带提示的作文要求习作者根据题目中给出的提示进行写作。提示可能是中文，也可能是英文。这类作文首先要求习作者根据提示写出段首句，然后完成全文的写作。它比前面的段首句作文多了一个写主题句的程序。

1. 写作技巧

1）仔细分析作文考试指令；

2)认真审题；

3)认真研究各段的提示。各段的提示与主题句一样，是习作者分别在各段需要阐明的中心或观点。抓住了提示的关键，理解了提示的含义，就能有效地组织起与中心思想有关的材料。否则关键没抓住，含义没弄清，草拟主题句就会出问题。主题句写得不好，会直接影响文章的全局。

4）拟定主题句；

5）拟定提纲；

6）扩展主题句，最后复查与修改。

范文：

The Generation Gap

Despite various improvements in all respects of social life, the generation gap between the grown-up and young remains unbridged. Instead, it grows wider apart.

Nowadays, the youths do not blindly follow what their elders say. Owing to the widespread of education, nowadays, the influence of western civilization, to a certain extent, gives them a new code of philosophy, which is completely different from that of their elders. An invisible cold wall thus appears between the two generations.

Modern youths are trying to be more revolutionary. They have their own interpretation for different matters; they also have their own ideals. Their reluctance to learn old teachings and sayings becomes the constant friction between the two generations. They always introduce new changes. However, the old people, wedded to everything of the past, are hostile to changes and the generation gap becomes wider and wider.

After all, the young generation, like the old one, is made of flesh and blood. The young also need respect and they also have skills and good ideas. In order to narrow the gap, both groups should respect each other, listen to the words of each other and should discuss patiently.

Most probably, these may help to solve the problem.
