The government's investment in arts, music and theatre is a waste of money. Governments should invest these funds in public services instead. To what extent do you agree with this statement? Band 9 Model Answer: INTRODUCTION Latelly, many discussions have risen whether funding for the arts in a proper use or it is better focusing on public concerns like healthcare, education, etc. It cannot be said that heath and health related services, which are most of the essential services in the country are not important, however, my perspective and the way I view the overall picture depicts the idea that the significance of the arts in nation’s ever lasting investment. BODY PARAGRAPH 1 First, support for the arts is far-reaching culturally and educationally. Artistic expression in the form of music, theatre etc. is a representation of a country and allows creativity to flourish. In other countries with less private sponsorship, many artistic institutions would not survive without government support. Furthermore, access to the arts can substantially enhance citizens' lives by promoting critical thinking, empathy and emotional intelligence; all necessary for a functioning society. Plenty of research shows that theatres perform social commentary, to which audiences attend with a reflective eye. BODY PARAGRAPH 2 First of all, there is cultural and pedagogical value to investing in the arts. Music, theatre and all that animates one’s art help to keep one’s country alive and make one innovative. And most art institutions would not be able to survive without government funding, especially in places where private sponsorship is scarce. And arts exposure can add a great deal to citizens’ lives by training them in critical thinking, empathy and emotional intelligence, which are foundational to any balanced society. Theatre performances, for example, can also be social vignettes, in which audiences examine issues of the day.BODY PARAGRAPH 3And also, the arts are economic contributors to a nation. Particularly cultural tourism provides a lot of money to the economies. Even cities like Paris or New York with thriving arts scene, receive millions of tourists each year. Governments by investing in arts and culture not only contribute to a country’s culture, they also employ people and expand tourism. So the monetary return on investments in the arts can be higher than the initial investment.BODY PARAGRAPH 4 In contrast, I concede public goods such as health care and education. But neglecting the arts in favour of these industries would be a disequilibrium of society. It is incumbent upon governments to create a halving budget in which public services and the arts are adequately funded. If ours is a culture where we only care about survival with medicine and education, and not about our culture, it can be doomed to boredom. CONCLUSION To sum it up, public services are vital, but it is also not a wasted use of government money in my opinion to promote the arts. Since both the sectors are vital for a society to develop as a whole, they should reflect it in their spending; so that the citizens can grow by contributing to both of them. _______________________________ 🔔 Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/Polyglotworks/ 🔔Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/polyglotworks/ 🔔 Twitter: / https://x.com/POLYGLOTWORKS/ 🔔Tiktok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@polyglot_works/ 🔔All Links: / https://polyglotworks.carrd.co/ 🔔WhatsApp: / https://wa.me/77075439065 🔔 Website: / https://www.polyglotworks.net/book-online @POLYGLOTWORKS _______________________________

These days it is much easier for many people to travel to different countries for tourism than in the past. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages? Band 8 Model Answer: INTRODUCTION Unlike previous decades where international travel specifically for leisure has been more difficult and/or rare, today globalisation means international movement is a far greater possibility. This has led to an intense discussion about whether the advantages of such a large development outweigh its disadvantages. This essay will argue that the benefits of having more opportunities to travel are much greater than its drawbacks because not only do such activities lead to economic gain, but they also allow countries to exchange culture; where as many believe it has harmful effects on environment and leads to over tourism.BODY PARAGRAPH 1The first reason is that affordable travel options have transformed economies around the world. Tourism is a key industry that generates GDP for many countries, especially those with an economic status of this category. For instance, nations such as Thailand and Spain earn a fortune economically from international visitors where it serves as a job generator and firms prosper. Additionally, more tourism generates infrastructure development such as transportation and hospitality service improvements. That said, this factor speaks to the role that affordable travel plays in benefiting local economies but also a wider world economy through international exchange and tradeBODY PARAGRAPH 2On the hand some people believe that the increase, in tourism is damaging to the environment and dilutes cultures. The impact of large scale tourism activities can be concerning, with problems such as pollution, destruction of habitats and higher levels of carbon emissions being observed. Moreover excessive tourism can put a strain on amenities create a sense of alienation, among residents and diminish the authenticity of encounters. Nevertheless these challenges may be alleviated by promoting tourism approaches and encouraging travel behaviors. Governments and groups are more and more promoting travel choices and putting rules in place to safeguard delicate ecosystems—showing that taking proactive steps can help counteract the harmful impacts of rising tourism levels. CONCLUSION To conclude, only through being aware of the negative factors that may arise as a result of easier global travel, it can be created a shift of focus away from bland commodified holidays, but overall the mass movement available to people through tourism serves an invaluable resource in economic benefit and cultural exchange. Through sustainable travel and improved behaviors, communities can better cope with the benefits and challenges of recent history. Thus, we can say that the advantages of improved international movement on tourism far exceed its disadvantages. _______________________________ 🔔 Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/Polyglotworks/ 🔔Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/polyglotworks/ 🔔 Twitter: / https://x.com/POLYGLOTWORKS/ 🔔Tiktok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@polyglot_works/ 🔔All Links: / https://polyglotworks.carrd.co/ 🔔WhatsApp: / https://wa.me/77075439065 🔔 Website: / https://www.polyglotworks.net/book-online ⁠ @POLYGLOTWORKS ⁠ _______________________________
