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.

Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together to what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Some people believe that music can connect individuals from different cultures and ages. There is no doubt that music can facilitate communication between human beings and it has proven that in many previous stories from history. In this essay I will state my own opinion and provide persuasive examples as well.

The use of social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, is replacing face-to-face contact in this century. Do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
Nowadays people rely on social media to interrupt with friends and families. More and more people consider this tendency is better than face-to-face. I will claim that the upsides of using social media do not outweigh the downsides.

Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. DO the advanatges of this outweigh the disadvantages?
Many children of immigrants tend to be bilingual. Certain professionals think children should learn foreign languages at a younger age, rather than at high school. Learning different French or German at such a young age helps their brains develop as well as provides a new lifelong skill, but it can take away from their playtime. Is this worth it?

For a long time art has been considered an essential part of all cultures in the world. However, nowadays people’s values have changed, and we tend to consider science, technology and business more important than arts. What do you think are the causes and effects of this change?
The public who love money will control people and focus on anything that gives them wealth. Therefore, the public lost their concentration on arts or machinery like being hypnotized. In the past, people's attention to profession, but dramatically now on mechanization and information. Therefore, I will mention the causes and the impact of that huge difference in human interests, from craft to industrialization, technique and work.

In some countries, the number of shootings increase because many people have guns at home. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Across the globe, many individuals own guns for self-defence and recreational purposes. Gun related mortalities in households – in particular – throw the ethics of such forms of private gun ownership into sharp relief. In this essay, I shall appeal to crime statistics to argue that a person is at a far greater risk being shot if there is a gun in a household.
