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、续写技能

读后续写中，情绪描写有两种方法：一种是直接描写法，即句子中直接出现表达情绪的单词；另外一种是间接描写法，通过表情和动作来体现某种情绪。大部分读后续写的故事中，人物是从“负向”情绪，最终转化到“正向”情绪的。

●“负向”情绪之恐惧、绝望

恐惧:

1. He turned to me, with his eyes full of horror. 他转向我，眼中满是惊恐。（间接描写）

2. Realizing what had happened, a flood of fear welled up in him. 意识到发生了什么，一阵恐惧涌上他的心头。（直接描写）

3.At the sight of the wolf,I froze with terror.一看到狼，我吓得僵住了。（间接描写）

4.At the sight of the wolf,I felt that my throat tightened and my knees felt weak.一看到狼，我感到喉咙发紧，膝盖发软。（间接描写）

绝望:

1.Tony felt hopeless/desperate.托尼感到绝望。（直接描写）

2. Tony was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness and sank into hopelessness. 托尼突然陷入了一个黑暗的世界，并且陷入了绝望。（间接描写）

●“正向”情绪之快乐

1.Seeing her present,she was overflowing with happiness.一看到她的礼物，她充满了幸福。（直接描写）

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

3. Hearing this, everybody was wild with joy. 一听到这句话，每个人都欣喜若狂。（直接描写）

4.To his joy,his son won first prize in the English Speech Contest.令他高兴的是，他的儿子在英语演讲比赛中获得了一等奖。（直接描写）

5.Laughter lingered around the room.笑声在房间里萦绕。（间接描写）

6. She laughed, with her eyes shining with excitement. 她笑了，眼睛里闪烁着兴奋的光芒。（间接描写）

7. Her face lit up/brightened/glowed with pleasure when I gave her the present. 当我给她礼物时，她的脸上焕发出了光彩。（间接描写）

8. A bright smile appeared on/spread across her face when she saw the present. 当她看到礼物时，她的脸上露出了灿烂的笑容。（间接描写）

四、续写布局

根据续写第一段的段首句“我把脚放进妈妈的腰带里，试着站起来，但脚滑脱了。”可知，第一段内容应描写活动中出现的一些状况。再结合续写第二段的段首句可知，“我们”的塔完成了。由此倒推，“我们”并没有因为突发状况而放弃。因而，续写第一段还可以描写“我们”的应对措施。具体情节发展，可根据以下问题链推测：

1.How do I feel?

2.What do I do next?

3.How do my team members react?

根据续写第二段的段首句“Tomeu 和我抓住彼此的胳膊，我们的塔完成了。”可知，“我们”的人堆城堡建得非常成功。“我”会有哪些情感变化和感悟呢？具体情节发展，可根据以下问题链推测：

1.How do I feel at that moment?

2.What lesson do I learn from this experience?
