Câu 2:
NOT HERE!
Where would you expect to find graffiti? On walls and bridges? Perhaps in special
exhibitions? But probably not all over the front of a historic Scottish castle!
But soon that’s exactly where you will be able to see it! And this is not vandalism on a
grand scale. Four graffiti artists, who are well-respected in their home country of Brazil,
have been commissioned by the owner to completely cover one side of the castle with
bright, colourful graffiti.
The reason is that the outer covering of the walls of the castle is in very bad condition
and in a couple of years it will need to be replaced. The family thought it would be
interesting to have the graffiti painted on until then. The artists will be staying at the
castle and working on it for a month. After that it will no doubt become a tourist
attraction for visitors to the area.
Most local people support the idea but there have been some negative reactions from
people across the country who think it is completely inappropriate. But the family are
convinced that when it is completed people will love it. They hope they are helping
graffiti to be accepted as a valuable and respected art form.

ARE THE SENTENCES TRUE OR FALSE?

1. The graffiti will not be permanent. _______

2. Artists from different countries will be doing the graffiti. _______

3. People living near the castle don’t like the idea. _______

4. The graffiti will include scenes from history. _______

5. It will probably be popular with visitors. _______

Write an essay on the topic ‘What is the purpose of art?’ Include the following
information:
•an introduction to the topic
•2-3 arguments with supporting examples
•an appropriate conclusion
Trả lời:
Art has had a great number of different functions throughout its history, making its
purpose difficult to abstract or quantify to any single concept. This does not imply that
the purpose of Art is "vague", but that it has had many unique, different reasons for
being created. Some of these functions of Art are provided in the following outline. The
different purposes of art may be grouped according to those that are non-motivated,
and those that are motivated. First of all, art provides a means to express the
imagination (things, places, ideas that are unreal or unknowable) in nongrammatic
ways. Unlike words, which come in sequences,each of which has a definite meaning,
art provides a range of forms, symbols and ideas with meanings that can be
determined by the artist. An artist can create visual imagery of mythical animals,
religious concepts such as heaven or hell, fictional places, or other things from their
creative mind. Next to, in many cultures, art is used in religion, spiritual or magical
rituals, performances and dances as a decoration or symbol of a god or other divine
quality. While these often have no specific utilitarian purpose, anthropologists know
that they often serve a purpose at the level of meaning within a particular culture. This
meaning is not furnished by any one individual, but is often the result of many
generations of change and understanding, and of a cosmological relationship within the
culture. To sum up, art is a diverse range of (products of) human activities involving
creative imagination to express technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, or
conceptual ideas
