You recently read an article in the newspaper about someone you know personally. You found some information is wrong. Write a letter to editor to inform him about it. What is the article about? What is the error? What you expect an editor to do?

Dear
Sir
, I am writing
this
letter to you regarding the recent
article
you published about
Sir
David Markham
last
week, April 2nd, in The Times newspaper. The
article
gives a brief biography of
Sir
David’s life and
then
continues to focus
his

on his

work
and the impact it has had. The biography starts with his birth in Edinburgh and his later move in 1962 to Durham University. From there, it focuses on his
work
with the UN. I would like to point out an error in your
article
. Documentation shows that
Sir
David did not go directly from Edinburgh to the University of Durham, in 1961. In
fact

he took a gap year in Europe working with a volunteer program and
then
went to University in 1962. I know
this
as I worked with him in Europe and became friends with him. His year abroad, which is absent from your
article
, created the foundation of his philosophy of life which guided him through his
work
in later years. I hope you will publish
this
correction in the newspaper.
Sir
David’s
work
is still of immense importance and people should know the importance of that gap year in his life. Looking forward to a positive reply. Yours faithfully, Hardik Patel

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.
