(一)全球化的缺点：
• 经济上，发展中国家的劳动力被剥削，资源被取用，而
产品却不能够进人发达国家，国内
产业受到外商和外企的冲击;•社会上，外国的产品流人一个国家，会
改变人们的生活习惯和
购买习惯;年轻人比较喜欢外同产品，比如说食品、衣服、电子产品和娱乐方式;
• 文化上，本土文化会被削弱，本土语言会受到威胁，文化多样性会逐步损失;
•
环境上，工业化生产和交通量的加大会增加温室气体的排放;游人的增多会对自然环境构
成威胁。
Topic 1: Increasing travelsbetween
countries enable people to learn different
cultures or to
increasetension between people
from different countries?
外来人口的增加有利于文化的交流：
•
游客或者移民都具备经济利益和价值(commercial interest and economic
value); 而外同人
的停留时间是和东道国的合作密切相关的(The length of
stay depends on the cooperation of the
host
society.);很多当地人因此表现得非常好客和友好，这有助于文化的交流(Manylocal
people are very friendly and hospitable, which
promote the culturalcommunications.);
•
对其他的文化和人民更为了解(a better understanding of other
cultures and other
peoples),改
变人们对其他民族和文化的态度(alter one's
attitudestowards another people or
culture);人们因
此可以接受不同的文化和价值观(embrace different
values and cultures),可以和平共处(create
motivation
to coexistpeacefully), 并促进对多元文化的理解 (promote
multi-culturalunderstanding);
•
促进文化的融合(promote integration),消除文化障碍(remove
cultural barriers), 外来人口的
增加导致冲突：
•
违反当地的习俗会激怒当地人(breach of local customs can irritate
the locals);
•
不同文化的人看待同一事物总有不同的角度(harbour different
perceptions),并给予不同的

解释(different interpretations)，比如对手势、衣服、言行举止有不同
的理解;举止不当会引起
当地人意想不到的反应(provoke unanticipated
responses); •外国游客增多会对当地环境造成
压力，甚至破坏环境，而移民增多可能导致
工作机会减少，致使竞争更加激烈，这些都有可
能引起当地人的反感(cause
resentment in local communities).
范文
Globalization is a catch-all term thatrefers
to any activity that involves more than one
country, for
example, travelfrom one country
to another. The dramatic increase in transnational
travel inrecent
years has sparked controversy
over the potential impacts of this trendon
individual countriesf
especially those new
member states of people are concerned that the
upsurge
in new arrivals will prompt
localhostility against visitors instead of
promoting their understanding
on
mutualcultural background. This notion should be
rejected as one can see many factsin favor of
this development between countries.
The first reason why international
travelswould never bring conflict is rooted in the
fact that both
visitors and localsare
economically motivated. International travel opens
up opportunities
forbusiness development
throughout the world. Entrepreneurs are interested
notonly in the
domestic market but also in the
oversea market. Foreigners shouldlearn the culture
of a country
before winning over the local
people. In turn,locals should show their
hospitality to visitors in
exchange for their
share a view that acceptance of each other's
cultural background is
unecessary condition
for cooperation.
Understanding a culture
has otherimplications. Differences in social
background, cultural values
and
religiousbelief might make the discrepancy of
foreigners and local inhabitants on someissues
indelible; however, the higher interaction,
the higher level ofcommunication and
understanding.
Arabians, for example, used to
considerwesterners as their foes. Now they have
concrete relations
with their westernallies in
many fields. In the initial stage, their
divergence seemed inherentbut
over time, with
better mutual understanding, they take the same
position onmany issues.
Undeniably, it is
likely that in someresorts, foreign visitors repel
the local community with their
scant regard
forthe local environment and conventions when they
first arrive. However, itshould
be noted that
most offense is accidental, rather than d,
visitors disobey rules and
conventions simply
because they have noknowledge of them. This
situation is expected to be
improved with the
passingof time when visitors from different
countries increase their knowledge
of alocal
culture.
According to the above analysis,
we canobserve that the increase in the
international travel should
not be taken asthe
cause of any conflict that arises between two
countries. Alternatively, oneshould
recognize
its role in improving mutual understanding between
twocountries.

