Not long ago, there was a beautiful, big teddy bear. He was in a store waiting

for someone to buy him and give him a home. He looked very smart in a brown coat

with a gold tie round his neck. Attached to the tie was a tag(标签) with his name written in black letters: Wolstencroft. He arrived in the store just before Christmas where there had been many different kinds of teddy bears.

But, one by one, they had all gone. They all had new homes. Finally, Wolstencroft was the only teddy bear left in the store.

He had hoped that Santa Claus would drop by on Christmas Eve and send him to

a good home. But Santa Claus had been too busy that year. He was still in the store alone the next morning. He really wanted a child who would take him home and love him.

He was trying hard not to cry, because he knew that tears would make his eyes

all red and then he would have even less chance of finding a home. He thought that

was because of his long and difficult name. He wanted to change it, but he couldn't think of a good one.

Finally, on a sunny morning, he heard a boy say, "Dad, this bear's name is the

same as mine! I love him. Can you buy him for me?" “Sure. It is not easy to find

a b ear with such a special name. You can give him a hug," his father answered.

Our children grew up on jam (果酱)sandwiches. I was not the jam maker in this

family. My mother-in-law (婆婆) was. She only made t wo kinds of jam. They were grape jam and blackberry jam.

Over the past 22 years, whenever I wanted to make a jam sandwich for my husband or children, all I had to do was reaching for one of my mother in-law's jars of jam.

Jam making was a way of life for my mother-in-law. She always did it, from picking the fruit to setting the finished jam on the shelf. My father in-law died several

years ago. Last December, my mother-in-law also passed away. Her children divided

her jars of jam. When my husband brought his jars home, we carefully put them away

on the shelf.

The other day I went into the kitchen and found a small jar of grape jam. As

I picked up the jar, I suddenl y realized something. This was the last jar of homemade jam. We could buy jam from stores, but this was the last jar we would have from the hands of my mother-in-law. Although she had been gone for nearly a year, so much

of her had remained with us. Our children had never known a day without their

grandmother's jam.

I put the jar back on the shelf. It was no longer just a jar of jam. I believed

that as long as it was there, a part of my mother-in-law would always live on.

How to write a good passage is important for students. If you are worried about writing, here is some useful advice.

How to get story ideas

I read newspapers, news sites and watch TV news daily. I look for stories or

topics that would interest readers. I often talk to other people. I want to know

what's on their minds and what interests them. You never know where you will find

a good story!

How to write a draft (草稿)

Before writing a draft, I make sure I learn all about the topic. Then, I can

be ready to write. As soon as I decide what order (顺序) the information should appear in, I will start my draft. I try not to care about choosing the perfect words or

beautiful sentences. At this point, it's important to get all of my ideas on the

page. I can focus on making the writing better later.

How to write a good introduction

Every story needs a beginning! The purpose of an introduction is to catch the

reader's attention and then keep it. Start by thinking about the four Ws i n the story: who, what, where a nd when. They help the reader to understand what the story is

about. Sometimes, I begin my stories with a n interesting fact, a powerful quote(引用)or an unforgettable anecdote(奇闻).

How to write a good conclusion (结论)

Conclusions are important, but it’s difficult to get them just right. You want to summarize(总结) what you've written before, but you don't want to repeat yourself.

If you're writing about the past, think about how your subject relates to the present. If you're writing about something happening now, ask yourself what it might mean

in the future.
