Reading Thinking Plotting Writing The Toy Tree Writing continuation Reading Thinking Plotting Writing Content Reading Thinking Plotting Writing 2 The Toy Tree It was a bare tree with thin branches which looked like they might snap (折断) at any moment, but it was the only tree in the estate gardens. In spring, the tree cheered up the grey concrete with its blossom. And, in summer, its shade comforted the restless heat. Gabe loved the tree. He and his friends played by it all the time. The tree was a blessing for the community, but not for Mr. Snider, the caretaker, who hated the tree. When he had to mow (割) the grass around it or sweep its blossoms or fallen leaves from the path, he would grumble (咕哝), “It’s in my way.” or “Who has to clean up all this mess? Me, that’s who!” Reading Thinking Plotting Writing Sometimes he threatened to cut it down. One morning before the coming New Year, Gabe spotted him walked towards the tree with a chainsaw (电锯). He shouted, “Mum! What’s Mr. Snider doing?” Mum put down her knitting needles - she was knitting everyone scarves and came over to the window. Gabe grabbed her hand and ran down two flights of stairs to the garden. Soon they were standing between Mr. Snider and the tree. “Out of my way,” said the caretaker. “Time for this eyesore (眼中钉) to go.” “This eyesore is of great public interest.” Mum tried to sound important. “And we love this tree,” begged Gabe. “Not a good enough reason.” Mr. Snider was getting his chainsaw ready. Reading Thinking Plotting Writing 4 Gabe desperately tried to think of more reasons to keep the tree, then he remembered the toy tree he’d seen in town. It had colourful gift tags (礼品签) on it and written on every tag was the name of a toy a child had wished for. Mum had explained to him that if someone took a tag and bought the gift on it, the charity would send it to a child who might not get New Year presents. Reading Thinking Plotting Writing Q1: Why did Gabe love the tree? A:Because it brought joy to the community—it had beautiful blossoms in spring, provided shade in summer, and was a place where Gabe and his friends played. Reading Thinking Plotting Writing Q2: Why does Mr. Snider want to cut down the tree? A：He thought the tree was inconvenient—he had to mow grass around it and clean up its fallen leaves/blossoms. He called it an "eyesore." Reading Thinking Plotting Writing Q3: How did Gabe and Mom react when they saw Mr. Snider with a chainsaw? Reading Thinking Plotting Writing A: He panicked, shouted for his mother, and quickly ran to the garden with her to protect the tree. Why did Mom claim the tree “be of public interest”? Was that true according to the given passage? If not, how should you plot the following passage to make the words a truth？ Q4：What did Mr. Snider’s phrase “Not a good enough reason” reveal about his personality? Reading Thinking Plotting Writing A：He was stubborn/pragmatic/unemotional—he dismissed sentimental reasons and only cared about practicality. 9 Reading Thinking Plotting Writing Q5：What does Gabe remember about the "toy tree"? How might this help him save the real tree? A： He remembers a charity tree decorated with gift tags for children’s wishes. He might use this idea to convince Mr. Snider that the real tree can also bring joy 10 Reading Thinking Plotting Writing How do Charity Gift Cards Work? “You buy a charity gift card and somehow it turns up as a goat or sewing machine or clean water on the other side of the world.” “The charity around the world identify the greatest needs in their communities. The gifts in the catalogue meet those needs, allowing children to have the security, health, skills and opportunities they need to grow and develop.” 11 Reading Thinking Plotting Writing How do Charity Gift Cards Work? 12 Reading Thinking Plotting Writing Para.1 Gabe said, “It is going to be a toy tree.” Gabe suggested turning the tree into a toy tree to save it, explaining its purpose. Mr. Snider hesitated, but willing to wait if the idea took off. Gabe and Mum contacted the charity and spread the word, rallying neighbors to embrace the toy tree project. 13 Reading Thinking Plotting Writing Para.2 By the weekend, the charity tags had arrived. Gabe, Mom, and his friends hung tags on the tree, transforming it into a place where wishes could bloom. Families flocked to take tags, donating toys and bonding over shared kindness. The tree, once a target of resentment, became a symbol of unity and a cherished natural treasure. 14 Reading Thinking Plotting Writing Para.1 Gabe said, “It is going to be a toy tree.” Mr. Snider scoffed, “A toy tree? You’re joking.” “No!” Gabe insisted. “We’ll hang tags with kids’ toy wishes. If people take them and buy the gifts, the charity helps needy children.” The caretaker hesitated, chainsaw lowered. “If the estate gets behind this, I’ll hold off cutting it down till New Year’s.” Gabe and Mum sprang into action, knocking on doors and posting flyers. By afternoon, the tree was strung with string, ready for tags. 15 Gabe说：“它要变成一棵玩具树了。”Mr. Snider嗤之以鼻，说道：“玩具树？你在开玩笑吧。”“不！”Gabe坚持道，“我们会在树上挂上写有孩子们玩具愿望的标签。如果有人拿走标签并买下礼物，慈善机构就会帮助那些有需要的孩子。”管理员犹豫了一下，放下了电锯。“如果整个小区都支持这个主意，我就暂时不砍它了，等到新年再说。”Gabe和妈妈立刻行动起来，挨家挨户敲门，还张贴了传单。到了下午，树上已经挂满了绳子，就等着挂标签了。 Reading Thinking Plotting Writing 16 Reading Thinking Plotting Writing Para.2 By the weekend, the charity tags had arrived. The estate buzzed as families gathered, tying colorful slips to the branches—teddy bears, soccer balls, LEGO sets. Mr. Snider watched, grudgingly smiling as kids giggled, reading wishes aloud. By New Year’s Eve, the tree brimmed with gifts, its branches sagging under the weight of generosity. Gabe hugged the trunk, tears in his eyes. The caretaker, unexpectedly, nodded. “Maybe this ‘eyesore’ wasn’t so bad after all.” The tree, once a battleground, became a testament to compassion—and a reminder that even the smallest spaces could nurture kindness and protect nature’s gifts. 17 到了周末，慈善机构寄来的愿望标签如期送达。整个小区热闹起来，家家户户齐聚树下，将写满心愿的彩色纸条系上枝头——有毛绒泰迪熊、足球，还有乐高积木套装。Mr. Snider站在一旁，嘴上虽仍嘟囔着，嘴角却忍不住微微上扬，看着孩子们咯咯笑着大声念出彼此的愿望。等到除夕夜，整棵树已被礼物包裹得满满当当，枝干因沉甸甸的善意而微微低垂。Gabe紧紧抱住树干，眼眶泛红。管理员竟意外地点了点头，喃喃道：“或许这棵‘碍眼树’也没那么糟糕嘛。”这棵曾引发争执的树，最终化作一座慈悲的丰碑——提醒着人们，哪怕方寸之地，也能滋养善意，守护自然馈赠的温暖。 Reading Thinking Plotting Writing 18 $$
