英语考试作文试题的一个特点就是时限性，即在有限的时间内，一般分配30分钟，按试题要求完成作文试题。很多同学不知道英语写什么，那你想知道英语作文可以写什么吗?接下来小编告诉你英语作文可以写什么，大家一起来看看吧!
如何写不同类型英语作文：
步骤一：认真审题立意，确定写作中心。找出根据这个中心能够扩展的材料有哪些，要避免那些与中心内容无关的细节。以命题作文“The Classmate I Admire Most”为例，文章的主题是关于记叙我最欣赏的一位同学，因而就不能泛泛谈论这位同学的家庭关系、社会背景等，而要紧紧抓住这位同学身上能够吸引你的地方展开去。
步骤二：围绕中心，列出写作提纲。提纲一定要包含所提供的情景、要点，同时尽量使用自己熟悉的词汇与句型。仍以“The Classmate I Admire Most”为例，提纲可以这样写：
① Who is the Classmate I admire most?
② My reasons. (Some Examples)
③ What can I learn from the classmate.
步骤三，根据字数要求，扩展成篇。有几个可以遵循的规律，供大家参考：
1、在整篇文章中，努力避免只是用一、两个句式。要灵活运用各种句式。如倒装句、强调句、省略句、主从复合句、对比句、分词短语、介词短语等。
2、使用不同长度的句子，通过分句和合句，增强句子地连贯性和表现力。
3、改变句子的开头方式，不要一味以主、谓、宾、状的次序，可以把状语置于句首，或用分词等。
步骤四、利用最后的时间做“机械性”写作练习，强化记忆。例如：常用的应用文如通知、书信等都有其固定的格式及写作技巧，读懂具体内容，然后把内容套进特定的格式中去，就是一篇条理清楚的书面表达了。

英语作文结尾怎样写：
1.自然结尾，点明主题
随着文章的结束，文章自然而然地结尾。
如“Helping the Policeman(帮助警察)”的结尾可以是：The two children were praised by the police and they felt happy。
再如“The Tortoise and the Hare(龟兔赛跑)”的结尾可以是：When the hare got to the tree, the tortoise had already been there。
2.反问结尾，引起深思
这种方式的结尾虽然形式是问句，但意义却是肯定的，而且具有一定的强调作用，可引起他人的深思。
如“Learning English can give us a lot of pleasure。
(学英语能为我们带来许多乐趣)”的结尾可以是：If we learn English well, we can... Don't you think learning English is great fun?
3.表达祝愿，阐述愿望
这种方式的结尾常出现在书信或演讲稿的文体中，表示对他人的祝福或对将来的展望等。
如“A Letter to the Farmers(给农民们的一封信)”的结尾可以是：I hope the farmers' life will be better and better。
另外，书信的结尾常有以下形式的祝福语：Best wishes; I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year; I wish you have a good time等。
