一篇優秀的讀后續寫不僅要準確地敘述一個故事,還要使敘述的故事出彩。這要求寫作者具備扎實的語言功底,同時能靈活、準確地使用各種文學性的表達手法。但很多同學在進行續寫的時候只關注情節的建構和句型、短語的表達,全文缺乏對主旨句的提升,文章缺乏感染力,無法使讀者進行深度思考和引起共鳴。
主旨句是全文的收筆處,精彩的結尾能夠起到點睛的作用。而“改變與成長”類讀后續寫的主旨句更能讓文章立意深刻。
“改變與成長”是讀后續寫中的重要主題,在續寫第二段的結尾處,我們往往需要寫一些主旨句來點明文章的主題和要宣揚的價值觀。讀后續寫情感升華的結尾主旨句要求有較高的立意,這樣的結尾能夠產生強烈的藝術感染力。怎么寫“改變與成長”類讀后續寫的主旨句呢?我們可以根據“改變”的因素來學習不同的表達。我們可以把“改變”的因素分為以下幾類,進行歸納總結。
第一類:學習知識促“改變與成長”;
第二類:發揮天賦促“改變與成長”;
第三類:追逐夢想促“改變與成長”;
第四類:克服困難促“改變與成長”;
第五類:戰勝恐懼促“改變與成長”;
第六類:戰勝自卑促“改變與成長”;
第七類:戰勝消極促“改變與成長”。
閱讀下面短文,根據所給情節進行續寫,使之構成一個完整的故事。
Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength.Everyone has his own weakness, but life always offers his unexpected strength in his misfortune.We'd make full use of it just like the girl below;we are certainly fortunate to be given other blessings.
This is a story of one girl who decided to study judo (柔道) despite the fact that she had lost her left arm in a car accident.The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor.The girl was doing well.But she couldn't understand why, after three months of training,the instructor had taught her only one move.
“Instructor,”the girl finally said,“shouldn't I learn more moves?It isn't far enough to learn just this.”
“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know,”the instructor replied.
Not quite understanding, but believing in her instructor, the girl kept training.She didn't dare to complain about anything and it was apparent that since her instructor said so,she had to follow without any unhappiness.
Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament.Surprising herself, the girl easily won her first two matches.The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and charged.The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match.Still amazed by her success,the girl was in the finals.
This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced.For a while, the girl appeared to be defeated.Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee (裁判)called a timeout.She was about to stop the match when the instructor interrupted.
“No,”the instructor insisted,“let her continue.”
Soon after the match started again, her opponent made a critical mistake: she dropped her guard.Instantly, the girl used her move to hold her opponent tightly.The girl had won the match and the tournament.She was the champion.

這篇文章是以第三人稱的視角講述一個失去左臂的女孩學習柔道的故事。經過三個月的訓練,老師只教了她一個動作。她卻憑借這一關鍵動作參加比賽并贏得冠軍。我們可以用“5W原則”來分析文章結構和內容:

(加黑部分為主旨句。)
Paragraph 1:
On the way home,the girl and her instructor reviewed every move in each and every match.Then the girl took courage to ask what was really on her mind.“Instructor,how did I win the tournament with only one move?Is there any magic power about it?Is my opponent much weaker than me? Please tell me the secret.”She couldn't wait to know the answer,but the instructor appeared unhurried.Finally,he opened his mouth.
Paragraph 2:
“Two reasons account for your win,”the instructor answered.“First,you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo.Second,the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”Hearing these words, she was suddenly enlightened.The journey to success is not smooth.It is full of challenges and difficulties.We should be brave to face our weaknesses.As long as we don't give up hope and make every effort to overcome all the difficulties, our weaknesses can also become our strengths.
閱讀下面短文,根據所給情節進行續寫,使之構成一個完整的故事。
At the age of six, I fell in love with art.In grade school, art on Fridays was what I looked forward to each week.I remember making ornaments (裝飾品) out of cardboard paper rolls.
All through school, art was my main interest because there were no mistakes to be made.Art provided self-esteem,love and a natural high like runners get.I loved staying up late drawing and listening to Johnny Cash.When I was doing Indian ink drawings, time stood still and I could see the ink filling the minute crevices(裂隙)in the paper.
There was a love affair with certain brushes and pencils.In the late fifties,my parents moved the family from a small town in Minn to the big city of Seattle.No woods to explore,so I would get up early in the morning and take my red wagon around to collect things that people placed on the roadside for the garbage man to pick up.I found great treasures.
At the age of twenty-two, I was working as a mechanic and fell in love with worn out gears (齒輪) and sprockets (鏈輪).My foreman showed me how to run a bead (珠子) of weld (焊接) and I practiced welding by creating art out of the scrap iron that we set out for the scrap man.Now at the age of sixty-five, I use a boom truck and a trailer to gather my scrap iron I refer to as rusty gold.
I had always had a dream of one day having a sculpture park for people to come and see my creations.There were a lot of rejections along the way from museums to art galleries and at the time they were negatives which fueled a fire inside me to create my own museum and gallery.I now realize those negatives had to happen in order for me to create a fouracre sculpture park at the base of Mount Rainer ten miles before the west entrance to the national park.