范文
As international media companies expandacross
the world, the growing popularity and uniformity
of some media programs(such as TV shows,
movies, fashion shows) is causing worldwide
concern.
Manypeople have strong views toward
this trend. In my opinion, international mediais
closely
linked to cultural globalization and
cultural homogeneity.
The dominance of
international media is asign of Western cultural
imperialism and has the
potential to thwart
culturaldiversity. It is not a secret that
international media is owned and
operated bya
handful of giant corporations, such as Time
Warner. They control largesectors of the
media
market and place national media companies at risk.
Thecontraction in the number of media
owners
will cause a proportional reduction,in the variety
of programs broadcasted. For example,
painting, music and moviesaccessible in the
media have a small number of genres, imposing
restraints onone's knowledge of artworks of
different cultural backgrounds.
In
addition to seizing control over thosecreative
industries, global entertainment companies affect
cultural diversityby reshaping the
perceptions, beliefs and norms of ordinary
citizens indifferent
countries. Most of the
cultural values and ideals promoted by theleading
mainstream media are of
American origin.
American culture valuesindividuality, maximization
of one's benefits and
material wealth, rather
thancommunal life and family solidarity, the
values and norms previously
treasuredinmany
Asian countries. Unfortunately, many Asian people
now imitateAmerican
people, causing the
alteration of their perceptions of family.
Thisradical change can be attributed
to those
movies and TV programs that portraythe success of
American individuals or corporations.
The
loss of media diversity is alsoresponsible for
people's narrow sense of ways of life. The ruling
class of manycountries speaks English, favors
Western food, wears Western-style jackets andeven
prefers Western weddings. Young people are
captivated by Americanbasketball and some even
daubing the names of NBA stars on their
schoolsweatsuits. All these transformations in
life are the
result of the audience'sexposure
to Hollywood movies, TV shows andsports reports.
The loss of
media diversity will lead to
degradation of cultureand to a minimization of
cultural diversity. It is
a worrying trend, as
peopleneed cultural diversity to preserve and pass
on their valuable heritage
tofuture
generations, including lifestyle.

范文
One of the most conspicuous trends in the21st
century is a closer connection between countries,
in
both economic andcultural aspects. There is
a widespread worry that this will lead to
thegradual
demise of countries’ identities.
This issue should be viewed and analyzedfrom
multiple
perspectives.
When a country
tends to develop a closerrelationship with the
rest of the world, it does not
necessarily
give up itsculture. Culture is not a disgrace to
but an asset of a country. An
indigenousculture can distinguish one country
from others, attracting foreign visitorsand
yielding
high income. As most tourists travel
abroad for learning differentcultures and sampling
different
ways of life, such as Beijingopera
inChina,Japanese tea culture and Thai temples,
many countries
have responded withprotecting
and preserving their cultural identities, in an
effort to
keepthemselves in the list of the
most popular destinations. Increased tourism
instillsfresh life
force into these countries,
aiding the conservation of theirfeatures.
While tourism provides a driving force
forcultural conversation, some components of a
culture,
such as traditions^customs or taboos
might die out over time. It seems that in some
countries,
thelocals have become more
accustomed to exotic cultures. It reflects the
combinedeffects of the
invasion of foreign
cultures, either through media or throughdirect
business interaction. For
example, two decades
ago, sex was a taboosubject inChinaand most
Chinese people felt
embarrassed to talk openly
about it. Over time theWestern culture has
permeated into the Chinese
lifestyle, and the
Chinesepeople have broken many of their time-
honoured traditions. It occurs in
therest of
the world as well.
As outlined above,
increased interactionbetween countries in the
domains of business and culture
can either
strengthenor undermine the identities of countries
involved, To date there is no
definiteanswer
to this question.

范文
There is
little room for doubt that tourismis one of the
fastest-growing industries in the world.
However, its impact onculture remains a source
of constant debate. This essay will elaborate on
bothpositive and negative effects of tourism
from a cultural perspective.
Providing
economic incentives for culturalpreservation is
unarguably one of the main
contributions of
tourism. To manytourists, culture and history are
what they first consider when
choosing
adestination. Their mindset has been recognised by
many tourism sites and moneyhas
been
subsequently directed toward cultural protection,
including themaintenance of key historical
sites. Tourism is therefore one of the
primaryforces contributing to the preservation of
a culture.
In addition to raising
financing, tourismcan make an indigenous culture
known to the world and
rally support
worldwideto protect it. When a historic site or a
site that shows a country's
culturalheritage
is made accessible to the public, visitors from
all over the worldwill soon flock
there. They
will share their experience in the local
culturewith their friends and families once they
return home, assisting this site togain
international fame. Both financial and
technological support
will flood infor the
conservation of natural and cultural resources.
On the negative side, tourism
developssometimes at the expense of part of
culture. Food, festivals,
costumes andother
stimulating elements of a culture are highlighted
to entertain
tourists,constituting an insult
to the locals and causing damage to the unique
nature ofa culture.
Moreover, cultural
commercialization has made the sacred elements ofa
culture commonplace and
tourists are
encouraged to attach little importanceto a unique
tradition, which cannot be found
elsewhere.
In the light of these facts, one
canconclude that tourism is neither a boon nor a
bane to cultural
its endeavour lo protect an
indigenous culture should be recognized, ithas put
the integrity of a culture at risk.
