根据《在职人员以研究生毕业同等学力申请硕士学位外国语课程水平统一考试大纲》的规定，要求考生具备一定的写作能力，在30分钟内按要求写出一篇100～120词的短文，形式可以是按所给的提纲写短文，或描述图表，写内容提要、概述等。分值为15分。
从某种意义上来说，同等学力英语作文有点类似“八股文”：因为它有固定的写作格式、结构。对于固定的题型，有固定不变的表达法。因此，大家有理由相信只要训练方法得当，对付写作是不难的。我认为最好的方法就是多背范文和常用句型。包括各类型作文的开头、结尾句、中间展开、过渡句，以及比较、图表说明等的常用句型和表达法，然后自己多动笔写一写，只要按这样的方法进行练习，短时间内就可以在写作上取得满意的分。下面给大家介绍一些常用的过渡词和句型：

近来在一些发达地区出现网上购物热
一些人喜欢网上购物
另一些人不喜欢网上购物
参考范文：
Recently, shopping on the Net is gradually becoming popular in modern cities. To illustrate, we can conduct E-business, advertise our products, book an air ticket, buy and sell stocks, even hunt a job on the web. However, people take different attitudes towards the new way of shopping.
Some people who prefer shopping on the virtual shopping centers hold that the new way of shopping has many advantages. First, the web-stores can keep customers updated about the best selling products. Besides, they can provide customers with a wider range of choices. Most important of all, it is very convenient and time-saving. People can stay at home shopping whatever they want online.
However, others who stick to shopping in the real-life stores have their reasons. First, they argue that it’s a little bit complicated to pay on the Web. Besides, they think that customers can never believe the quality of the commodities unless they see them with their own eyes. Finally, they believe the best way to be on guard against the fake and poor quality commodities is to shop in the traditional way. Therefore, they don’t show any interest in shopping online. (However, more and more people will prefer shopping on the Web. And it’s believed that it will eventually be a trend of shopping in the 21st century.)---可加可不加
1、金融危机下，找工作越来越难
2、你如何保持自己在职场的不败之地
It seems that the financial crisis has made it more and more difficult for people for find a good job. Meanwhile (At the same time), it becomes even harder for us to keep our positions, because there are more applicants available.
So, how can we make us always successful in our career? In my perspective, there are at least three ways, which are compatible with the current situation. Above all, we should recharge ourselves through various methods, such as training and part-time education. It is notable that this method has been holding an increasingly significant proportion. Then, we should maintain good interpersonal relationship. This belief is reinforced by a recent survey which shows that 60% of adults, more or less, the beneficiaries of the consequence. Last but not least, we should stay in touch with update information happening in our career. Although there are some other measures to help us, I think the above mentioned are commonly acceptable.

此外还想对对考生提出几点建议，以下几方面是考生在复习准备期间和考试时应特别注意的：
(一)考前准备
考生在考前应写几篇短文，先找自己感兴趣的题目写。对一些从没写过英语作文的考生来说，要克服畏难情绪，写第一篇作文时，考生有可能出现较多较严重的错误，但不要紧，因为只有迈出第一步，才能取得更大的进步，否则会永远停留在不会写的水平上。建议考生自己动笔，写前不要看范文，可以参考一下写作提示，写完后再与范文对照。另外，不要死记硬背范文，考生应从范文中找出自己喜好和需要的句型或词汇记忆，因为作文没有唯一的标准答案，只要写得好就会得高分。
(二)避免写错句
作文要表达清楚，错句、语病太多肯定影响表达思想。因而考生在写作时一定要首先做到尽可能地减少错误，在此基础上才可以考虑有一些句式的变化。如果为了追求句式的变化而出现一些本来可以避免的错误，同样会影响成绩。同时，写作时还应避开自己不会用英文表达的思想，使用自己有把握的句型和词汇，这样才能更好地避免错误。
(三)篇幅适中
由于写作的时间只有30分钟，篇幅要求100词左右，因此考生在确定段落的主题句之后，只要围绕段落的中心思想写三至五句，把意思表达清楚即可。一般情况下，一篇三段文的短篇，各段的长度应相差不多，不应在前二段中花太多的时间，而后一段只匆匆写了一句，这样做也会影响成绩。
(四)修改定稿
修改定稿是考生在考场应试时决不能缺少的一步。考生在30分钟的写作考试中应留出2至3分钟，把自己的作文通读一遍，检查错句及语病。相当多的考生是能分辨错误的，只是写时未加注意，只要认真检查，许多常见错误如主谓一致问题、大小写问题、拼写及标点符号等都是可以自己更正的。如果考生在平时的写作训练中抓住这一环节养成习惯，正式考试时就不会忽视改定稿了。
