Some people think that spreading multinational companies and the increasing
globalization produce positive effects to everyone. Do you agree or
disagree?
真题大意是问考生关于如日中生的跨国大公司与逐渐扩大的经济全球化，到底是不是对大家都有好处?2月9日的试题比类似的考古题更为复杂，因为不光是比较全球化的利弊，而却还要讨论国际大企业在全球化的现象中所扮演的角色。考生如果只提全球化，只算回答一半，另外一半是跑题。如此可能会遭受扣作文分数，可是未必影响英文成绩。
英文的使用方面，因人而异，没话说。提供一篇范文给学友参考。
It is becoming clear that the growing globalization, and along with it the
expanding multinational companies, is not likely to benefit all the people all
the time. In theory globalization could be the answer to the world's seemingly
intractable economic problems, but in practice it might backfire because its
fragility has often been underestimated. While this game is now inevitable, some
people are wondering if the economy of each country has to be dependent on the
economy of all the rest countries in order to make everybody happy.
Multinational companies are big players in the game, reshaping world trade.
The international economy that used to be is giving way to a new multinational
economy as these companies play an increasingly decisive role in globalization
changes. The dominance of leading corporations is helping capitals and
technologies flow, and goods and services move beyond borders in what seems like
a win-win situation. Free trade does pay off, spurring economic growth, creating
jobs, reducing labor costs, and lowering prices on many products, among other
obvious benefits, even though the practice is not without negative consequences.
For example, too much outsourcing jobs overseas has been criticized in the
United States because it presents a new threat, contributing to work insecurity
and economic recession at home. However, in some labor-intensive countries, too
much financial reliance on big foreign firms gives rise to doubts if it would
not be an allusion to a new form of colonialism in the making.
The effects of globalization are manifold, affecting various aspects of
people's lifestyles as well as world economy, chiefly because of marketing
strategies undertaken by different multinational companies. Promotion of liberal
trade activities is perhaps the greatest achievement of globalization, acting as
a boon to world economy in which fruits of success can be shared by as many
people as expected. From this viewpoint, globalization is a a positive
development. Nevertheless, there are reasons that not everyone really thinks
highly of the epidemic globalization which is changing individuals' lifestyles
in a manner too far too fast. In some developing countries, there are worries
among people that multinational companies and big economies are controlling the
way they live and the way they work. Currently in some developed countries, due
largely to negative effects of globalization there appears no end of bad news
invariably related to unemployment troubles and financial disasters.
Regardless of its advantages and drawbacks, globalization is a fact of life
and is here to stay like the Internet and other inventions which further push
international exchanges. It remains to be seen whether globalization engineered
by multinational empires may just turn out to be the best or the worst
phenomenon that can happen to people around the world. While the game is far
from over, one thing is sure: happy or not, there is no turning back. |
