Combine by coordinating
You can combine these sentences with coordinating conjunctions such as and, but, or, and yet, so, nor, for. Last quarter was a difficult one, and the new line didn't move well; but this quarter is starting to show a boost in sales. Or, with some rewording The new line had a slow start last quarter, but sales have picked up since then.
You can also combine these sentences with subordinating conjunctions such as because, although, and before, after, although, as, because, before, how, if, once, since, than, that, though, till, until, when, where, whether, while which will help you emphasize key points. Although last quarter was a difficult one for the new line, we are now seeing a boost in sales. Or While the new line is currently selling well, last quarter was a difficult one.
Another suggestion for eliminating choppiness is to use clear transitions between sentences, moving the reader logically from one idea to the next. For example: Last quarter was a difficult one because the new line didn't move well. However, we are starting to see a boost in sales. The transition word however carries the reader smoothly from one idea to the next. When fixing choppy sentences, the key is to create a smooth, logical flow of ideas. Remember, though, to always connect related ideas.
Choppy: The starting date of August 24 works well for me. Ill begin to search for housing. Thank you for the material you sent about moving costs and real-estate agencies.

In addition to the material you have already provided about moving costs and real-estate agencies, could you also please send information about area schools?
To unify your writing , you need to link individual sentences and paragraphs into a smooth, easy to read document. Transition words help how ideas are linked by location, time, or logic

Parallel Structure
The principle of parallel construction is a simple one. Plainly put, the reader expects consistency. Ideas that are related to each other should be expressed in parallel form.
If you begin making a list with adjectives you enter a contract with the reader to complete your list in like fashion. If you switch to a different part of speech somewhere in your list, you break the contract and jar the reader. The point is to be consistent.
"She is capable, experienced, and often works late at night." In this sentence the writer shifts from a series of adjectives, "capable" and "experienced," to a verb phrase, "often works late at night." The result is a break in rhythm, a loss of momentum. "She is capable, experienced, and dedicated"--or "talented" or "brilliant" or whatever adjective came to mind, as long as it was another adjective.
"The volume of business depends on an institution's delivery method, production time, and whether or not it is open or closed." The series should be concluded as it was begun--with a third noun phrase, like this: "delivery method, production time, and hours of operation."
"My primary responsibilities are to manage staff, to create a new database, and reorganizing the office. "My primary responsibilities are to manage staff, to create a new database, and to reorganize the office."
