What can the arts tell us about life that science and technology cannot? (Sample essay with lesson on how to understand the question and help with structuring the essay)

2. In recent years, people watch more movies from overseas? What are the reasons for this? Should the government give financial support to local cinema to produce local films? (lesson with sample essay and help with vocabulary and ideas and how to structure the essay)

3. Music is one of the most important art forms. What is it’s significance in the world today? Do you believe that more modern forms of music have superseded the more traditional forms of music?

4. One of the functions of art is to challenge the establishment. There should therefore be no restrictions in the form of censorship on artists. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

5. It is more important for the government to invest in projects that benefit the whole community such as welfare programmes and infrastructure improvements than for it to subsidise activities and institutions for the arts such as museums and art galleries as these will only benefit a minority. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

6. Some people argue that the amount of violence shown in films and on television has led to an increase in violent crimes in society. Do you agree with this argument? Should the government control what is shown on television and in the cinema?

7. Some people say that young people today do not make good use of their leisure time and that they spend too much time inside watching television and playing video games and that they should rather spend more time outside engaging in physical activities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
