提示性作文：就是给出一个标题或无标题，给出具体的内容，规定一定的字数，让考生写出作文。由于这类作文已经规定了文章的中心思想和主要内容，因此考生可以不再列出提纲，只要把注意力集中在如何正确、完整地用英文词句表达出中心思想和内容就可以了。
写好提示性作文应注意的事项
1、仔细审题，明确要求。对所给信息反复，弄清这个题目要表达什么，然后对所给信息进行整理、组织，按照自己的写作思路使之条理化。
2、确保语言精炼。在写作过程中，考生应时刻提醒自己按照已给出的信息点去写，不必有太多的发挥。但也不必按照信息点去逐句翻译。用自己熟悉的短语、句型去体现要点。掌握好文章的长度，不要字数过多或过少。
例题分析
一、汉语提示
根据中文提示和英文提示词语，写一篇意思连贯、符合逻辑的短文。所给英文提示词语必须用上。字数60～70左右。
1、昨天晚上我和妈妈出去散步。
2、在路上我遇到了一个外国人。
3、他向我询问去温泉饭店(theHotSpringHotel)的路。
4、我告诉他沿着路往前走，在第三个转弯处向左拐就能看见饭店。
5、他非常感谢我，我也为能帮他而感到高兴。
提示词语：go out for a walk, on the road, the way to, walk along, on the left, thank for, be happy that(分析)
写作指导：根据提示我们了解到这是一篇记叙文，所以考生应马上想到时间(yesterday evening)，地点(on the road)，人物(I, my mother and a foreigner)，事件(howto show the way)。其次观察信息点，我们确定这篇文章应用过去式来表达。然后，确定这个事件应用第一人称来叙述。最后，按照信息点合理组织文章，别忘用上提示词语。
(例文)
Yesterday evening,I went out for a walk with my mother.On the road,we met a foreigner.
He asked me the way to the Hot Spring Hotel.I told him to walk along the road and take the third turning on the left, then he could see the hotel.He thanked me very much for my help.I was happy that I could help him.
二、英语提示
你收到一封咨询信，请你以旅行社工作人员的身份完成任务。
Dear Ace Travel,
Im Li Ming, from the east of China. For the coming winter vacation, my family and I want to spend our vacation in a foreign city for ten days. We would like to go somewhere not only warm but also interesting. We dont mind how far we have to go. It has to be a place where we can swim everyday, and it would be nice if our hotel is not expensive but clean and comfortable. We like to pay no more than $ 5,000 for the trip. Could you please give us your suggestions for vacation spots?
Thanks a lot.
Yours,
Li Ming

One Possible version:
Dear Li Ming,
Im Gina. Its my pleasure to give you some suggestions for your vacation spots. According to your letter, I think either Sydney or Hawaii is the best choice because they are both warm and interesting. There are some inexpensive hotels, which are clean and comfortable in both places. Whats more, you can enjoy sunshine, walk on the beach and swim every day.
Besides, there are many good museums in Sydney. (Its also a wonderful place for shopping. )And if you go to Hawaii, you could have a visit to Pearl Harbor, which is quite educational and historical. (And you can also enjoy exotic dances. )
Thats just my idea. I hope it would give you some help.
Yours,
Gina
