让人眼前一亮的开头能够整体文章的水平，上期我们讲到托福独立写作的结尾，不论是结尾还是开头都是大家复习的重点。那么，托福独立写作的开头怎么写呢?

　　一、用副词从句开头，表示主句谓语动词发生的时间、地点、原因、方式、条件等：

　　(2)Wherever you go, I follow.

　　(3)Since your children love hamburgers and fries, we might as well eat in MacDonald.

　　(4)As if it were summer, everybody wear shorts and a T-shirt.

　　(5)In case that you get lost, call me at this number.

　　二、用副词开头，常见的情形有：

　　(3)clearly unfortunately

　　(4)incredibly luckily

　　Financially, she is independent, but emotionally she is dependent.

　　三、用插入语开头，表示说话人的态度，或使句子的意思更加准确：

　　类似的插入语有：

　　(1)no wonder no doubt

　　(2)in other words in my opinion

　　四、用形容词、并列形容词或形容词短语开头，修饰句子的主语，表示主语的特征或状态：

　　3、Happy at his good marks at school, the little boy skipped on his way home.

　　4、Desperate and hopeless, the poor man committed suicide.

　　五、用分词、分词短语开头：

　　(a) 修饰句子主语，表示主语所处的状态或主语同时进行的另一个较谓语动词次要的动作：

　　Scared, the girl moved timidly and cautiously into the dark room.( 状态)

　　Chased by my dear pet cat, the mouse dashed into a small hole.( 状态 )

　　Spoiled by his parents, the naughty boy always insists on things he wants.( 状态)

　　Puffing and hugging, he finished his run.( 另一动作)
