When I was ten,I was suddenly faced with the suffering of moving from the home that I loved.My life spent in that big old house with laughter and tears of my family was precious for me.

When the final day came,I ran to the small backyard and sat alone with tears in my eyes.Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder.I looked up to see my grandfather. “I know it isn't easy for you，” he said softly,sitting down on the steps beside me.

“Grandpa,” I replied,“how can I say goodbye to you and all my friends?”

For a moment he just stared off into the apple trees.

“Goodbye is such a sad word,”he said.“It seems too cold for friends to use.We have so many ways of saying goodbye and they all have one thing in common.We all say it with sadness.Come with me，”he whispered.

We walked hand in hand to his favorite place in the front yard.There were lots of roses.My grandpa pulled me close and said,“It isn't the roses that are beautiful,Billy.It's that special place in your heart that makes them so.”

His eyes met mine again.“Billy,I had planted these roses before your mother came to the world.I put them into the soil the day my first son was born.It was my way of showing gratitude for life.That boy's name was David.I used to watch him pick roses for his mother.”

I saw my grandfather's tears.I had never seen him cry before.His voice became hoarse.

寫作導引

一、析語篇，理要素

在續寫這篇文章時要注意以下幾個方面，具體請看下面的審題分析。

在續寫時，要注意通過“我的爺爺”的外貌、動作、語言、心理、神態進行描寫，這些描寫也是分析記敘文中人物形象的重要切口。

二、創情節，巧構思

由于第一段提到了“一場可怕的戰爭來臨了”，顯然在戰爭中所發生的事情，就成為故事的關鍵所在。第二段提到了“一年半后，我祖父病重”，這提示同學們在續寫時要將情節和“say goodbye”聯系起來。

在寫本篇短文的讀后續寫時，同學們要始終把握“爺爺對生活的熱愛”這一主題，圍繞“爺爺身邊所發生的事情”構建情節，凸顯愛的傳遞。
