Nowadays the differences between countries are becoming less evident because we see the same TV shows, advertisements, fashion and follow the same brands. To what extent the advantages of this trend outweigh its disadvantages?

We are now living in a global village where geographical barriers have become insignificant. People wear the same kind of clothes all over the world, eat the same foods and watch the same films. In my opinion,
this
trend has made life easier for us all. There are several benefits to following global fashion trends. It makes

easier.
For example
, now, Indians and Americans or Europeans have more or less the same tastes in fashion, food, and music.
As a result
, young Indian professionals can travel to the US or Europe and still feel at home there. The biggest advantage of following a global lifestyle is that it eliminates culture shock when you travel to other countries. It
also
protects you from discrimination. When you wear the same kind of clothes or eat the same kind of food as everyone else, you will not stand out.
This
will actually protect you from various forms of discrimination that you might experience when you are in a foreign country. An Indian woman living in the US will be at a disadvantage if she insists on wearing only traditional Indian clothes and eating only vegetarian foods.
This
will limit her choices, but if she is willing to follow the culture of the country she lives in, life will be easier for her.

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
