1
Globalisation is a widely discussed topic it is therefore not all
2
that easy to explain such a complicated term in simple words
3
let's start from the beginning with the background to globalization advances in technology such as mobile phones airplanes telephones
4
and the internet have made the growth of transport
5
and communication networks possible amongst other things this means that people
6
and countries can exchange information and goods more quickly
7
and in a less complicated way this process is called globalization globalization comes from globe
8
and means the worldwide coming together of countries and nations let's look at an example
9
Companies used to manufacture products in their home countries, just like the companies ProfiTV and SuperColor, who produce televisions in country A.
10
Their products are in direct competition with each other, but both companies pay the same salaries and production costs.
11
They have the same customers, use similar suppliers and sell televisions at similar prices.
12
In short, the same conditions apply to both companies.
13
So far, so good.
14
Due to technical, cultural and economic developments that have come about through globalisation, other companies, which manufacture products under different conditions,
15
can now offer their products in country A too.
16
That's why a company from country B can sell televisions here at a lower price, because they were produced for less.
17
The local firms Supercolour and ProfiTV have to react to withstand the competition.
18
And so the world grows closer together, and there is an active exchange of goods between countries.
19
More affordable products are available for more people.
20
However, not only does an exchange of products and economic goods take place, but also of services, knowledge, cultural goods and even languages.
21
All of these individual elements are closely linked and influence each other.
22
But where there is light, there is also shadow.
23
Because of globalization and this intense exchange of goods, people and the environment often suffer.
24
If a company decides to move production to an economically disadvantaged country, people in industrialized countries lose their jobs.
25
At the same time, job opportunities open up to many locals in the economically disadvantaged country.
26
Many people in these countries work for very little money in comparison to those in industrialised countries.
27
Therefore, they often remain poor and more often than not, do not have sufficient insurance, social insurance or health insurance cover.
28
A further disadvantage of globalisation is ecological problems such as climate change.
29
The use of aeroplanes, ships and lorries to transport goods over international borders is constantly on the increase.
30
This causes more carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere, which, in turn, is the main cause of global warming.
31
Even national environmental standards are ignored.
32
This is a further cost factor in the worldwide international site competition, which should be kept as low as possible to be attractive for a company.
33
There are therefore many sides to globalization which affect almost all aspects of life,
34
causing me to think that the chain of positive and negative effects will continue to grow further.
35
What's important is to realise that globalisation itself is neither good nor bad.
36
It just depends how people deal with all the new possibilities in the future.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
