6.Wisdom of Bear Wood(476)

Sixth grade rewrite

Wisdom of Bear Wood

【1】Once upon a time, when I was twelve years old, my family moved to England. It was my fourth move in my short life, and I was used to saying goodbye to friends.

【2】We lived in a beautiful old farmhouse in Berkshire, surrounded by ancient castles and churches. But what I loved most were the farms and woods that stretched out behind our house.

【3】I spent a lot of time exploring these woods alone, pretending to be Robin Hood, dreaming, catching bugs, and watching birds. It was like a paradise for me, but it was also a bit lonely. I kept to myself to avoid getting too attached to places I would have to leave again soon.

【4】One day, an old farmer named Crawford let me explore his big property. I started going there every weekend, hiking up a hill to a place called Bear Wood. It was my secret place, a magical forest where I could be alone with nature.

【5】One spring day, I was exploring near a pond when I almost bumped into an old lady. She was as surprised as I was, but she quickly smiled and made me feel at ease. She had binoculars around her neck and knew a lot about the birds in the woods.

【6】We talked about the birds and the woods, and she invited me to her cottage for tea and jam tart. I was a bit nervous about going with a stranger, but I felt she was nice, so I went with her.

【7】At her cottage, I saw lots of books about birds and insects, and even a stuffed eagle owl. We talked about nature and her husband, who had passed away. She gave me two big books about birds and insects to borrow.

【8】I started visiting her every weekend, and she taught me so much about nature. I even got a nickname at school, "Prof," because of my knowledge. I learned that she was lonely and not well, but I didn't realize how sick she was.

【9】One day, my mother told me that Mrs. Robertson-Glasgow had died. I was very sad because she had become a good friend to me. I remembered all the things she taught me and the times we spent together.

【10】I kept the tin of shortbread she gave me, and I filled it with leaves, stones, and other things I found in the woods. I still have it, and I remember the wisdom she shared with me. It's about nature, about change, and about how even though we're all different, we can still be friends. That's the wisdom I carry with me from Bear Wood.

六年级改写

熊林的智慧

【1】从前，当我十二岁的时候，我们家搬到了英国。这是我短暂生命中的第四次搬家，我已经习惯了和朋友说再见。

【2】我们住在伯克郡一座美丽的古老农舍里，四周环绕着古堡和教堂。但我最喜欢的是我们房子后面延伸出来的农场和树林。

【3】我花了很多时间独自探索这些树林，假装罗宾汉，做梦，捉虫子，看鸟。对我来说，这就像一个天堂，但也有点孤独。我一个人待着，以免对那些我很快就要离开的地方太过依恋。

【4】有一天，一位名叫克劳福德的老农民让我去他的大庄园探险。我开始每个周末都去那里，爬山去一个叫贝尔伍德的地方。这是我的秘密之地，一个神奇的森林，在那里我可以独自与大自然接触。

【5】一个春日，我在池塘附近探险，差点儿撞到一位老太太。她和我一样惊讶，但她很快笑了笑，让我感到轻松。她脖子上挂着双筒望远镜，对树林里的鸟很了解。

【6】我们谈论了鸟儿和树林，她邀请我去她的小屋喝茶，吃果酱馅饼。和一个陌生人一起去我有点紧张，但我觉得她人很好，所以我就和她一起去了。

【7】在她的小屋里，我看到了许多关于鸟类和昆虫的书，甚至还有一个猫头鹰标本。我们谈论大自然和她已经去世的丈夫。她借给了我两本关于鸟类和昆虫的大书。

【8】我开始每个周末都去看她，她教了我很多关于大自然的知识。由于我的学识渊博，我在学校里甚至有个外号叫“教授”。我知道她很孤独，身体不好，但我不知道她病得有多严重。

【9】一天，母亲告诉我罗伯逊-格拉斯哥夫人去世了。我很伤心，因为她已经成为我的好朋友。我记得她教我的所有事情和我们一起度过的时光。

【10】我保留着她给我的那罐脆饼，我把在树林里找到的树叶、石头和其他东西装满了它。我至今还保留着它，我还记得她与我分享的智慧。这是关于自然，关于变化，关于即使我们都是不同的，我们仍然可以成为朋友。这是我从贝尔伍德学到的智慧。
