改变句子的开头方式，不是一味地都是主语开头，接着是谓语、宾语，最后再加一个状语。可以把状语置于句首，或用分词作状语等。试比较:
1. To change the way a sentence begins, it is not always the beginning of the subject, then the predicate, the object, and finally an adverbial. You can put adverbials at the beginning of a sentence, or use participles as adverbials. Compare:
(原文) My brother and I went to the cinema by bicycle the other day。
My brother and I went to the cinema by cycle the other day.
(修正) The other day my brother and I went to the cinema by bicycle。
The other day my brother and I went to the cinema by cycle.
(原文) The young man couldn’t help crying when he heard the bad news。
T he young man could"t help crying when he heard the bad news.
