2.) My friend Gail, whom I met in a mall a few years ago, just bought her first car yesterday, and upon receiving the news of her recent acquisition, my desire to purchase one for myself became more prominent.
Which of the two sentences sends a clearer message? Exactly.
🔑 Key lesson: There’s power in simplicity.
