You recently bought some train tickets for a journey a week in advance. When you went to the station to catch the train, you were told you could not use the tickets and the staff were very unhelpful to you. Write a letter to the train company. In your letter • describe the problem you had with the tickets • say why you were unhappy with the staff • suggest what action the train company should take

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
epistle to express my annoyance about your services.
Additionally
,I could not catch the
train
although
the ticket was with me, honestly, it was very disappointing.
Initially
, I booked tickets for five members of my family and it cost me a thousand dollars, anyway, when we arrived at the
train
station to catch the
train
,
then
, the staff stopped us and they said that because the ticket date had expired. Notwithstanding, we tried to solve
this
problem , but, there were not any responses from either the employees or clients services , and
thus
, it was really disappointing.
However
, I ask you to solve
this
problem and give me a new ticket,
moreover
, I suggest that all staff need to
train
well.
Lastly
, as we all know that your company respect the client ,
thus
, I hope for speedy action on
this
matter and I look forward to hearing from you soon, Yours faithfully, Raheel

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

‘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.

I really want to study but I’m too tired.
