Countries are becoming more and more similar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Nowadays transport system has become more convenient so the seller can import numerous items from different region
hence
countries has become more and more similar . In my opinion, it is a negative development. On the one hand, the
products
from other countries bring lots of conveniences.
For example
, the cleaning robot which was invented by a German company can help a household to clean up their home easily and increase the efficiency of cleaning. So some
people
think buying the same
products
anywhere in the world can bring beneficial impacts.
However
, it causes some negative influences.
On the other hand
, using the same
products
in different areas can increase the speed of losing their own
culture
.
For instance
, more and more
people
in Taiwan decided to listen to foreign music, like English
songs
, K-pop and J-pop
instead
of Chinese
songs
.
Hence
the singer in Taiwan did not want to produce new
songs
which cannot earn money and Chinese
songs
which played an important role in Chinese
culture
vanished. So I think it will cause negative development if
people
use the same
products
in the world. To summarize,
although
the
products
which are produced by other countries can bring some benefits it
also
causes some irreversible damage to our
culture
so, in my opinion, I think it is a negative development for
people
using the same
products
worldwide. If the crowd do not try to deal with the problems the
culture
will disappear someday in the near future.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
