内容正文:
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
My first school was “Happy School”. It was actually my kindergarten. My second school was “General Ra’s”, a local school. Both were English-medium schools, which meant English was supposed to be the primary language of communication. However, despite having some excellent teachers, there just wasn't enough focus on spoken English or literature. A s a result, until the fifth-grade year, I was still reading mostly Hindi(印地语) comics, and was hesitant to use English in everyday life.
And then I joined DPS, which was, at that time, the best school, purely from an academic perspective. I felt like a Panda bear that has been pushed into a club of adult grizzlies (灰熊). All around me, English was genuinely used as the medium of communication, while I hadn't even read an English book. I was deeply embarrassed.
Though I've always been a bit shy, I'm also stubborn—— more stubborn than a donkey (驴). I didn't want to give up. I desperately wanted to improve my English.
However, my school life was purely painful from an English subject perspective. To make matters worse, my English teacher, Mrs. Sabrina, was a tough woman from South India who had little patience for my struggles. She adored Paddy, another South Indian student whose English was perfect. Paddy could sing “Silent Night, Holy Night” effortlessly, while I struggled with every word. Mrs. Sabrina often called on me to read aloud, making me nervous and further weakening my confidence. Her favorite punishment was pulling my ear, which, as anyone who has experienced it knows, is painfully effective.
One day, Mrs. Sabrin a asked me to read a passage from a textbook in front of the class. My hands trembled as I held the book, and my voice wavered with every word. The class erupted in laughter, and Mrs. Sabrina pulled my ear so hard that tears welled up in my eyes. Uncomfortable with the language, I felt as if I didn't belong to such an English-medium school.
After this embarrassing English class, I decided I had to do something to change my situation.

9.本文属于人与自我:克服自身短板、突破英语学习困境的成长故事
二.情节构造
衔接 1→How would the writer deal with the difficulties encountered? ←衔接 2
(解析:衔接 1 聚焦 “具体行动”,衔接 2 聚焦 “遇到的困难”,过渡句需搭建两者的桥梁,即 “作者如何应对这些困难”,使情节从 “采取行动” 自然过渡到 “克服阻碍”,逻辑更连贯。)
过渡句推演(第二段)
衔接 3→How did this remarkable thing reflect the writer's change and the value of his efforts? ←主题
(解析:衔接 3 聚焦 “发生的具体事件”,主题是 “坚持努力可突破困境、实现成长”,过渡句需将 “事件” 与 “主题” 关联,即通过事件体现作者的转变和努力的意义,让 “显著变化” 紧扣核心主题。)
主题:坚持不懈的努力能突破学习困境,实现自我成长
三、段落构思
第一段
After this embarrassing English class, I decided I had to do something to change my situation.
→①I borrowed simple English storybooks from the school library and spent an hour reading them every evening, marking new words in a notebook.
→②When I encountered words I didn’t understand, I asked my elder sister for help or looked them up in a dictionary, even if it slowed down my reading.
→③Mrs. Sabrina still called on me sometimes, and I still stumbled, but I no longer froze—instead, I kept trying to finish reading, ignoring the occasional snickers from classmates.
英文:After this embarrassing English class, I decided I had to do something to change my situation. I borrowed easy English storybooks from the school library and spent an hour reading them each evening, noting down new words in a notebook. Whenever I came across unfamiliar words, I turned to my elder sister for help or checked them in a dictionary, even if it made my reading slow. Mrs. Sabrina still called on me occasionally, and I still stumbled over sentences, but I no longer froze up—I kept pushing to finish reading, paying no attention to the occasional snickers from my classmates.
第二段
By the end of my eighth-grade year, something remarkable happened.
→④Mrs. Sabrina asked the class to recite a poem, and to everyone’s surprise, I raised my hand first.
→⑤I recited the poem clearly and fluently, and when I finished, the class broke into applause—even Mrs. Sabrina nodded and smiled at me.
→⑥Later, she praised my progress in front of the whole class, and I finally realized that my persistent efforts had paid off.
