十句作文法是由有关专家总结出来的一种高分作文方法，考生在经过短期训练之后便可较大幅度地提高成绩。为此有必要向考生加以介绍，目的是使一些对作文没有把握的考生找到一条可行的解决办法。(参考：蔡基刚《英语考试高分作文》)
需要指出的是所谓十句作文并非一定10句，从很多考生的高分(200词以下)来分析，句子数量在8句至12句(依句子长短和结构不同而不同)。如以每个句子平均10—15个单词计算，便能用8—12个句子完成一篇要求120—150字的作文。
其基本模式为：
┌─主题句 句 1 第一段─┤ 开头 └─扩展句 句 2 ┌─主题句 句 1 第一段─┤ 正文 ├─扩展句 句 2 ├─扩展句 句 3 ├─扩展句 句 4 ├─扩展句 句 5 ├─扩展句 句 6 ├─扩展句 句 7 ├─扩展句 句 8 └─扩展句 句 9 第三段 ──结尾句 句10 结尾
第一段为开头，包括两句。第一句为主题句，必须提出，通过问题点明全文主题；第二句为扩展句，须进一步说明和支持主题句。或是将关系倒过来，由第一句说明情况，第二句提出问题。第二段为正文，共七句。第一句(句3)为主题句，提出本段的主题，它应与第一段的主题相关和一致。第二句至第七句(句4一句7)为扩展句，说明和支持本段的主题。句与句之间要注意运用好过渡使段落逻辑合理，结构得当。第三段为结尾，简化为一句，也是全文的总结句，它将前面内容总结为一结果，表明自己的论点。
三段之间的连接要灵活运用“启、承、转、合”的连接过渡手段。
