Last month you had an overseas hoiday with some friends where you stayed at their house. They have just sent you some holiday photos. Write a letter to your friends.

Dear Mark and Steven, I received the photos a few hours ago and I cannot stop looking at them. I remember a lot of good times on that trip. I want to thank you for sending me them;
this
act has been a gift to me. On the other side, I would like to thank you for hosting me in your house and making me feel at home. It was a pleasure sharing
this
experience with you and your family. I could not write before because I had a lot of work to do when I arrived home.
Although
I have been thinking about you these days.
Last
, but not least, I would like to invite you to visit me. I enjoy doing mountain activities but
this
time you will be able to try water sports in the Canary Islands
such
as sunbathing, jet skis or surfing. It will be exciting. I am looking forward to receiving from you and starting planning
this
new journey together. Kisses Olivia

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.
