I bet no one could deny that the main responsibility of a high school is to help its students develop various abilities not only the academic abili ties. In other words, music and art should be viewed as basic science. Firstly, It is very important to get fully educated for students. Music and art can help the students appreciate beauty in our lives, and that will broaden knowledge scope of students. Also Music and art do good to students' mentality. A sound mentality is essential to the student's future. 5. 5. What do you do in your spare time? Please include specific details in your statement.: 5.

There are many books to my taste, such as fashion magazines, inspirational books, and professional books. These books can make me healthier and energetic.

Some people think that it's necessary to prohibit people from using phone calls in some places. Others believe that it's inconvenient if phone calls are forbi dden in some places. Which opinion do you prefer? Explain why. Your statement should include specific examples and details.: 6 I strongly agree with the opinion that the use of a mobile phone should be forbidden in some places, such as library and airplane s. The most common reason for people going to a library is to find a silent environment to read their favorite books without interruption. But if you receive a phone call in the library or just send out messages, the mobile phone will ring. Though people h ave personal right to use their mobile phone, the others are not supposed to be involved in the unnecessary disturbance. And I do not think it is very polite unless you can turn down the volume. Another place is airplane. As we all know that it is very dan gerous to have a phone call in airplane. It may cause interference between the signals. Therefore mobile phone should be forbidden in airplanes unless there is a new technique can avoid it.
