恩師在側，時光如蜜

廣東 程志麗

深受家庭困擾，“我”的成績一落千丈。 班主任賈斯廷夫人關注到“我”的變化，并從此走進“我”的生活……

1It was a most difficult period. Things at home were getting from bad to worse. Dad became frustrated and more silent, especially after he was told that he couldn't continue working. Mum was always temperamental (喜怒無常的) as she could not make ends meet with her low income as a factory operator. I had been an above-average student, but now I was doing poorly in school.

2I was very afraid of coming home after school.Dad would come home late and went straight into his room, refusing to communicate with Mum and I. When he fell asleep, I would often hear Mum's repeated helpless sighs. I could do nothing to ease the depressing situation at home and this realization caused me a great deal of pain and frustration.

3It was at this point that Mrs Justin entered my life. A soft-spoken woman in her late forties, she was my class teacher. As alert as she was, she quickly noticed the change that had come over me. One day, during break, I was standing alone in one corner of the canteen when Mrs Justin spotted me. She gestured for me to follow her. We headed for the library where she signaled me to take a seat next to her. I sat with my head bent. “Helen,” she called. I lifted my head and looked at her. I saw the warmth, the love, and the compassion in her lovely eyes. Tears welled up in my eyes and I tried my best to hold them back. However, I could not. They started flowing down my cheeks. She held my hands and waited. When I had finished,she asked me if I wanted to tell her my problem. I told her. She listened in concentration with the patience of a saint. At the end of my story, she gave me a lesson on life and its ups and downs. As I heard her talk, my admiration for this woman grew. Something in me changed. Before this meeting, I had felt I was a failure. However, as the meeting progressed, I felt different. I knew Mrs Justin cared about me.

根據續寫第一段的段首句“接下來的日子里，賈斯廷夫人幫助了我很多”和續寫第二段的段首句“考試結束后，賈斯廷夫人宣布我是班上的尖子生”可推測，續寫第一段的內容應圍繞賈斯廷夫人給予“我”幫助，以及“我”信心滿滿地迎接考試而展開。 寫作時，可結合原文對賈斯廷夫人的描述——溫柔、敏感等性格特點推測賈斯廷夫人可能給予的幫助。 具體情節發展，可根據以下問題鏈推測：

1. How did Mrs Justin help me?

2. How did I feel and what would I do?

3. What kind of change would I make?

4. How did I feel about the exam?

根據續寫第二段的段首句“考試結束后，賈斯廷夫人宣布我是班上的尖子生”和原文提到的賈斯廷夫人教授“我”人生道理可推測，續寫第二段應圍繞“我”“逆襲”成功的喜悅、對賈斯廷夫人的欽佩和感恩，以及賈斯廷夫人對“我”的人生啟迪而展開。具體情節發展，可根據以下問題鏈推測：

1. How did I feel?
