Owing to the development of technology, employment conditions have changed. In
this
day
 and age, many employers offer the possibility of working from
home
. Despite some
people
 assuming that it can have negative aspects,
such
 as lack of communication or decreased productivity, I believe
this
 trend provides many merits. The primary reason why
this
 situation has a positive effect is that
people
 do not need to spend their time getting to an
office
. Having worked from
home
, individuals can forget about wasting plenty of time in traffic jams.
For example
, I live in a big city, Kyiv, and getting into the
office
 in the morning can be really exhausting. After
such
 a long way to the
office
, some
people
 can be unproductive during the
day
 and have to mitigate their tiredness by drinking too much coffee, which can have a negative impact on their health.
Secondly
, working from
home
 often allows employees to have a flexible schedule. Not only can
people
 start their working
day
 when it is comfortable for them, but
also
 they can take necessary breaks during the
day
.
For instance
, I work from
home
 and prefer to go to a gym in the afternoon and return to my work tasks after. What I like about working from
home
 is that I do not need to spend my whole
day
 in the
office
 and can manage my household chores during breaks. In conclusion, new technologies gave employees a chance to work from
home
. Even though some
people
 are not satisfied with
this
 situation, I can see only the positive influence of it. Not only can individuals skip a long way to the
office
, but they can
also
 have a flexible schedule.

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.
