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.

Countries are becoming more and more similar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
Globalization has made the border of every country become less apparent. Thus, some countries tend to have similarities because their people consume the same goods since the products are available everywhere. Despite the controversy that arises between people who oppose to have identical behavior with foreign citizens, I argue that it is actually a positive development. Having new products available in our countries means that people find it easier to purchase them and it will contribute positively to the countries' national income.
