There was a story that all the kids at my school told. I don’t know if they believed it but some of them certainly acted as if they did. On the way from my home to school there was a little old cottage. You could only just see the cottage, as if it were trying to hide itself behind the trees and bushy garden. At times the children had seen a little old woman make her way along the leaf-covered path from the front door to the mailbox. Her fingers were twisted in funny shapes, her body was bent over and her back hunched (弓背). If she lifted her head to look at you, her face was all wrinkly. “The witch at Number 97” was how most kids spoke of her. “Don’t look in her eyes,” you could hear them say. “She’ll capture you in a magic spell (魔咒), take you into the house and never release you again.”
In the mornings and at the end of the day, my friends and I would pass Number 97 in a group. We felt safer and more secure in numbers. But now, I played the recorder so well that I was asked to join the school band, and that meant staying after school one afternoon a week to rehearse (排练), so I had to walk home all by myself.
I set out as I normally would but as I began to approach the little old cottage it looked scarier than ever. For a while I hesitated, not knowing what to do. I wanted to run but felt I really needed to just walk my way as usual. I took some deep breaths and tried to think of something different: Home, supper and my bed. When I started thinking about the witch again, the cottage appeared big and frightening in my thoughts. “No,” I said to myself, “concentrate on how good it will feel to get home,” and with that I started to feel easier.

文章大意
学校里流传着一个关于 97 号小屋的故事,传说小屋中有个女巫。从家到学校的路上会经过这座被树木和茂密花园遮挡的小屋,孩子们有时能看到一个身形佝偻、手指扭曲、满脸皱纹的老妇人从屋前小路走向信箱。大家都认为她是女巫,传言不能直视她的眼睛,否则会被施咒抓走。作者和朋友们通常结伴经过小屋,觉得人多更安全。但作者因参加学校乐队排练,每周有一个下午要独自回家,当独自靠近小屋时,内心十分恐惧,她试图通过深呼吸和转移注意力来克服恐惧。
故事山分析
目标:作者要克服对 97 号小屋及屋内 “女巫” 的恐惧,平安回家。
阻碍:内心对 “女巫” 的恐惧以及小屋神秘恐怖的氛围,让作者不敢靠近。
努力:作者尝试深呼吸、转移注意力,试图像平常一样走过小屋。
结果:与 “女巫” 有了接触,发现她并非如传言般可怕,克服了恐惧。
意外:原本以为会被 “女巫” 伤害,结果 “女巫” 非常友善,还向作者倾诉了自己的故事。
转折:从极度恐惧到与 “女巫” 建立联系,态度发生了 180 度大转变。
伏笔以及在续写中的回应
伏笔:孩子们认为老妇人是女巫,有魔力会施咒抓人。回应:续写中可以写作者走近小屋时,想象着被施咒的可怕场景,而实际接触后发现老妇人很和蔼,打破了这种恐惧的幻想。
伏笔:作者因参加乐队排练要独自回家经过小屋。回应:为作者与老妇人的单独接触创造机会,推动故事发展,如独自经过时被老妇人叫住等。
伏笔:小屋被树木和花园遮挡,显得很神秘。回应:在续写中可以描述作者靠近小屋时,看到花园中奇特的植物,增加神秘氛围,而后来发现这些植物是老妇人的爱好。
伏笔:作者试图通过深呼吸和转移注意力来克服恐惧。回应:可以写在与老妇人交流后,作者发现自己之前的恐惧是多余的,学会了战胜内心的恐惧。
伏笔:孩子们结伴经过小屋觉得安全。回应:与作者独自面对小屋的恐惧形成对比,突出作者独自面对时的心理压力,也为后来作者克服恐惧后的成长做铺垫。
续写要点(两段)
第一段:重点描写作者到达 97 号小屋前大门时的惊恐状态,如心跳加速、双腿发软等。可以描述老妇人的突然出现以及她的举动,比如老妇人叫住作者,作者的第一反应是想逃跑,但又因好奇或礼貌而停下,老妇人可能会询问作者为何如此害怕,引发后续交流。
第二段:主要讲述作者与老妇人逐渐熟悉的过程,以及了解到的老妇人的悲伤故事。比如老妇人可能曾经失去了家人,独自生活,那些被孩子们误解的行为其实是她思念家人的表现。最后作者克服了对小屋和老妇人的恐惧,还可能会经常去看望老妇人,与她成为朋友。
情感线
起初作者和其他孩子一样,对 97 号小屋和 “女巫” 充满恐惧,这种恐惧在独自回家靠近小屋时达到顶点。当与老妇人有了初步接触,作者的恐惧中夹杂着好奇和紧张。随着了解的深入,作者发现老妇人的善良,恐惧逐渐消散,取而代之的是同情和友善,最后与老妇人建立起深厚的情感,克服了内心的恐惧。

主旨升华句
Appearances can be deceiving, and we should never judge others based on unfounded rumors and superstitions.(外表可能具有欺骗性,我们绝不应基于毫无根据的谣言和迷信来评判他人。)
Through understanding, we can break down the barriers of fear and prejudice, and discover the kindness hidden beneath the surface.(通过理解,我们可以打破恐惧和偏见的障碍,发现隐藏在表面之下的善良。)
