Any people are intended to go abroad to travel to see what other countries look like. However, the places all around the world are looking more and more similar. What do you think is the effect cause the similarity? Do you think the advantages of this effect outweigh the shortages of it? 思路：
导致相似的原因： 根本的原因是深度的全球化。
首先，在一个国际旅游兴盛的时代，每一个地区，尤其是那些交通枢纽中心，被要求重建基础设施来达到一个统一的国际标准。举例，为了满足外国游客的需求，酒店和购物中心总是被设计为西方风格的摩天大楼;地铁和机场和建造也总是遵守一种全球通用的外观;各种指示牌，广告牌，甚至是菜单的文字信息也总是被翻译为英文，这个国际性语言。 第二，全球性流行文化的流行。现在，全球性文化，它们非常地流行和有吸引力，和正在以一个前所未有的速度占领着每一个国家和地区的文化市场。举例，任何一个城市的任何一家电影院，几乎会在同一时间上映来自好莱坞的大片。此外，年轻人们也总是对于某些国际品牌有着相同的偏好，举例，无论是上海，东京，还是纽约的年轻人，都穿着耐克的衣服在身上，拿着苹果手机在手里。
好处：这给外来人员带来便利。举例，即使是一个对于当地文化完全陌生的国外游客，也能迅速地通过统一的符号，语言和外观找到酒店，餐厅，公交路线，医院和警察局，这让旅行变得简单，舒服和安全。还有，统一的国际标准也提升了当地的生活水平。举例，在国际标准的要求下，那些落后的，偏远的地区也会有来自政府的投资来现代化其交通，航空，医疗，邮政和网络系统，这能让当地老百姓的生活实现升级。
坏处：最大的担心是当地文化特征的消失。很明显的，这种高相似度意味着国家之间文化代沟的消失，并最终导致当地文化的衰退。举例，当英语，国际流行时装和麦当劳和摇滚乐在每一个地区的每一条大街上泛滥的时候，当地的语言，传统服装和首饰，传统食物和民歌将失去生存的机会。
范文（Band 9）：
Nowadays, a high similarity between different countries has been a heated social issue in debate. In my view, the main cause is the globalization, and I agree that its advantages override its shortages.
Firstly, the root cause of this trend is the deep globalization. Specifically, in an age of thriving international business and travelling, all countries and regions,
especially the ones that are pivots of transportation, are required to rebuild their infrastructures, for the purpose of reaching so-called global standards. For example, in anywhere worldwide, hotels are designed as western-style
skyscrapers; the construction of railway stations and airports always follows the international norms; information on products, indicators, billboards and even food menus are translated into English, the universally global language. Besides, the form of a global pop culture also contributes much to the trend of similarity. For example, with exposure to the advertisements of multi-national companies, young people in Shanghai, Tokyo, or New York have the similar tastes in international famous brands, such as wearing clothes of Nike, and playing iPhone of Apple. Such globally common preference also makes people in different regions look the same.
I strongly believe this trend is beneficial for both local and international people. For one thing, a foreign tourist who is completely strange from the local society can easily find the hotel, restaurant, hospital, police station and even bus routes by the cross-country uniform language, symbols and appearances of buildings. By this way, the trip would be safer, more comfortable and pleasing. For another, this trend also improves living conditions of local residents. For example, under the demands of global standards, an undeveloped or remote area would receive the investment from the government for the modernization of its traffic, airline, postal, health care, and telecommunication systems, all of which can fulfill the update of daily life of locals.
However, there is always a big concern with this trend. Obviously, the high-level similarity means the decrease of cultural gap between countries, thus leading to the elimination of the national identity. For example, when English, famous-brand fashions, McDonalds and rock music are overwhelming in streets of a country, its indigenous language, traditional clothes, local cuisine and folk music will lose the space for survival.
In conclusion, there are two main causes of such trend of cross-border similarity, or international travelling and the popularity of global culture, respectively. In addition, according to the analysis above, the relevant benefits indeed outweigh the risks.
题目2：慈善是应该只管国内，还是应该管管国外
Some people believe that charity organizations should give aid to those in greatest need, wherever they live. Other people believe that charity organizations should concentrate on the people in their own country. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 思路：
慈善国际化的理由1：公平性。帮助弱势群体是慈善的第一目标，这和受众人群的背景，宗族没有关系。此外，这能增加国与国直接的互信。举例，如果南韩能资助北韩来对付饥荒的话，则两个国家间将不再有对抗和战争。
慈善国际化的理由2：帮助穷国其实是帮助自己。举例，很多全球性问题是跨国界的，如疾病，污染，恐怖主义。它们源于穷国家的贫穷，却会很快地传播到富国境内。所以，给穷国家捐钱捐物捐药，其实也是保护了富国自身。
范文（Band 9）：
Charity organizations always play a pivotal role on helping people who live in sub-human condition or poor countries. It is undeniable that charity organizations help a lot for the less fortunate. However, people have mixed view about whether charity organizations should help own county or other places .It is understandable that people from different background put different interpretation on the same issue.
Firstly, there are main reasons approving of such cross-border charitable support .For one thing, it bases on humanitarian that help those who deserve to be helped. That is to say, regardless of their origin, race, color that means
everyone is equal to get the aid. For another, these charitable activities can help to reduce the gap between rich and poor. Actually, for decades, there is always a hostile relationship between South Korea and North Korea. If South Korea can actively provide its neighbor country with crops to eliminate the massive famine, then the tension and misunderstand between them will be replaced by friendship, mutual respect and peacefulness.
What is more, in terms of the strong interdependence between rich countries and
poor ones, the assistance to reduce the social problems abroad is actually an ideal measure to protect local areas. For example, many issues originate from poor countries, such as air and water pollution, fatal social epidemics like bird flu, drug trafficking and terrorism, are cross-border and can easily be transmitted into rich countries. Hence, only by donating food, financial aids and medical facilities to these countries for the eradication of poverty-related social problems can rich countries get rid of these potential oversea threats , as well as having a peaceful and clean surrounding environment that keep domestic society stable and safe.
However, towards the same issue other people have opposite view. They claim that sponsorships are limited. First of all, even if in richer countries also have poor people and homelessness. If domestic charity organization fails to take fully into account people in their own counties, it will also lead to the gap between rich and poor. Thus, there are negative effects on our society, such as domestic crime and anti-social emotion.
In conclusion, charity organization is type of non-profit organization and we should appreciate its help that make the world better.（374）
