Some think increasing business and cultural contact between nations is positive. Others think it leads to the disappearance of the national identity. Discuss both views and state your own opinion.

Some people argue that more business and cultural
relations
between
nations
could be beneficial to the
world
.
However
, there are others who believe it damages our sense of nation and
culture
.
While
a vastly connected
world
could enhance the speed of developments and discoveries, it is important for us people not to lose our identities and forget about the lessons of the past.
Although
there are some serious downsides mentioned by people against these
relations
, I strongly believe we could use the benefits
while
trying to alleviate the problems it causes and
therefore
, I am positive for more
relations
between
nations
.
Firstly
, inter-connected
relations
between countries and more specifically, between their scientists and pioneers, will impact the speed at which the innovations occur and
hence
, make the goals of human satisfaction and comfort more reachable. To mention a historical example, the first human to ever step on the moon did it because of international efforts. Indeed, they weren't so worried about the conservation of their
culture
otherwise
this
achievement could have not been within the reach of humanity at that time.
Thus
, it is evident when bright minds of different countries work together, society can advance more rapidly and benefit humankind and
this
is not possible without strong international
relations
between
nations
.
On the other hand
,
while
trying to live in a
world
without boundaries, we should not let go of our past and all of the lessons it taught us. Our countries age back thousands of years and surely, we cannot look away from the history and the knowledge that remains.
For instance
, during the Cold War, residents of the Soviet Union partially forgot about their
culture
and demanded products that were produced in
West
Correct article usage
the West
show examples
.
Furthermore
,
this
situation led to a financially unstable nation and eventually destroyed the Soviet Union. So, in a boundaryless
world
, every nation must be aware of the possible adversaries and depend on their
culture
to put up a fight against
such
enemies. In total, I believe the cultural and historical damage that extensive international
relations
could deal to our
nations
, could be reduced using better education and training.
This
will let us leverage the power of diversity in worldwide cooperation in order to build a better and more advanced future.
Finally
, the question of whether or not to become a boundaryless country is going to raise questions more in the future and one should be able to measure the ups and downs and answer it responsibly.

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.
