Are the material progress and well-being of one country necessarily connected to that of other countries, or are they irrelevant? The speaker's statement is fundamentally true in that in certain conditions the material progress and well-being of one country is necessarily connected to that of others, while under special circumstances this is not true.

It seems tempting to agree with the speaker in that as the progress of global economy and modernization, the inter-communication and interdependence of countries are more than ever. With the development of communication technology, it is much easier to contact a man at the other end of the globe by internet or telephone. Moreover, the advances in transportation also contribute heavily to this trend. Shipping cost has been dramatically reduced in the recent years, leading to the acceleration of globalization. IBM produces the chips in Japan, CPU in South America, the shells in Europe, and their assembly line is in USA. From a financial report in USA, we can see that the total number of international corporations is now over one million, compared to one thousand and five hundred twenty years ago. Along with this trend is the sharp increase of international trades, which has also soared in the recent decades. The economy fluctuation of country can spread quickly to the others, like ripples spreading on surface of water. They can all thrive or depress at the same time through the interconnection of multinational companies and other ties. Thus from this point of explanation countries can mutually benefit or detriment each other.

However the foci would be too narrow if we fail to see that not every country is the beneficiary of globalization. Sometimes global economical growth is like a zero sum up game in that the total investment funds and raw materials are limited. Once funds are invested in one country, it is impossible to be invested in another country again. Similarly, once raw material is occupied by one country, the other countries cannot use it either. Therefore prosperity of one country may lead to exacerbation of poverty in the others. Moreover, some countries which refuse to participate in economic globalization are not connected to the material progress and well-being of other countries as well. North Korea's economy remains stagnant for over fifty years, due to their enmity attitude to outsiders, therefore failing to catch up with the progressing of global economy. It is generally true that the developing countries are obtaining fewer benefits from globalization.

Other factors can also contribute to how interdependent one country is with other countries, of which population and resources are most important. A country can keep surviving by exploiting its local markets, once the neighboring countries are trapped in financial depressions. A good example is Chinese economy during the 1997 Asian financial crisis. By expanding its internal support and demand, Chinese economy succeeded in a 7% GDP annual increase, while most of the other Asian countries struggled in a dire mire of financial crash, inflation and currency depreciation. Therefore the economical progress of one country is not necessarily connected to that of other countries.

In the final analysis, the speaker's statement is fundamentally right. The economical fluctuation of one country sometimes can mutually affect that of the others. However under certain circumstances this is not the case. A country sometimes can survive and even thrive during the epidemic of global financial crisis, if that country has a large population, abundant resources and effective macroeconomic policies.

It seems tempting to agree with the speaker in that as the progress of global economy and modernization, (再看到这句话我要抓狂了) the inter-communication and interdependence of countries are more than ever. With the development of communication technology, it is much easier to contact a man at the other end of the globe by internet or telephone. Moreover, the advances in transportation also contribute heavily to this trend. Shipping cost has been dramatically reduced in the recent years, leading to the acceleration of globalization. IBM produces the chips in Japan, CPU in South America, the shells in Europe, and their assembly line is in USA.(不错的例子,很好地反映了全球的经济趋势) From a financial report in USA（总是有这样的数据，以后要好好向你学学了）, we can see that the total number of international corporations is now over one million, compared to one thousand and five hundred twenty years ago. Along with this trend is the sharp increase of international trades, which has also soared in the recent decades. The economy fluctuation of country can spread quickly to the others, like ripples spreading on surface of water. They can all thrive or depress at the same time through the interconnection of multinational companies and other ties. Thus from this point of explanation countries can mutually benefit or detriment each other.（例子和数据是多，可以看着有点晕，最好再把语言组织一下，不然像是例子的堆砌）

Sometimes global economical growth is like a zero sum up game（看不懂呀，什么意思？） in that the total investment funds and raw materials are limited.

Therefore the economical progress of one country is not necessarily connected to that of other countries. (这个观点我不太欣赏,有点极端,可以改一下,比如说什么全球趋势是主导,但国家本身是内因什么的。有的国家机会摆在面前也不懂得争取，而有的国家不仅懂得把握机遇还懂得如何去面临挑战。这样可以把主题深化一点吧。更简单的方法就是你直接把这段的Topic sentence 改一下，说只要一个国家发挥主观能动性，它能同时把握机遇与挑战，在这样的环境中求得生存什么的吧)In the final analysis, the speaker's statement is fundamentally right. The economical fluctuation of one country sometimes can mutually affect that of the others. However under certain circumstances this is not the case.

确实和以前的风格不太一样了:vomit:，不过很羡慕你每次都有那么多例子和Survey呀！;P;P

a zero sum up game是零加和游戏的意思。就是说资源有限，你亏我赚，你死我活。
例子和数据都是现编的。几乎每篇issue都是这样。
和以前的风格不太一样了？怎么不一样啊？
