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.

Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important problems. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion
Nowadays, we all acknowledge that environmental issues might be the most critical issue in our lives. Some people believed that the extinction of particular species of floras and faunas remains the main problem of this issue. On the other hand, others argued that there would be a more critical environmental problem that has to be considered for these days. In this essay, I will elaborate on both these views and conclude with my opinion.

Employers should focus on personal qualities over qualifications and experience when choosing someone for a job. To what extent do you agree with this?
It is argued that business owners should look for personality when deciding to recruit new employees over professional qualities. I believe that both personal treaties and professionalism are important when deciding to hire new people to develop the work and build a healthy environment.

Some people who have been in prison become good citizens later, and it is often argued that these are the best people to talk to teenagers about the dangers of committing a crime. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
We frequently pretend that ex-offenders who have been in prison and learned a lesson are the best to express the young community about the risk of executing an illegal action. This essay totally agrees with that statement. I believe that ex-offenders can sensibilize teenagers with their histories and after they can explain how it can affect their future and how to avoid this act.

Some argue that when parents are at work, close relations provide the best care to young children, while others believe daycare centres are a better option. While relatives can usually be trusted to take care of children properly, I argue that childcare professionals are better equipped to care for young children.

Many governments think that economic progress is their most important goal. Some people, however, think that other types of progress are equally important for a country. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
People have different views about how governments should measure their countries’ progress. While some people consider economic development to be the most significant consideration, I would argue that advancements in other areas are crucial as well.
