writing style - 'The fact that' versus just 'That'


Recently, I started using just 'That' instead of 'The fact that' at the beginning of some sentences. What is your opinion on this?


Example:




  1. The fact that he answered the question wrong shows...

  2. That he answered the question wrong shows ...



What is better style? 1 or 2?
