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?

It seems that there are little to no differences between each nation since similar
products
can be bought no matter where you live. Some
people
have a pessimistic opinion about
this
trend since it has negative effects on the country’s culture.

into account. Some
people
argue that similarities in goods are detrimental to the country’s culture and traditions worldwide since it may lead to a loss of richness and diversity. Naturally,
people
are curious about things that they have never seen before and want to test if the international
brands
are better than their domestic
brands
or just simply want to experience other country’s food and clothes.
For example
, the demand for Korean instant noodles has increased rapidly since more and more
people
watch Korean dramas and movies and wonder how delicious can these noodles be that the actors slurped and devoured so satisfying.
As a result
, local
brands
like Hao Hao have to make more effort in marketing and manufacturing to compete with other famous
brands
in the market. In the long term, these local companies may suffer from a loss of customers and go bankrupt. If it is a traditional craft village that focuses on one product like Bat Trang pottery-making village, it is being difficult to maintain its production because its price usually higher than those that are made by machines in big corporations. And who knows, in the future, these craft villages may disappear and fall into oblivion. These elements,
although
small, help identify the nation and if all of them are gone, the character and uniqueness of a nation is lost
along with
its culture and traditions.
However

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.
