✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
Dear Sam, I'm writing to you to tell you that I have received your letter, and I thought a lot about your situation. So, I advise you to get a
job
.
However
, I think that college will be boring for you since you don't like staying outside for more than three hours, and the college asks you for your presence in lectures and classes.
In addition
, at university, there are many exams and quizzes.
Thus
, you will not be joyful because you don't like working under pressure.
Therefore
, I advise you that trying to get a
job
 will be more effective for you because you are like a night owl. So, you can get a suitable
job
 that suits your life system.
Furthermore
, you actually have many responsibilities for your parents, and you must gain money fast.
As a result
, getting a
job
 is the best choice to improve your life standards.
Finally
, I believe that freelancing jobs
such
 as typing, Data entering, or marketing on social media Networks would be a perfect solution for your personality and routine.
Moreover
, the income from these jobs is reasonable. Tell your parents my respect. Best wishes, Amal

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.
