manager. It’s been a tough role for me since I have a totally new team to get
along with
and I have to prepare balance sheets for my boss as well. I had to stay up late till 7pm at night to finish all my work and it made me tired and had no energy for other things. We’re planning to take some time off in the next couple of months and why don’t you come and visit us? Our spare bedroom, which, by the way, is huge, is available all the time. We’d like to show you the sights of Guangzhou and try delicious food here. I can’t wait to see you soon and hope your jobs are going well Take care Regina

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.
