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?

Since there are any barriers to buying anything from anywhere around the world, many
countries
became identical. I think
this
circumstance is developing negative impacts on tourism as well as the uniqueness of the
cultures
.
First
of all, differentiating from each other is important because it makes us unique. Since we are curious about different people,
cultures
, opinions, and places, the travel sector has flourished.
For example
, African heritages and Mongolia nomadic yurts are different from each other,
therefore
, these are two unique destinations for many tourists. I think being different is crucial that makes our world more beautiful.
On the other hand
, would be boring if all people, buildings,
countries
, and
cultures
look similar to each other.
For instance
, the USA and Canada are different
countries
but have almost identical
cultures
- the way people speak, the clothes, the buildings, and even the holiday celebrations are similar to each other.
Therefore
, it is not so interesting due to many similarities.
However
, it is convenient to be able to purchase anything from anywhere,
this
convenience eventually destroys our main character which is uniqueness. In conclusion,
countries
are becoming more similar than they used to be. In my opinion, it affects tourism and fades our unique qualities.

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.
