 is easily available for individuals and
this
 can be beneficial as well as problematic. In my opinion, I think that fast
food
 can bring about more problems compared to any advantage it can bring. Admittedly, there is some minor benefit of

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.
