#house #friend #news #neighbourhood
Hello Pedro, I am writing to you to inform you that I've
finally
 moved into a new house. Maybe you remember as we together watched all the offers and
this
 variant was the best. So,
to begin
 with, a lot has changed since the
last
 time I saw a house.
Firstly
, Mrs Clark (who is the owner of the accommodation) made different changes.
For instance
, she put up a barbeque machine, bought a lawn mower, and completely changed the kitchen. I like it so much and as there is so much space, I'm thinking about putting on a pool.
Secondly
, the neighbourhood is fairly impeccable.
This
 place is so quiet as there are not many cars going on the road throughout the day. My neighbours are so friendly and kind. They invited me to their house to celebrate my move. I like going for a walk here because people like to plant unique types of trees and flowers. And the sight from my balcony on the second floor is picturesque.
To sum up
, I'm happy with my new place and I would like to invite you to come and celebrate.I can pick you up tomorrow at 7pm, just let me know. I look forward to your reply See 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 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.
