Multinational companies are becoming increasingly common in developing countries. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?

In developing nations, transnational corporations are growing rapidly.

Although

, it is a good positive sign for companies in terms of cheap labour cost.

However

, there are some drawbacks of forcing workers to task for long working hours. The primary benefit of setting up companies in developing countries is low cost incurred in manufacturing products.

This

is because, companies hire labours at a very low wages to produce product compared to their home country, due high salaries. Wages of western people's salaries are almost double than in the developing nations.

For example

, Apple companies most of their products manufactured in China and these products assembled in Japan,

that is

why costly iPhones starting price are $499.

However

, there is a drawback of increasing number multinational companies, these companies apply their own strict rules of working hours for their own benefit to get results, sometimes people have to work for around 14 hours a day in these companies to meet deadlines.

This

creates huge pressure on people to work harder beyond their limits, which is

also

affecting their health mentally. One

such

example is, a report stated by New York times in 2011, In China many Chinese labours was committing suicide because of immense pressure to perform task long hours from Apple corporation. In conclusion, the prime benefit for multinational companies prefer their products to be manufactured in developing is due to low cost labours, but the biggest drawback is, they are

also

exploiting people to do jobs more numbers of hours.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

Summary
Restatement of thesis
Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

In conclusion
To conclude
To summarize
Finally
In a nutshell
In general

Some people believe that teenagers should be required to do unpaid community work in their free time. This can benefit teenagers and the community as well. To what extent do you agree or disagree.
Offspring are the backbone of every country. So, there are communities who tend to believe that youngsters should be encouraged to initiate social work as it will result in flourished society and individualistic growth of youngsters themselves. I, too believe that this motivation has more benefits than its drawbacks.

The use of social media such as Facebook or Twitter is replacing face-to-face contact this century. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
The use of social media is shifting direct interaction these years. The benefits are it makes communication easier and also open networking is much simpler. However, it replaces direct interaction for some occasions that need to be elaborate. Due to these facts, I wholeheartedly agree that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

Are classes, such as painting and drawing, are as important to a child's development as other subjects, so it should be compulsory in high schools. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is an indisputable fact that science and technology have permeated almost every aspect of human life and the demand for workers in these two sectors is undoubtedly increasing. High schools, one of whose primary roles is to provide a sufficient supply of manpower for industries, either are pressured into or deliberately focusing on science subjects to cater for such an increase. However, I believe that students need to dabble in the arts because it not only benefits them socially and emotionally, but also helps them think creatively and become more patient.
