Therefore
, I will introduce my opinion about both views. On the one hand,
cities
 are the best place for studying and working. Indeed, there are a large number of big companies for applying

Furthermore

Thus

Besides

as well as
 more chances to have a good life.
Nevertheless

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.
