Dear Mr Jackson Unfortunately, I have to let you know I will not be able to present my thesis project in one month. I am very sorry about
this
 situation but my lovely sister is getting married in Spain at the same time. I regret that I don't inform you earlier but the wedding plans have changed too. As you know I have a presentation about bugs' nightlife, it is a very interesting innovative topic with a fresh point of view about these interesting creatures. I believe our research allows me to get to Oxford University so the presentation is crucial for me. I realize that I am asking for a big favour but can we establish a different date for presenting my thesis? The wedding is on the 5th of May so every date after the ceremony is convenient for me. I know it is a difficult situation but
this
 wedding is very important for me and my family. I am sure you will understand my position. Sorry again about
this
 situation and hope you will give me the answer as soon as possible Sincerely

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.
