2013年12月四六級考試在即，新東方線上網路課堂四六級輔導團隊老師分析，13年12月最有可能考的`功能段落應該是：現象、建議、意義和原因;次之為危害和觀點對比。無論考何種形式作文，最簡易的處理方式是：有漢語提綱則按照漢語提綱寫相應的功能段落，若無漢語提綱則按照話題和內容要求直接寫相應的功能表達或自己列出基本提綱再寫相應功能表達!圖表和圖畫、書信亦可如此!
圖畫、話語評論和圖表作文可按照相同模式來處理：首段引出話語，圖畫和圖表，並對其內容描述評論;二段寫對應現象、意義或危害，尾段寫看法和建議並展望!背誦功能表達組合完成作文。
近年四六級跑題率很高，審題是關鍵，建議關注1 體裁+話題;2內容要求：英文提示/漢語提綱;3字數。如13年6月六級"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed." 應關注四類詞：名動形副，如earth, satisfy, man, greed等，對應寫現象、意義、建議或危害。以下作文為新東方線上網路課堂四六級老師給出的指導範文，希望廣大考生認真學習參考。
