距离2014考研还有20天的时间，考研复习进入了最后冲刺阶段，新东方在线全国研究生入学考试研究中心英语教研室建议大家这一阶段不仅要坚持练习真题，更要抓紧时间准备大、小作文。

　　根据作文内容可将其分为10大类。其实从文章功能来看，我们可把这10大类文章归为三种类型：解决问题、论证观点、阐述现象。其中第一类具有解决问题功能的短文包括了：1、身体健康类;2、职业道德类;3、人口增长类;4、环境保护类。第二类具有论证观点功能的短文包括了：5、情感类;6、人生价值类。第三类具有阐述现象功能的短文包括了：7、文化交流类;8、教育类;9、家庭关系类;10、社会热点类。除了以上三项功能，我们还将在文章的最后列出两个具有对比论证功能的模板。虽然自从1997年以来的历年短文题目中没有出现要求进行对比论证的话题，但是考生仍然应该有所准备，因为对比论证是英文写作的一种重要写作手法，需要引起一定的重视。
