这一篇写了两遍才敢拿出来.
It is the artist, not the critic,* who gives society something of lasting value.
*a person who evaluates works of art, such as novels, films, music, paintings, etc.
------正文------       
Artists, satisfying people's needs that go beyond physical survival, give society something of lasting value. At the same time, critics make artistic products accessible and understandable to ordinary people, although critics are not without their faults when giving incorrect judgments.

Artists successfully maintain beauty in various forms and contribute to harmonize the society through art works. Given that things which bring about intense aesthetic experience can not retain for a long time, artistic products to some extent "fix" the very objects in diverse forms. Thus the products may be appreciated for hundreds of thousands of times, with no diminishing value to motivate the same aesthetic experience on people. For example, when the famous wife of Francesco del Giocondo died hundreds years ago, her portrait known as Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda, has constantly attracted numerous visitors, desperate for personal encounters with that enigmatic expression, to Musee du Louve every year. On the other hand, cohesion is rendered to the society by certain kinds of art works. Calligraphy, for example, is considered as an art form in China and the Chinese view it an important source of cultural identification and unity. Confronting the masterpiece from a calligrapher, a Chinese usually has an intense feeling of a membership of his or her own society, as distinct form part of another. Although the impact that artistic products exert on people may vary from person to person, generally it strengthens their sense of membership through shared aesthetic principles, which makes a great difference to social harmony.

If the artistic products are scrutinized from other angles, there comes our need for critics. Artists, as Emerson once said in BEAUTY," have the same love (to beauty of the world) in such excess, that, not content with admiring, they seek to embody it in new forms." Since artists CREATE their works, it then becomes difficult to judge the value of their products. As is known to all, artistic works, in forms of paintings, music, sculptures, etc, are very different from scientific theories, which tolerate no difference and sometimes can be evaluated objectively by people in general. Artistic products, in contrast, are usually private, tentative, and unique. People may have been confused to find the true value of those art works, especially when they come to us in a large abundance. That is why people need critics-experts that are trained to tell us the worth underlying an art work. Further more, there are countless artistic products, with undeniable values, far beyond people's ordinary understanding. Take Classical Modernist painting for instance. The abstract art developed in different ways by Picasso, Kandinsky, and Mattise, presupposes highly developed skills of looking and familiarity with other paintings and history of art. How can a common people, without the mentioned quality, appreciate an abstract painting? Critic helps. A desired critic is supposed to evaluate an art work impartially and serves to educate and inform the public. In some circumstances they just make descriptions or comparisons, in others they may simplify the meaning of particular artistic work to make it comprehensible to people in general. It is under the help of critics that we know some artistic works are far from being nonsense. In this sense, critics also play a significant role as a middleman between the art and their audiences.

However, the influence of critics may not always be positive. While there do exist some critics who write critiques according to their own inclinations, many others write about films, paintings, or music because they are asked to do so by magzines, TV programs, or art institutions. Not given enough time, the latter may give imprecise or even wrong judgments that mislead the art audiences. To artists whose works are being assessed, on the other side, such a hasty and partial comment means loss of shows and other job opportunities.

In conclusion, artists offer the society works with continuous aesthetic value and make a great contribution to harmonize the society. Critics, however, make artistic works comprehensible to the public, although their impacts are negative sometimes. Anyhow, neither of them should be valued with less importance than the other.

Artists, satisfying people's needs that go beyond physical survival, give society something of lasting value. 观点句平铺直述，缺少一点锋芒At the same time, critics make artistic productsproducts用此欠妥。还不如用artistic works accessible and understandable to ordinary people, although这个altho放在此处转折感不够强 critics are not without their faults when giving incorrect judgments.

Artists successfully maintain beauty in various forms and contribute to harmonize the society through art works.

On the other hand, cohesion is rendered to the society by certain kinds of art works. Calligraphy, for example, is considered as an art form in China and 这两句话用一个and连成并列举不舒服。直接caligraphy, for example, is considered as an important source of cultural identification and unity in China. 就可以了the Chinese view it an important source of cultural identification and unity. Confrontingconfront虽然可以表示面对，但里面有一种冲突的含义。就算looking at, staing at这种俗词效果也比confronting好。而且confron如果作为vt的话谁是宾语你也搞错了，起码也应该是Being confronted with the a吧masterpiece from a calligrapher, a Chinese usually has an intense feeling of a membership of his or her own society, as distinct form part of another.

As is known to all, artistic works, in forms of paintings, music, sculptures, etc, are very different from scientific theories, which tolerate no difference and sometimes can be evaluated objectively by people in general. Artistic products, in contrast, 此处转折则有点问题。前一句的主句其实还是artistic works，scientific theories是在从句中，而且已经被你用are very different from建立了强对比。这里的in contrast型的对比让人觉得多余are usually private, tentative, and unique.

Critic helps. 有一种反驳你的冲动，哈哈。算了，这是issue，不是argument。你能自圆其说就可以A desired critic is supposed to evaluate an art work impartially and serves to educate and inform the public. In some circumstances they just make descriptions or comparisons, in others they may simplify the meaning of particular artistic work to make it comprehensible to people in general. It is under the help of critics that we know some artistic works are far from being nonsense. In this sense, critics also play a significant role as a middleman between the art and their audiences.

In conclusion, artists offer the society works with continuous aesthetic value and make a great contribution to harmonize the society. Critics, however, make artistic works comprehensible to the public, although their impacts are negative sometimes. 照应开头，总结全文，好；句式和开头都差不多，缺少变化和新意，不好。Anyhow, neither of them should be valued with less importance than the other.issue的主题不是在讨论which one is more important，是在讨论which gives the society long lasting value。therefore，你应该对long-lasting value有回应。这正是你全文总体上的问题。我看完文章觉得你的立场还是没有明确表出来。你在谈critics的时候只字不提value，更不用说long-lasting，讲的都是function。你到底在这个论点上倾向那一边？如果你倾向artist，那一定要着力反驳critics的function有long-lasting value。如果你中立，那么你要说清楚为什么critics做的事情也是有long-lasting 的value的
