 essay, I will discuss both opinions to make a conclusion. Distance-learning programs only became possible thanks to growing technology,
therefore
Linking Words
 it`s continuously developing. There are a lot of advantages in
this
Linking Words
 field like time-saving, cost-effectiveness and much more flexibility than in-person classes.
Firstly
Linking Words
, time is one of the most valuable things that we can never replace or retake,
hence
Linking Words
 internet gives us the opportunity to connect with teachers and learning a more effective way.
For example
Linking Words
, stay-at-home moms now have an extraordinary opportunity to develop themselves through online courses and gain experience from home while taking care of their children.
Secondly
Linking Words
, in-person lectures are expensive due to their availability to take a limited number of students, and costs like school facilities, accommodations, electricity etc.
In contrast

, internet-based education only will need teachers, computers and the internet,
also
Linking Words
 can teach a large number of students from anywhere.
Lastly

, obviously because of the reason above it gives us extreme flexibility to learn from anywhere, anytime we want. On campus, classes are classic learning ways inherited from ancient times. It has a lot of advantages like the availability of gaining experience from other students, meeting new people, networking and live interactions with teachers. Studying is not only about learning a piece of new information, but
also

 gaining life experience and social skills that will
last

 our lifetime.
For instance
Linking Words
, research workshops or group activities with classmates are exciting learning atmospheres where we gain knowledge from each other. To conclude, internet-based education has a lot of benefits time-wise and economic-wise.
However
Linking Words
, I think it can not replace university in-person classes, since we gain memory and knowledge from the people we live with.

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.
