在目前常見(jiàn)的作文題目中，內(nèi)容切題一般包括兩個(gè)方面。一是寫(xiě)作內(nèi)容要圍繞題目規(guī)定的話題展開(kāi)。比如"A Five？day Week"(五天工作制)，文章的內(nèi)容應(yīng)圍繞五天工作制進(jìn)行論述，與其無(wú)關(guān)的內(nèi)容，當(dāng)以跑題論處，但此種現(xiàn)象并不多見(jiàn)。其二，在有些作文題中還包括提綱如：
　　Fire Accidents in Big Cities
　　Outline：
　　1.Present Situation
　　2.Causes
　　3.Measures
　　這種帶提綱的作文題目不僅要求考生根據(jù)標(biāo)題寫(xiě)作，而且要根據(jù)提綱規(guī)定的內(nèi)容和范圍展開(kāi)各個(gè)段落，不能按自己的思路發(fā)揮�？忌�在這方面出的問(wèn)題比較多。如 1994年考研作文題是：On Making Friends(論交友)，其三段的提綱分別是：1.The need for friends 2.True Friendship 3.My principle in making friends。第三段的提綱要求考生圍繞我交友的原則進(jìn)行議論，然而有個(gè)別考生在段中這樣寫(xiě)道：
　　The former paragraph has shown my principle in making friends in some way.Furthermore,what I want to say is that one good friend is enough.
　　該考生把應(yīng)放在第三段中論述的內(nèi)容寫(xiě)在第二段中，第三段就沒(méi)內(nèi)容可寫(xiě)了。這類命題作文要求考生按規(guī)定和要求寫(xiě)作，不能按自己的想法隨意更改，寫(xiě)上段作文的考生不僅第三段沒(méi)有扣題，第二段也沒(méi)有做到內(nèi)容切題。一篇內(nèi)容切題的作文應(yīng)能既圍繞題目，又能在各段扣準(zhǔn)提綱，才真正符合內(nèi)容切題的要求。下面這一段是另一學(xué)生的作文，都是第三段，內(nèi)容切題，恰當(dāng)?shù)乜圩?quot;我交友的原則"的寫(xiě)作要求：
　　When I choose friends,I do not care what work they do or what social background they are from,but I do notice those little things which reveal one′s characters.I would make sure that we really care for each other,so that no matter how much time goes by without seeing each other,I know my friends will always be there,ready to help if I need them,And I know we are true friends indeed.
　　(二)能正確地表達(dá)思想
　　一篇好短文能使讀者一目了然。文章的思路應(yīng)清楚，邏輯性強(qiáng)，能準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)作者的思想。請(qǐng)對(duì)比下面兩段：
　　Have you a bike?Taking a bike is a good way,most people think.But in university it seems not as good as other places.Bikes are possible to be stolen now and then.Having a bike isn′t always good enough for us to buy one.
　　上段作者的思路紊亂不清，字里行間不僅有許多語(yǔ)病，而且也沒(méi)能把思想表達(dá)清楚。讀后仍不知作者在表達(dá)什么思想、觀點(diǎn)，因而這樣的段落只能得0分。請(qǐng)看下段：
　　It is very convenient to use bikes in China.Bikes don′need fuel,nor a garage or a large parking lot.Bikes can go through narrow streets and their prices are low.So bikes are the most popular vehicles in China today.
　　上段的作者以其簡(jiǎn)單的詞匯、簡(jiǎn)潔的語(yǔ)言、清楚的思路正確地表達(dá)了思想，使讀者觀后能即刻領(lǐng)會(huì)作者的思想。
　　4.In recent years,fake goods have been discovered more and more in the market.
　　第四句是中文式的英文，這是考生作文中的常見(jiàn)錯(cuò)誤。按照英語(yǔ)的習(xí)慣可改為More and more fake goods have been discovered in the market in recent years.
　　5.The first hand I think is that law must be passed to prevent fake goods from being produced.
