a sad story

英文作文a sad storyThe sky was gray and heavy with clouds, matching the heaviness in her heart. She had lost her best friend in a tragic accident, and the pain was unbearable. Every day felt like a struggle to even get out of bed, and she found herself constantly on the verge of tears.He had been her rock, her confidant, and her source of laughter.

She missed his smile, his jokes, and the way he always knew how to make her feel better.She tried to distract herself with work and social activities, but nothing could fill the void he had left behind. It was like a piece of her had been ripped away, and she didn't know if she would ever feel whole again.The days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, but the pain didn't seem to lessen.

It felt like the world had lost its color, and she was just going throughthe motions of living.She knew she needed to find a way to move on, but the thought of letting go of the memories felt like a betrayal. How could she just forget the person who had meant so muchto her? It felt like an impossible task, and she didn't know if she had the strength to do it.As time passed, she slowly began to find moments of peace. She started to remember the good times they had shared, and it brought a bittersweet smile to her face. She knew he would want her to be happy, and she made a promiseto herself to honor his memory by finding joy in life again.The pain never truly went away, but she found a way to carry it with her. She knew that he would always be a partof her, and she found comfort in that. She learned to live with the sadness, and it became a reminder of the love they had shared. And in time, she found a way to heal, knowingthat he would always be with her, guiding her through the rest of her days.。

A Sad StoryGeorge Sheffield1 “You are the doctor, I suppose,” said Augustus Pokewhistle, smiling from his bed at the immense man who had arrived secretly while he slept. “It is kind of you to come, but I fear you cannot help me. However, as you are here, I will tell you, very shortly, what is wrong with me, I am an artist. I paint pictures and I draw drawings ….”2“But …”3 “You are going to tell me that you are not interested in the story of my life,”Augustus laughed bitterly. “You are one of the soulless public, and it is of no importance to you if a clever young man should take to his bed in the highest of his youth, never to rise again. But I suppose you have been sent here by some interfering so –called friend of mine to save me from the Silent Grave, and I must therefore explain my illness. And you cannot understand my illness unless I tell you the story of my life …”4 “But …”5 “ I was delicately brought up, and it soon became clear that I was not an ordinary boy. At the age of seven I won a prize for a drawing of an animal. We will forget the fact that I had intended my drawing to represent Sunset over London. After that my proud parents provided me with plenty of pencils and paper and gave me the opportunity of studying under Great Painters. At the age of twenty-one I started business as a painter of people, and painted eleven pictures of my own face. Nobody seemed to want them, and if you will go into my sitting room, you will see them hanging sadly on the wall, looking down at the Empty Chair which I will never sit in again. For I am certain that I shall never rise from this bed …”6“But …”7“Nobody came to have their pictures painted and I had no heart to paint any more of myself. Although it may seem impossible, I could no longer get any real pleasure out of it after I had finished the eleventh, and this proves that one can get tired of even the most heavenly beauty …”8“But …”9“May I mention that there is a certain sameness in your remarks? Let me finish, and then you can say …but‟as often as you like. I turned from painting people to painting the country. Nine times I painted the view from the back window, and seven times I painted the view from the front window. But could I sell the seven pictures of the view from the front window or the nine of the view the back window? I could not.I had little money left, and I decided, after a severe struggle with myself, to forget my soul and paint for money. I determined to draw funny pictures for the newspapers. Remember that I was without hope and almost hungry, and do not think of me too severely …”10“But …”11I know what you are going to say –if I had had the soul of a true artist, I wouldhave died rather than do such a thing. But remember that my wife and children were crying for bread –or would have been crying for bread if I had a wife and little children; and was it my fault that I hadn‟t a wife and children? So I made thirty or forty funny drawings every day and sent them to the papers. I soon found that selling one‟s soul for money is not so easy as it sounds. Believe it or not, I got no money. I just got my drawings back …”12“But …”13“You may well ask why they were sent back. I cannot tell you. I tested them on the cat. I had often heard that expression …funny enough to make the cat laugh‟ and so I placed them in a line and carried the cat along in front of them. He laughed until he was sick … in any case he was sick.14“Then I sank lower and lower. I tried drawing for advertisements. Clothes, pianos, bottles. Immensely tall ladies with foolish smiles. I sent them off by the hundred, and all I received was a sample bottle or two, and a sample card of wool. I rather expected to get a sample tall lady with a foolish smile, but probably she got lost in the post …”15“But …”16“So I gave up the struggle. My heart was broken, and I determined to take to my bed, never to rise again. You cannot help me, doctor. No skill of yours can help me. I feel it in my bones that I shall never rise from this bed …”17“And I feel it in my bones that you will,”said the stranger, carefully placing Augustus Pokewhistle on the carpet, “because I‟ve come to take it away. I‟m from the furniture shop, and the bed isn‟t paid for.”(859 words) Questions:1.You must have noticed that although the text is a conversationbetween two people, it is almost all one way. The man from the furniture shop hardly had an opportunity to speak. Each of the seven times he tried to join in the conversation, he was cut short. Speculate on what he was going to say each time he uttered “but …”2.Several times during the conversation, Augustus told the manthat he would take to his bed and never rise again. What did he mean? Was he really ill? Why did he repeat the phrase again and again?3.What is the tone that Augustus used to tell the story? How doyou know?。

Jim meets two friends in the street.“Come back to my apartment(前后文定义)for a meal,” he says. “You can see the city from my bedroom window.”His two friends agree(逻辑关系)and they go back with Jim to the apartmet building where he lives on the 40th floor.When they get to his apartment, the lift(电梯) is broken(逻辑关系), so they have to walk.“I’m sorry,” Jim says.“But it’s forty floors!” they say.“We’ll t alk as we climb,” Jim says. “You can tell me new jokes(定义) to make me laugh and when we get to my apartment I’ll tell you a story.” His friends agree and they start to climb. At last, they get to the fortieth floor, stand outside the door and feel tired(常识).“Now tell us an interesting and humourous story.” his friends say to him.But Jim looks sad and say, “Once upon a time there is a man who meets two friends. He asks them to his apartment on the fortieth floor. The lift doesn’t work and they have to climb. When they reach the fortieth floor, he puts his hand in his pocket for the key to the door of his apar tment. It isn’t there. Then he remember s where it is. It is in his car.“Come back to my apartment(构词法)for a meal,” he says.。

Three men came to New York for a holiday. They stayed in a large
hotel and their room was in 44 floor.
In the evening, the three men came back late, and the clerk of the hotel told them the lifts didn't work. They didn't want to sleep in the hall, so they began to walk up to their room.
On the way, Tom told them many jokes, Andy sang some songs. At last they came to the 1 floor.
Then Peter said, "I shall tell you a sad story. It's not long, but sad enough. We left the key to our room in the hall."
