What are some negative consequences of globalization?
- Different languages, cultures and traditions disappear as everyone becomes more similar.
- Racism and oppression against immigrants.
- Overconsumption of water, certain types of food, and other products.
- Not only finished product but also garbage and pollution travel all over the world.
- The poor become more poor (especially as products go one way and pollution goes the other).
- Growing cities (where immigrants and other people move for work) become more dangerous.

Spelling rules for -ed and -ing endings:
walk - walked - walking

live - lived - living (if it ends with a silent ‘e’)
see - (saw) - seeing (if it ends with a pronounced ‘e’, we don’t remove it before -ing)

stop - stopped - stopping (if it ends with a stressed single vowel and a single consonant, not w, x, or y)
(open - opened - opening, visit - visited - visiting, because the last syllable doesn’t have stress)
hope - hoped -hoping / hop - hopped -hopping

study - studied - studying (if it ends with consonant + -y)
die - died - dying (if it ends with “ie”)
