Change the sentence by using different OPENERs and then DRESS UPs, but keep the meaning.
• In the case of (1)s, (7)s, and (8)s, information will have to be added.
• In the case of the (6) OPENER, something will probably have to be omitted.
Keep it fairly simple. Do not add tons description and details when you change the sentence. That might be a fun second step, but that is NOT part of this first part of the lesson. The first challenge is to keep the meaning (as much as possible) but vary the stylistic technique.
It is okay to change the tense of the sentence!
