 　　雅思范文:政府是否应补贴传统艺术工作者

       Traditional arts civilized¹ a nation. Do you think government should subsidize musicians, artists, actors or drama companies? What should a government do?

　　Traditional arts, as valuable cultural relics² of a nation, are disappearing far away from the modern society. China, as one of the highly-civilized countries in the world, abound³ in various forms of traditional arts, such as painting, calligraphy⁴, music, architecture and dramas, which are not only our national cultural treasures, but also a rich fortune of the world. (58 words)As essence of a local culture, traditional arts reflect a nation’s artistic⁵ talents and traditions. For example, water-color painting depicts⁶ a harmony between people and nature. Architecture illustrates⁷ a nation’s aesthetic⁸ value and religious belief. Cathedrals, highlighted by Gothic style in the Medieval, represent Christianity. Pagodas⁹, totally different from cathedrals stylistically, are a symbol of Buddhism¹⁰. Peking Opera describes the history of our country. (65 words)However, traditional arts are leaving contemporary people further and further away, one of the main reasons for which is that the authorities concerned and some institutes lack funds and professionals, which are quite essential to the research and promotion¹¹ of traditional culture. Another radical¹² reason should be attributed to the impact of western cultures on traditions. Young people, especially youngsters, are addicted¹³ to western music like rock and roll, without any knowledge about traditional musical instruments. With the economic globalization, traditional culture and arts will be in the danger of assimilation. How to maintain and develop traditional arts becomes the biggest concern of a government. (105 words)Firstly, the government should lay a fund for the research and promotion of traditional arts. Secondly¹⁴, the research institutes and universities should work out a long-term developing scheme, organizing systematic¹⁵ research on traditional arts. Arts belong to a nation and the whole world as well. The prosperity of traditional arts will diversify¹⁶ the culture of the world. (57 words)
