小猫小猫Thula&小女儿小女儿IrisThree Steps in doing continuous writing 续写三步曲续写三步曲Step 1.Read the text for conflict(冲突冲突文章需要解决的文章需要解决的问题问题)Step 2 Read the underlined words and the two first sentences for continuation points（寻找续写点）（寻找续写点）Step 3.Design the plot and employ proper language（设计情节，合理表述）（设计情节，合理表述）Not until recently have I known that a little pet can be such a helpful assistant to a helpless mom.This is all due to what our new family member,a little kitten named Thula,has done.She seems to understand exactly what Iris needs at any given time.Within a year of my daughters birth in 2015,I already suspected that something was wrong.Even by babies standards,Iris was a frighteningly bad sleeper.She also appeared unmistakably distant.Besides,after saying“dada”at eight months,she stopped talking.Finally,aged two,she was diagnosed as autistic.In fact,after a long process of trial and error,I found activities that obviously did help her,including music and riding on the back of her dads bike.Above all,Iris showed a remarkable talent for art:producing large multi-layered Impressionist-style paintings that took her several days and that once led to the Leicester Mercury headline,“Top artist aged 3.”Iris did make progress,but by no means steadily,with promising developments often followed by periods of regression(退步).One night,Iris refused to sleep.As her frustrations mounted,she started to cry,and her sobs filled the quiet room.I felt so hopeless as I held her close.Nothing seemed to comfort her apart from her favorite book and I longed for some help,but she pushed away all who tried except me,making me on the edge of breaking down.Downstairs,my husband looked at Thula in surprise who had suddenly got up off his lap.Her eyes focused towards the door and she had one foot raised,perfectly poised(悬在)in the air.Something had grabbed her attention the crying of Iris.Then her legs were moving fast.Zooming round the corner,she flew up the stairs into Iriss bedroom and jumped onto the bed.She curled up next to Iris,ignored the crying and started grooming(梳毛)herself,licking her paws and rubbing them over her ears.Paragraph 1:Almost immediately,Iriss mood changed._Paragraph 2:I was curious about the silence,then returned to the door of Iriss room and looked in._ Not until recently have I known that a little pet can be such a helpful assistant to a

Her seemingly endless sobs gradually died down.Moments later,there was silence:no giggling,no pages being turned,and no cries.Iris had gone to sleep with her kitten by her side.Possible version Almost immediately,Iriss mood changed.She stopped crying and giggled at Thulas huge ears as they were folded down forward and then pinged back(弹弹回回).It was a performance like nothing I had seen before,combining comedy with beauty.Iris relaxed,put down her book and looked at the kitten with great joy.Seizing the opportunity,I slipped out of the room and waited at the bottom of the stairs,listening for the inevitable crying that would take me back to her side.Moments later,there was silence:no giggling,no pages being turned,and no cries.I was curious about the silence,then returned to the door of Iriss room and looked in.Iris had gone to sleep with her kitten by her side.Iriss hand rested on Thulas shoulders and I could hear a gentle purr.Although still a tiny kitten

down her book and looked at the kitten with great joy.The little creature made a soft meow and curled itself into a furry little ball.Iris reached out her hands and ran her fingers through the puffy fur of the kitten.I decided to seize the opportunity and give myself a little possible break.Then I slipped out and waited,listening for the unavoidable crying that would take me back.Moments later,there was silence.I was curious about the silence,then returned to the door of Iriss room and looked in.Iris had fallen asleep with her kitten by her side.Iriss hand rested on Thulas shoulders and I could hear a gentle purr.Although still a tiny kitten and a new member of our family,Thula was already watching out for Iris,her faithful companion.She was a friend to me too,stepping in and helping when I needed it the most.I didnt even need to ask,but she knew instinctively what to do and how to help.This magical kitten was changing our lives and this was just the beginning.
