In Search of Mom　尋母記 


提示：
請根據上面三張連環圖畫的內容，以 "Jennifer never thought she would meet her biological mother." 開頭，寫一篇約120-140字的文章，描述圖中主角所經歷的事件，並提供合理的解釋與結局。

　　Jennifer never thought she would meet her biological mother. She was born in Taiwan but adopted by a couple from the US when she was a baby. She grew up happily there because her adoptive parents treated her very well. However, Jennifer always wanted to know more about her biological mother.
On her 18th birthday, Jennifer decided she would travel to Taiwan to look for her biological mother. The only clue Jennifer had about her was an envelope with her name and an old address on it. When she arrived in Taiwan, she contacted the local police for help. The police went to the address, but the woman had moved. Luckily, the neighbors had information about her whereabouts. With their help, Jennifer eventually found her biological mother and got a lot of her burning questions answered.

Writing Method:1. 引導句：珍妮佛在台灣出生，但有對來自美國的夫婦在她還是嬰兒時領養了她。
2. 發展句：珍妮佛十八歲生日時，決定要去台灣尋找她的生母。
3. 結論句：經由鄰居的幫忙，珍妮佛終於找到了她的生母，而且許多急切的問題都得到了答案。 


 

　　珍妮佛從未想過會見到她的生母。她在台灣出生，但有對來自美國的夫婦在她還是嬰兒時領養了她。她在美國快樂地成長，因為她的養父母對她很好。然而，珍妮佛總是想多知道一些關於她生母的事情。
　　珍妮佛十八歲生日時，決定要去台灣尋找她的生母。珍妮佛擁有的唯一線索是一封寫著她生母名字及舊地址的信封。她抵達台灣後便聯絡當地警方尋求協助。警方抵達地址所在地時，發現她的生母已經搬走了。幸運的是，鄰居知道有關她下落的訊息。經由他們的幫忙，珍妮佛終於找到了她的生母，而且許多急切的問題都得到了答案。
