IELTS WRITING TASK 2

We are living in an era where there are certain boundaries. Although some people say that artist must be allowed to express themselves freely. Do you agree or disagree with it.

Write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Art is a reflection of society. As a member of society, there are certain norms and limitation every individual must follow. However, certain people believe that an artist should freely express their opinion through their art. In my opinion, an artist must reflect the real world sincerely, however, he/she must make sure that it does not has ill effects on society.

Giving freedom to an artist can prove to be of a great advantage for the society. Firstly, an art has the power to radically change the society. For example- a movie on the ill effects of smoking can always be more powerful than hundreds of speeches. It is because people feel more connected with cinema and their favorite stars. Secondly, it is the best way to reflect the negatives of a society. For instance- if a comedian makes jokes about marital rapes or murders, it although makes people laugh but at the same time strikes a chord with them. In this way, a serious problem can be solved easily.

There have been instances when artist were not given freedom. For example- when a Bangladeshi blogger was killed for writing about equality, it created a sense of terror amongst every individual. They felt as if their right of freedom has been snatched away.

Overall, an artist can change or mold a society in a particular way. The artist therefore must be free to express themselves, however he/she must be able to differentiate between a positive change and a negative impact.
