You play a team sport with some friends. Last week a member of the team had an accident and wasn’t able to play with you at the weekend. You decide to write to him in hospital, telling him about the match. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter, tell him which team won describe the conditions on the day say how you felt about the match

Dear John, I am writing
this
letter to inform you about the cricket match held on
last
Sunday. As you already know, we decided to play against another team
last
weekend.
However
, after a hard struggle, eventually, we were able to win the game. On the day of play, the conditions were beyond our expectations. To commence with, just prior to the game, the weather got cloudy and suddenly the rain started which made the pitch wet and difficult to handle.
Secondly
, soon after we lost the toss, we were very disappointed because they offered to bat
first
and it was the history of our team that we lost all the games in which we played
first
. Despite
this
fact, we managed to win it.
Finally
, the counsellor of the town became the special guest of the event.
Although
we didn't invite him, he came and watch the whole game with the crowd.
Nonetheless
, I was very glad after seeing a lot of effort and hard work that the side put in order to reach victory.
Moreover
, that match was so exciting for me because ,after 2018, it was the
first
trophy that our team won . I look forward to seeing you soon till
then
take care. Yours sincerely, Arsalan Farooq

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.
