She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order. There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn't counted on: My brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50 - pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock over my niece's small boys and my six - month - old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside. My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started to rain and everyone went indoors. It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother wasn't happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue. A few days passed, and I hadn't heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: "Not a chance." Clearly, he was unhappy over the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he'll get over it, I reasoned. Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he should call first. However, my conscience(良心) kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother's shoes. He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty - five years had passed away a few months earlier. Toby was his constant companion, the one who kept him going. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I realized it was me who was at fault. _____ With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother's door. _____ 一 续写策略 读后续写要求考生能有效把握文章的写作意图和人物的情感态度，读懂所给材料的故事情节和行文结构，紧紧围绕所给材料的故事主题，对故事的发展和结局进行合理想象和创作。 01 精读原文，厘清脉络 给出材料的故事情节是续写部分的“指南针”，指引着续写的方向。仔细阅读原文，厘清故事情节、人物关系、矛盾冲突、情感发展等关键信息，才能在构思新的续写时做到前后文逻辑、内容和语言的连贯性与一致性。 02 细读首句，构思框架 研读给定的两段开头语 “I realized it was me who was at fault.” 和 “With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother's door”，可以确定续写的大致方向。在第一段中详细描述主人公意识到错误后的内心活动和想法；在第二段中重点描写主人公与弟弟见面时的场景和对话，展现和解的过程。 03修改润色，完善优化 优化语言表达，使用恰当准确的词汇和短语、高级丰富的句式表达；添加细节描写，运用生动的动作描写、灵活的对话描写、细致的心理描写和丰富的环境描写来为文章增添色彩； 注意前后衔接，保持文章结构清晰、语意连贯、逻辑合理、行文流畅。 二．写作指导 【前文梗概】 我的妻子和我认为家人朋友多年未聚，于是决定在后院举行老友家庭party，但是自己 ... ...
