Christmas time at the bookstore was always busy. It was exciting but tiring, unfortunately robbing me of the joy of the season. The customers we found most challenging were those buying for others—frustrated and unsure, often leading to sharp comments during this busy time.
One year, I encountered a man in the kids' section who seemed completely at a loss. He looked about thirty-five, holding a piece of paper and a small bag from another store, which contained just candy. Tired and panicked, he appeared to have barely begun his shopping just days before Christmas.
I approached him, asking if I could help. When he turned to me, he looked like he was on the edge of tears. He didn't reply, just stared, so I gently touched his shoulder. “Are you okay? ” I asked.
“Sorry, ” he said, taking a deep breath. “I need presents for my nieces, my nephew, my brother-in-law, and my parents. ” He paused, struggling to continue. “I don't know what they like, but they all like to read. I just want to make sure there's something to open. ”
He turned back to the shelves. I could tell he wasn't seeing anything. I wanted to give him a hand and asked him how old his nieces and nephew were. He handed me the list: twin nieces aged eight and a six-year-old nephew. As I asked about their interests, I noticed his body shaking. “My sister just died, ” he said, struggling to hold it together. “Cancer. She always did Christmas, you know? ”
At that moment, I realized that not only did he need gifts, he needed support as well. I have always kept a gift card at Christmas. Sometimes, a staff member really needed a few seconds to calm down after a really bad moment with a difficult customer. A cup of coffee upstairs would do the trick.

第一段:我把礼品卡递给他,让他先去喝杯咖啡放松一下。然后我迅速根据他提供的信息在书架上挑选起来。我为八岁的双胞胎侄女选了精美的童话绘本,为六岁的侄子挑了有趣的冒险故事书,还为他的哥哥 - 姐夫和父母挑选了经典的文学作品和养生书籍。我把这些书精心包装好,等待他回来。
第二段:当他看到那些书时,感动得热泪盈眶。他说这是他在这段黑暗时光里收到的最温暖的帮助。他感激地拥抱了我,说这些书一定会让他的亲人们在这个没有妹妹的圣诞节感受到一丝慰藉。他带着书和重新振作的精神离开了书店,而我也为能在这个特殊时刻帮到他而感到无比欣慰。
情感线:男士开始是因妹妹去世和购物无措而悲伤、慌乱。得到 “我” 的帮助后先是惊讶、感动,最后心怀感激。“我” 则是从同情、想要帮助到看到他被感动后的欣慰。

写作示范一:
I gave him the gift card and asked him to enjoy a cup of coffee there by himself. Then I got down to choosing books. For the twin nieces, I picked out two sets of vividly illustrated fairy tale collections. For the little nephew, an action-packed adventure novel was just right. For the adults, I selected some bestselling novels and a couple of books on well-being. I wrapped them up carefully with beautiful ribbons. When he came back, his eyes were red but calmer.
When he saw those books, he was moved to tears. He said he never expected such thoughtfulness. He thanked me over and over, saying these books would be a precious gift not only for his family but also for his broken heart. He held the books tightly as if they were the most precious things. As he walked out of the store, I knew that this small act of mine had made a big difference in his difficult Christmas.
写作示范二:
I gave him the gift card and asked him to enjoy a cup of coffee there by himself. I immediately started browsing the shelves. I found a series of educational and fun storybooks for the nieces and nephew. For his brother-in-law and parents, I chose some classic literature and some books about family and love. I arranged them neatly and put a small Christmas card on top. I waited patiently for him to return.
When he saw those books, he was moved to tears. He was speechless for a moment and then said these books were like a warm embrace in his cold and sad world. He said he would always remember this kindness. He took the books with a newfound strength and a glimmer of hope in his eyes. I watched him leave, feeling that kindness really has no boundaries and can bring a little sunshine even on the darkest days.
参考答案
I gave him the gift card and asked him to enjoy a cup of coffee there by himself. He looked at me in disbelief for a moment and then a glimmer of gratitude appeared in his eyes. As he made his way upstairs, I quickly gathered some age-appropriate books: storybooks full of adventure and magic for his nieces, a colorful picture book about animals for his nephew. I also selected a classic novel for his brother-in-law and a collection of beautiful poetry for his parents. With the selected books in my hands, I noticed that he walked downstairs.
When he saw those books, he was moved to tears. “You have no idea how much this means to me, ” feeling those books lightly, he murmured, his voice trembling. I smiled, hoping that these books would bring him some comfort and joy during this difficult time. He waved goodbye to me and then left the store with a relaxed mind and a heart full of warmth. All of a sudden, I felt my tiredness lifted off my heart completely this Christmas time.
