【正确答案】[范文]
   In a real democracy, people should enjoy freedom of speech. Everyone should be able to freely convey his or her ideas and views. This kind of freedom must be retained when it comes to artistic creations.
   Freedom of speech is a basic right for all citizens, more so for artists. The ideas of an artist are often expressed not in their speeches but through their artistic works. Denying freedom is a kind of oppression. Only a government without the mandate over its people would fear free speech. Dictators, for example, never allow the people to criticize the government.
   Art is all but impossible without freedom of expression. Artists reproduce the world as they see it, making art a reflection of the real world. An artist may choose any part of the world as his or her subject and approach from his or her unique angle. No two artists perceive the world in quite the same way. If restrictions are imposed on certain areas and subjects, if artists can only approach an issue in ways approved by the authority, and if they are in fear of punishment for truly expressing their ideas, art ceases to be art.
   Of course, artists should abide by the law while enjoying the freedom of expression. Therefore, their artwork cannot be, for instance, pornographic. They must not slander other people or spread vicious lies. Freedom does not mean doing whatever one likes but doing whatever one likes so long as one does not infringe on others' freedom or rights.
   Therefore, governments should not impose censorship or restrictions on artists' creation unless the work is harmful to others in some way. Artists should have their freedom of expression as long as this freedom is not as an excuse for illegal activities.
