You should spend about 40 minutes on IELTS writing task 2.

Nowadays the differences between countries are becoming less evident because people follow the same media. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

Globalisation has allowed people to adopt a homogeneous culture in terms of entertainment, fashion and other areas. However, there are some people who believe that such uniformity isn’t quite beneficial. This essay shall discuss both sides of this phenomenon.

Having the same kind of preferences helps people get around the world easily. If we watch TV shows or advertisements of a certain country, we get familiar with its culture, thereby making it easier for us to blend in there. The more we get to know each other, the more the differences between countries are eliminated, making the world one harmonious community. We are no longer restricted to brands of our own country but are exposed to international products and services.

People who don’t support such a development are the ones who feel a country’s own ethnicity will be lost if the citizens try to adopt the prevailing global culture. Watching TV shows or movies from a foreign country may influence and alter the mannerisms. Also, some cultures are rigid when it comes to clothing, and the acceptance of universal fashion trends is not easy for them. And then, there are some nations that still differentiate between genders. Thus, following a global trend could turn out to be an issue for them.

To conclude, I agree that the advantages of the phenomenon of having a uniform culture worldwide outweigh the disadvantages. Every subject has pros and cons, and the cons here can be ignored easily, especially when such an acceptance makes life easier.

Structure of the essay

You are asked to write an advantages/disadvantages essay. This precisely means that you have to explain the advantages and disadvantages.

Remember to jot down all the points (advantages & disadvantages) before you begin the essay.

Introduction: Globalisation has allowed people to adopt a homogeneous culture in terms of entertainment, fashion, and other areas. However, there are some people who believe such uniformity isn’t quite beneficial. This essay shall discuss both sides of this phenomenon.
