Penny was a little girl who lived in Alaska. It was ice-cold there. She kept praying that she could play in green and warm gardens like we do. But of course, she couldn't.

Her father, like all the men there, didn't have a job. He hunted seals and caught fishes, as was the custom. So her father hadn't even heard of money and even if he had money, there weren't any aeroplanes to take them abroad.

Near Penny's house was a deep, dark forest.Everyone was afraid to enter it. They said that whoever entered it would be sucked in by a magic hole.

One day, Penny was playing with her Eskimo friends when one of the boys shouted, “Hey, I dare one of you to enter the magic forest.”

No one dared. Penny picked up a twig and threw it at the edge of the forest. Nothing happened.Penny felt astonished. “It's all a legend! We can play hide-and-seek in the woods if we want,” she thought. She walked slowly towards the woods. It was getting colder and colder as she took each step.She walked right into the middle of the forest.

There was a small hill with a great big hole right in the middle of it. She wanted to jump into it.She took a big, deep breath and jumped.

There was a sinking feeling in her stomach. She realized that she was falling down deep somewhere. But she did not land. Her head was spinning and suddenly all her fur clothes disappeared and there was a skirt and blouse instead of them. She was at the beach.

She found that she had a bag with her. Inside the bag there was a swimsuit, a mat, a book, a bottle of lotion（护肤液） and a towel. She took all these home.

写作导引

一、分析语篇，理清要素

要想续写内容与所给材料内容连贯、衔接紧密，必须充分了解所给材料的大意。 本文是一篇

记叙文，文章分析如下：

二、阅读续写开头语，展开合理想象

我们可以基于标题、原文本和续写段落首句提供的信息，构思要续写的故事情节。 这一构思分为四步：

第一步，根据已给出的文本判断文章的立意。

根据续写第一段的首句 “When she almost stepped out of the forest, she heard her family crying.”， 我们可以推测出Penny跳进魔法洞，来到了温暖的沙滩后，又平安回到了现实中的家。 前文没有交代她的旅程经过、 感受和收获， 接下来或会有所交代。 从续写第二段的首句“However,Penny didn't say.”可以看出，续写第一段中Penny的家人——爸爸应该询问了她一些关于本趟旅程的问题，但是她没有回答。 故事的开头介绍了Penny家里没有钱，不能出国，而她向往着温暖的地方。 故事的转折处在于她掉进一个神奇的洞，来到了温暖的沙滩边，实现了自己的愿望。 那么接下来，Penny会不会利用这个魔法洞来改善自己、家庭或者其他人的生活呢？譬如开发旅游景点，或是到沙滩上卖鱼挣钱等，由此体现主人翁Penny的勇敢与智慧的故事主题。

第二步，围绕续写第一段所给出的段首句“When she almost stepped out of the forest, she heard her family crying.”进行提问构思：

（1）Why did her family cry?

（2）How did her family react after seeing Penny's arrival?

（3）What would her family ask Penny?

（4）How would Penny react?

第三步，根据续写第二段所给出的段首句倒推续写第一段必须写什么。

分析一下第二段所给出的段首句“However, Penny didn't say.”，我们可以推断续写第一段中家人询问她的奇特历程，譬如经历了什么、感受如何、有什么收获等。如此安排，确保两段之间衔接合理、情节连贯。

第四步，围绕题目“A magic hole”的线索及段首句“However, Penny didn't say.”进行提问构思：

（1）How would Penny take advantage of the big hole?

（2）What would be affected by the big hole?

（3）What would be the ending?

三、润色成篇

在续写的过程中要注意“续”的原则，做到主题、情节、语言风格一致。 具体如下：

（1）通过分析，我们可知本文的主题是弘扬积极、正面的价值观，如勇敢、智慧等，续写时应注意结局的设计；

（2）续写的情节应和前面的开始和发展吻合，根据人物的性格特点进行合理的预测；

（3）前文中有多处心理描写和环境描写，且用了大量的宾语从句、一些倒装句和定语从句，续写时应关注并模仿这些语言风格。

（4）续写时注意句型长短相间，注意句型丰富，注意语法、用词、标点符号的准确性。
