My Experience in Italy
I had a funny experience in Italy when I was traveling there.
One day I went into a small restaurant to have dinner. I knew very little Italian, so I could not read the menu. I wanted to order some mushrooms, as Italy is famous for this food. However, I did not know the word for mushrooms. I called the waiter to help, but he did not know English at all. I took out a pencil and a piece of paper, and drew a picture of a mushroom. The waiter seemed to understand and left immediately. About half an hour later he returned with a large black umbrella. I was greatly disappointed. However, I paid for the umbrella and got it back to my hotel. (113 words)
【寫法指要】
復述故事一般都有詞數限製。有時，可能會讓你把幾頁甚至幾十頁的一篇故事用一、二百詞復述出來。這樣，作者就要對原文內容作出取舍，保留主要情節，刪去枝節問題。例如本篇就隻保留了與“mushroom”有關的情節，而把無關的“ordered eggs”的情節刪掉了。
