#week #holiday #friend #house
Dear Saman, I'm writing to say a big thank you for having me over
last
 week, I had a really good time. Love your new home. The garden is fascinating. Sitting in your garden was great because of the vivid flowers and the decorations. Since it's spacious you can host so many people at once. I loved the city tour we had. Your hometown is a great place to raise a family because It's a vibrant place and full of required amenities. The dinner we had from that Chinese restaurant was the greatest I had so far. I tried to make that dish at home but failed to get the same taste and aroma. Let's meet soon. Maybe you could come to my home for dinner? How about the first weekend of next month? let me know ASAP. Thanks again for the great holiday. looking forward to seeing you soon. Best wishes, Sangeeth

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.
