一、提纲式作文
提纲式作文是最常见的题型，一般在题干中列出 2 点到 3 点写作提示，行文时可按照提示，将题点一一对应到各个段落。
第一段：描述现状
第二段：分析问题出现的原因
第三段：提出结论和建议
例：2012 年 6 月真题
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay On Excessive Packaging following the outline given below. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
1）目前许多商品存在过度包装的现象
2）出现这一现象的原因
3）我对这一现象的看法和建议
参考范文：
Nowadays many commodities are packaged excessively. It is very common that a very small item is wrapped in a very big and luxury box. Take the moon cake as an example. Every Mid-Autumn Day, we can see various delicate packaging boxes in which there are only a few small moon cakes. Obviously, excessive packaging has become very popular in our daily life.
Then what are responsible for this phenomenon? Firstly, many manufactures package the goods as luxuriously and beautifully as possible to raise the prices of some common goods. Secondly, many customers think that delicately packaged goods are superior to those with plain packaging, which further boosts excessive packaging.
From my point of view, delicate packaging, to some extent, means good quality, but excessive packaging is not only wasteful but also unfriendly to the environment. Therefore, on the one hand, I suggest the laws on packaging be perfected to restrict excessive packaging. On the other hand, as responsible customers, we should first consider the quality, not the packaging. This, I believe, can combat the further expansion of excessive packaging.二、情景式作文
情景式作文在题目中会限定一种身份、场景和情形，常常利用书信等应用文形式来考察考生。
情景式作文，比提纲式稍难，需要自己提炼信息拟出行文段落。一般首段交代背景，表明主题及论点；第二段用举例论证、因果论证或对比论证的方法来证明观点；第三段总结结论。
遇到书信等形式时，需要注意使用应用文的标准格式。常见的应用文有书信、致辞、告示等，要熟知这几种文章的固定格式。
例：2016 年12 月真题
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay. Suppose you are two options upon graduation: one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school. You are to make a choice between the two. Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
参考范文：
For undergraduates college students, deciding what to do upon graduation can be a tough decision to say the least. From my point of view, I prefer to pursuing postgraduate students. My choice can be attributed to the following two driving forces.
For one thing, I want to continue my studies for their own sake because I love what I am doing. In fact, having a passion for my subject is possibly the best reason to go into postgraduate education. For another thing, entering into a postgraduate school, I can improve my job prospects. Specializing at postgraduate level can make you a stronger job applicant.
Actually, when comes time for university graduates to decide their next step in life, there is no on right or wrong choice for everyone. Rather, each student must reach his or her own conclusion.
三、图画式作文
图画式作文，顾名思义要求考生通过漫画来分析写作内容。这一类题型没有给出明确的写作主题，往往容易跑题，平时多看多练很重要。
图画作文行文第一段描述图片内容，第二段联系现实，阐述自己的观点，第三段总结结论。
例：2015 年 6 月真题
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then comment on this kind of modern life. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
参考范文：
As is symbolically illustrate in the cartoon, a person is always staying in front of a computer no matter whether he or she is working, studying or playing. Even when he is sleeping, the image of surfing on line is also indispensable in his sweet dreams.
The metaphorical and impressive portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of the relationship between man and computer. On the one hand, there is no denying that the computer is currently one of the most efficient tools either to entertain oneself or to meet the work's needs. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to computers to maintain face-to-face contact with their friends and colleagues. Once indulged in the fictitious world, people feel reluctant to approach others and to concentrate on real life.
Hence, it is necessary for us to use computers in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. After all, the computer is invented to connect you and me, and to bring conveniences to our life rather than set a barrier to keep people beyond reach.
四、图表式作文
值得注意的是图表中的表头标签等也是英文信息，无疑为图表式作文增加了难度。图表式作文的行文思路与图片式类似，第一段描述图表信息，第二段阐述现象原因及观点，第三段做总结。
例：2012 年12 月真题
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Education Pays based on the statistics provided in the chart below (Weekly earnings of 2010). Please give a brief description of the chart first andthen make comments on it. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
参考范文：
This chart is provided by U.S. Bureau of Labor and it is simple but enlightening. In 2010, it had become a trend for doctors, masters and bachelors to earn more money in a week in US—$1551, $1272 and $1038. Meanwhile, other people, who did not receive better education, could not enjoy satisfactory earnings.
The chart shows that if one individual intends to acquire better earnings, it is advisable for him or her to gain higher degrees firstly. Thus, we can say that this chart can be naturally associated with close relation between income and education. Indeed, in the contemporary America, it is a common phenomenon for a host of companies to hire recruit doctors and masters and pay them better salaries. As a result, an increasing number of youngsters find it rather difficult to get better jobs, if they do not get better education. This proves a fact, that is, employees and employers in large numbers have come to realize the significance of higher degrees. It is education that enables one to build up adequate knowledge, skills and ability to deal with important tasks.
Everyone should bear in mind that education means a worthy investment. As a college student, I wan to say that it is of great necessity for all youngsters to enhance ourselves by studying hard and getting better degrees.