True courage lies not in the absence of fear, but in facing it bravely and overcoming it with an open heart.(真正的勇气不在于没有恐惧,而在于勇敢地面对它,并以开放的心态克服它。)
Every person has a story to tell, and taking the time to listen can transform our perception of them and the world around us.(每个人都有自己的故事,花时间去倾听可以改变我们对他们以及周围世界的看法。)
This encounter taught me that the scariest things in life are often the ones we create in our own minds, and that reaching out can lead to unexpected friendships and beautiful connections.(这次相遇让我明白,生活中最可怕的事情往往是我们自己心中虚构出来的,而主动接触他人可以带来意想不到的友谊和美好的联系。)
写作示范
示范一
But as I reached the front gate to Number 97, my heart almost stopped. The old woman stood right there, looking directly at me. Her eyes were not the menacing ones I had imagined, but gentle and kind. “You look scared, dear,” she said softly. I froze, not knowing what to do. She then invited me in for a cup of tea. Against my better judgment, I followed her. Inside, the cottage was filled with strange but lovely plants. She explained that she loved gardening.
From then on, I visited her after every rehearsal and gradually knew her sad story. Her only daughter had passed away many years ago, and she had been living alone since then. The plants in her garden were like her companions. I realized how wrong we kids had been. She was not a witch at all, but a kind - hearted old lady. I was glad I had overcome my fear and made a new friend.
示范二
But as I reached the front gate to Number 97, my heart almost stopped. My legs trembled, and I was on the verge of running away. Just then, the old woman opened the door. “Are you okay, child?” she asked with concern. Her voice was so warm that I found myself calming down a bit. She smiled and asked if I wanted to see her collection of old books. Curiosity got the better of me, and I nodded.
From then on, I visited her after every rehearsal and gradually knew her sad story. She had been an artist before, but an accident had left her with a hunched back. People's strange looks and rumors had made her withdraw from the world. I was sad for her and angry at how we had misjudged her. Now, I couldn't wait to tell my friends that the “witch” was actually a wonderful person.
【答案】One possible version:
But as I reached the front gate to Number 97, my heart almost stopped. There was the “witch” with a wrinkled face! I was about to run away when she suddenly said gently. “Come in, dear. Let’s have a chat.” My mind went blank. I had no choice but to follow her and entered the cottage. Surprisingly, she brought me tea and tasty snacks, which made me less uneasy. Through our conversation, I learned that she was Mrs. Walcott and she turned out to be kind and warm-hearted. We soon became familiar with each other.
From then on, I visited her after every rehearsal and gradually knew her sad story. Her husband and son were lost to a car accident. After that, she had been living in the cottage alone for a long time. Feeling sorry for her, I wrote her story in my homework. Soon her story was spread across the whole school. All the students were ashamed of their previous misunderstanding, which led them to keep her company. Since then, there had been a lot of laughter in Mrs Walcott’s cottage.
