,moment our company had some dispute with one of our important clients. As a client relationship manager, I have a responsibility to meet the client directly and explain what happened. We have been on a long-term contract with the client and my management didn't want to lose future opportunities as well. I have seen your engagement photos on Instagram and feel so happy to see you with David on the occasion. I felt bad not to see your happiness at that moment! I have attached holiday trip vouchers as a gift. The flight tickets are open and you can select the date at your convenience. You should come to my home, I will bake the strawberry tart, your favourite, though I am a disaster in the kitchen. looking forward to seeing you soon with love Jennifer

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.
