写作题 Write an essay of about 400 words regarding whether you think living is an art.
【正确答案】

Art is a special way for people to grasp and reflect the world in terms of emotion and imagination, expressing their view of the world and themselves. In my opinion, living is an art of many aspects, including talking and solitude.

The most primary art of living is the art of talking. Every single word that we speak to othersis a piece of art. The art of life is not merely a matter of a man, but is how we communicate with others. Even the word “good” can be used in different tones and to express a variety of meanings, which is an art of talking. It is known that actors of crosstalk and comedy sketches study art language . If we take every word in life as part of the art, our life will be full of joy and happiness. Everyone is a single individual and has their own life. But we are not isolated from others, which makes talking an art of living.

Life is an art of solitude. Solitude is a kind of self- adjustment and an embodiment of an independent personality. It is not the product of unsocial or lonely, but a pleasure. It gives people time to think and return to one’ s original nature, which adjusting the body and mind. People tend to think of communication as an indispensable ability, but ignore solitude is also an ability, which is more important than communication in a sense. If being uncommunicative is a weakness of character, it is a defect of the soul to be alone. Being alone is a wonderful time and a wonderful experience in life which gives us a kind of fullness. Solitude is a necessary space for our soul to get purified. When we are alone, we withdraw from others and our affairs and return to ourselves. At this time, we face ourselves and the world alone, and we begin to talk to our minds and mystical powers in the universe. All true spiritual life unfolds in solitude.

Art is all about creation and a reflection of our mind and the world, and that is how we lead our life. To live happily and meaningfully, we need to get hold of the art of living. The art of talking gives us a good interpersonal relationship. But life is not all about socializing, solitude, which is of vital importance, makes us better know our mind and the significance of the life.
