6. How can children benefit from learning about art?
There are few different ways that children can benefit from learning about art, such as developing their creative sides, learning how to express themselves, and learning about how other people think and feel. For example, even a student who isn’t interested in becoming an artist can still express his feelings of happiness or sadness through a painting at school, which is beneficial for his emotional development. That’s why I think children in schools can be positively affected by learning about art.
7. Do you think the government should provide support for art and cultural activities?
Art and cultural programs help people connect with their cultures. To keep our cultural diversity alive, the work artists do must be promoted at all levels. Any kind of support, whether it be in the form of money or other resources, will enable artists to make a decent living and earn respect in society.

Talk about a book you are reading now or have read recently. You should say:

• 
  How and why you got it
  
• 
  How long you it took you to read it or how long you have been reading it
  
• 
  What kind of book it is
  

And say if you would like to read something else similar or not, and why

I’d like to talk about “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”, which is a book I finished reading recently. This book is part of a popular fantasy series for children, but in fact I decided to start reading it to study English. I’m already familiar with the story from the films, which makes it easier for me to focus on the language while I read. I’m not usually interested in fantasy books, but the characters and the story are interesting and fun to read about. As for how I got this book, I got this book from the local library after I finished reading the last book in the series a few weeks ago. The book is fairly long, so it took me a little less than a month to finish reading it. A few weeks is longer than it usually takes me to read books in my own language, but I think it’s a little more difficult for me to read books in English. In the future, I plan to read every book in the “Harry Potter” series, because I’d like to know what happens next. I’ve noticed that my English vocabulary has already improved somewhat, so I feel motivated to keep on reading. “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” is a great book to practice English, and has an entertaining story too. I’ll start reading the next book in the series as soon as I can.
