(2)How did the twins react? (3)How did the father help them make breakfast? 续写的第一段首句讲的当双胞胎失望地环顾四周时，父亲出现。接着应该写父亲的具体做法：父亲处理Jeff受伤的手，帮助他们清理厨房，指导他们熬稀粥、煎面包，最后双胞胎变得开心，早餐做好。 2．针对续写第二段首句设问： (1)What was the mother’s reaction when she saw the breakfast? (2)What was the conversation between the mother and the twins? (3)How did the father explain what had happened? (4)What was the end of the story? 续写第二段首句说双胞胎端着早餐上楼，把母亲叫醒。接着应该写母亲看到早餐后很惊讶，父亲出现解释事情经过，母亲开心而又骄傲，然后母亲拥抱双胞胎，感叹这是一个难忘的母亲节。 第三步　恰当用词　打造靓句 1．看到厨房里一片狼藉，他立刻明白发生了什么，但他并不沮丧。 Seeing the mess in the kitchen，he immediately understood what had happened，but he wasn’t upset. 2．他往杰夫的手上涂了些药，然后开始帮他们收拾残局，扔掉烧焦的吐司。 He applied some medicine to Jeff’s hand，and then set out to help them clean up the mess，throwing away the burnt toast. 3．她睁开眼睛，不敢相信自己所看到的一切。 Opening her eyes，she couldn’t believe what she had seen. 4．他告诉妻子双胞胎是如何准备给她惊喜早餐，以及他们在做粥和烤面包时经历了什么麻烦。 He told his wife about how the twins had made preparations to give her the surprise breakfast，and what trouble they had gone through when making the porridge and toast. 5．怀疑让位于兴奋和骄傲。 Disbelief gave way to excitement and pride. 第四步　衔接过渡　组句成篇 在确定了思路和内容之后，续写时，要注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。 参考范文 As the twins looked around them in disappointment，their father appeared.Seeing the mess in the kitchen，he immediately understood what had happened，but he wasn’t upset.Instead，he applied some medicine to Jeff’s hand，and then set out to help them clean up the mess，throwing away the burnt toast.Next，they began to make breakfast，and by now the twins looked cheerful.Before long，the porridge was ready.Their father instructed them to fry the rest of the bread.Soon，the toast was ready，too. The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.Opening her eyes，she couldn’t believe what she had seen.Before she could ask any question，their father turned up.He told his wife about how the twins had made preparations to give her the surprise breakfast，and what trouble they had gone through when making the porridge and toast.Disbelief gave way to excitement and pride.Hugging them in her arms，she said，“Thank you，children.It’s such an unforgettable Mother’s Day for me.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
