Dear David,

I’m just writing to say congratulations on your fantastic speech last Friday. It was not an easy task and I’m glad it turned out to be a great success.

You were well prepared and the content was easy to follow. What’s more, you also thought about the questions we Chinese students would have. All of us were really impressed. Thanks to your instructions and encouragement, I’m sure everyone in our school is more enthusiastic about learning English and promoting Chinese culture now.

Thank you again for sharing wonderful ideas with us. We look forward to your next presentation.

读后续写：

Just then the captain came on deck, carrying a gun to shoot seabirds. He was surprised at the sight of the huge crowd. Then he looked up,only to find his son likely to fall at any moment. A sudden wave of panic swept over him. But he managed to pretend to be calm. “Hey, Dad is here! Be brave and jump into the water!” Hearing the words, the boy hesitated before he stuttered, “But…” The captain added. “Trust me! I’ll get you out immediately.” Finally the body agreed and jumped off. At the same time, the captain, along with some sailors, dashed into the water, rescued the boy and brought him back on board. They pressed his stomach and water came out of his mouth and nose. Then he began to breathe.

Seeing his son wet but alive, the captain breathed a sigh of relief. A burst of applause and cheers broke out from the crowd. Though he had an outward appearance of calm, his heart was pounding with nervousness. Never in his wildest dream did he imagine he was so close to losing his beloved son. At the same time, he was proud of his son for making a wise choice in face of danger. He kept his son company for a long while until his son felt better. The moment the boy stood up, he threw himself into his father’s arms, saying in a gentle voice “Thank you, Dad!” with tears of gratitude and happiness rolling down his cheeks.

读后续写：百词斩爱阅读 《爱之声》：跳水

【文章大意】一个从小乘船环游世界的男孩，有一天在船上时被一只猴子抢走了它的帽子，猴子很顽皮地爬上了船上的桅杆并开始撕扯帽子，男孩为了夺回心爱的帽子，毫不犹豫地跟着爬上桅杆。最后猴子越爬越高，把帽子挂在了桅杆上的第二根横梁的尽头，然后到达桅杆最顶端，取笑男孩。男孩铤而走险，走上了悬在高空中的横梁去取帽子，这一动作十分危险，因为男孩稍一失足，就会摔倒甲板上，后果不堪设想。而唯一安全的求生办法就是从横梁上直接跳入水中，然后被救。

【续写思路】

第一段：这时船长从船舱走到甲板上。续写部分可围绕船长见到围观的人群以及看见自己儿子所面临的危险后的一系列反应展开，包括心理、动作、语言等，还有男孩看到爸爸所做作为之后的反应。由第二段开头可知，本段情节大致为男孩在爸爸的劝说下，最后决定跳入水里，并且顺利获救。

第二段：看见儿子全身湿透但脱离生命危险，船长如释重负地长叹一口气。续写部分可围绕船长继续和孩子待在一起事所发生的的事情、心理活动以及在场人的反应等展开，包括对孩子的呵护、相互对话、各自的神情，以及双方对刚发生的惊险的一幕的回顾与反思，同时流露出浓厚的父子情。

(Text 1)

M: The red car with two doors is nice. And I like the color.

W: Don’t forget we have three kids.

M: That’s true. I guess we need the white one with four doors.

(Text 2)

W: Pacific Travel Company, Jane speaking. How can I help you?

M: Hello, it’s Stuart Gould here. I’ve booked a two-day group tour with your company and I need to make some changes to the original booking.

(Text 3)

W: You don’t look very well. Is there anything I can do?

M: No thanks, maybe I’ll go home early today.

W: Yes, I think you should. But don’t forget to tell our manager first.

(Text 4)

W: We’re having the meeting on Monday. That’s the day after tomorrow. Can you give me the report by Sunday?

M: OK. I’ll try to finish it as soon as possible.

(Text 5)

M: I’m worried about the exam in chemistry.

W: Me, too. Mrs. Smith always sets a hard paper, doesn’t she?

M: You’re right, and I failed last time.

(Text 6)

W: How about eating out tonight for a change?

M: It’s an idea, I suppose. Where shall we go?

W: There’s a new Italian place which has just opened.

M: That might be worth a try and we can take the bus.

W: Let’s walk there. It’s not far.

M: OK.

W: And we could invite Amelia and Rob, too.

M: But it’s too far for them. They’d need to drive there. Besides, Rob has a flight to London tonight.

(Text 7)

M: Linda! I was looking for you. I wanted to ask you what you are planning to do this weekend.

W: What’s up, Doug? I was supposed to watch a concert with my sister, but she canceled our appointment at the last minute. Now I have no plans.

M: We are planning to go climbing in the Azusa Mountains on Saturday. You really must join us.

W: That sounds great, but I haven’t climbed for a while. I’ll get tired easily.

M: All you have to do is walk and enjoy the scenery of the mountains along the way. The mountain is not that tall. There’s no way you can’t do it. Plus, we are going to have a delicious picnic at the top of the mountain.

W: OK. I certainly love picnics. I’m starting to get excited about climbing now! I’d better get a good pair of shoes.

(Text 8)

M: Hey, what about these ties? Which do you prefer, the green one or the black one?

W: I prefer the black one but I think you’ll take the red tie I saw in Camden Market. The color suits your jacket perfectly.

M: Yeah.

W: What do you think of this dress?

M: It would look really good with high heels.

W: High heels? I don’t like high heels much. I find them really uncomfortable.

M: I guess it would look good with the shoes you’re wearing. Are you getting the dress?

W: I’m not sure … I’d like to look in the market first before I decide whether to buy it or not.

M: I’d rather go for a coffee than look at more clothes now.

(Text 9)

W: What are you reading?

M: An article about this guy … Frane … Selak. They’ve called him the unluckiest man in the world. It looks like he’s had an unbelievable life.

W: Unbelievable? How?

M: Well … It started in the 1960s. He says he was on a train that came off the tracks and crashed into a river — he survived but the other 17 people died!

W: Lucky.

M: Frane did break his arm, though. Anyway, the next year he was flying on a small plane, which also crashed. Just as it was about to crash, one of the doors opened — the article says it had a fault — and he was sucked out. He escaped unhurt but nobody on the plane survived.

W: That’s unbelievable!

M: I know. Then a few years later, Frane was in a bus accident. There was heavy rain and the bus lost control on the wet road and crashed into a river. He survived, although 20 people drowned. Then Frane was in a car that caught fire while he was driving it on the motorway. He managed to get out with seconds to spare before the fuel tank exploded.

W: I don’t know whether he’s unlucky or extremely lucky, but I don’t think I ever want to travel with this guy.

(Text 10)

W: About two years ago I went with my class on our first school trip — five days in Paris! There were about thirty of us and four teachers. We all went in one big coach from our school in London. The teachers told us to be at school at four thirty in the morning. Everyone was there on time, but the coach didn’t arrive until five o’clock and we didn’t leave until five thirty! We were very cold and tired.

    Anyway, the coach was very comfortable and we watched a DVD and listened to some music on the journey. We had some sandwiches and drinks with us, so we went straight to Paris without stopping. The hotel was very old, but our room was nice and the bed was great! I shared the room with three other girls.

    When we went shopping I tried to practice my French a few times but sometimes I didn’t know the right words and spoke in English instead! The shops were great — I bought lots of presents, such as a dress for my mother, a bag for my dad and a T-shirt for my little sister!

    I think what I enjoyed most was the boat trip. I took lots of photos of my friends and the wonderful art galleries. I was sad to leave Paris. I had a lovely time there.
