On a snowy day Steve sat down on the usual seat in the Union Square. Every Thanksgiving for nine years he had sat down there at one in the afternoon. Every time, a wonderful thing happened to him, which made his heart feel full of joy.
On those other Thanksgiving Days, Steve usually had been hungry. But today Steve was not hungry. He had come from a dinner so big that he had almost no power to move. His body had suddenly become too big for his clothes; it seemed ready to break out of them. They were torn. You could see his skin through a hole in the front of his shirt. But the cold wind, with snow in it, felt pleasantly cool to him.
The dinner had not been expected. He had been passing a large house near the beginning of that great broad street called Fifth Avenue, where lived two ladies of an old family who had a deep love of tradition that on Thanksgiving Day food will be offered to the first hungry person to walk by. Today Steve happened to be the one to pass by on his way to the park.
Steve sat in the park, appearing to be waiting for somebody, but appearing not to expect something to happen. Suddenly his eyes grew wider and his breath stopped. For the old gentleman was coming across Fourth Avenue toward Steve's seat.
Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years the old gentleman had come there to find Steve on his seat. Then he had led Steve to a restaurant and watched him eat a big dinner, which had been a part of Thanksgiving Day. The old gentleman was thin and tall and sixty. His hair was whiter and thinner than it had been last year. His legs shook, seeming not as strong as they were the year before.

话题:助人篇
文章大意
在一个下雪天,Steve 像往常一样坐在联合广场的老位置上。过去九年的每个感恩节下午一点他都在这儿,每次都有好事发生。以往他都饥肠辘辘,但这次他在来公园之前,在第五大道附近的一所大房子里吃了一顿丰盛的大餐,撑得衣服都紧了。而每年这个时候,一位老绅士都会来找 Steve,并带他去餐厅吃大餐,这已成为感恩节的一部分。今年老绅士又来了,不过 Steve 已经饱了。
伏笔及续写回应
1. 伏笔:Steve 已经吃得很饱,但老绅士每年的惯例是带他去吃大餐。续写回应:Steve 不知如何回应,内心纠结,最后还是接受了邀请,因为他明白这是一种传统。
2. 伏笔:老绅士身体一年不如一年(头发更白更稀、腿颤抖、不如以前强壮)。续写回应:暗示这种传统可能持续不了太久,更凸显出这种善举的珍贵,Steve 接受邀请也是对老绅士的尊重。
续写要点
1. 第一段:描述 Steve 见到老绅士时紧张不安的状态,老绅士像往常一样邀请 Steve 去吃饭,而 Steve 不知如何是好。
2. 第二段:老绅士期待 Steve 接受邀请,Steve 犹豫后还是答应了,因为他知道这一行为对于老绅士的意义,这是感恩节传统的一部分,体现出对他人善意的尊重。

Paragraph 1:
As this kind old gentleman came toward him, Steve began to shake and his breath was shorter. His mind raced with thoughts. How could he tell the old man he'd already eaten? The old man's familiar face brought a mix of warmth and guilt. "Hello," Steve managed to say, his voice weak. The old gentleman smiled, his eyes filled with the same kindness as always, and began his usual invitation. Steve's heart sank as he struggled with what to do.
Paragraph 2:
With these words, the old man looked into Steve's eyes, expecting Steve to accept the dinner. Steve felt a lump in his throat. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded. He knew this wasn't just about food. It was about the old man's tradition, his way of showing care. So, Steve decided to follow him once again, even though his stomach protested. The snow seemed to fall more gently as they walked side by side.

Paragraph 1:
As this kind old gentleman came toward him, Steve began to shake and his breath was shorter. He was both touched by the old man's presence and panicked at the situation. The old man's figure was like a warm memory from the past Thanksgivings. But now, Steve was full. As the old gentleman got closer, Steve's palms grew sweaty. "Good day," the old man said, and Steve could only stutter in response, his eyes avoiding the old man's.
Paragraph 2:
With these words, the old man looked into Steve's eyes, expecting Steve to accept the dinner. Steve looked back at him, seeing the anticipation and kindness in those eyes. For a second, he considered telling the truth. But then he realized how much this meant to the old man. With a forced smile, Steve said, "Thank you. I'm ready." As they set off, Steve knew he was carrying on a beautiful tradition that was more important than his current fullness.
参考范文:
As this kind old gentleman came toward him, Steve began to shake and his breath was shorter. He wished he could fly away. But he could not move from his seat. “Good afternoon,” said the old gentleman. “Glad to see you again. Come with me, my man, and I will give you a dinner that will surely make your body feel as thankful as your mind.” Those are what the old gentleman said every time. The words themselves were almost a tradition. Always before, they had been music in Steve’s ear. But now he looked up at the old gentleman’s face, totally at a loss what to say.
With these words, the old man looked into Steve’s eyes, expecting Steve to accept the dinner. Steve hesitated for half a minute, helpless and very sorry for himself. And then Steve made a strange noise, and said: “Thank you. I’m very hungry.” which the old gentleman had heard nine times before, he understood it. Steve was very full, but he understood that he was a part of a tradition. His desire for food on Thanksgiving Day was not his own. It belonged to this kind old gentleman. Then he struggled to stand up and followed the gentleman in the snow.
