Answer 1

Hi!

To me, the choice depends on the contextual level.

1. As an EFL teacher, learners should learn the first one first to be able to learn the second more easily. This is more recommended for the beginner and intermediate learners/users/speakers.

2. As an M.A., Ph.D., or a conference lecturer, the second one is preferred because it enjoys brevity, formal richness, and stylistic beauty. You deliver more with less words. The same is true in academic writings: theses, dissertations, papers, pamphlets, etc.
