【題目】”閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應為120左右。

My fiance(未婚夫）and I were excited about shopping for our first home.But our funds were limited,and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.

One agent recommended a house in particular..Although her description sounded wonderful,the price was beyond our range,so we declined.But she kept urging us to have a look at least.

We finally did and it was love at first sight:It was Our Home,small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake.Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners,a nice elderly couple,we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that home.As perfect as it was,the price remained too high for us.But every day,we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live there.

Days later,we made a(n)offer-far below the asking price.Surprisingly,they didn't laugh at us.They renewed their offer instead.It was also much more than we could afford,but far less than the original asking price.

The next day,we got a disappointing message that another buyer had offered a much higher price.Even so,we decided to talk with the owners directly.We made our final offer, which still was thousands of dollars 'less than' the other buyer's bid.We knew it,but we had to try.Nobody knew if we could get it.

Paragraph 1:We went to the owners' home after we made our final offer.The other buyer came to visit the owners too.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1

After we made our final offer we went to the owners' home where the other buyer came to visit the owners too. He begged the owners to sell it to him because the price he offered was much higher than ours. The owner asked the buyer, "why do you want this house?" The buyer answered, "It is near the city, so I want to buy it for investment. I can rent it to earn money." The owner thought for a while and then looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I can't sell my house to you, because I am looking for someone who truly loves my house, not just for money."

Paragraph 2:

The owner looked at us and said, "I want to sell my house to you!" Then he explained why. He'd seen us sitting by the lake all those times; he knew how much we loved the place and that we'd appreciate the years of work they had put into their home; he realized he would take a loss by selling it to us, but it was worthwhile; we were the people they wanted to live there.He told us to consider the difference in the price "an early wedding present." That's how we found our home and how I learned that when people are kind they are not strangers, only friends we haven't yet met.

【解析】

本篇書面表達是讀后續(xù)寫。通過閱讀所給文章可知，作者和未婚夫打算買房子，看到非常心儀的房子，但是付不起高價，另一個買家出了更高的價格，盡管如此，作者他們決定以最終報價直接去找房子的主人。

續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，第一段開頭是：我們決定了最終報價后去了房子主人的家里，另一個買家也去拜訪房子的主人……所以本段應該是寫另一個買家請求房子主人把房子賣給他，并向房子主人陳述理由，以及房子主人聽后的感受和決定等內(nèi)容。第二段開頭是：主人看著我們說：“我想把我的房子賣給你們。”……本段應該寫房子主人解釋他為什么想把房子賣給作者，因為他看到了作者對這個房子的喜愛，雖然作者的出價低一點，但這是值得的。文章最后寫作者通過這件事的得到的感悟。

續(xù)寫時要注意所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應為120左右；按要求完成寫作任務(wù)。
