Dear Mr. Smith, I hope
this
message finds you well. I want to thank you for reaching out regarding my child's recent test scores and for your dedication to their education. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the meeting
this
Friday
due to
a prior commitment that I cannot reschedule. I apologize for any inconvenience
this
may cause. In the meantime, I want to assure you that I have been actively helping my child with their studies at home. We have been reviewing the material together, utilizing additional resources
such
as educational websites and practice quizzes. I have
also
encouraged them to ask questions during class and seek assistance when needed. I'm determined to support my child's learning and improve their test performance. Could we possibly reschedule our meeting for early next week? I am available on Monday or Tuesday afternoon, but I am happy to accommodate a time that works best for you. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to our conversation. Sincerely, Trang Dao

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.
