Hello James, Sorry, I couldn’t catch up with you, the previous month when I came to your city, London. Even though I had planned to visit many historic sites with you, it all vanished away with a tragic accident that happened in my home town. After landing and checking in a hotel room, a got news that my father had a serious traffic accident. At that very movement, my mind went blank and I immediately booked a return ticket to home. Thank God, everything is moving toward better now, and his health is improving. I need your prayers for his speedy recovery. I didn’t put off my vacation plans completely. I'd like to explore London with you in the coming month. Will you pick me up from the airport on the 4th of March at 3:00 PM from the North terminal? I wish

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.
