coherence cohesion

Try to make your sentences more concise to improve clarity. For example, instead of 'Firstly, When I was planning to go on a holiday with my family, I was worried about my house and who would take care of it. But when I talked with you about my situation , I was relaxed and enjoyed my trip,' you could write, 'Initially, I was worried about leaving my house during my family holiday, but talking to you put me at ease, allowing me to enjoy the trip.'

coherence cohesion

Be careful with punctuation and capitalization. For instance, 'Firstly, When' should be 'Firstly, when' and '...about my situation , I was relaxed...' should be '...about my situation, I was relaxed...'.
