Hi everyone,
It's great to know of this amazing site:-D. I know what you are doing here is just voluntary but if possible, it would be great to help me improve my writing. I am about to take the exam in 1 month, so all ideas are welcome:-D.
This is the topic from the Cambridge IELTS 7, Test 1.
It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance for sport or music, and others are not. However, it is sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to become a good sports person or musician.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Give reason for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Here is my answer
These days, there are many musicians or athletes famous for their excellent performance. While it is often argued that these people need to possess inborn skills in order to reach such levels, some may claim that anyone can be good at music or sports through teaching.
It is clear that some people are born with certain abilities, but research has shown that hard work and perseverance play an even more important role. For instance, a lot of great athletes worldwide need guidance and help from their coaches so as to unleash their full potential when competing. Moreover, no one is born with a large amount of strength, agility or endurance. These attributes can only be developed through dedicated training and correct methods with strict disciplines. One practical example is Lance Armstrong, who is well known by winning the Tour De France seven times consecutively, albeit his cancer.
Having said that, innate prowess is a major factor as well. This is because these people seem to have a better understanding than a normal person and therefore can progress faster in their fields than others. For example, Mozart was famed for his musical skills when he was only a child. Furthermore, people born with talents are often more creative and they can produce spectacular performance. As a matter of fact, a number of innovative inventions are the work of people who can think differently.
To conclude, although some great people are born with specific talents, education and persistence in working is also essential. In my view, almost everyone can become good at something if they are well-educated and hard-working.
