“Amy决定回家为母亲庆祝生日”
2026届广州市高三年级调研测试试题英语-读后续写
This was only Amy’s first year at SunRay Tech, yet she already felt like an old hand.
She read market reports on the subway, ate salad at her desk, and even practised her
presentation while brushing her hair. Her small apartment, a thousand miles from home, witnessed all her efforts: notes, charts and presentation drafts covered the living-room table.
“Amy, you’re on fire!” her manager laughed one Monday. The words kept Amy smiling all afternoon. Then a company e-mail arrived:
Amy, congratulations! You are this year’s Outstanding New Employee. Please give an
eight-minute speech at the company’s annual meeting on Sunday morning.
Amy’s heart jumped. She read the message again and again. That night she sat at her desk and wrote about the coffee that grew cold, the code that finally worked at 2 a.m., and the pride she felt when her first project helped the team win a new client.
Yet, from time to time, a faint guilt brushed her heart.She remembered her mother’s soft voice in their last video call: “Don’t work too hard, sweetheart. You’re already great. Come home for a rest.” Each time Amy whispered to herself, “Next month, Mum—on your birthday.”
She spent the next evenings perfecting every word and gesture. On Saturday evening she felt ready. Then the phone rang. It was Dad.
“Amy, tomorrow’s your mum’s fiftieth birthday. We’re planning a simple lunch. When are you coming home?”
Mum’s birthday! How could I forget? Shame washed over Amy. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. The meeting, the carefully prepared speech and her colleagues’ proud smiles all suddenly felt heavy in her chest.
“Dad, the company’s annual meeting is also tomorrow... I was supposed to give a speech as the Outstanding New Employee...” Her voice was tight with conflict.
“Oh, congratulations, sweetie. I understand—it’s a big day. Your mum will be so proud...”
Amy remained frozen for a moment, not knowing how the call ended. Then her eye fell on her family photo on the desk, with her parents on either side.
Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, she knew what she had to do.
With a light heart, Amy booked the earliest flight home.
