There was a rich couple who was throwing a big New Year party at their house. So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn’t mind paying for it. After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were torn, and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs.

They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter quoted just $20, well below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make even one time’s meal so he needed anything he could earn.

The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff.

The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”

They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? This is our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.”

【答案】Paragraph 1:

When the porter heard the angry wife asking, he turned back. The porter replied, “Madam, please calm down. I’m not a thief. That poor old man was sick since last month. He couldn’t earn enough to even have a single meal of the day. Therefo re, he fell down and handed me $15, saying, ‘I have taken an advance for this delivery, and you deliver the goods to the couple’s home.’ Madam, he was poor and hungry, but he was an honest man. I was just on the way to completing the old man’s last delivery to your home.”

Paragraph 2:

Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes, and the wife felt so ashamed that she had no courage to look her husband in the eyes. Suddenly she rushed to the market. Half an hour later, the wife came back with some food in her hand. She passed the food on to the porter, and said sorry to the porter, saying that she shouldn’t suspect them, and took them as thieves. At last, the porter took the goods to their house, and the rich couple changed their attitude to the man like the porter.

【解析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。

通过阅读所给文章可知，一对富人夫妇为了准备新年聚会去市场不惜高价买了许多物品，然后雇佣了一个搬运工把这些物品运回家。搬运工是一个年老体弱生活拮据的人，他要价$20低于市场价，而富人夫妇讨价还价后只给$15。富人夫妇高兴地回家等着老人把物品送来，却迟迟不见老人的身影。妻子认为上了老人的当，一定老人把他们的物品卖掉了。回去找老人时却发现他们的物品在另外一个搬运工的车上。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：当搬运工听到生气的妻子问题时……，所以应该写他讲述的实情，老人病了又吃不上饭，这次摔倒了，他把$15给了这个搬运工，请求他把物品送到富人家。第二段开头是：丈夫听了，眼里含着泪水，……。下文应该写富人夫妇被老人感动，行动和态度都发生了改变。

最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。按要求完成写作任务。
