Looking for suggestions to join sentences
 
 
I �d like to ask yoor opinion about the best way to join the sentences in these two exercises. I �m not quite satisfied with my own answers
 
Join the following sentences into one:

       �I have been to Rio and Carnival celebrations were just fantastic. I had read   a lot about it before travelling there. I should have gone years ago. Begin: I should...

 �I never saw Mara again. I guessed she was hidden in the house and probably very sick. I called the doctor and explained the situation.

 Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Hi, I had the same problem with a studen who took Selectividad that year.
I guessed they were wrong with that exercise. because it �s really impossible to join all of them.

I would do this :

 I should have gone to Rio years ago, where Carnival cel�ebrations , about which I had read a lot before travelling were just fantastic.

I �m not sure. I think there is alot of information to join.

And the second one, which I still remember, is also very strange.

I never saw Mary again and since I guessed she was hidden ......very sick, I called the doctor and explained the situation.

I hope a native ca help us.

Good luck. Un abrazo

I never saw Mara again. I guessed she was hidden in the house and probably very sick. I called the doctor and explained the situation.
