雅思写作全球化类范文
1 Nowadays, we enjoy the same film, fashion, brands and TV program. Differences between countries have become less evident. Do you think the disadvantage of this outweigh the advantage?
Nowadays, people all over the world share the same Hollywood movies and fashion. When some people are cheering the colorful life which the cultural globalization brings, others raise doubts about it. To my mind, cultural globalization?s disadvantages outweigh its advantages.
On the one hand, cultural globalization has a lot of advantages. First of all, globalization is a vital process toward transferring knowledge and education throughout the world. Secondly, people can enjoy cultural achievements by artists all over the world, such as films, TV programs, music, opera etc. Finally, the exchange of culture could enhance mutual understanding, create goodwill and remove the hostility and prejudice between different nations.
On the other hand, people who are against the cultural globalization have their own reasons. Firstly, the cultural globalization may extinguish cultural individuality and diversity of minor countries and minority groups. It is reported 90% of the world?s languages are not represented on the Internet; five main countries monopolize the world cultural industries trade and in the field of cinema, for instance, 88 countries out of 185 in the world have never had their own film production. Moreover, globalization erodes local languages and promotes ?Global? English. A recent study published by the University of Hong Kong demonstrates that more than 80% of 6000 languages in the world are dying out because of globalization/ under threat of extinction. Last but not least, globalization has produced adverse effects on local cultural tradition and civilizations. Some people assert that the globalization actually is, to a large extent, Americanization and make it extremely difficult to maintain cultural integrity and religious identity. For example, Beijing Opera, one of most famous traditional arts of China, has gradually lost its attraction to young people.
In my opinion, although the cultural globalization has some positive influences on our lives, we can not neglect the negative effect on local culture.
2. Even though Globalization affects the world’s economics in a very positive way, its negative sides should not be forgotten, discuss.
Everything has tow sides in the world, and so has the process of globalization too. The effects of globalization for the world economy are diverted.
We must acknowledge that the negative effects are from a different kind than the positive ones. Therefore the negative sides, like low payment in less developed countries are important to considerate.
If we take the Euro zone for example, the economic-changes according to the globalization process are huge. Many companies have transferred their factories into cheaper production easier to compete at the world market. The results are rising unemployment rates in the “old industrial countries”.
In regard to the other countries on the world market, like China, this job transfer is a big opportunity. But no one can deny that the consequences for the less developed countries with flourished economy, based on
availability of cheap employees are highly important: Globalization based on this fact brings environmental problems.
Nevertheless there are also positive reasons for global effects. In general it is remarkable that there is a new tendency in “Thinking Global”. For instance people are willing to learn more languages and about other cultures. Countries formally known as undeveloped, like India, are getting chances to be the main leader in a certain field.
All in all it can be said that the effects of globalization are huge. The understanding of economic processes has changed completely. It is important to think in bigger terms, not just about the own country. The positive things that this globalization process has brought must be sensible us for the negative sides. The all over aim should be a world in balance, but this will be a long way. (6.5分)
3 Nowadays we can enjoy the same films, fashions, brands, advertisements and TV channels. The evident difference between countries is disappearing. To what extent do you think the disadvantages overweight the advantages of this?
Globalization creates conditions for widening international exchanges, strengthening mutual understanding between nations, expanding cultural, educational, and scientific cooperation between nations and countries, enjoying the cultural achievements of people around the world which encourages the process of modernization and the enrichment of national culture.
However, these conditions also create the possible danger of diminishing the national culture with a negative impact on the pre123vation of national identity. Through globalization and an open door policy, erroneous concepts and a lowering of ethical standards, a selfish and individualistic lifestyle and harmful cultural products can easily be imported into the country. At present, modern information technology which in the main is controlled by US is hourly and intensively disseminating US ideology, way of life, culture and films across the world. Even US food is promoted so that some people consider globalization as global Americanization.
During the process of economic globalization, inequality between developed and developing countries has been increasing and the gap between the rich and the poor has become wider, most of the result of globalization go to assist developed countries. Globalization does not pose equal interests and risks to all nations. With an overwhelming advantage compared to most of the developing countries in terms of finance and the level of science and technology, developed ca123alist countries control the situation of economic globalization.
For these reasons, globalization is a fierce and complicated struggle in both cultural and ideological fields. We take the initiative in international economic integration but also have to take the initiative in fighting to keep our distinct culture resisting pro-foreign and cross-bred phenomena, and overcoming the psychology of preferring money over ethical values.

