2013年考研英语一作文的题目，在形式上和内容上，都完美的反应了2012年9月所发布的英语大纲的相关理念：即中规中矩，稳中有变。
在小作文方面，体裁不变，出题内容和形式上有所调整。
2013年的英语一小作文，考察体裁仍然为信。这是考研小作文自2005年成为英语一的考察题型之后，连续第三年考察书信体裁。也是除2010年以外第八次考察书信格式。
要注意凡是书信，都有相关的体裁的格式要求，即在文都课堂上，我反复强调过的“小作文重格式”的意义所在。
书信的体裁格式十分固定，我们可以针对其内容，提前准备如下：
(1)人称：Dear Sir or Madam,
(2)自我介绍：I am…… who
(3)感谢：My appreciation to you for your generous help is beyond words.
Words fail me when I want to express my sincere gratitude to you.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
(4)回信： I look forward to a favorable reply at your earliest convenience.
Your prompt attention to my letter would be highly appreciated.
(5)落款：your sincerely，Li Ming
以上的内容是无论什么小作文都可以使用的固定内容，即可以不变的内容。结合今年的真题，我们一样可以使用如上提前准备好的内容，所以说考研小作文是“中规中矩”的。
而小作文的“稳中有变”，即其内容上的考察的变化，和出题方式的变化。
在原有的2011年和2012年的小作文的题干中，有关于小作文的书信内容的提示，是使用了分项提示的方式。这种原有的方式呢，会使考生较为容易掌握相关的考察重点。但是，也较为容易组织提纲。
而在今年，小作文题目的题干，是以一句话提示的方式给出即“Write an e-mail of about 100 words to a foreign teacher in your college，inviting him/her to be a judge for the upcoming English speech contest.”
这句话的内容，其实了许多的重要信息，其中，直接给我们的是：
(1)写作目的：邀请
(2)人物关系：师生
(3)活动名称：English speech contest.
(4)出席目的：be a judge for the contest
在这些直接给出的信息外，其题干中还隐藏了一些相关内容：
(1)人物关系：虽然同一“college”，但是陌生人，所以自我介绍，应出现“student”，
(2)隐含内容：比赛的时间地点
(3)活动举办：没有说，所以，随便写咯。
通过这种出题方式的变化，英语一的小作文，就其形式上和内容上，对于原有的方式，转变为更加灵活的内容。这其实是对学生的复习深度和英语应试能力的一种深化考察。
所以，我们要将我们之前准备的有关于“邀请的”句加入写作即可。
范文(126)
Dear Sir or Madam,

The purpose of the letter that I am writing is to invite you to be a judge for the English speech contest which is host by CCAV.

大作文的内容，则更是没有任何的“惊喜”，即从图片，到内容，都可以说是延续了历年的出题方向。考研了与大学生相关的六类主题其中之的成长内容。(相关主题文件请见作者微博：weibo.com/u2miss)
可以说，其内容是完全符合复合我们预料，所以，我们可以给出评价：中规中矩!
面对此内容，我们可以结合之前准备的内容，轻松的写出作文如下：
范文：237
As is vividly depicted in the picture, many young people are standing together when they find that there are so many ways to go.Thus，all of them are stopping there and waiting for help. Obviously, it is the shortage of confidence for their future that makes it impossible for them to get the attainment they want.
Simple as it is, what the picture conveys to us is thought-provoking. With the development of economy and society, competition is increasingly fierce and there are more and more chances for us. But it is impossible for the ones to achieve attainments if they have no striving spirit to surmount the difficulties. Hence, people in mounting numbers put great emphasis on the striving spirit. In fact, it has been universally acknowledged that the ability of fighting is the most essential qualification that anyone who wants to achieve success should possess.
To my way of thinking，the problem that all of the college are just stopping and waiting but no fighting and thinking will generate severe consequences .Measures should be adopted before things get worse.It is high time that all of us ,parents，educators，and the authorities, make combined efforts to make young people change their outlook of life and acquire determined spirit. Only by this way is it reasonable for us to believe that this problem can be perfectly solved in the near future.
