project
on Warehouse Management Systems as part of my final year paper which was due
last
week

project
since I had to travel to my home country
due to
a family emergency. My mother had taken a critically ill situation,
hence
I was not in the right mental state to work on the assignment provided. I will be back in Dubai early next
week

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.
