“Did you write your thank-you notes ” I asked my son, Jon. “Not yet, Mom,” Jon replied, rolling his eyes. “I’ll do it when I get back from Jim’s house.”
“Sorry, that’s not going to happen!” I snapped. “You’re not leaving this house until you’ve written a note to everyone you came in contact with during your interview.” “Even the receptionist who was rude to me ” Jon asked with a puzzled expression. “Especially her,” I said.
Jon had just finished interviewing with his first- choice company. It was a rare opportunity considering that jobs were in short supply. After an hour, Jon came out of his room and handed over eight thank-you notes. To my delight, they were all sincere and heartfelt — even the one to the receptionist who had been less friendly.
Before Jon left to visit his friend, he turned to me and announced, “Mom, I’m pretty sure that a thank-you note to the CEO or the receptionist isn’t going to land me this job. But if it makes you happy, then it’s worth it.” Jon was twenty-one years old, and I felt foolish telling a grown man what to do, but I also didn’t want him living in our basement for the rest of his life!
Ten days after the thank-you notes were mailed, Jon received a call from the company that he had interviewed with. When his cellphone rang for the second time, I asked, “Jon, why don’t you want to answer a phone call ” “Oh, they’re just calling to let me know that I didn’t get the job,” Jon said sadly. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but they only give you a call when you get the job.” I explained.
For days, Jon had been worried that his school loans would be due after graduation and that he didn’t have a job lined up. He had thoroughly convinced himself that he didn’t get the job, but I knew better. Jon hesitated to answer the cellphone. But after my efforts, Jon finally gave in and went into the next room to make the call.

一、文章大意
兒子喬恩剛結束一家心儀公司的面試，就業形勢嚴峻，這份工作機會難得。媽媽要求喬恩給面試接觸過的每個人寫感謝信，包括態度不好的接待員，喬恩雖不情愿但照做了，寫得真誠用心。十天后，公司來電，喬恩認定是未被錄取的通知而不敢接，在媽媽勸說下才接聽。最終喬恩得知自己被錄用，而這一驚喜轉折與那些感謝信息息相關，讓喬恩和媽媽都感慨萬千，也凸顯出感恩細節在求職中的重要意義。
二、伏筆與回應
伏筆：媽媽堅持讓喬恩給包括不友好接待員在內的所有人寫感謝信，暗示感謝信可能有特殊作用。
回應：續寫中公司因喬恩真誠的感謝信，尤其是對不易被關注的接待員也表達感謝，認可他的為人與專業，決定錄用他，體現出感恩細節影響結果。
伏筆：喬恩認為給 CEO 或接待員寫感謝信無助于獲得工作，與后文感謝信起關鍵作用形成反差。
回應：他得知被錄用原因后，認識到自己想法錯誤，明白了感恩細節的力量，完成觀念轉變。
伏筆：喬恩面試結束交上八封感謝信，為后文公司提及感謝信 “脫穎而出” 做鋪墊。
回應：公司來電肯定感謝信，側面反映出喬恩在眾多求職者中因感恩細節獲青睞，前后呼應。
伏筆：喬恩不敢接電話，篤定自己未被錄取，使懸念升級，增強故事張力。
回應：接聽后得知被錄用，驚喜感加倍，突出這份工作到來的意外性與感謝信的關鍵地位。
伏筆：媽媽雖覺對成年兒子提要求有些尷尬，但堅持讓他寫感謝信，預示媽媽的堅持有深意。
回應：結果證明媽媽正確，媽媽的堅持促使喬恩養成感恩習慣，收獲理想工作，彰顯家長引導的重要性。
三、續寫要點
（一）第一段
故事線：我靠在墻邊，聽到喬恩接聽電話。先是一陣短暫沉默，接著他倒吸一口氣，隨后聲音因激動而顫抖，連聲道謝，言語中滿是驚喜與難以置信。掛了電話，他飛奔出房間，臉上洋溢著燦爛笑容，迫不及待要與我分享喜悅。
情感線：喬恩從接電話前的忐忑、篤定失敗，到得知錄用后的驚喜、興奮，情緒瞬間轉變，內心滿是意外收獲工作的激動。
（二）第二段
故事線：我微笑著問喬恩獲聘原因，他眼中閃爍光芒，告訴我公司對感謝信印象深刻，稱贊他的真誠、周全，尤其提及對接待員的感謝與眾不同，展現良好品德與職業素養。喬恩感慨媽媽堅持正確，明白了感恩細節意義重大，我也欣慰他成長，深知生活中小事蘊含大能量。
情感線：喬恩心懷感恩，對媽媽的堅持從抵觸轉為認可、感激；我為喬恩成長、努力得到回報而喜悅、自豪，彼此情感升溫，感恩氛圍濃厚。

五、寫作示范
第一篇
I leant against the wall and heard everything he was saying. “Hello This is Jon.” There was a momentary hush, and then his voice cracked with emotion. “I got the job Oh my god, that's incredible!” He stammered, clearly overcome with shock. I could visualize his wide eyes and gaping mouth. “Thank you so much for giving me this chance.” His words tumbled out in a rush. After a few more hurried exchanges, he ended the call and burst through the door, his cheeks flushed with elation.
I asked Jon the reason why he got the job with a smile. “Mom, you won't believe it. They said my thank-you notes set me apart. They loved how I took the time to acknowledge everyone, even when it wasn't easy. It showed I was a person of integrity and respect. I never thought something so small could matter so much.” Jon looked at me, his gaze filled with newfound respect. “I'm so grateful you made me do it. This changes everything.” I nodded, my heart swelling with pride. It was a lesson neither of us would forget: that gratitude has the power to transform lives.
第二篇
I leant against the wall and heard everything he was saying. “Hi, yes, this is Jon.” Silence reigned for a split second, then a sharp intake of breath. “Really I'm hired Thank you!” His voice soared with jubilation. I could sense his body tensing with excitement. “I truly appreciate it.” He gushed, his words dripping with gratitude. After wrapping up the call, he barreled into the room, a grin splitting his face from ear to ear.
I asked Jon the reason why he got the job with a smile. “Mom, they told me it was the thank-you notes. They were struck by my sincerity and attention to detail. Writing to the receptionist especially caught their eye. It signaled that I could handle any situation with grace. I realize now how wrong I was to doubt it.” Jon's eyes sparkled with revelation. “I understand the value of these little things now. Thanks to you.” I smiled back, knowing that this moment was a testament to the power of kindness and gratitude. It was a victory not just for Jon, but for the principle of giving thanks.
One possible version:
I leant against the wall and heard everything he was saying. “Yes, I’m still interested,” he said. There was a long pause, and then Jon cleared his throat and added, “Yes, I look forward to receiving the welcome packet in the mail, and thank you again for this opportunity.” I tried to pretend like I hadn’t heard, but I was not that good of an actress. I grabbed Jon’s arm, and we danced around the kitchen happily.
I asked Jon the reason why he got the job with a smile. Even if he was so excited and satisfied, he hesitated for a moment and replied cheerfully, “Thanks, mom. I must owe it to the thank-you note. Obviously, the best thank-you note makes a difference.” Jon got it. Actually, I got my first job by writing a thank-you note to everyone I met during the interview. And I’m sure that, one day, Jon will be sharing the power of a thank-you note with his children.
