Topic study art and music There is a drastic debate about whether all students should be required to study art and music in secondary school Everyone has his own view due to the varied angles of thought to this problem However, when it comes to me, I agree with the statement that art and music should be required courses in secondary school The most significant reason to support my opinion is that art and music are the indispensable parts of human's civilization, and everyone should know about them as well as mathematics and literature Let us imagine that what the world would be, if we could not appreciate our favorite popular or classical music when we need relaxation, and also if we could not decorate our rooms with beautiful paintings and pictures when we move to a new house It would definitely be a dull and boring world lack of beauty and interests So, we can say cleary that students as well as adults should learn to appreciate art and music, which will give them much pleasure in their life Besides, it may also be noted that art and music play another important role that help students to relax themselves Nowadays, science and technology are developing more and more rapidly, and as a result, the competition in our society becomes more and more drastic This trend not only effects the life of adults but also the life of students in college or even in secondary school Students spend most of their time to learning those useful knowledge, which is necessary for their further study or work, such as mathematics, physics, language, and so on They are so tired of these serious studies that they need to relax While, art and music courses give them a good opportunity to switch their mind to a beautiful and easy world They are very essential for students to refresh their thought and energy in their busy study time To sum up, in my opinion, it is a wise requirement for all students to take art and music courses in secondary school, for it maybe the last opportunity for most of students, who will not regard art and music as their occupations, to learn something interesting and unrelated with their later jobs
