When do you plan to see your students with me?” The other side of the phone asked. “Well, let us make it at Friday if its OK for you!” “OK, see you that day.”Having hung up the phone, I began to recall my days of five months internship(實習生). Two years ago, I took the position of the grade four practice English teacher in the Quan Nan Third Primary School. The moment I left, I promised to the crying students to come back to see them. Now the day came. What should I bring to them? I considered this question with a pen twirled around my fingers. Pen? A scene rose before my eyes that those children hold alreadyshort pencils writing on their papers. Pens were exactly what they needed. It was the best choice. So I went to a shop to choose 106 pens for my 106 students. I began the trip with a heavy bag of pens. Upon my arrival at school, dozens of students crowded forward and I was soon surrounded by the jumping boys and girls. “Miss Xiao, you finally come.We have been looking forward to your coming all the time!” said Li Yan, a well-performed girl. “Nice to meet you again!” I greeted to them. “Nice to meet you, too!” A voice came from the corner of the class. It was Miao Chen, a boy whose uncontrollable behavior had always driven me crazy. I was surprised at his reaction for my appearance. “Oh, your English is much better than before!” “He has been learning to learn English since you left!” A boy called out. “He once said he missed you!” Another boy shouted. The crowded exploded with laughter. Miao Chen turned aside to hide his shyness. I came to him and put my hand on his shoulder, “I believe you are a good boy.”He raised his head and smiled brightly. 注意:1.所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應為150左右;2.應使用5個以上短文中標有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語;3.續(xù)寫部分分為兩段,每段的開頭語已為你寫好;4.續(xù)寫完成后,請用下劃線標出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語。Paragraph 1“This time I bring some presents for you.”    Paragraph 2When it was time to go,     參考范文Paragraph 1“This time I bring some presents for you.”O(jiān)n hearing the news, the children could not help clapping hands and jumping around. There were 106 students and each person had one. “Miss Xiao, why do you give us gifts?” asked Miao Chen. “Its for souvenir.” I replied. “But why choose pen?” He asked again.“You can use it to record what happened every single day.I hope you study happily and write your own life.” I explained. He nodded without fully understanding. Paragraph 2When it was time to go,they all came to see me off. They were reluctant to part with me again. “Miss Xiao, will you teach us in the future?” Li Yan asked. “Maybe not.” I turned around. “You mean this is the last time we meet?”Li Yan whispered disappointedly.“If we have a chance to meet some day, show me the pen and let me know you, OK?”I tried to comfort them. “OK!” They made a rapid response to me. At sunset I left them. I came with 106 pens in the bag, while I went with full love in my heart. 6
