1“Jordi! Wake up!”Dad's voice calls from the hallway,and I sit up quickly.Today is the day!The day that I will finally be a casteller—a castle builder.

2My city is hosting today's competition. Never before have I been part of the tower. It was so high.And it sometimes fell.I was hesitant to be up there.Today,for the first time in a competition,I will help build the tower!

3In town,I see that the center of the square is already packed with people.While I am waiting for our turn to compete,my friend Tomeu comes to stand with me.“What if I'm not ready for this, Tomeu?”I ask. Tomeu's dark eyes sparkle as he smiles at me.“We are never ready,Jordi.None of us who compete knows for sure how it will go.”He gestures towards the tower going up in front of us.“Just like these people, you must have faith in others. You must trust those below who lift you up, and you must trust yourself.”Tomeu pats me on the shoulder.“Have focus. Have faith.”I nod to show that I understand. I will do my best to follow his suggestions.Soon,too soon,it is our turn.

4Dad and several strong men make the base for our tower. Four smaller men create a strong second level. Our tower is growing taller and taller. I watch as Mom climbs nimbly(敏捷地)up.She and my aunt form the fifth level.

5Then suddenly it is my turn. Tomeu and I will make up the sixth level. Each of the castellers wears a waist belt, and I hold the belts tightly with my bare toes as I climb up. I pass the first two levels without difficulty,but as I go higher,the tower feels less steady.By the time I reach the fifth level, nerves make my hands sweat and my knees tremble, for I am very high off the ground.

三、續寫技能

讀后續寫中，情緒描寫有兩種方法：一種是直接描寫法，即句子中直接出現表達情緒的單詞；另外一種是間接描寫法，通過表情和動作來體現某種情緒。大部分讀后續寫的故事中，人物是從“負向”情緒，最終轉化到“正向”情緒的。

●“負向”情緒之恐懼、絕望

恐懼:

1. He turned to me, with his eyes full of horror. 他轉向我，眼中滿是驚恐。（間接描寫）

2. Realizing what had happened, a flood of fear welled up in him. 意識到發生了什么，一陣恐懼涌上他的心頭。（直接描寫）

3.At the sight of the wolf,I froze with terror.一看到狼，我嚇得僵住了。（間接描寫）

4.At the sight of the wolf,I felt that my throat tightened and my knees felt weak.一看到狼，我感到喉嚨發緊，膝蓋發軟。（間接描寫）

絕望:

1.Tony felt hopeless/desperate.托尼感到絕望。（直接描寫）

2. Tony was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness and sank into hopelessness. 托尼突然陷入了一個黑暗的世界，并且陷入了絕望。（間接描寫）

●“正向”情緒之快樂

1.Seeing her present,she was overflowing with happiness.一看到她的禮物，她充滿了幸福。（直接描寫）

2.Joy welled up inside her.她心中涌起了喜悅。（直接描寫）

3. Hearing this, everybody was wild with joy. 一聽到這句話，每個人都欣喜若狂。（直接描寫）

4.To his joy,his son won first prize in the English Speech Contest.令他高興的是，他的兒子在英語演講比賽中獲得了一等獎。（直接描寫）

5.Laughter lingered around the room.笑聲在房間里縈繞。（間接描寫）

6. She laughed, with her eyes shining with excitement. 她笑了，眼睛里閃爍著興奮的光芒。（間接描寫）

7. Her face lit up/brightened/glowed with pleasure when I gave her the present. 當我給她禮物時，她的臉上煥發出了光彩。（間接描寫）

8. A bright smile appeared on/spread across her face when she saw the present. 當她看到禮物時，她的臉上露出了燦爛的笑容。（間接描寫）

四、續寫布局

根據續寫第一段的段首句“我把腳放進媽媽的腰帶里，試著站起來，但腳滑脫了?！笨芍?，第一段內容應描寫活動中出現的一些狀況。再結合續寫第二段的段首句可知，“我們”的塔完成了。由此倒推，“我們”并沒有因為突發狀況而放棄。因而，續寫第一段還可以描寫“我們”的應對措施。具體情節發展，可根據以下問題鏈推測：

1.How do I feel?

2.What do I do next?

3.How do my team members react?

根據續寫第二段的段首句“Tomeu 和我抓住彼此的胳膊，我們的塔完成了?！笨芍?，“我們”的人堆城堡建得非常成功。“我”會有哪些情感變化和感悟呢？具體情節發展，可根據以下問題鏈推測：

1.How do I feel at that moment?

2.What lesson do I learn from this experience?
