“点评：”
这是一篇根据四幅图内容展开的记叙文。
全文围绕父子二人怎样庆祝三八妇女节这个中心展开。第一幅图：3月8日，李东正向父亲耳语什么；第二幅画：父子二人忙得不亦乐乎，老子洗衣，儿子扫地；第三幅图：父子二人配合，父亲做菜，儿子端菜；第四幅图：女主人回到家，看到桌上的鲜花和满桌热腾腾的菜肴，满心的欢喜。
作者把画面内容用通俗易懂的英语表达得淋漓尽致。从文中我们可以看出，作者增加了一些细节的描述，如第一句话“On March 8th, Li Dong wanted to do something to celebrate①Women’s Day”引出图画所表述的主题，与第一幅图衔接得天衣无缝；又如摆好桌子、放上满瓶花等，都与主题紧密相关，恰如其分。从第二幅图开始，用first, then, when his mother came back……等进行过渡，既承接了上一句话对第一幅图画的描述，又很自然地将另三幅图表达的故事内容连接起来。全文行文流畅、结构紧凑，恰当细节的增加使得内容更为充实，语言连贯、层次分明，值得大家学习。
