Essay: Art

Art, in general, can be of many styles and forms and is seen everywhere. As the old saying goes, "Beauty is everywhere but not everyone can see it." Thus, saying that art is no longer in existence in our society seems to be, as for me, absurd.

In the United Kingdom, a certain tech company invented virtual reality glasses that shows paintings and sculptures exhibited in one of the most popular museums in London. This invention was made for people who, because of certain reasons, cannot go to museums personally. According to those who tried this new gadget, who were mostly children, this invention made them more interested in visiting museums. As a result, despite of their young age, these children have expressed their appreciation of contemporary art through their excitement. Of course, it can also be said that if children can be impressed, older people can also have the same feelings.

As technology plays a big role in information dissemination, various kinds of artworks are slowly being recognized by both young and old. Digital art has made its way to our everyday lives. The emergence of modern art is evident here and there. We see it in the simplest and smallest of things. People often spend their free time sticking their noses on their computers and smartphones to see updates on the events around the world. We see photographs being uploaded, songs being shared and statuses being posted. These, as far as I am concerned, are examples of modern art that people appreciate and adore.

These days, people can voice their appreciation of art in myriads of ways and nowadays, going to museums is definitely not the only means.

Cambridge 11 Test 3 Writing Task 1

Sample: The data from the line graph illustrates the carbon dioxide emissions of an average individual per metric tonnes in four European countries every decade from 1967-2007.A closer look at the data highlights the fact that among the 4 nations, the UK has the highest rate in carbon dioxide emissions per person in 40 years. In 1967, there was approximately 11 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide released by an average Englishman which was about ten times higher than the emissions made by an individual from Portugal. However, it can be seen that as time went by, the carbon dioxide emitted by Englishmen decreased gradually to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007. On the other hand, a different trend can be noted in the countries Italy and Portugal where the emissions slowly rose from an initial rate of approximately 4 and 1 metric ton to about 7 and 6 metric tonnes in 4 decades. In Sweden, emissions increased to its record highest in 1977 w
