標題作文
標題作文是一種常見的傳統式命題作文，它除了給出明確的標題外，沒有任何附加條件、要求和提示，考生可採取不同的角度對主題進行闡述。寫標題作文時，由於考生寫作的唯一依據就是給定的標題，所以認真審題，確切理解題意，把握主題範圍，選擇文章展開的方向，就顯得尤為重要。寫作時首先應對標題進行審視，以確定文章的體裁、中心思想、寫作範圍和論述或描述的角度。然後安排文章的段落層次，選擇所需材料，並在此基礎上提煉出段落主題句，藉以表達作者的基本思想、觀點。通過某種寫作方法（如舉例法、定義法、因果法等）進一步論述或描寫主題句所包含的思想、觀點，完成各個段落。最後將各段落連綴成篇，並對全文作認真細緻的檢查修改，使之進一步完善。現試舉一例，以做分析說明：
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic
“Television”. Your composition should be based on your own understanding of the topic
and it should be no less than 120 words long.
給定的作文標題是Television，因此，寫電視的發展史，寫電視的工作原理，寫電視的節目安排，或者寫電視在日常生活中的作用，這些內容都切題。假設我們確定寫電視在日常生活中的作用，那么我們就應圍繞這個主題構思、選材。由於CET-4寫作在篇幅上的限制，可以把文章的內容限定在以下範圍。
1．電視的一般作用；
2．電視的教育作用；
3．電視有害的一面。
經構思和收集材料，提煉出段落主題句：
1．Television presents a vivid world in front of us.
2．Television can also play an educational role in our daily life.
3．However, television can also be harmful.
對給定的標題和提煉出的主題句進行分析，決定文章的表達方式和材料的取捨。從總體來看，這篇文章屬於說明文，宜作例證來擴展主題句，形成段落，也就是用例子把主題句具體化。第一段可列舉電視播放的世界範圍的有趣節目，如新聞報導，文體比賽等。第二段只寫電視作為一種大眾媒介所起的政治宣傳作用是不夠的，可較多地強調專業性很強的教學節目。第三段與前面兩段是轉折關係，前面兩段寫了電視的利，該段應著重點明電視的弊，列舉電視的主要弊端。結尾最好能對全文作一個小結。
參考範文：
Television
Television presents a vivid world in front of us. On television, we can watch exciting football matches or Olympic marathons. We can “travel” to New York to pay tribute to the Statue of Liberty or to London to attend the royal wedding. We can also “go” to a concert with a cup of coffee at hand. With a TV set, we can learn many things happening in the world without going outside our houses.
Television can also play an educational role in our daily life. Besides regular courses for TV university students, television also offers various educational programs for different viewers. Children like “Tangram”; young people like “the ABC of Computers”; and elderly people like “Life and Health”. Of all the educational programs, “English on Sunday” is my favorite.
However, television can also be harmful. It hurts our eyes and can cause nearsightedness. Watching too much TV influences our sleep and work and cuts down children’s study time. Furthermore, some TV programs are not ideologically sound, so we should watch them selectively. In short, we should regard television as our slave, not our master.
