假如你是李华，你的笔友李佳最近乔迁新居，他想买几幅西方绘画装饰居室，最近用英语写信询问是选择中世纪的画还是具有现代艺术风格的画。请你根据下面的文字提示用英语给他写一封回信。

建议选具有现代艺术风格的绘画。因为，中世纪的画，作者的主要目的是表现宗教的主题，画家们对真实的表现自然和人物不感兴趣。而现代绘画鼓励艺术家们以全新的方式看待周围的环境。一方面, 有些现代艺术画是抽象的. 作者集中展现物体的某些特征,而另一方面.有些绘画却是那么写照, 看上去就像是照片

参考词汇:  the Middle Ages, certain qualities of the object. themes, concentrate on

写作要求:

用5个句子表达全部内容。.(信的开头和结尾已经给出,不计入总句数)

Laziness is the 40 of time, for it not only brings us 41 , but also does other 42 to us. If it is necessary for us to do our work today, 43 we do it today and not 44 it until tomorrow. Remember that time is much more 45.
