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.

In some countries university students live at home with their family while they study, whereas in other countries students attend university in another city. Do you think the benefits of living away from home during university outweigh the disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from own knowledge or experience.
Nowadays, studying in different cities has become more popular among the students of some countries while some of them from different regions still prefer to continue their studies staying at their parents' residence. In my opinion, I believe that studying in different cities has more positive sides than negative aspects and this essay will emphasize some of the points in favour of that statement.

There are contrasting views between students on whether is better to attend classes with frequent discussions or with traditional lectures and no discussion.
