birthday after my marriage, so, I have to be there. I only need a break of 2-3 hours so that I can go there and attend the lunch party. I can understand that I have responsibilities to my team members too, but I will work till late so that I can send reports and updates to all of my clients. In case of any urgent work, I'll be available on Saturday too. I'll not let my work suffer because of my absence. I'll be available on calls in case of my team members need me. Thank you very much in advance. Yours Sincerely, Shikha

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.
