Tough topic today, everyone! What evidence of globalization can you see in your hometown?

[@ahmedmedhat6131]

Greetings, tutor Jack. My country is an enormous market for foreign companies to invest. In Egypt, there are plenty of brands from all over the world. Basically, we rely on import and due to Egypt's location which is middle of the of planet, we have many trade businesses with the world. One of the reasons that make Egypt successful and effective in international trade is the Suez canal which consider a significant path for the ships to make their shipping easily. Additionally, Egypt have main ports in Alexandria and Port said, so it makes the tarrifs for exchange is affordable and suitable for the countries. I guess I have talked immensely but Overall globalization is a big part in our culture over the history and nowadays it is noticeable in many aspects in our life.

In Azerbaijan, especially in Baku, there are several signs of globalization. One of the most visible aspects is the presence of international brands. For example, popular brands like McDonald’s, Starbucks, and Zara can be found across the city, available to both locals and tourists. That is why, visiting the city center is a comfortable way to socialize and make new foreign friends.

I'm Italian, i live in Naples but about one month ago i moved to Padua. I can see in this city the globalization effects, there is a lot of international students that you can meet. Another thing that you can see are interentional restourants that are more and more in this city. But i have to say that despite that Padua keep to hold its old styile and its beauty.

[@JacksEnglish]

Thanks for sharing; Padua looks like a beautiful city (I just Googled it!). In terms of your English, I just recommend adjusting the last sentence: Padua keep to hold its style and its beauty --> Padua keeps hold of its style and beauty. Great job!👍

Globalization has affected my country, ranging from culture , language to food. Youngsters are more attracted to western culture and technology. Their clothes are becoming more westernized. moreover people are celebrating international festivals in Pakistan.

[@JacksEnglish]

It sounds like you are experiencing exactly the same as we are in South Korea. There is a lot of westernization here. Thanks for sharing your clear, concise answer👍

I'm from Brazil

[@JacksEnglish]

Which city/town do you live in? I guess major cities in Brazil are quite cosmopolitan!

[@MohammadJorid]

Would it be possible not to use the subtitles because yt has its own subtitles and does its work best for your pronounciation. Thank you❤

[@JacksEnglish]

I'm not sure what you are asking me. You want me to not write subtitles in the video? I write them because YT subtitles are not perfect. Also, it allows me to highlight key words for the episodes topic. Sorry, but I think this is a valuable aspect of the videos!

[@vizzeus]

[@vizzeus]

[@JacksEnglish]

@@vizzeus Haha thanks! It's a good option for some, and as you said, the others can close their eyes!😄
