在英語四六級考試中，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。
那麼，應該如何分配考試的寫作時間呢?我們建議考生把30分鐘的時間分成三部分。
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。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The Popularity of Adventure Activities. You should write at least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1)笨豬跳、攀巖等冒險活動受到很多人的歡迎，尤其是年輕人群
2)有人認為這些活動很危險，應該被限制或禁止;有人卻認為這種活動給人們帶來很多新鮮的感覺，因此應該鼓勵
3)你怎麼看?說明你的理由
【思路點撥】
本題屬於提綱式文字命題。提綱第1點指出一種現象，提綱第2點提出了對該現象的兩種對立觀點，提綱第3點要求表明“我”的立場，由此可判斷本文應為對比選擇型作文。
根據所給提綱，本文應包含如下內容：描述諸如笨豬跳、攀巖等冒險活動的流行，引出對其的爭議：應不應該限制或禁止;表明“我”對冒險活動的看法，並說明理由。
【參考範文】
The Popularity of Adventure Activities
Nowadays, there are more and more adventure activities, like bungee jumping and rocking, which enjoy great popularity, especially among the youth. Some people think these activities are of high risk and should be constrained or even be forbidden, while others insist these activities bring people fresh experience and should be encouraged. As for me, I agree with the latter opinion。
The following reasons can support my view. Firstly, attending adventure activities is a fashionable and efficient means to temper people’s courage and willpower, which is scarcely seen among modern young people. Secondly, people in modern society are facing great pressure. Taking adventure activities has been proved to be an very effective channel to alleviate the pressure of working and life. Finally, from the economic point of view, it’s a new economic growth point which will surely attract a lot of people to take part in。
From the foregoing, we can safely draw a conclusion that adventure activities bring us many rewarding enjoyments and we should try to ensure its sound development. But it is worth noting that adventure activities are not suitable to everyone. These activities require good health condition. Therefore, people should take full account before taking any adventure activity。
