命题作文是常见的作文测试题型。其写作特点是：短文写作仅提供了题目或大标题，如My Friend，Movies and TV，The Hope Project，What Do you Usually Do after Class?等。这就给考生提供了更大的发挥空间，短文的论点需要考生根据作文题目提供的信息自己确定，然后展开讨论，最后得出结论。例如：

　　Directions：For this part，you are supposed to write a composition in English in 100-120 words based on the following topic.Remember to write it clearly.
