Some people think that to be successful in sports natural ability is the main important reason others think that hard work and practice is more important Discuss both views with opinion

#people #sports #ability #reason #work #practice
Although
 It is believed by some that natural skills is all it takes to achieve
success
 in sporting activities, others think that being hardworking and practising non- stop are more paramount. In my opinion, I believe that hard
work
 and resilience are the major keys to achieving
success
. On the one hand, it is believed by many that having a
talent
 is all it takes to be successful in a sport because a talented person has more advantage of achieving his goals than someone who is not a natural.
In other words
, an individual talented in playing a game like football or golf does not need to spend rigorous hours in training because as a natural he can easily master the skills,
as a result
 of
this
, he will attain a higher performance level than his teammates.
Furthermore
, it is
also
 believed that having a natural
talent
 is an essential ingredient for a top performer as scouts who aim to recruit children would rather go for the ones with inborn abilities because they believe that without it one cannot go far in his career.
Also
, children with natural talents can easily build up their self-confidence and become more prominent than other people when they reach adulthood.
On the other hand
, supporters of
this
 view believe that working hard and practising regularly is the most important key to achieving
success
 and I agree.
This
 is because regardless of being a natural if an individual does not show tenacity and desire he will not reach the top of the ladder in his chosen sport. What's more,
although
talent
 can be seen as the fuel that will kick start a successful career, but without persistent hard
work
 and undying passion for one's craft
talent
 will die.
For instance
, according to the recent survey carried out by the National Sport Federation, it has been reported that a higher percentage of footballers who worked hard and practised on a regular basis were more successful than the players with natural
talent
 who believed there was no need to practice,
consequently
, re-emphasizing the need of hard
work
 and resilience. In conclusion, while people's opinion may vary opinions, I believe that the key to
success
 in any sport is hard
work
 irrespective of being a natural.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
