Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,”said the teacher to her class.

An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.

“How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom.

“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday. ”

“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh.

Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.

Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.

“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on, ”said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents,

“Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?”

“Yes, Kayla. It is, ”replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place. ”

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph1：

At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go to out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart, but she had no choice. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work. She has begun the work with great unwillingness.

Paragraph 2：

But things began to change as she was doing the chores. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work.

【解析】

這是一篇讀后續(xù)寫作文。

通過閱讀所給文章可知，文章主要記敘了本來以為勞動節(jié)放假可以休息的Kayla，早上被爸爸吵醒，告訴她為了慶祝勞動節(jié)，全家會打掃屋子內(nèi)外。Kayla不明白，父親告訴她這么做是為了讓她明白勞動節(jié)的由來。

續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，第一段開頭是：一開始，Kayla對父母的假期計劃感到失望。所以后文應(yīng)該是講述Kayla內(nèi)心對這個計劃的看法，她雖然反對，但是也別無選擇。講述了Kayla做家務(wù)的經(jīng)過。第二段開頭是：但隨著她開始做家務(wù)，情況開始發(fā)生變化。本段應(yīng)該寫Kayla在做家務(wù)過程中的感受，她發(fā)現(xiàn)了做家務(wù)的樂趣，覺得做家務(wù)有意義。

最后還要注意所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。
