One of the problems in Urban areas nowadays is the
amount
 of
traffic
 it sustains. It is quite a hassle for
people
 living and working in the city areas as the
amount
 of time it takes for
people
 to go from point A to point B is not a joke. At
this
 stage,
people
 are trying to be innovative and creative with ideas to reduce the
amount
 of
traffic
 in
cities
, one of which is reducing
people
's requirement to travel to and from
work
,
education
, or even shopping. In my opinion,
this
 is a great idea to reduce
traffic
 in
cities
. Working from home has been quite a norm now due to the impacts of Covid-19. It has certainly moulded our daily lifestyle and the way we do things. While most of us are already working from home for a couple of years now, it doesn't seem like a bad idea at all. It reduces the cost of
traveling
Change the spelling
travelling
show examples
 to
work
, it saves a lot of time and
moreover
 the
traffic
 has eased in
cities
. Continuing to do so makes more sense in terms of the environmental and personal benefits it provides, the companies must acknowledge
this
 benefit and create more opportunities for
people
 to
work
 from home
instead
.
Further
, taking
education
 and shopping online does imply in reduction of
traffic
 in
cities
 as there will be less need for
people
 to travel. Online classes don't necessarily impact the
education
 children are receiving, some even believe they are able to grasp things more easily in online classes. I can only see the positive aspect of online
education
 as it reduces
traffic
 and
hence
also
 reduce the negative impact it has upon the environment
such
 as pollution. In conclusion, I firmly agree with the idea of reducing the
amount
 of
traffic
 in
cities
 by reducing the requirement of
people
 to travel to
work
,
education
 or shopping.

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.
