六、任务型阅读。
I was seven when I went to Ireland to spend a week with my grandparents. Grandma welcomed me into their cottage by the sea. It was a strange feeling since I hadn't seen her for a long time.
The following day, I became ill with a cold. I had to stay in with Grandma. She was knitting (编织).
"Jane, would you like to learn?"
"Yes."
She gave me a pair of wooden needles(针) and some soft blue - green wool, the colour of all the seas and oceans. Wrapping her arms around me, Grandma taught me the art of that ancient skill. I watched her move. Her piece was full of beautiful patterns(图案).
"How do you know what to do?"
"I have them here," she said, pointing to her head. "My mother taught me these patterns. They tell stories of the sea and the people who live near it."
"The lines are ropes and are wishes for safety of the fishermen off the coasts. These zigzags remind me of the paths I hope you'll walk with me and pick flowers along the way. And then my favourite is the diamond. It tells me to treasure all in this life. With each stitch(一针), more love is added to the sweater, and the knitter always knows for whom she is knitting. " I loved the way I connected stitches together, one at a time, just like what Grandma said.
All too soon, it was time to go. I wore the sweater which Grandma made for me, and I gave her the scarf that I had worked so hard on. It showed how I felt about Grandma.
I never saw her again. But she is with me often, not only because it was a process that added more love to the sweater but also because I continue the tradition of knitting that Grandma taught me, especially when I later passed her gift on to my own daughter. We knit in blues and greens, and talk about the colour of the sea in Ireland. One day we hope to see it together.
