考研專家結(jié)合歷年考研英語作文試題分析，從寫作內(nèi)容及形式上看，均為控制性寫作，題材類型分為幾類：標(biāo)題作文、提綱作文、圖表作文、規(guī)定情景式作文及綜合型作文等。例如：

　　一、主題句作文

　　主句作文也稱為段首句作文，要求考生在每段所給主題句基礎(chǔ)上加以擴(kuò)展，完成段落，再由段落組成文章。主題句作文是目前較常用的一種出題方式，它不像一般正規(guī)文章那樣要求具有開頭段和結(jié)尾段，一般只給出三句主題句，所以屬于一種簡單的三段式作文。

　　Example 1

　　Title: Dictionary……

　　(1) The dictionary is a living teacher

　　(2) Skills will develop with your constant use of various dictionaries. ……

　　(3) But you should have one thing in mind……

　　Dictionary

　　The dictionary is living teacher. Whenever you come across a new word, just consult it and you will get a clear definition. Every student, whether attending school or self-taught, should always have a dictionary at hand. As a study aid, it is convenient, inexpensive and all-knowing.

　　Skills will develop with your constant use of various dictionaries The more you use them, the more familiar you will become with them. Sooner or later, you will be quite skilled in finding the page, scanning the entries and locating the exact meaning of the new words.

　　But you should have one thing mind. As a language student, you should never depend too much on dictionaries. Basic language skill do not come from dictionaries, but from your practice. Learn the language by listening, speaking, reading and writing more, and that is the only way to the mastery of a language.
