In recent years, the issue of living in huge
cities
 adversely affecting human
health
 has gained significant attention. In my point of view, I consider myself

 idea. There are justifiable reasons to note that

. Chief of
this
 is that big
cities
 often have a lot of traffic jams, factories producing chemical substances, and automobile factories, leading to heavy

due to
 fine dust and toxic emissions. To be precise, when

 epidemic, the infection and disease percentages in Hanoi, Saigon or Da Nang were much higher than in rural or suburban areas. In conclusion, living in big

 can cause several problems, namely the problem of environmental

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.
