Question:
Museums and art galleries should concentrate on local works rather than showing the cultures or artworks from other countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Answer Hints:
It's an agree or disagree essay. You had better agree with the statement; otherwise, you might ruin your writing test because the reverse side will challenge political correctness. To express your international or global view, besides concentrating on local, you should accept a few stuff from other countries in your home museums.

Agree

  • The nature of museums is to conserve the local culture.
  • Society spends money on museums to hope they serve local people.
  • If concentrating on others' stuff, it's without cultural value.
Supplement
  • Globalization is changing the local concept and redefining the cultural connection.
  • Stuff from other countries may matter to local or local people.
  • Some museums are for broad or global topics, like car museums or movie museums.

Suggestions:
IELTS Essay Format:
-The introduction seems long, refine sentences.
-The conclusion is too simple, rewrite to summarize your points.
-You should avoid using common words repeatedly, and show your grammatical range and accuracy as possible. The essay has and(14), museums(8), are(8), cultures(7), should(5), they(4), other(4); try to decrease duplicated words.

-Suggest using a few rare or uncommon words to demonstrate your vocabulary range and level.
Task Response:
-All parts of the prompt are addressed, and a position that is directly relevant to the prompt is presented. Some ideas aren't supported with clear examples; the example about The Art Institute of Chicago paints may lead to controversy and needs a more internationalized example.
Coherence and Cohesion:
-Ideas are generally arranged coherently, and there is a clear overall progression.
Lexical Resources:
-The lexical resource is sufficient to allow some flexibility and precision.
Grammar Range and Accuracy:
-There are various complex structures with frequent error-free sentences and reasonable control over grammar and punctuation.
