丑小鴨還是白天鵝？

廣東 程志麗

Mohi每周一總會遲到而且穿著怪異，成了一些同學的“快樂源泉”。常被忽略的他，會參加教師節音樂會嗎?

1The whole class burst out laughing as Mohi rushed into the classroom.He was a strange sight.His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama top (睡衣上衣)underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he wore a pair of bright green sandals (涼鞋) that were too big.The physics teacher's hand froze in the middle of writing something on the blackboard.

2Mohi mumbled,“Sorry, teacher.”and scuttled to his seat.Mr Tan glared at the rest of the students.The chuckles (輕聲笑) quickly subsided (趨于平靜).Mohi's classmates always looked forward to Mondays.Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi's late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing.That day,it was the pajama top and green sandals.

3Mohi lived just a street away from the school.He walked to school daily.Students passing by in buses would yell his name in unison just to see him jump and stop in his tracks.When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly.Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends.His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time.Only Hamed,who sat next to Mohi,tried to be his friend.

4The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school.His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him.After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi's house to check on him.As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music.Mohi must be listening to music, he thought.The gate was not locked.Hamed let himself in.He called Mohi's name a few times but there was no response.The music played on.Hamed looked in through a window.His eyes widened in surprise.In the middle of the living room, Mohi was playing the violin.His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly.He played flawlessly so much so that it sounded like a recording.Hamed left quietly.

5Teachers' Day came around.It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers.Every class had to contribute a performance.

四、續寫布局

根據續寫第一段段首句的內容“在全班討論表演的前一天，Hamed 有了一個計劃”，結合第二段段首句的內容“音樂會當天，看到學校最笨拙的學生拿著小提琴走上舞臺，老師和同學們都感到十分驚訝”，可推測續寫第一段的主要內容是Hamed 成功說服了全班同學讓Mohi 上臺表演。續寫第一段應介紹Hamed 的計劃內容及他為計劃付諸的行動。具體情節發展，可根據以下問題鏈推測：

1.What was the plan or what did Hamed do to conduct his plan?

2.How would Mohi respond?

3.What did Hamed do to persuade the whole class?

4.Did the class agree or not at last?

根據續寫第二段段首句的內容“音樂會當天，看到學校最笨拙的學生拿著小提琴走上舞臺，老師和同學們都感到十分驚訝”，可推測續寫第二段的主要內容是Mohi的表演驚艷了所有人，并自此得到大家的關注，且Mohi 和Hamed 成了好朋友。具體情節發展，可根據以下問題鏈推測：

1.How did the teachers and students feel when they heard Mohi playing the violin?

2.When Mohi finished his performance,what did his classmates and teachers do?

3.What changed Mohi?

4.Did Mohi and Hamed become good friends?
