Foreign Films (Two-Part Question)



Many people prefer to watch foreign films rather than locally produced films.

Why could this be?

Should governments give more financial support to local film industries?


It is true that foreign films are more popular in many countries than domestically produced

films. There could be several reasons why this is the case, and I believe that governments

should promote local film-making by subsidising the industry.


There are various reasons why many people find foreign films more enjoyable than the

films produced in their own countries. Firstly, the established film industries in certain

countries have huge budgets for action, special effects and to shoot scenes in spectacular

locations. Hollywood blockbusters like ‘Avatar’ or the James Bond films are examples of

such productions, and their global appeal is undeniable. Another reason why these big budget

films are so successful is that they often star the most famous actors and actresses,

and they are made by the most accomplished producers and directors. The poor quality,

low-budget filmmaking in many countries suffers in comparison.


In my view, governments should support local film industries financially. In every country,

there may be talented amateur film-makers who just need to be given the opportunity to

prove themselves. To compete with big-budget productions from overseas, these people

need money to pay for film crews, actors and a host of other costs related to producing

high-quality films. If governments did help with these costs, they would see an increase in

employment in the film industry, income from film sales, and perhaps even a rise in tourist

numbers. New Zealand, for example, has seen an increase in tourism related to the 'Lord of

the Rings' films, which were partly funded by government subsidies.


In conclusion, I believe that increased financial support could help to raise the quality of

locally made films and allow them to compete with the foreign productions that currently

dominate the market.

  1.The government's investment in arts, music and theatre is a waste of money. Governments should invest these funds in public services instead. To what extent do you agree with this statement?   It is believed that financing activities related to art, music and theatre by governments is misspending and these investments should be rather spent on public services. I strongly disagree with this because these creative activities promote tourism as well as keep the mental well-being of people in a better state. 2. While recruiting a new employee, the employer should pay more attention to their personal qualities, rather than qualifications and experience. To what extent do you agree or disagree?   It is claimed that during the hiring process, more importance should be given to individual attributes of a new recruit, instead of educational and professional background. In my opinion, qualifications and previous work experience are of increased consideration because an employee wit

International Tourism (Outweigh)

  International tourism has brought enormous benefits to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words. The growth of international tourism has undeniably brought significant benefits to various destinations. However, alongside these advantages, there is a growing concern regarding the potential negative impact on local inhabitants and the environment. In my opinion, international tourism leads to the exploitation of local resources. On the other hand, it helps in economic growth and promoting peace. One major concern is the potential exploitation of local resources. Uncontrolled tourism development may result in overcrowding, degradation of natural landscapes, and depletion of resources such as water and energy. Additionally, the
