在雅思写作中倾向于用与人有关系的词性，用名词和代词作为句子的开头，如 People，We，I，He，They，She等在考生的雅思写作中非常常见，但这种开头见多了，难免让人厌倦。试比较：

　　A.People throughout the country have greatly demanded all kinds of nutritious food.

　　B.There is a great demand across the country for all kinds of nutritious food.

　　句改用非人称名词作为主语开头，第二句则用there +be句型开头。这样既改变了主语+谓语+宾语单调句型，又把想强调的意思突出出来。仅仅是改变了开头就会使文章给人的感觉完全不同。实际上，为了把雅思写作文章写得生动活泼，除了用主语开头外，还可以用句子的其他成分开头。

　　1.以短语修饰语开头
