Nowadays, everyday products are predominantly manufactured abroad and shipped around the globe.

This

Linking Words

essay will outline two main reasons why

this

Linking Words

statement has more negative connotations

for

the world, than positives.

Firstly

Linking Words

, international shipping is

such

Linking Words

a widespread service amongst businesses that consumers now have the option to buy almost anything from anywhere in the world.

This

means that they may not support a local high street business if they can obtain a similar item for cheaper, when made abroad.

This

Linking Words

such

Linking Words

a negative because it encourages cheap, and even at times child, labour.

For example

, online Chinese clothes stores

are so popular because they sell unbelievably cheap clothing and deliver straight to your door. The ethics of these businesses have been raised on multiple news and social media platforms, but consumers still continue to support them. Even famous lawsuits alluding to

such

Linking Words

companies having sweatshops and poor working environments are not enough of a deterrent for the average consumer. It may be argued,

however

Linking Words

, that

this

Linking Words

sort of global market encourages businesses to be competitive. But morally, we must ask ourselves, at what cost?

Secondly

Linking Words

, carbon emissions from international deliveries provide another big disadvantage. As the infamous environmental activist Greta Turnberg will attest: ice caps are melting, the environment is being heavily polluted and the world must act now. Rather than acting now, we’re

Although

some goods are transported on the same aircrafts as those carrying people; the additional weight of

items, as well as the many, many planes solely carrying businesses’ merchandise

are

overall bad for the Earth. Even though

such

Linking Words

international goods distribution could arguably be viewed as encouraging multiculturalism, as people are exposed to products from different countries,

this

Linking Words

is not sufficient justification for these actions. The lack of support for national businesses, promotion of unethical behaviour by businesses, as well as the major carbon footprint associated with transportation of goods

mean

Suggestion

means

that the negatives of global goods distribution vastly outweigh the positives.

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
