Doctor Smith
With so many opportunities to connect nowadays, some people believe that no matter which country we come from. we have more similarities than we have differences. However, others have observed that differences between themselves and people from other countries are growing. In your view, are differences between people from different countries increasing, or are they diminishing? Why?
Amy
I think the differences among us are decreasing as our exposure to products from other countries grows. We can enjoy food from any country. We can watch movies made in faraway places. We can go to a store and buy authentic goods from around the world. These things become part of our normal life and make our differences seem smaller.

I understand what Amy is saying, but for some people, being exposed to differences makes them retreat into their own corner even more. Look at social media. We are exposed to many different people and ideas, but a lot of people talk to only those they agree with and ignore the rest. This only makes the difference between people increase.

In my opinion, I am inclined to approve of the statement of Amy when she contends that the differences among us are decreasing as our exposure to products from other countries grows. Besides the reason of what Amy claimed, I reckon that differences between people from different countries are decreasing, because with a deeper understanding of each other's cultures and conventions, the more similaritie s between the countries will be discoverd. To be specific, I used to meet a Japanese friend when I was in highschool. What surprises me most is that many cultures from Japan are really similar to ours, such as renuiting families together during the Spring Festival and enjoying the Chineses new years. It enhanced my horizens about the whole world, and making acknowledged that there are some many similarity among countries. Therefore, I am in the line with the opinion that differences between people from different countries are decreasing.

In my opinion, I concur with Amy's assertion that the differences among us are diminishing as our exposure to products and cultures from other countries increases. In addition to Amy's reasoning, I believe that as people gain a deeper understanding of each other's customs and traditions, they will discover more similarities between their respective nations. For instance, during high school, I befriended a Japanese student and was astonished to find numerous cultural parallels between Japan and my own country, such as the importance of family reunions during the Spring Festival and the shared enjoyment of Chinese New Year celebrations. This experience broadened my worldview and made me realize that there are indeed many similarities among different countries. Consequently, I firmly support the notion that differences between people from various nations are decreasing. (135 words)
