  sentences to make their writing interesting
  and lively. Too many simple sentences, for
  example, will sound choppy and immature

  to read and hard to understand.

  simple, compound, and complex sentences
  with many simple examples. The purpose of
  these examples is to help the ESL/EFL
  learner to identify sentence basics.
