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.

You borrowed some books from your school or college library. Unfortunately, you have to go away to visit a sick relative and cannot return the books in time. Write a letter to the library. • explain what has happened • tell them what you want to do about it.
I am writing this letter to explain why I have been unable to return the three books I have out on a three-day loan, which are now overdue. After taking the books out on 16th March, I had an urgent phone call from my elderly aunt's neighbour to say that my aunt had had a fall and had been taken into hospital. I am her only surviving relative in this country, so I felt I had to go and see her immediately. I travelled down to Surrey the following morning, thinking I would stay for only two or three days. Unfortunately, my aunt 's condition has only improved very slowly, so I have had to stay here longer than expected. However, the hospital says that if all goes well, she should be able to go home in two or three day's time, in which case I will be back at the beginning of next week.

Some governments today seek to monitor the general public’s electronic communications (in the form of phone calls, texts, and emails) saying that this reduces crime. Many people oppose this, however, saying that it erodes individual freedoms. Discuss the aspects of this debate, and give your own conclusion to the discussion.
Recent years have witnessed the ever-increasing growth of high-technology crimes through electronic communications, so some governments in certain countries are looking for measures to control this phenomenon. This essay will discuss both sides of the argument and provide evidence as to why I agree with the opinion.

Car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past thirty years that many cities in the world are now one big traffic jam. How true do you think this statement is? What measures can governments take to discourage people from using cars?
Over three decades from now, the possession of cars has been dramatically growing, which has led to constant congestion. This viewpoint is well-supported by evidence, and I wholeheartedly concur with the assertion made that governments and automakers have historically taken full advantage of their short-term advantages, even when doing so has resulted in negative outcomes.

Some people think that this is good for a country, while others believe that the government should control salaries and limit the amount people can earn. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Nowadays, there is a huge gap between the highest and lowest wages of an employee in many parts of the world. Despite some agreements with this inequality, many including me, believe this might lead to many unpleasant consequences which affect the workforce in a negative way. In this essay, I will discuss both ideas and express my agreement with the latter one.

The spread of multinational companies and the resulting increase of globalization produce positive effect to everyone. Do you agree or disagree?
One major advantage of globalization is that it gives consumers access to a wider range of goods and services.
