Which type of artists do you like more，photographers，musicians or painters？

1.From my own perspective, it seems to give more preference for musicians compared to photographers and painters. Firstly, the musicians enjoy more interactive communication with audiences. The feeling of connection when playing music for a receptive audience is like no other experience on earth. Being cheerful when you do what you love, it is not only feels absolutely amazing, but also prompts you to perform better. There’s no place like the stage can bring you sense of fulfillment. Secondly, musicians may have more opportunities to work as freelance and earn extra salary in various positions. Some give private lessons in their own homes or in students' homes, and others work as studio musicians, operate music stores, or play the background music for a featured singer or group at recording sessions. Therefore, musicians accepted more than other artists for the publicity.

2.  In my opinion, among photographer,musician and painter, I respect photographer most. The reasons are as follows:

First, considering that musician and painter spend most of their time doing their work indoors, photographers can travel the world to gather materials, broaden their horizon and realize the value of life.

In addition, being a photographer means that you can not only appreciate the beauty of nature, find the shining point in every individual, but also spread the truth, it is an honorable and lofty job.

Finally, if i'm a photography, after retire from pursuing art and aesthetism, I can still enjoy accomplishment by reviewing all my works. It would be of much fun.

Which one do you like better，paper books or electronic books？

1. As far as I am concerned, I prefer to read E-books for the following two reasons. First and foremost, it is mobility. EBooks are portable and you can carry a whole library of hundreds of books with you, without worrying about their weight. Also, you can read eBooks everywhere, on the bus, train, airplane, and while standing in line. In the second place, they save time. Buying electronically will inevitably save your time by not going to a physical bookstore, purchasing a book or wasting time on home delivery. since time is a very important factor in today`s world, E-books provide instant solution to our questions. In conclusion, the eBook is now widely available to the general public and its sales are predicted to rocket in the near future.

2. Personally speaking, I prefer electronic book rather than paper ones for the following reasons.

First, compared with paper books, electronic book is so much more convenient, which enable us to enjoy reading any time, any where we want. There is no way to carry many books around all the time.

In addition, electronic books are more environment friendly. As we all know, paper books are made of wood, which is unsustainable.

Plus, nowadays, electronic books are more suitable for reader, especially younger reader's habits. Reading paper book always make me sleepy, while reading electronic book could be a very lovely thing.
