从命题形式上，分为三大类：

1.辩论型题目（argumentation）

例:Some people say the government should not put money in the Arts, such as music, opera and paintings, but instead should spend more money on construction of public facilities. Discuss.

2．解释型题目（explanation）

例:为什么现在很多的年青人从学校毕业以后很难找到工作，分析个人原因和社会原因，可以采取什么措施来解决。

例:What are the causes of water shortages? Please also offer some solutions to deal with this problem.

3．混合型题目（Mixed）

例:In some countries, sports and entertainment personalities earn higher salaries than professionals like doctors, nurses and teachers. Why do you think this happens in some societies and do you consider it is good or bad?

例:In some countries, the national traditional arts are facing extinction. Some people think that the government should support them. Do you agree or disagree? What should the government do?
