Band 8

You recently received a letter from a friend asking for advice about whether to go to college or to try to get a job. You think he/she should get a job. Write a letter to this friend.

#friend #advice #college #job
Dear Randi, I received your letter and I got to know that you are in a situation where you cannot decide on the path that you need to choose going forward. I strongly believe that selecting the carrier in the "Information Technology(IT)" section would suites for you
instead
 of going to college.
Firstly
, these days it is really hard to find a low-cost college due to the economic situation in Sri Lanka.
Hence
, all the courses are way more expensive than the amount that you could effort at the moment.
Thus
, you would not enjoy studying while managing your expenses.
Secondly
, I heard that your father lost his job during the Covid pandemic and still he could not find a suitable job in his stream.
Therefore
, finding a job related to your skilled area might be able to support your family expenses during
this
 crisis.
In addition
, you might be able to save some amount so that you could spend on your future goals.
Finally
, as you always demonstrate the skills of an entrepreneur I suggest you be the person you always wanted to be. Since you have the ability to develop websites I think you will be a good fit in the IT industry. I wish you good luck in your future endeavours. Regards, Dinusha

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.
