Dear

Ms.

Change the punctuation

McKeen, My name is Leo Smith and I am a

first

-year student in your Marketing class at Capilano College. I am writing to you because I have a problem with the project you set about social media. The due date was

last

week but I'm afraid I haven't finished it yet. As you know, I have been absent from class for almost ten days with COVID-19 symptoms and I have not been attending lectures. I only managed to get the reading list from a friend and go to the library to do research yesterday. You will see from your records that I have never missed a deadline for an assignment so far during my course.

However

, I am requesting an extension of one week in

this

case because I am so behind with my work. I hope you will take my illness into consideration and grant me an extension. Yours sincerely, Leo Smith

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.

In some parts of the world traditional festivals and celebrations have disappeared or are disappearing. What problems is this causing? What measures could be taken to counter this situation?
Every year numerous local and international festivals and celebrations are hosted to represent countries with their unique cultures and customs. In the contemporary era, the urge to maintain those indigenous events has been diminishing in some countries, posing a formidable threat to the very existence of some trends. I contend that globalisation is a chief culprit which yields the biggest influence over the young generation to steal their attention from these traditional events.
