母亲节生日惊喜
原文呈现
When the shrill (尖锐的) ring of the phone echoed (回响) through the living room, Jane was still sleeping. She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the clock on the bedside table. It was already nine o’clock! Though still sleepy, Jane knew she had to get up because her mother had been working in her office day and night for several days, and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was sleeping like a pig, to answer the phone. She quickly put on a coat and dashed into the living room. As she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning, my dear!” It was the voice of her father, a seaman who seldom returned home due to his duties, earning money to support the family. On hearing her father’s voice, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared.
“Good morning, Dad. Why are you calling so early on a weekend?” Jane asked, pretending to be slightly annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday. I have ordered a cake online and it will arrive at our doorstep in the late morning. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.” Upon hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a twinge of embarrassment. How could she have forgotten such an important day!
While chatting with her father, Jane’s eyes wandered around the room, and she saw a lot of dirty clothes scattered (散落) on the sofa. The floor hadn’t been cleaned for a few days, since her mother had been too busy with work to deal with such housework. Looking at the clock again, Jane realized she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother. “Well, Dad, now I'm going to wake Tom up. We will give Mum a surprise, too!” Jane said and hung up the telephone.
文本分析
一、 原文深度解析
1. 故事背景与人物关系
主角:Jane(姐姐,懂事、细心)、Tom(弟弟,配合)、Mother(辛苦的母亲)、Father(海员,远在他乡)。
核心矛盾:母亲连日辛苦工作,Jane 差点忘记母亲生日,内心充满愧疚,急需弥补。
父亲的伏笔:父亲是海员(seaman),很少回家,但特意网购了蛋糕(ordered a cake online),这是故事的导火索和外部推力。
2. 关键情节梳理
开端(Introduction):清晨电话响,Jane 接电话得知是父亲打来的。
发展(Rising Action):父亲告知今天是母亲生日,且网购了蛋糕。Jane 因忘记母亲生日感到尴尬(embarrassment),决定和弟弟一起给母亲准备惊喜。
线索:
家务线索:看到散落的脏衣服(dirty clothes scattered)、地板未打扫(floor hadn’t been cleaned)→ 暗示母亲太累,需要清理。
礼物线索:父亲订的蛋糕 → 必须取回来。
情感线索:从差点忘记的愧疚 → 准备惊喜的期待 → 看到母亲反应的感动。
3. 写作亮点
动作描写:dashed into the living room(冲进客厅)、wandered around the room(环顾房间)。
情感描写:
On hearing her father’s voice, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared.(睡意全无)
Upon hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a twinge of embarrassment.(感到一丝尴尬)(可借鉴表达句式)
修辞:who was sleeping like a pig(睡得像猪一样),生动幽默,常用于描写熟睡状态。

制造氛围:除了打扫,还要有装饰(balloons/banner),提升节日仪式感。
准备收尾:蛋糕取回来,房间布置整洁,所有人等待妈妈回家
第二段构思:感动时刻
承接句:“Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door.
逻辑走向:
妈妈反应:看到整洁的房间和惊喜,感到震惊(surprised)和感动(moved)。
神态描写:使用 be rooted to the ground(呆立在原地)、unable to utter a word(说不出话)、with happy tears rolling down...(热泪盈眶)。
情感高潮:妈妈拥抱孩子,感谢他们。
父亲的呼应:蛋糕登场,一家人一起吃蛋糕,妈妈说出感言。

参考范文
Jane hurried to Tom’s room and shared her plan with him. Though sleepy at first, he soon got excited about surprising their mother. Looking at Tom’s happy face, Jane was full of courage. Without delay, they jumped into action. They tidied the living room, putting away scattered clothes and sweeping the floor. Jane made breakfast while Tom decorated the room with balloons. On hearing the doorbell ring, Jane knew the cake their father had ordered online had arrived and dashed to get it. With everything ready, they waited excitedly for their mother to return.
“Happy birthday, Mum!” the two children shouted when their mother opened the door. Surprised at the touching scene, she was rooted to the ground and her tiredness disappeared at once. So moved was she that she stood still, unable to utter a word. Noticing the tidy clothes, clean floor and warm decorations, she hugged them tightly, with happy tears rolling down her cheeks. They sat together, eating and laughing. Bathed in the warm atmosphere, their mother said gratefully, “This is the best birthday that I have ever had.”

、真题原文(2021 新高考 I 卷)
A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture.
Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
续写两段开头
Paragraph 1:
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.
Paragraph 2:
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.
Paragraph 1
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. Seeing the messy kitchen, the burnt bread and the spilled porridge, he immediately understood what had happened. Instead of blaming them, he wore a warm smile and comforted them, “Don’t worry, my dears. Let’s make it together.” With his help, they cleaned the stove first. Then he showed Jeff how to control the heat properly and guided Jenna to make perfect French toast. Soon, the kitchen was filled with the inviting smell of food again. Everything was ready in no time.
Paragraph 2
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. “Happy Mother’s Day!” they shouted excitedly. Mother opened her eyes slowly, and when she saw the delicious breakfast, her eyes widened in surprise. She sat up immediately and hugged the twins tightly, tears of joy rolling down her cheeks. “This is the sweetest surprise I’ve ever received,” she said with a trembling voice. She tasted the food and praised it repeatedly. At that moment, the whole room was bathed in love and happiness.
