Avoid weak continuation
A believable story repairs the real problem.
• make the noodles suddenly fancy
• only write everyone praises the food
• ignore Maya’s question
• turn the ending into an award story
Better direction
Let characters act on clues: Clues → Sensory Detail → Choice Chain.

Reference skeleton
Use the logic, not the wording.
Paragraph 1 logic
read the notebook → ask grandmother for the method → restore the title → cook without rushing → connect ingredients to memory
Paragraph 2 logic
carry the pot to the fair → show the notebook → answer Maya’s question → tell the family story → reflect on ordinary food
Do not copy a model blindly. Check if every action grows from the original text.
