An essay Some people believe that governments should give financial support to artists such as painters, sculptors and musicians. Others, however, argue that artists should be funded by other sources. Discuss both these views. It is irrefutable that artists are often lack of financial support when they are not famous in the society. Without the financial support of others, artists have a hard life that limited the future development of them. Take Vincent Van Gogh for example, he had an unbelievable genius of painting, but his talent was not recognized by his family and the society. He lived a poor life as his paintings sold not well. After a long time of no financial support, he was badly ill both mentally and physically and finally died when he was still very young. On the other hand, if government give financial support to all the artiest, the budget would increased sharply. As the budget increased, people should pay much more tax than before that might leads to social unrest which is bad for the harmony and peace of society. Moreover,people of other industry might think this policy is an action of injustice,they would ask for financial support as well.

A foreign film The foreign film I just watched a few months ago is the newest X-men: The day of future past. It was released in May, and was the hottest movie in all cities of China. The film lasted about 2 hours and I was totally attracted by the imaginary story and exciting plots. It told the story about the professor sent Wolverine back to the history in order to change the doom of both the Humans and mutants. Back then, Wolverine met the young professor and a new character named quicksilver who is actually magneto's son.The film ended as an expected happy ending that all X-men were saved from the enemy. I love the film not only for the story but also for James McAvoy, who is my favorite foreign actor. He is a young british actor. I first got to know him was by X-men:First Class, in which he performed as the young professor X. He was so charming and handsome that I couldn’t get rid of the character from my mind for a very long time. Since then, I’ve become a typically crazy fan of him. Back to the film, I really look forward to the next flim of X-men series.
