3. Lời giải chi tiết

Student A: Do you think that yarn bombing is art, or vandalism and littering?

Student B: I think yarn bombing can be both art and vandalism, depending on the context. If it's done with permission and the property owner doesn't mind, then I think it's a great way to add color and creativity to a community. But if it's done without permission or if it damages property, then I think it's vandalism.

Student A: I agree. I've seen some really beautiful yarn bombing projects, like the crocheted trees and lampposts in my neighborhood. But I've also seen yarn bombing that's been done in a way that's unsightly or even dangerous, like when people wrap yarn around traffic signs or tree branches.

Student B: What about other forms of street art, such as graffiti and chalk drawings on the pavement? Do you think they're art or vandalism?

Student A: I think graffiti can be art, but it's definitely vandalism if it's done without permission. I appreciate graffiti that's creative and well-executed, but I don't like it when people tag buildings or other people's property.

Student B: I agree. I think chalk drawings on the pavement are usually harmless and can be a fun way to decorate a public space. But if they're done in a way that's obscene or offensive, then I think they're vandalism.

Student A: I think it ultimately comes down to the artist's intent. If they're trying to create something beautiful or meaningful, then I think it's art, even if it's done on a public surface. But if they're just trying to deface property or cause damage, then it's vandalism.

Student B: That's a good point. I think it's also important to consider the impact that street art has on the community. If it's something that people enjoy and appreciate, then I'm more likely to see it as art. But if it's something that people find offensive or disruptive, then I'm more likely to see it as vandalism.

Student A: I agree. I think street art can be a great way to express creativity and make a community more vibrant and interesting. But it's important to be respectful of other people and their property.
