Since the emergence of the continuation task, how to achieve efficient alignment between “reading” and “writing” has always been a crucial and challenging point in high school English teaching, and this task pays more attention to testing students’ discourse analysis ability than before. Labov’s narrative analysis model is distinctly instructive for students to read from the perspective of overall discourse analysis. It can not only answer the questions of “what to read”and “how to read”but also pave the way for “what to write” and “how to write” and point out the direction. Based on Labov’s narrative analysis model, this paper takes the continuation task of volumes I and II of the new college entrance examination in 2022 as an example, expounds on how to predict the story trend further and conceive the story plot based on using the model to analyze the reading text. Finally, this paper puts forward some strategies that can benefit students’ plot conception from the elements of complicating action, evaluation, and result.
