last
 week, but I lost my wallet
last
 week while travelling in Delhi Metro. It has all my Debit and Credit cards, and for the safety issues, I have to block all my plastic
money
. Owing to
this
, I was not able to withdraw any
money
, which resulted in not paying back your borrowed finance on time. I received newly issued cards from the bank yesterday, and
therefore
, I can refund your

 now. I owe you a treat for sure and I will pay your two months house rent in advance. I hope
this
 payment delay problem will not affect our friendship. Waiting for your response and hope to see you soon. Cheers, Thompson

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.
