Dear David, Hope you are doing well. I came to know that you want to go on a campus holiday
this
summer and I am writing
this
letter to inform you about some advantages and disadvantages of
this
camp.
Firstly
, I know very well that it has been your dream to go camping since your childhood. I was so happy after listening to your wish.
Moreover
, I want to tell you that
Goa
Beach
is the best place for camping. You will get a chance to camp on the
beach
and enjoy the night view of the
Goa
. It would be a great experience for you as you can do many activities on
this
campsite
such
as bonfires, Barbeque and many more.
Nonetheless
, there are drawbacks to
this
camping. The local market is 6 kilometres far away from the
beach
.
Additionally
, there is no facility for transport from the
beach
thus
, you have to walk to purchase anything.
Furthermore
,
Goa
is a tourist place so the price of goods is high in local shops. I would like to join
this
trip with you because I am free
this
summer.
However
, It has been 8 years since I visited
Goa
. I will catch you before
this
trip. Yours Lovingly, Sophia.

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.
