　　in Moscow and San Francisco -- in two cities

　　in three major cities -- in London, New York and Sydney

　　# 招數5“動作“具體化

　　當題目中出現對于將來數據的預測時，可以用projection, prediction 來表達，另外，注意細節段落時態要轉換為將來時。

　　in 2000, *20…, and future projections for 2025

　　# 招數8 詞性轉換+ 句型轉換

　　the changes that took place in three different areas of crime in Newport city centre -- how crime rates altered in Newport inner city

　　以上例子中，changes是名詞，可以說the changes that took place in…/ the changes of ...(使用的句式是定語從句或of 結構“…的“)

　　改寫之后的alter也表“變化“是動詞形式，句型也有the change that…/ of… 變成了how…V+ed (賓語從句)
