IELTS Writing Task 2: Globalisation Essay Questions
Globalisation questions ask whether the world becoming more alike is a gain or a loss — global brands versus local shops, working abroad, one dominant language, imported culture. They are usually discussion or advantages–disadvantages prompts, which means examiners want both sides handled before you commit. Personal contact with globalisation — a foreign employer, an imported habit, a friend who emigrated — is what turns these abstractions into evidence.
