You were late for a friend’s wedding recently and would like to explain why. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: • apologize for being late • explain the reason why you were late • suggest some activities you could do together when you both have time

Dear Sumesh, I am writing to say thank you for the invite to your enchanting marriage reception. The party was fabulous because of the fantastic disco and mouth-watering food. Unfortunately, as you know, I was a bit late for the function because my BMW has had a breakdown. It has been complaining about a minor engine problem for quite a while. I have consulted with multiple workshops, and one of them suggested I go for a part replacement. Unfortunately, though I have done that, the car encountered the same problem on the day of your wedding. I want to catch up with you, to forget the miss of the initial part of your marriage. Could you please join me, a pub meeting

Friday in one of the luxurious pubs here in the town, so that we can have a blast? The entry to the venue is entirely ticket-based. I have taken two tickets already for that. So please let me your availability by upcoming Thursday. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Best Wishes, Sooraj Raveendran Nair

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.
