structure
Ensure your letter has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Introduce the reason for writing in the first paragraph, expand on details in the body, and summarise or politely request understanding in the conclusion.
coherence
When discussing the reason for your time off and details of your absence, try to connect ideas more smoothly. For example, use linking words or phrases ('Thus', 'In order to', 'Therefore') to enhance flow between sentences.
tone
Try to maintain a respectful and professional tone throughout the letter. Phrases like 'I am their favorite grandchildren' might appear informal. Consider rephrasing for a more professional tone.
task achievement
Ensure your request and reason for absence are clearly stated early in the letter for immediate clarity. Details about coverage of work should also be specific and realistic.
grammar
Check for grammatical errors and improve punctuation. Consistent use of past and present tenses, as well as careful attention to sentence structure, can increase the legibility and professionalism of your letter.

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.
