The question of whether students should study art at school has sparked widespread discussion. People in favour of teaching art argue that it brings significant benefits. Firstly, it makes students more creative. Through drawing and painting, learners discover how to express themselves visually, which is something they cannot do in subjects like Maths or Science. Another advantage to studying art is that it is relaxing and fun. It gives pupils a well-deserved break from intensive textbook studying and complex problem-solving. On the other hand, there are certain drawbacks to consider. To start with, some critics believe that art lessons are a waste of time. They suggest that art is not practically useful for future careers and that students would be better off spending those hours on core subjects. In addition, art classes can be expensive, as the money spent on art supplies could be better used to buy textbooks or improve school facilities. All in all, it seems to me that although art lessons require time and funding, their creative and emotional benefits are invaluable. In my opinion, art should remain an essential part of the school curriculum to ensure a well-rounded education. *(214 words)* --- ### Объяснение и правила 1. **Exercise 7 (Развертывание тезисов и написание тематических предложений):** * **Topic sentence** (вводное предложение абзаца) задает основную тему всего параграфа.
