There was a man named Billy living in a small city on his own. He was neither rich nor handsome, so he couldn't get married. Also, there was no one from his family. He was all alone and desperate.
One day, when he woke up, he realized that it was his birthday. For years, he hadn't celebrated his birthday and he hadn't been given any gift. He wanted to feel happy, so he decided to make his own birthday cake. He took a recipe book and he started to make a chocolate cake. He was so absent-minded that he put the mixer into the aquarium. Thus, he lost his only friend on his birthday.

Dear Cruel Girls,
YanıtlaSilI really enjoyed reading your story.You have a fluent writing style It is well-written and interesting, I felt sorry for Billy as he lost his friend so tragically. The story has a very sad end, but it is quite moving You have organized it nicely via the use of appropriate conectors. In terms of the grammatical analysis of the sentence types, I think the some of the sentences that you call "simple" are, in fact, complex. Only the following sentences are simple:
1. "There was no one from his family."
2. "He was all alone and desperate".
3. "He lost his only friend on his birthday"
Your first sentence is a compleş one (with two reduced relative clauses - There was a man named Billy living in a small city...."
Also, the second sentece of the second paragraph is also a compound sentence joined by the conjunction "and".
Keep up the good work.
