【解析】

本文以人物為線索展開(kāi)，講述了作者討厭在Letty姨媽的農(nóng)場(chǎng)過(guò)春假，但作者的父母還是堅(jiān)

持讓作者去，Letty姨媽告訴作者他們有一匹名叫Hercules的馬，最后作者和這匹馬成為了

朋友，作者也在Letty姨媽的感染下感激自己的勞動(dòng)，認(rèn)為這個(gè)春假很有意義。

【詳解】

1.段落續(xù)寫(xiě)：

①由第一段首句內(nèi)容“第四天，Letty姨媽宣布：’是時(shí)候見(jiàn)見(jiàn)Hercules了?！焙沃谝欢慰?/p>

描寫(xiě)作者見(jiàn)到Hercules和騎馬的經(jīng)過(guò)和感受。

②由第二段首句內(nèi)容“騎馬之后，在農(nóng)場(chǎng)的時(shí)間似乎變了?！翱芍?，第二段可描寫(xiě)作者在農(nóng)

場(chǎng)的生活和體會(huì)。

2.續(xù)寫(xiě)線索：作者見(jiàn)到Hercules——作者騎馬——作者適應(yīng)農(nóng)場(chǎng)生活——作者被姨媽感染熱

愛(ài)勞動(dòng)——作者認(rèn)為這個(gè)春假很棒
