I haven't terminated it yet. You know that I have attended all your classes without being absent but I encountered some problems in completing
this
activity. One of these problems was my mother's surgery, which forced me to devote all my time to my mother's treatment, and that's one of the reasons why I couldn't finish my business, the second problem is the high difficulty of the program, which is why I need more time to complete it.
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 problems into consideration and grant me an extension. Yours sincerely, Rahman Omidi

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.
