We can debate what type of art is 1) the most important/importantest, but tastes differ. Of course, every person admires his or her creative word and creates in the field that he or she likes 2) most/morest. It may seem that it's 3) easier/easiest to paint a picture than to shoot a film. But in both cases you need materials, time, resources. Physical work seems to be 4) harder/more hard than intellectual. But sometimes it's 5) easier/more easy to do what you are told than to invent new things. Money doesn't show what art is the 6) best/the bestest either. Very strange art works can cost a lot of money. Sometimes, the 7) stranger/strangest the work is, the 8) more/morest it costs. So you can only follow your taste and interests. The best art is the one you like!

5. Read the text and choose the profession.

1.  Hi, my name is Jeremy. I've always been fond of structures, buildings, materials and big ideas. When I was a teenager, I liked to sketch houses and places around the city. I was impressed by details, forms and constructions. Then, all the things that I love became a part of my work. Now I invent and design them myself.

2. Hello, I'm Andrea. When I was a child, I took different materials and tried to make something out of them. My pieces of art didn't always resemble something from real life. I made very unusual structures and forms. Now I work with wood, stone, clay and sometimes even paper!

3. My work is very difficult. Usually, other people don't understand it and don't take it seriously. It seems to them I don't do anything, just sit with my laptop or notebook. But I'm creating and nobody sees this process in my mind. People realise what amount of work has been done only after they see its result on the bookshelves in the shop.

4. I always receive energy from other people. They're my source of inspiration. So I can't live without stage. I like to try on different roles and characters. But I'm also very exhausted after my work is finished.

5. My art wasn't considered an art for a long period of time. It appeared with absolutely other aims, but with time it became another way to express yourself and show your vision of reality. Now this type of art can be compared with painting on canvas or paper. People from my field even make their own exhibitions.
   
6. Hi there, my name is Mark. I have a passion to put on paper what I see and what impresses me a lot. Sometimes I do it in a way to represent reality, but more often my works are very abstract and each person interprets them in his or her own way. I don't care if others don't understand my art, I do it mainly for myself. I dream to make my own exhibition someday, though.

6. Listen to the audio and complete the sentences.
