Each paragraph clearly focuses on one aspect of the task, such as thanking, explaining the gift's usefulness, and making plans.

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.

There is a common belief that prioritizing human needs for farmland, housing, and industry is more essential than preserving land for endangered animals. However, I disagree with this point of view and firmly believe that maintaining the ecological balance is vital. Flora and fauna play a significant role in sustaining life on our planet, and every living organism has its unique contribution to the well-being of Earth and humanity.
