As a new question type of the new college entrance examination, continuation writing has gradually become another major hot spot of current teaching research. At present, the relevant researches mainly focus on the promoting effect, synergistic effect and reading materials of continuation writing, but neglect that students should also pay attention to the author's writing intention and the internal logic of style in the process of continuation writing. Therefore, with the help of the theoretical achievements of narrative research, this paper builds a rapport strategy framework from three aspects: characters, plot and language, guided by the central theme of the original text. In addition, this paper also selected a sample of continuation writing in the college entrance examination for analysis, trying to put forward some specific suggestions for the current teaching of continuation writing.
