Dear Samuel, I am sorry it has taken me so long to reach out to you, but I am writing to explain why we could not see as agreed when I visited London during the Christmas period.

This

was due to circumstances beyond my control. Let me explain in more detail. I am sure you remember I mentioned that the visit would be a really short one because I needed to resume back to work the

first

week in January.

Also

, my sister came over too, and the parents wanted to spend ample time with her.

This

is because we have not celebrated Christmas together in six years. So, we wanted to spend as much time as possible together. I know I should have communicated with you about the change in plans beforehand or when I realized connecting would not be feasible. For that, I am so sorry, but I would be returning soon. Can I suggest we see when I return in June? We could spend a weekend at Bicester Village. Not to worry, all expenses would be on me,

this

is to make up for the no show. I would love to hear what you think about the above suggestion,

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
