MULTI LEVEL PRACTICE TEST 15

PART 1

Do you like watching advertisements?


Well, I'm not very fond of advertisements, but I enjoy watching them if the
advertising concepts are interesting or entertaining. However, nowadays, a lot of
advertisements are really insidious, manipulating people to spend on products that
they don't actually need.

Have you ever bought something because of its advertisement?


Actually, yes I have! I once bought a pair of wireless headphones because I kept
seeing advertisements for them. They were pretty expensive, but the ads made
them look so convenient.

Do you like funny or serious advertisements?


I love those ads that are not too serious and not too funny. The ad should be

straight to the point and also speak fun. It should be a combination of both.

Are there many advertisements in your country?


Definitely, there are. They appear all over the place from the streets to social
media with a high density. For example, there is a multitude of colorful flyers
stuck on the street walls in Sydney.

Why do you think there are so many advertisements now?


I guess it’s due to the benefits of the companies. First, advertisements are the
easiest way to reach customers to attract their attention to a particular brand or
product. From that attractive information, customers will be able to choose an
appropriate one. Second, it also plays a crucial role in the marketing strategy that
the company apply to attract customers.

How do you feel about advertisements?


Sometimes, I find it a little bit disappointing because the quality products are
usually overrated. However, there are other beneficial advertisements in
supermarkets which has informative contents for customers such as on
which daysthere will be promotions or which new products will be launched.

PART 2

Describe a painting you would like to have in your home.


You should say:
 what painting or artwork it is
 how you know about it
 how much it would cost you

I have a habit of visiting art galleries and museums from time to time
because it allows me to take my mind off the boredom of our daily
monotonous life. So, the other day, when I was visiting one of the largest
art galleries in my country, I saw the picture of the beautiful artwork
called “Las Meninas” in a catalogue of all the famous artworks of the
world.

This is the piece of artwork I want to keep at my home. This beautiful


artwork is also called “The Maids of Honour” or “ladies-in-waiting”. “Las
Meninas” was painted by a famous artist of Spanish origin called Diego
Velazquez who was a court painter to King Philip IV during the early era
of Spanish Baroque art (1600-1700).

Originally entitled "The Family of Philip IV," Las Meninas, painted around,
1656 depicts Velazquez himself working in his studio in Madrid's Royal
Alcazar Palace. Regarded as one of the most famous and controversial
artworks of all time, Las Meninas (The Maids of Honour) is widely viewed
as a dialogue between artist and viewer, with its double mirror imagery
and sketchy brushwork that brings every figure and object of the room to
life. Then, of course, some would view it as just a scene from a play,
with all the actors in their pre-planned positions - a blond figure of a 5-
year-old infant, the daughter of King Phillip IV of Spain in the central and
also the other family members of the king. But, for the most part, this
painting has been a mystery for more than three and a half centuries.
PART 3
How do people in your country feel about art?
Art holds a special place in my country. In fact, there are many museums and art
galleries where a wide range of local and international works of art are displayed.
People from all walks of life visit them. They love art and appreciate artists.

Do people in your country prefer music over art?

Yes, they do. Music is an integral part of people’s life. Indians love all
genres of music like classical, rap, pop, rock and jazz etc. I’d like to
mention that young and old people have different tastes in music. The
young generation enjoys fast music with beats whereas the elderly listen to
slow and soothing music.

Are older people more interested in art than younger people?


Considering the inclination of young adults towards technology, I’d say that
the elderly value and love art more than young people. But, I’ve been to
many foreign art galleries and museums, I always found them full of
teenagers, adults and old people. So, it’s quite difficult for me to decide if age
can change people’s views about art or not. May be, it depends on the
popularity of art at a given place.

Should the government provide support for art and cultural activities?
Art and cultural programs help people connect with their cultures. For
keeping our cultural diversity alive, artists must be promoted at all levels. Any
kind of support, in the form of money or resources, will enable artists to make
a decent living and earn respect in society.

Do you think that some people are naturally better artists than others?

Yes, I do think that some people are naturally better artists than others, just
like somebody is better in science and mathematics academically, primarily
because of their genetic structure and disposition towards “creativity”. In fact,
it is my opinion that it is the “genetic disposition” of some children who spent
much of their time in their childhood by engaging in creative activity, whether
it was drawing or singing, or whatever that they enjoyed, in order to develop
their skills from the early years of their lives in the process of play.