With the fast pace of globalization, the whole world has become a global village with combination of different cultures. What are the reasons for losing a variety of languages and cultures? Think of some solution to alleviate the problem.
With the pacing the world, globalization is no longer a myth. Nowadays, it is growing at a terrific speed. Each country has combined to be a global village. Languages and cultures are penetrating each other and we are losing a variety of them. There are several reasons for this phenomenon.
The first reason can be seen is that the great flow of migration. Globalization has helped open the world’s borders, permitting more and more people in small countries to immigrate to other big countries. As the need of working and living, they have to mix new culture with their own culture and use the new language more often. Gradually, they lose their own custom.
The development of technology and economy, however, is the most important factor. The high-tech products in developed countries possess a leading position in the international market due to globalization. Almost all the people in the world are enjoying the benefits of these products and more multinational corporations are emerging. This is not only a high-tech penetration but also a cultural invasion. People begin to be interested in these developed countries in an earlier age. They learn the language and culture of these countries, which will aid them to find a good job in the multinational corporations.
To alleviate the dilemma, the following suggestions should be taken into consideration. In each country, a variety of cultural festivals should be held at a regular time such as poem or music festivals. Through this way, the traditional culture will be kept from generation to generation. Government should raise the consciousness of preserving traditional culture for inhabitants.
In the final analysis, we should keep our own language and culture with the fast 1
pace of globalization.

Traditional arts civilized a nation. Do you think the government should subsidize musicians, artists, or drama companies? What should government do?
Traditional arts, as valuable cultural relics of a nation, are disappearing far away from the modern society. China, as one of the highly-civilized countries in the world, abound in various forms of traditional arts, such as painting, calligraphy, music, architecture and dramas, which are not only our national cultural treasures, but also a rich fortune of the world.
As essence of a local culture, traditional arts reflect a nation’s artistic talents and traditions. For example, water-color painting depicts a harmony between people and nature. Architecture illustrates a nation’s aesthetic value and religious belief. Cathedrals, highlighted by Gothic style in the Medieval, represent Christianity. Pagodas, totally different from cathedrals stylistically, are a symbol of Buddhism. Peking Opera describes the history of our country.
However, traditional arts are leaving contemporary people further and further away, one of the main reasons for which is that the authorities concerned and some institutes lack funds and professionals, which are quite essential to the research and promotion of the traditional culture. Another radical reason should be attributed to the impact of western cultures on traditions. Young people, especially youngsters, are addicted to western music like rock and roll, without any knowledge about traditional musical instruments. With the economic globalization, traditional culture and arts will be in the danger of assimilation. How to maintain and develop traditional arts becomes the biggest concern of a government.
Firstly, the government should lay a fund for the research and promotion of traditional arts. Secondly, the research institutes and universities should work out a long-term developing scheme, organizing systematic research on traditional arts. Arts belong to a nation and the whole world as well. The prosperity of traditional arts will 2
diversify the culture of the world.

What are the purposes of the places like museums, and how should they be funded?
It is well known that a museum is building to display a collection of artistic, historical, cultural or military objects. Undoubtedly museums can have a variety of purposes in the city; I think two roles the museums play can illustrate they are worth visiting.
Visiting museums is informative. Once I visited a military museum in Beijing, China, soon I learned that an ancient warrior might have outfought his enemies in combat if he had had great strength while a modern soldier should be armed with sophisticated weapons. Therefore present soldiers should spend far much time on studying modern technology instead of building up muscles. Likewise, if you visit other museums, you will have a better perception on a certain field, because you can witness some genuine objects which cannot be seen on books.
In addition, a museum can function to cultivate one’s sense of patriotism. In China, schools often organize trips to some historical museums. When the students learn that many years ago, a number of countries invaded China robbing treasure and killing Chinese civilians, promptly they will establish a strong sense to defend the nation, revealing that only a strong motherland can give them pride and safety.
Now we talk about how to fund a museum. A museum can never be considered as a financial burden to society. I suggest that the government should invest a small amount of money on advertisements for the museums in the city. For example, ads of the museums should be forwarded on the travel brochures or maps of the city. Consequently tourists come and admission tickets are collected. Both reputation and funds are earned.
In brief, museums should play a role as an instructive means of the city and incomes from admission can keep them running properly.
