✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
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

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.
