At the beginning of this year, my daughter Helen spent a month in the hospital fighting for her life. Since then, she has had to deal with the disease as well as many side effects. She has met each challenge, disappointment, and setback with courage.
With her 16th birthday approaching, Helen dreamt of a party and campfire at the beach with friends, relatives, and her beloved dog, Ginger. It took a while, but I finally found a good beach that allowed dogs and campfires and had easy access. However, a week before her party, Helen's disease worsened.
Our friend Ian called the night before the party and turned our plans upside down. The small beach we'd selected and the surrounding beaches would host a 30,000 - person event on the party night and would be closed. It was a disaster because we had researched: no other nearby beach would work.
Helen had set her heart on having her dog and a campfire at the beach, but as usual, she didn't complain. In her young life, she's dealt with much worse things than a destroyed birthday party. She sat down and began to quietly cry. After a while Helen decided she'd rather have the party at our home so she could have her dog and a campfire. We called the invitees with the changed plans.
How to design a party at home with dogs and campfires was a challenge. It occurred to us that we could make full use of our yard. Ian's wife Jayme came first with some small signs, which read：“Welcome to Campbell Beach, where dogs and campfires are welcome. Where the beach is small, the waves are so far away you must close your eyes to see them, but not so the love for Helen and her little dog. Happy Birthday, Helen!”

An hour later, Ian arrived with a loaded truck.
Helen and her friends couldn't wait to play on the sand.

答案： **范文赏读**：An hour later, Ian arrived with a loaded truck. Hardly had Ian arrived when we began to unload from the truck（hardly... when...“一……就……”句型）, which was filled with plenty of sand, palm trees, beach toys, and other necessities for the party（which引导的非限制性定语从句）. Words failed me（我不知道该说什么了）as I was overcome with（受到……的极大影响）a mixture of surprise and gratitude[神态描写，描绘作者的惊喜与感激]. We made an effort（努力）to set everything up in the yard, small signs hanging（独立主格结构）. Small as the beach was（as引导的让步状语从句的倒装结构）, Helen was unable to contain her joy and excitement[神态描写，描绘Helen的开心与兴奋]. With all the things arranged well（with复合结构）, the guests arrived. Helen and her friends couldn't wait to play on the sand. Not only did they build their sand castles, but they also lit torches and enjoyed the company of the campfire（not only... but also...句型）. With the dog barking happily[环境描写，侧面烘托欢乐的气氛], the children were laughing and playing on the “beach” around the campfire. When it was cake time, all the friends sang songs together to express their wishes to Helen. The birthday girl was in high spirits（情绪高涨）. It was the “beach” built with so much love that made her blessed with an unforgettable birthday（强调句，其中built with so much love是过去分词短语作后置定语）.
