1. Speak on the topic: The influence of globalization, discuss cons and pros of
globalization
2. Make a dialogue on the theme- mobile phones

Globalization is a process of interaction among the people, companies and

governments of different countries. We can feel globalization almost everywhere
nowadays. People eat American fast-food, wear Italian shoes, drive Japanese or
German cars and listen to Korean music. Generally speaking, globalization is a
blend of cultures.
There are, of course, some advantages and disadvantages of this process. The best
thing is that people can buy and sell whatever they want from every corner of our
planet. Internet has made it easier. People enjoy the variety of choice and prices.
Globalization also gives an opportunity to learn more about culture of other
nations. Countries focus on what they can do better instead of making bad-quality
products.
Another advantage of globalization is the growth of international companies. They
can open affiliates in different countries and create additional workplace for local
people.
The first issue on the list of disadvantages that globalization has brought is the
pollution of the environment. The building of new harmful factories has resulted
into considerable environmental problems.
In tourist countries, local people’s culture can blend with other nation’s culture.
And another disadvantage is the fact that globalization gradually destroys cultural
identity.
And last but not the least: domestic producers also suffer. They find it difficult to
sell their products when people buy everything on international market.
