I was a high school student in Kenidy School,located not far off Haidemood Park.It is a common high public school,you know.The students come from the nearby neighborhood and not all of them will go to good colleges.The teachers come and go all the time,but they don't just pass like the wind,leaving no trace.Many of them are devoted to their work and appreciated by their students.I was one of them who was blessed by those dedicated teachers.

The last semester in my final year of high school,I had a kind teacher whom I can never forget.I was not necessarily the best student when it came to writing tests.Actually,I had to work extra hard to get good marks,although I enjoyed learning.Anyway,this class that I truly enjoyed still had me struggle to do well on my tests.My teacher willingly helped me and was always willing to answer my questions,and I greatly appreciated it.He was a remarkable teacher,always reaching out to students and helping them achieve their greatest potential.Never did he show any impatience to us.

Although I have left school for a long time,many happy memories still stuck to my heart.I remember the day of my writing final exam,just as usual,I was the last one still writing in the exam room,reviewing my exam paper,while everyone else had already finished and left the room.After turning in my exam paper,there were only two in the room,the teacher and me.

寫作導(dǎo)引

一、析結(jié)構(gòu)，理要點

二、依背景，巧構(gòu)思

本文的故事脈絡(luò)很清晰，續(xù)寫故事的脈絡(luò)發(fā)展時一定要關(guān)注文章開始的背景介紹。第一、二段的背景介紹是作者表達(dá)的重點，而本文的故事正文則是對這個觀點的說明。

作者參加自己的畢業(yè)寫作考試，在考試結(jié)束，離開考場時，對老師說了幾句話。根據(jù)兩個提示句，第一段主要是作者對老師說的話，以及當(dāng)時的情景。這里故事發(fā)展比較明確，也比較簡單，寫作時主要描寫作者當(dāng)時的心境。

根據(jù)第二段的段首句可知，這里是老師聽到作者感激的話語時的反應(yīng)。根據(jù)文章的背景介紹，這里主要描述老師的情緒變化和情感態(tài)度。
