一、 內(nèi)容切題，包括提綱的全部內(nèi)容
考研英語輔導(dǎo)專家認(rèn)為作文的高分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)首先是要切題。但許多考生認(rèn)為作文題己有要求和提綱，按題目寫作不會出問題。但調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示事實往往并非如此，許多考生仍然跑題或扣不準(zhǔn)題。有的考生辭不達意，有的考生主題不突出，還有的考生照搬照抄，結(jié)果文不對題。
所謂的切題指不偏離主題，提綱的所有內(nèi)容都是圍繞主題來展開的。
Example
Title: Good Health
Outline: 1. Importance of good health
2. Ways to ensure a good health
文章的主題很顯然是談?wù)摻】祮栴}，同時是圍繞健康的重要性和怎樣保持健康的身體兩方面來談?wù)摰摹Ｓ械目忌唇?jīng)仔細審題便匆匆落筆，結(jié)果將文章寫成“健康與財富”，不能滿足評分標(biāo)的第一項要求。一篇較好的文章如下：
Good Health
Good health is the best reassurance a person can possess. The world, with all its attractions and wonders, is open to those who have wealth, but they cannot enjoy it unless they have good health. It is very difficult for a man, no matter how rich, powerful or learned he may be, to be happy without good health. But if he enjoys good health, a poor and humble man can be happy. There is no doubt, therefore, that“Good health is the best wealth”
The human body is wonderful engine .It is far more delicate than a locomotive .Everyone must be the engineer and fireman of his own body. If well maintained, If it is out of order, its master will suffer. There are a number of useful rules which will ensure good health if people follow them.
Cleanliness-The body needs to be kept clean. It should be washed at least once a week in winter and once a day in summer.
Fresh air- One of the chief constituents of the air is oxygen, which is necessary for life. We ought to see that our rooms are always full of fresh air.
Food-Care should be taken that the food is wholesome and suited to the constitution.
Exercise-The muscle must be all kept exercised, although not to excess.
Sleep-The hours of sleep are very valuable, during which the mind is kept as calm and peaceful as possible. We cannot have good health unless the brain be renewed by sleep.
所以一開始短文寫作，考生應(yīng)注意以下幾個方面：
1.認(rèn)真審題。先分析題目所包含的內(nèi)容和信息，把握住出題者的意圖，確定文章屬于哪一種體裁，思考表達文體和寫作手法，以能將主題思想完美表達出來。然后仔細閱讀作文要求、提綱或其他相關(guān)內(nèi)容(如圖表、圖畫、數(shù)字說明等)，注意抓住題目和提綱中的關(guān)鍵詞及提綱要點之間的銜接和邏輯關(guān)系，進一步考慮怎樣組織段落來突出主題。以下面的試題為例：
(1) Money is regarded by some people as the most important thing in life…
(2) But money can not buy everything…
(3) There are people who gamble or cheat to obtain money…
對于這類試題，由于標(biāo)題和每段的主題句都己具備，考生要注意的就是在題目所提示的主題思想基礎(chǔ)上，按照各段主題句關(guān)鍵作出的提示和思想進行深入的論述和發(fā)揮。很明顯，本文屬于議論文題材，需要考生發(fā)表議論和看法。要注意的是，第一段中“some people”提示論述的是別人的觀點，而第二段和第三段談?wù)摰牟攀亲约旱挠^點和看法。如果在閱讀要求時不認(rèn)真，審題不仔細，就會把第一段也寫成自己的觀點，結(jié)果使第二段和第一段的不能自銜接，在邏輯上也出現(xiàn)混亂。
