Tips
- You don't have to write complete sentences in text messages.
- You can use short forms, e.g. thx (thanks) and pls (please).
- To cancel a plan, say I don't think I can make it. Add the date (e.g. I don't think I can make it tomorrow) and/or to + the activity (e.g. I don't think I can make it to the party tomorrow).
- To show sympathy, say Poor you and Hope you feel better soon.
- Exclamation marks (!) sound positive and they are used a lot in text messages. Two exclamation marks (!!) shows you really, really mean it!

my last cancelling a plan was the party at my place. I moved it to Monday from Sunday, because my husband forgot to say that we had been invited to another party.

Maybe if I cancel plan,that`s maybe happen because I work night shifts and in the day I sleep... or really I have more important commitment.

One year ago, I decided to learn German Language and started that with a training application language. But after a while, I thought it is better to enhance my English language skills. For this reason, I canceled my previous decision.

Hello Teacher, can you check this sentence for me!!
I had a travel to Sapa with my best friends last Monday. However we had to cancel that trip because the weather forecast announced that the temperature there is downed to -12 degrees with avalanche. It was sad to can't go there . But in turn we had a small party at my house. it went quite well and deeply great.
