It is not uncommon that children nowadays gain knowledge or entertain themselves by reading books and playing computer games or watching TV. A certain extent I agree that reading books is a useful way for children’s development.
However
Linking Words
, I would argue that watching television or play computer games
also
Linking Words
 play an equally important role in their life. On the one hand, I agree that playing video games and watching TV set are a benefit for youngsters in some ways.
Firstly
Linking Words
, video games can make players develop connections in their brain cells;
thus
Linking Words
, these games can help them to increase their concentration and creativity.
For example
Linking Words
, the action game can boost brain function in response speed, attention, spatial cognition, and life skills.
Secondly
Linking Words
, watching television helps youngsters broaden their knowledge by providing useful information which does not update through books and newspapers.
For instance
Linking Words
, children may expand their understanding of wildlife by watching animal videos on TV.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, I believe that reading books are beneficial for the young. Nowadays, many children become insensitive due to overexposure to technology;
therefore
Linking Words
, reading is one of the best ways to cultivate their emotions. Many children's books are on topics that can open valuable discussions between a parent and child,
such
Linking Words
 as books about sibling rivalry, so they would gradually develop a sense of sharing and loving member families.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, reading books with children helps them develop their language skills.
Besides
Linking Words
, stories not only engage children's imagination, but
also
Linking Words
 introduce children to things and places
such
Linking Words
 as oceans and wild animals. In conclusion, I would argue that books and some entertainment activities like watching video for children would have the same significance in children’s life.

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.
