Some people think that new houses should be built in the same style as older houses. Others believe that the local council should allow people to choose different designs for their houses. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

#people #houses #style #council #designs
A highly controversial issue today relates to whether to have distinct designs in new houses or not. In
this
 essay, I am going to examine
this
 question from both points of view and
then
 give my own opinion on the matter. There are
people
 who argue that the benefits of having a pattern in houses’ style considerably outweigh its disadvantages. The main reason for believing
this
 is that some
people
 usually do not like to have changes in their life and tend to continue what they consider traditional. It is
also
 possible to say that many cities are well-known for their architecture. One good illustration of
this
 is in Boston with its famous old residences and orange blocks.
On the other hand
, others believe that
people
 should be able to choose what style they want for their residence.
People
 often have
this
 opinion because everyone has a different point of view and
this
 occurs with the design too. A
second
 point is that
this
 could bring more diversity for the city what could become a positive characteristic for the region. A particularly good example here is in São Paulo where you could see traditional and

however
, I feel that everyone should be able to decide what they want for their house.

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.
