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.

In some countries, a few people earn extremely high salaries. Some people think that this is good for a country, while others believe that the government should control salaries and limit the amount people can earn. Discuss both view and give your opinion.
It is undeniable that the most important factor for a country or an organisation's development is human resources. It is possible to have a few people who earn extremely high salaries because their contributions are valuable and necessary. Some people think that it is good for the country to offer high financial incentives to those people, meanwhile, others disagree with that view and consider that salary limitations should be developed. This essay will elaborate on both views and the reasons why I agree that salaries should not be controlled.

Children nowadays spend a great deal of time watching T.V . However, TV cannot replace the book as a learning tool,which is why children are less well educated today,to what extent do you agree with this statement ?
Increasing of well-educated children is because of prefering whatching T.V instead of reading books,as well as, more time are spent on T.V progerams by children.I fairly agree with this statment due to two reasons. First there are a lot of non-beneficial shows on T,V and second, lack of consideration can be introduced by advertisment on T.V when watching an educational program.
