Dear Mr Smith, I am writing to request leave for a period of 05 days during the

Initially
, I thought I could finish my studies on time but since my mother got sick, I could not study for almost 2 weeks.
This
is the final exam for my degree and I really want to finish it with flying colours. I would like to take leave from 5th September to 10th of September and I will be back on the following day. In order to cover up my off days, I am happy to come to work on weekends. Especially to complete proposal you asked me to finish it before 14th of September.
In addition
, I can assign some of my work to my colleague until I come back. In case of an emergency, you could always contact me via my mobile number and I will ensure to keep it on. Hope you will accept my request. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours Sincerely Migara Wickramasinghe

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.
