More and more
students
 are trying to study oversea at the university. In my opinion,
although
 there are some benefits and drawbacks of studying abroad, I still think it is good to have a chance to study in a foreign country. On the one hand, there are several difficulties that overseas
students
 may experience.
Firstly
, some
students
 may encounter foreign language problems, they may have trouble understanding lectures and writing school assignments.
For instance
, a British student may need extra German lessons or help when studying in Germany.
Moreover
, there might be cultural differences in both social and academic aspects.
Lastly
, some
students
 may feel homesick since they are living away from their friends and family.
On the other hand
, there are still lots of benefits that
students
 can have when studying abroad.
Firstly
,
students
 have a chance to study at a prestigious institution.
Secondly
, they may have better job opportunities.
For instance
, with a diploma from one of these institutions, it would be easier to find a job at a top company.
Finally
,
students
 can benefit personally, by broadening their horizons, making new friends, having good networking, and gaining new perspectives when studying in a different country. In conclusion,
although
 I believe that there are pros and cons of studying abroad, I still think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

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.
