 TEST OF WRITTEN ENGLISH

PROBLEM SOLVING (!)

It is generally agreed that society benefits from the work of its members. Compare the contributions
of artists to society with the contributions of scientists to society. Which type of contribution do you
think is valued more by your society? Give specific reasons to support your answer.

Artists and scientists both make valuable contributions to our society. It may seem sometimes
that artists are more valued. that’s because those artists who are famous make a lot of money.
However, they are relatively few. The fact is that scientists are more valued. They get more respect
from society for the work they do.

Artists reflect their times and their culture. A painter or a writer shows us in pictures and
words that we are like as a people. They record our culture for future generations. Actors and other
performers, like singers and dancers, entertain us. They take our minds off our troubles, and remind us
how beautiful and exciting our imaginations can be. Artists also help keep their societies mentally and
emotionally healthy. For example, children that participate in the arts, such as painting or music, in
school do better in their other studies. Art of all types is necessary to the human spirit.

The contributions scienteists make to society are more obvious. They include the cars we
drive, the computer we use at home and at work, and the appliances that help us cook our meals and
clean our houses. All of those come from the ideas and hard work of scientiests. Because of scientific
discoveries, we are living longer and more healthful lives. Scientists also contribute to the arts.

Movies are the result of science. So are television, radio, and the recording of music on CDs.
Generally, scientists don’t make as much money as famous artists like film stars, opera singers, or
successful painters. However, our society gives them more respect, and they generally make a good
living. Scientists are considered to be serious professionals, while artists are sometimes viewed as
flaky, irresponsible people. So overall, I’d have to conclude that we value scientists more.
