They’d been planning this forever. From her birth, most likely. Mya's mother, Helena loved hosting parties. And Aunt Beatrice loved birthdays. Together, they'd make her Sweet Sixteen a hundred times bigger, bolder, and brighter than it needed to be. They lected a theme every year and stuck to it. Her fourteenth had been the “Snow White” and her ninth had been the “Frozen”. They never told her what the theme was the day before. She'd just wake up her birthday morning, a brand new birthday outfit (一套服装) laid neatly on her dresr (an outfit related to the theme, of cour) and she would open her door to e the adventure that lay ahead of her that day.
Mya had a few guess as to what this year’s theme would be. A play on the words “Sweet Sixteen” was likely — a candy themed party, perhaps? But she’d had a baking party a few years ago — and Helena was anything but repetitive. Mya didn't have any interest in cars, so she doubted a sports-car party was on the menu. She’d tried to look through her mother’s purcha history online, but her mother had been careful enough to delete everything recent. So the only clue left was the birthday outfit she would receive the next morning.
May 1st, Mya woke. The bright sunlight begged her eyes to open and she loved the day that her birthday took place. It was always nice out on May 1st and it never rained. This morning was no different than her previous birthdays. She sat up in her bed and looked to her dresr before slipping out of bed and inspecting the outfit. She unfolded it and held it against her body, eing how it was like. It reached down, just above the ankle. Mya dresd, eyed herlf in the mirror and found it was not so much a pretty outfit as she had received before. It was totally one for blue-collar workers!

【答案】例文1:
Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a knock. Helena walked in. “What is my birthday theme this year, mum?” Mya asked. “Labor!” Helena answered in a firm voice. “But I was expecting a party!” her voice sounded shaky. Oh, how could she forget she was born on Labor’s Day! Mya’s feet brought her small steps to follow Helena to the van. On arriving at a farm, she noticed the vast land of wheat spreading over the horizon that made a splendid view itlf. Their job was to remove the weeds.
With everything done, her face shone with a sweet smile. Several drops of sweat traced a path on her red and pink cheeks and she turned to Helena: “this is not bad, mum and I feel I’ve grown up enough to help you with something.” Helena pulled Mya into her arms and planted a big kiss on her forehead. The sun in May was shining brighter than ever like a fire ball. Picturing the good harvest of this year, they hit the road with a happy birthday song echoing in the van.
例文 2:
Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a knock. “Is the birthday girl up?” Helena asked. Mya opened her bedroom door and surprisingly found they looked the same! Looking at Mya’s surprid face, Helena grinned and led her to the kitchen. There was no meal on the table. “Let’s prepare for the party together this time.” Aunt Beatrice said gladly dresd in the same outfit. It suddenly occurred to Mya that the theme this year was suppod to be “Sweet Labor, Sweet Sixteen”.
With everything done, her face shone with a sweet smile. Looking around the living room,
Mya felt the happiness brought by labor the first time. “Happy Birthday!” Mya turned around in surpri. All of her friends jumped out of any hiding spots with everyone wearing the same outfit. They enjoyed the party and cleaned up together afterwards. Tired as Mya was, she pulled Helena and Beatrice into a hug tightly, saying “this is the best sweet sixteen ever.”
