Dear Sir, I am Arthur, residing in the leased flat at 27 New Karakum. I am writing to convey my discontent with the furniture that was given. Since my move on the 27th of October 2024 to flat A on the 5th floor, there have been continuous complaints. I believe the tearing of the living room chairs is
due to
 the frequent use they have experienced. I can see that it has recently undergone renovations.
Nevertheless
, it was not completed correctly.
Additionally
, there is a dining chair with a broken leg that requires immediate repair. Could you please switch out the furniture in the living room? As the chairs have already been refurbished, it would not be a good idea to try to fix the materials on them.
Furthermore
, the dining chair can be repaired by simply reattaching the leg with the help of a carpenter. We appreciate your thoughtfulness. Yours faithfully, Arthur

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.
