Most individuals think governments should spend money to build free public
libraries
 in each town.
However
, others think governments should not squander money on public
libraries
 because of the popularity of the
internet
. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both points of view and give my own opinion. It is widely accepted that the government should build free
libraries
 in each town. There are two main factors behind
this
.
Firstly
, there are some places which cannot connect to the
internet
. That means the only way
people
 can get information is from books and newspapers.
Secondly
,
libraries
 are not only a place for
people
 to study or get information, it is
also
 an area for
people
 to socialize. Inside the

 money to build public

 is useless. The reason why they think like
that is
 because of the development of the
internet
. These
people
 cannot believe there are still some places that do not have access to the
internet
. These
people
also
 believe that using online resources is faster than going to the library, at the same time they don’t need to pay anything to publish or access information on the
internet
. To sum up,
although
 the
internet
 is convenient and makes
people
’s lives easier, I think the states should build public
libraries
 to help
people
 to keep reading habits.

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.
