Aram and Rossi's Bakery
Walking along the narrow brick sidewalk, Aram took a deep breath. The air smelled of lemons and baked bread and coffee, coming from Rossi’s Italian Bakery. He was almost there.
Aram still couldn't believe his luck. All his friends were working boring summer jobs — waiting tables and babysitting. And here he was, about to start as an actual baker's assistant, doing what he loved. It was all thanks to his Aunt Rita. She knew Mrs Rossi and had arranged everything. It was the perfect experience for his future career. Rossi's Bakery, he was sure, would one day be known as the place where he got his start.
Ah, here he was — the bakery. A faded wooden sign over the door read "Rossi's Bakery." Aram straightened his shoulders and entered. Mrs Rossi was sitting at the counter, looking old and wise. Aram greeted her and stuck out his hand. Mrs Rossi looked at it for a second before turning around and waving him inside. “I’m ready to learn every thing,” Aram said.
“Great. Let’s start with the cash register,” Mrs. Rossi said, "because that’s what you'll be doing." She showed him how to use the cash register. It wasn't hard. The pastry trays were all marked by price, and there weren't that many choices anyway. "That's it " Aram said, his heart sinking. "But when do we bake "
"Bake I order wholesale now. No more baking. I’m too old.,, Then Mrs Rossi silently held up her hands. Aram took in her knotted, swollen fingers, and he understood. A wave of disappointment struck him. Sadness overwhelmed him so suddenly that he couldn't think of a word to say.
He sighed, and Mrs Rossi sighed, too. "I used to bake it all. Bread and cakes.
And no one did it better than me. But that was when these things worked," said Mrs Rossi holding up her hands once more and glancing across the shelves filled with empty bottles labeled with names of the various ingredients(配料) she once used. Suddenly she came alive, waving her arthritic(关节炎的) hands. "People used to line up around the corner. Everyone wanted my baked bread.”

Then a thought occurred to him that he could ask Mrs Rossi to teach him. He couldn't wait to pour out his idea to Mr. Rossi. 1.Eagerness was mapped over his face, longing for her grant. However, what he was greeted was a direct refusal, "Look at my swollen fingers, arthritic hands. Maybe it is time for me to continue the wholesale mode." However, Aram wasn't discouraged because, 2.as firmly she said, he still sniffed a tone of hesitation/affection. 3.As a keen baker, who didn't know self-baked bread was what her inner spirit lay in Aram continued, "Your hands witness your devotion to your cause, which is exactly what wholesale lacks." 4.Upon listening to the words only shared by enthusiasts, Mrs. Rossi squeezed her eyes shut and bit her lip, lost in words.Mrs Rossi finally said, "Let's buy the ingredients first." “Yes! I knew it!” Aram jumped up, feeling over the moon. When they shopped on the shopping mall, Mr. Rossi explained in detail about the specific usage about each ingredient. "This brand is using natural fat and that brand mixes natural fat with man-made fat. …" Aram carved all the essences of the experience in his mind. When the "Rossi Bakery" reopened, Aram was busy sending samples to passers-by. 5.Seeing they couldn't help nodding their head, exclaiming, "Yummy！This is the best bread that I have tasted!", no words could describe their inspiration. Aram exchanged a meaningful glance with Mrs. Rossi and couldn't help picturing his future shop where his bread, injected with devotion, warmth and love, would never be replaced.
原文亮点：
一、情节逻辑方面从Aram提议→Rossi拒绝→Aram坚持→Rossi拒绝→一起购买材料，制造面包等环节，情节合理，逻辑上也都经得起推敲。
二、语言方面
1. 运用了较多具体动词：pour out/be mapped over/be greeted with/sniff a tone of hesitation/squeeze eyes shut/bite lips/jump up/carve sth in one's mind/nod one's head/exchange a meaningful glance with/injected with...
2. 运用了多模态状语：现在分词/介词短语/状语从句等
一些改动建议：
句1：longing的逻辑主语(Aram)和主句的主语(eagerness)不一致，需要改动。
句2：让步状语从句的倒装似乎有些问题，应为：Firmly as/though as she said it,......
句3：不需用疑问句，会出现who指代不明的情况(who应该指代Rossi)，建议改为陈述句。
句4：listening to改为hearing较好。
句5：seeing的逻辑主语(Aram and Rossi)和主句的主语no words不一致，需改动。
另外，字数过多了(243词)，有的地方可以精简，不用样样详述，比如Rossi对手工面包的热爱，不用说大家都知道，还有在市场买东西时Rossi对原料的详解，都是不太重要的信息。倒是应该增加Rossi在旁帮助Aram做面包的情节。最后，Rossi是女性，用Mrs.较好。
改进建议
Then a thought occurred to him that he could ask Mrs Rossi to teach him. He poured out his idea to Mrs. Rossi, eagerness mapped over his face. Before Aram even finished, Mrs. Rossi waved her hands before his eyes and released a resigned sigh, "Son, Look at my hands! No longer fit for making bread!" Firmly as she put it, Aram sniffed a touch of reluctance in her tone so he insisted, "Your hands witnessed your devotion to your cause, which wholesale bread would never make up for!" Those words, like a dagger, stabbed into Mrs. Rossi's heart. Squeezing her eyes shut, she bit her lip tight, her chest heaving with passion. Mrs Rossi finally said, "Let's buy the ingredients first." “Yes! I knew it!" Aram jumped up, throwing his fist into the air. With all the ingredients bought, Aram immediately rolled up his sleeves and began to work, with Mrs. Rossi offering instructions nearby. When word spread that "Rossi's Bakery" had returned, regular customers streamed in and sampled the bread lined on the shelf. Mouths bulging, they couldn't help putting up their thumbs. That summer, injected with devotion, warmth and love, turned out to be the most unforgettable one for both Aram and Rossi's Bakery. (188 words)尾句照应了一下标题。
