Band 7.5

Some people regard the increasing business and cultural contact between countries as a positive development. Others, however, feel that this will lead to the loss of national identities. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

contact
 between nations has positive and far-reaching effects. One main reason is that it can improve individuals' living standards. Take daily food
for example
. Some exotic vegetables and fruits transported by international businesses increase food diversity on dining tables and satisfy citizens' needs for nutritious and balanced diets. At the same time, it will create more jobs for the young in various industries, including packaging, transporting and retailing, which is beneficial to boost their incomes.
In addition
, cultural
contact
 between countries has a positive influence on cultural accumulation. By absorbing the upsides and integrating with foreign

Nevertheless

 trend will give rise to the loss of national identities.
Cultures
 are inextricably bound in the manufactured artefacts. If the relentless advance of international brands into every corner of any country continues, the bland packages might one day completely oust local items, which will lead to a sad disappearance of the manifestation of local

 and even the loss of national identities.
On the other hand

For instance

 as long as governments pay attention to and control the level of

 with other countries.

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
