‘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.

The greater proportion of government's budget should be allocated to disease prevention and health education because prevention is better than cure. Do you agree or disagree?
According to some people's opinion, more money should be dedicated to preventing illness and educating pupils on healthcare developments by the government, because preventing would be of better benefit than treatments after sickness. While the value of medicine and hospitality should not be underestimated, I agree with that belief as it would cost much less to teach rather than treat.
