
2. 内心冲突展 对比自己逃避板报与Tom勇于尝 使用反问句、动作犹豫、回忆
开 试，形成心理转折点 Ms. White鼓励等
由“他都能试，我也能”转向“我 用比喻或内心独白强化成长意
3. 决心形成
愿意承担” 识
4. 第二段（行 走进办公室→坦率说明自己的担忧 动作+语言+神态描写体现成
动落实） →表达承担意愿→教师鼓励 长与自信
用象征性句子（如“她感觉阳光更
5. 收尾 保持呼应与升华
暖”“像Tom一样”）收束主题
三、故事山结构（Story Mountain）

时间 After school → during PE → walking
平滑自然的时序发展
过渡 to office → at the end of the day
五、伏笔与冲突分析
项目 内容
Ms. White早前“believed in her ability”——信任伏笔，为后文接受任务
伏笔处
做心理铺垫。
冲突点 Mary的恐惧与责任感的对抗（怕丢脸 vs. 想帮助老师）。
隐含线 “Tom volunteered though he wasn’t good at it”——影射“尝试比完美更重
索 要”。
解决方
被他人榜样激励，行动中完成自我突破与情感升华。
案
六、续写设计技巧建议
写作环
技巧与提醒
节
承接首 用动词 + 感官描写 + 内心触动，如 “Her eyes followed his every
句 move, and a thought suddenly struck her.”
情感过
使用心理转折词：However, Yet, All at once, Suddenly, Deep inside写作环
技巧与提醒
节
渡
升华主 结尾可用象征或对比句式，如：“The letters on the board weren’t perfect,
题 but they were written with courage.”
语言层
注意句型变化：反问句、倒装句、分词短语，避免平铺直叙。
次
逻辑衔
前后呼应——“Tom’s spirit” → “She wanted to try, too.”
接
细节丰 用动作（walked firmly, held her head high）+心理（her heart was still
富 beating fast）体现成长。
七、教学提示总结
核心写作任务：
让学生理解“读后续写”的本质是情感逻辑的延续与人物成长的
展示。
写作重点不在情节反转，而在心理转折与人物呼应。
课堂指导要点：
先找原文冲突与伏笔（冲突是什么？谁解决？怎么解
决？）
明确人物的“心路线”：害怕→启发→决定→成长
按故事山结构布局段落（高潮放在第一段结尾或第二段开
头）
强调呼应句式与象征性收尾。

Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard . Every
time he jumped , he would stumble a little, but he never stopped. He wiped
the sweat from his forehead and adjusted his posture, then tried again.
Mary thought about how Tom was willing to take on something he wasn’t
good at just to help his class. She felt a little ashamed of herself—she was
scared of showing her bad handwriting, but what if she could try her best like
Tom ? Maybe the bulletin board wouldn’t be perfect, but she could put her
heart into it. The nervous feeling in her stomach slowly faded, and a new
sense of determination took its place. She turned around and headed
straight for the teachers’ office, her steps no longer hesitant (独立主格刻画人物心理).
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. Ms. White

breath and nodded firmly, “Yes, Ms. White. I’d like to take charge of the
class bulletin board.” She then added, “My handwriting isn’t good, but I’ll
practice and do my best to make it nice. I want to help our class, just like
Tom is helping his.” Ms. White’s eyes lit up with pride. She stood up and
patted Mary’s shoulder, “That’s what I wanted to hear, Mary. Bravery to try
is more important than being perfect. I’ll be right here to help you.” Mary
left the office with a big smile on her face , already looking forward to (现在分词短语做
