I cleaned up the mess over the book quickly, I couldn't help the damage it did to a few photos. Some of them got smudged that you cannot even identify what the picture was all about. I know, me apologizing for it can't undo the damage caused.
However
, I am trying my level best to find my old collection of albums so I could replace the damaged ones.

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.
