Guided work. Supporting a statement through amplification (development),
Exemplification and rephrasing.

A. Amplification (development).
Example:
The lowering of trade barriers enables firms to base individual production activities
at the optimal location. Studies show that a firm might design a product in one countri,
produce component parts in two other countries, assemble the product in yet another
country, and then export the finished product the world.

Example:
The role of technological innovations in globalization can hardly be overestimated.
In fact the Internet and World Wide Web have already developed into the information
backbone of economy.

B. Exemplification.
Example:
Many countries such as the USA, the UK and Maintain their historic positions at or
France. near the top of the host countries for
Such countries as the USA, the UK and foreign direct investment inflows
France
Countries like the USA, the UK and France

Example:
There are plenty of evidence that the lowering of trade barriers has facilitated
globalization of production. For instance, (For example,) over the last decade the

volume of world trade grew faster than the volume of world output

Example:
Over the last few years globalization has been the target of a growing number of critics.
Take the case of Harwood Industries, a U.S. clothing manufacturer that closed its U.S.
operations after shifing manufacturing to Honduras where wage rates are much lower.
Migration of a low-wage manufacturing jobs offshore and reduction in demand for
skilled workers is a case in point.
One example is the argument about a shortage of unskilled workers. Take accusation of
advanced nations exploiting the labor of less developed nations for instance.

C. Rephrasing.
Example:
Between 1950s and 1994 the volume of world merchandize trade grew more than 6%
per annum, while the volume of world output grew at around 40% per annum. Put it
differently, by 1994 world output was 6 times as large as it was in 1950, while world
trade was 15 times larger.
