Mrs. Barrett, an English-speaking woman who lives in your town, has advertised for someone to help her in her home for a few hours a day next summer. Write a letter to Mrs. Barrett. In your letter: • suggest how you could help her in her home • say why you would like to do this work • explain when you will and will not be available

Dear Mrs Barrett I am writing to express my interest in the advertisement you published
last
week in the Daily mail seeking someone to help you for a couple of hours every day
next
summer. I have been living on my own for the
last
3 years so believe I can help you with plenty of chores. Being a trained cook, I can lend you a hand with preparing meals and other kitchen chores.
In addition
to that, I can
also
help with house cleaning. I am a university student and as you are aware that education and cost of living are pretty expensive in Canada so in order to meet my expenses, I would like to work during my summer vacation. Your house is only 800m from my apartment which make it very convenient to commute. I can be available for up to 5 hours every day and my availability hours are pretty flexible except for 6 to 10 in the morning when I take a Yoga class with my friends. In the evenings, I go for Tennis practice but
that is
flexible so I can manage as per your requirements. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully Hanna

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.
