Over recent years, more and more people are learning

 languages. It is often believed that travelling abroad for job or pleasure is the sole purpose of learning another

.
However
, others contend that
language
 is wider than the concept of moving to other countries. In my perspective, studying an international

To begin
 with, studying international

 helps the travellers to communicate with the local residents.
Consequently

Moreover

On the other hand

 is far beyond the job prospects and travelling to a foreign country.
Firstly
, knowing a

 enables a person to understand the diverse culture and tradition of the country.
Secondly
, learning more than one

 sharpens the mind and thereby improves the memory.
For example

 other than travelling or working in other countries.

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.

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.
