In contrast

 have drawbacks which affect their popularity. One major disincentive of relying on

 as a

 online, newspaper publishers are facing the reality of falling circulation figures. Some major American

 trend. Another disadvantage of
newspapers

 is the amount of paper consumed in their production. With growing environmental awareness, there is a body of public opinion which rejects buying

 because

While

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.
