在英語六級考試中，很多考生拿到作文題目之後就直接動筆開寫，其實這是一個誤區，因為30分鐘的寫作時間絕對綽綽有餘，如果直接開寫，很容易造成內容跑題，或寫到一半發現無話可說的現象，導致考生開始絞盡腦汁的編句子，湊字數。
1、準備時間(5分鐘)
如果沒有充分的準備，看完作文題目就直接動手寫，會讓考生寫到最後無話可說。俗話說得好：磨刀不誤砍柴工。所以，何不分出一點時間讓自己好好的思考改怎麼寫呢?
在這充足的5分鐘內，先審題，看清題目要求，免得寫偏題了。然後進行一個提綱和內容的構思，想清楚自己文章的大致結構，是否需要舉例說明等等。
2、撰寫時間(20分鐘)
在正式寫作的時候，也要注意以下幾點：
(1)如無把握，寧願寫簡單句也不寫長難句。
(2)卷面整潔。清晰明瞭的段落和結構、工整的字跡會給閱卷老師留下深刻的正面印象;如果一不小心寫錯單詞，千萬不要塗黑，一筆劃掉就好。
3、檢查時間(5分鐘)
由於考試時間和條件等諸多因素的.限制，考生寫作的時候會出現很多問題，於是這就需要在寫完後進行一個檢查了。主要檢查以下三個點：
(1)拼寫是否正確。看文章中是否有拼錯的單詞、多餘的符號和寫掉的介詞等等。
(2)用詞和搭配是否正確。
(3)語法是否正確。主要是人稱、時態、語態是否正確，有沒有出現本應用過去時態卻用的是現在時，動詞的三人稱單複數是否用正確了。

作文題目：Why Blue Jeans Popular?
[範文]
Everywhere you go, you'll see people, male or female, old or young, wearing jeans. Indeed, jeans have grown more and more popular since the first pair was born. In newspapers and magazines or on TV you often come across such ads as "Buy these jeans they are cheap. Buy them — they are hard wearing. Buy them — they are comfortable." I think there is no cheating in these ads.
In the first place, jeans are so cheap that almost everyone can afford to buy a pair, especially for students and wage-earners. No one would not pay less and get more.
That jeans wear well and wash well is their second superiority to other kinds of trousers. Wherever you go and whatever you do, you'll find jeans your good companion. Made of pure cotton, jeans are very comfortable. What is more, they produce a good image and make you look casual, sporty, tough, elegant, and sophisticated.
Modern fashions come and go quickly, but, thanks to Levi Strauss, jeans always remain people's first choice.
