, written by Elizabeth Gilbert. As you know, the
book
 has already won many awards but what was most influential about
this
book
 was the story of the protagonist. The writer has depicted the journey of a woman on finding the meaning of
life
 after her series of breakups. I read
this
book
 during my divorce phase and it has definitely helped me not only mentally but
also
 in spiritual ways. Elizabeth, the writer, has beautifully captured the message that no matter what
life
 offers you, you must live your
life
 and treat yourselves with love and kindness. I think
this
 is one of the best books I have ever read and I am sure it would have impacted many people around the world, especially those who are finding themselves in a difficult phase of their
life
. I would recommend you to read
this
book
, in case you haven't, so that even you will realise that
this
book
 is worthy of mentioning in the article. Yours sincerely, Jen

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.
