在CET-6寫作題中，提示性作文是較常見的一種。一般要求寫三段，除給出題目之外，還在每一段段首或段末給出提示語。提示語可能是半句、一句或兩段三句話，間或還可能僅是一個過渡性詞語，要求考生根據(jù)提示續(xù)寫。這類寫作形式固定，但要求卻十分靈活。因此考生在審題時要特別注意。
例1：Writing（30minutes）
Directions：
For this part，you are allowed 30minutes to write a composition about The Tape Recorder in three paragraphs．You are given the first sentence of each paragraph and are required to develop its idea to complete the paragraph．Write about 35words for each paragraph，not including the words given． Therefore，your part of the composition should be about l20 words．Remember to write clearly．
The Tape Recorder
1．The tape recorder is one of the most welcome and popular electronic devices ever invented．
2．This device is useful in many ways．
3．However，it can also become a nuisance．
研究了每一段所給出的提示語后，考生應(yīng)領(lǐng)悟到以下幾點(diǎn)：
1．這篇文章是要求寫成說明文，而不是要求寫成議論文或記敘文。因為試題中既沒有給出要求論證的鮮明的論點(diǎn)，也沒有要求考生用一般的事例來擴(kuò)張，不適合用具體的人稱或事例來敘述。
2．從第一段給出的提示語即段首的句子來看，命題者要求將這一段寫成導(dǎo)入段落而不是一個主題段落。因為，這個句子涉及的范圍太大。用一個主題段落根本無法寫清楚。因此，為了與下一段自然銜接，考生可將主題自行縮些
例2：Women in the Modern World
1．Women are playing an increasingly important part in society today．
2．With the changes in their social role，women's position in the family has been improved as well．
3．In spite of these changes，the liberation of women has not been completely realized．此題考生應(yīng)注意到：
1．第一段是前提，關(guān)鍵突出婦女在現(xiàn)代社會中日益體現(xiàn)的重要作用，內(nèi)容不要太具體但要為下一段做好鋪墊。
2．第二段是第一段“因”的“果”。正因為婦女地位的提高，家庭地位才極大提高。
3．第三段指出婦女解放運(yùn)動的不足，仍然有很長的路要走。
4．注意：婦女解放運(yùn)動是一個很大的話題，不要展開的太多；否則文章松散，脫離中心，收不回來。
參考樣文：
（I）The Tape Recorder
The tape recorder is one of the most welcome and popular electronic devices ever invented．Everybody likes it and uses it，and wherever we go，in shops，schools or public places of entertainment，we can see and hear tape recorders being played．
This device is useful in many ways．It is not only widely used in our daily life such as filming，sporting，exercising and entertaining， but it is an essential instrument for the young to learn foreign languages，for the old to listen to music or Peking Opera and for English teachers to make their classes lively and interesting．
However，it can also become a nuisance if we use it impro-perly．It will have a bad effect on ourselves or others if we play it too long or too frequently．So we must make good use of it to promote our study and work．
