Speaking exercise

They didn’t tell me about the high English level requirement. Even though my English is not very good/fluent, I passed the interview after a month or two. But they ask every interviewee to pass the English degree which is almost as hard as getting an IELTS 7.5. I already passed it, so I don’t need to take the English test again. This course is for professional people. Some student are artists, and some are university professors. For my profession, I am also confused because I don’t know how to balance the concept of art and the concept of management. I think art is so pure, but if you want to survive in the market, you must combine it with the market. This is my reason of joining this course. But after my classes from QH or ESCP professors, I don’t think they can answer my question.  Art is subjective; everyone understands it in different ways.
