Essay topics:
1. Should museums and art galleries be free of charge for the general public, or
should a charge, even a voluntary one, be levied for admittance? Discuss this issue,
and give your opinion.
2. Foreign visitors should pay more than local visitors for cultural and historical
attractions. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
3. Advances in science and technology have made great changes in lives of ordinary
people, but artists such as musicians, painters and writers are still highly valued.
What is more important, science or art?
4. Music is an important part of human life. What does music reveal to people about
the world? Do you believe that modern forms of music have superseded the more
traditional forms of music?
5. One of the functions of art is to challenge the establishment. There should,
therefore, be no restrictions in the form of censorship. To what extent do you
agree or disagree?
6. It is more important for the government to invest in projects that benefit the
whole community such as welfare programmes and infrastructure improvements
than to subsidise museums and art galleries as these will only benefit a minority.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
