This
essay discusses some of the possible reasons for the surge in popularity and explains why I am not really a big fan of it. There are two main reasons why
this
genre is becoming so popular. The main one is that society seems to have an increasing fascination with solving criminal mysteries. More specifically, people like to put themselves in the shoes of the detective and try to solve crimes. Another reason is that new types of crimes have been emerging, which are fascinating to audiences.
For instance
, a lot of books and shows are about cybercrime, and people seem to love
this
new topic. Personally, I’m not a big fan of
this
type of story. On the whole, I’m more into non-fiction. I especially like finding out about scientific discoveries and the emergence of new technologies.
For instance
, I really like watching the Discovery channel on television. When I do read or watch fiction, I prefer something where the outcome is not so clearly known in advance.
For example
, I really like Black Mirror on TV because there are always unexpected twists and turns in the plot to keep the audience on the edge of their seat. In conclusion, people are increasingly fascinated with stories about crime because of the joy of solving crimes and the influence that technology is having on the genre.
However
, I’m not so keen on it because I prefer non-fiction; and, when it does come to fiction, less predictable plots.

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.
