雅思考试大作文范文：增加商业文化交流是否有益

 　　题目：Some people claim that the increasingly frequent business and cultural communications are positive whereas others hold a different opinion. Discuss.

　　范文：Although a slight mention of the past pastoral life arouses a nostalgia¹ and reminiscent beauty, which is unexceptionally characterized by isolation² and somewhat disconsolation³, various and frequent communications in business, education, scientific research, and even the daily life are flooding the existent values, ideas, and ideals. Inevitably⁴, this social phenomenon provokes a storm of commendation and criticism as well.

　　Frequent communications in various fields among cultures and people undoubtedly⁵ benefit individuals’ life. Almost every citizen becomes the beneficiary of the communications. People around the world today are able to enjoy otherwise unavailable products and services. For instance, it is due to the international communication in business that people in China can such high quality products as Mercedes Benz from Germany, Titoni watch from Switzerland, and IBM computers. All these cases demonstrate one thing: communications contribute human beings.

　　Not only are diverse array of communications in the international spectrum⁶ positive to individuals, they also have been exerting significant favorable influences on family life. It was virtually incredible to imagine an international family five decades ago, but today on account of the rapid development of communications and transportations, religion and racial discriminations have almost entirely⁷ “gone with the wind”. It is no longer an “abnormal” thing that a Chinese husband with a Japanese wife. Such international family, as scientific research warrants, is a welcome development in terms of both biological and political elements.

　　In fact, the advantages of communications are also shaping and reflecting the general human civilization development. If God, as Bible says, created different languages among men, then men all over the world today are able to work together, pray together, and struggle for freedom together. The communications are actually a process of globalization. This is the trend of sustainable development. With communications, people become brothers and sisters rather than enemies. With communications, there will be peace rather than war. With communications, the mundane⁸ mortals will eventually retrieve⁹ the paradise that our forefathers¹⁰ lost and get renascence.

　　Admittedly, the communications might have some negative influences. But the advantages far outweigh¹¹ the disadvantages. Therefore, the communications should be advocated and encouraged with the utmost enthusiasm.
