题目大意
各国正变得越来越相似，因为人们能够在世界任何地方购买同样的产品。你认为这是一个积极还是消极的发展？
思路解析
这是一道利弊类大作文，聊的是人们在各地购买的商品趋同化的问题。利弊类文章需要强调在论证上体现合理性，即在具体的分析中，明确能体现出一边的论述的确是大于另一边，或是利弊均等，而利弊是否有说服力并不取决于观点的数量，而是内容是否有说服力。审题时候注意限定观点“buy the same products anywhere”，不能只讨论世界变相似而忽略了上面这点，否则属于偏题。下面月半鸭和大家一起来看下具体观点。
首先来看好处，有两方面。
一是人们有机会购买到更加优质的商品。一个商品能在全世界流行必然有一定优点，比如更加创新的技术、更加舒适的使用体验或是更低的价格。这些对于消费者来说都是有利的。
二是人们使用某个商品会更加便利。世界各地的商品变的统一的背后，意味着商品制造的标准和服务也更加统一，这使得人们在一个地区购买的商品，在另一个地区也能自由使用并享受到售后服务，比如当电子产品遇到问题后，在当地就有可能找到售后点进行修理。
然后来看负面因素，同样有两个角度。
一是各地商品趋同会对文化多样性造成冲击。传统商品往往包含了着当地独有的文化特色，它们的消失对于特色文化的传播和延续是一种冲击。
二是对于当地就业产生不利的影响。一方面，传统商品的消逝会使得许多以此为生的制作者面临失业问题。另一方面，游客到当地发现所能见到的商品缺乏特色甚至和在家乡并无区别后，会感到失望，这样的负面口碑传播后，对于当地旅游业会产生冲击，进而对相关人员的就业造成不利。
提纲
高分范文示例
The once sharp distinctions between countries around the world are gradually evaporating, since the global economic development makes it possible to get commodities from every corner on the earth. While the benefits could be considered during the process, I would argue that the drawbacks of this are even more overwhelming.
Clearly, the merits generated, when countries are less distinguished than before, are obvious, since people would, initially, enjoy a globally standard service or product. Consumers would no longer bother with the computers they have bought abroad, for example, not being fixed if they go back to their own nationalities, as the branches of the electronic brands would have already stretched into most of the major cities in every country. This also lowers the barriers in the communication overseas. The shared means of life gives rise to the increasing understandings between individuals in different nations, leading to the time-saving conversations, efficiency of interchanges as well as better co-operations during the process.
Whereas the damaging impacts appear simultaneously despite the advantages emerging in the similarity between cultural groups. Admittedly, the same life style brings about the same commercial feelings everywhere, while it is at the price of the diversity of the commerce merging itself into the unification, gradually losing its regional characteristics. People would, say, be increasingly hard to purchase their traditional costumes when the clothing market in their countries are closely getting in touch with the international fashion. Meanwhile, the localized civilizations, especially some of which would be weaklings due to the limited economic background, will inextricably surrender themselves to the powerful ones in regarding to a shared development in zooming out the distances between each other.
Therefore, at the same time when we see the boom of the material cultural during shortening the diversity between countries, the detrimental consequence should also be witnessed and treated seriously.
