读后续写（拖延导致作业得F）
When my little brother Tom was four, Mom said something like “I’d give anything to have a few more hours in the day.” And Tom said, “Why don’t we buy a bigger clock ” If time worked that way, I could have used an extra-big clock last week!
Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get mine done.”
I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous — I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The second I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abuela’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!
I had no choice. I had to go. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o’clock when I finally got home. I planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me.
【参考范文】
Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.” Unwillingly dashing into the kitchen, I let out a cry at the sight of those messy dishes after a Thanksgiving feast. It cost me what seemed like a century1 to finish the job. Looking up at the clock, “Goodness! It’s 10 o’clock!” My brain went blank as I realized I hadn’t even drawn a draft for my project.2 Time ticking down, I had no option but to copy the information from the Internet – an obviously careless version. Two days later, I got my paper back.
Looking at the big “F” on my paper, I started to reflect on what I had done these days.3 Instead of making good use of my time, I wasted the Monday night because I was too relaxed. Worse still, I got easily distracted by all sorts of things that were even irrelevant to the work. I should have focused on it and accomplished a project that would make me proud! Devoured by a strong sense of regret, I came to understand the importance of balancing my life properly and paying attention to what was the top priority.4
