A friend of yours is thinking of going on a camping holiday for the first time this summer. He/She has asked for your advice. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter • explain why you think your friend would enjoy a camping holiday • describe some possible disadvantages • say whether you would like to go camping with your friend this summer

Dear John, I hope you are doing well. I am writing
this
letter to let you know that I know you're going on a camping
holiday
this
summer for the
first
time at the place called Blue Mountain in central North Sydney. I think that you should go for a camping
holiday
because from my past camping experience, I can say that you'll quite enjoy it. After all,
this
camping
holiday
will offer you the opportunity to take a long walk in the wilderness and observe nature in its true habitat. You can
also
go to a nearby lake for fishing or swimming which you have always wanted to do. But, the best thing about
this
camping
holiday
will be that it'll actually improve your mood and refresh you like nothing else. To be honest, a camping
holiday
has several disadvantages as well,
such
as sharing bathrooms with other people at the campsite, bad weather, and dealing with bug bites and dangerous animals. Well, I am thinking about coming on
this
camping
holiday
with you, but since my cousin is visiting me from abroad
this
summer. I will have to give up that idea. Take care and stay fine. Best regards, Cole

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.
