Section Ⅳ　Writing a story about a misunderstanding in English

　　Last summer， I stayed with a British host family.One day， I was really surprised when Jeremy， the son of the family， told me that we would have toad-in-the-hole for dinner.I wasn’t sure whether we were going to eat a real toad in a hole.If so， how terrible！ I joined them at dinner time with butterflies in my stomach.To my astonishment， a dish of sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding （a mix that tastes a bit like pancakes） was served on the table， and it tasted delicious.It turned out that toad-in-the-hole is a typical dish for a British dinner， and there’s no toad！ What an amazing experience！ It was interesting to try such yummy food with a strange name.

学语言

　　从体裁上，要求写一篇记叙文，因此写作内容要求有时间、地点、人物、事件等要素。题目要求写一篇有关误解的故事，因此范文特别突出“误解”一词，文章用到感叹句“how terrible！”和“What an amazing experience！”，用到表示困惑、惊讶的表达“with butterflies in my stomach”，“To my astonishment”，“amazing”，把对这道菜的误解进行了生动地描绘。

范文多次用到复合句，例如：

I was really surprised when ...

I wasn’t sure whether ...

It turned out that ...

学写法

文章主要分为三部分：

第一部分：主要交代故事发生的时间、地点、人物以及事件；

第二部分：主要叙述故事引发的困惑、误解等；

第三部分：主要交代结果，消除误会。
