spoke rather than 3 weeks ago. I appreciate your concern and the lovely photos that brought back all the wonderful memories we shared in Nasarawa. Despite all the misgivings I had, I was pleasantly surprised at the lovely landscape and hospitality of the people there. It was indeed a memorable experience. I'm sorry I couldn't reach out sooner as my mother was sick. I found out on my return and we've been running helter-skelter just to get her the best healthcare. Thankfully, she is much better now. The health scare made me realize how precious life is and for that reason, I will be celebrating my birthday next week. It will be my pleasure to have you over at my house for the occasion. My house is spacious with enough rooms to accommodate you.

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 wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of fitness are decreasing. what do you think are the cause of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?
The rising average weight and declining fitness levels in some countries can be attributed to several interconnected factors. One primary cause is the widespread availability and consumption of high-calorie, low-nutrient foods. Fast food, sugary snacks, and processed meals have become staples in many diets, leading to increased caloric intake without corresponding nutritional value. Additionally, sedentary lifestyles have become more common due to advancements in technology. Many people spend significant portions of their day sitting at desks, using computers, or engaging in passive entertainment like watching television.
