It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance 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.

Some people claim that some people are naturally endowed with gifts, while others are not.
Also
, some people are of the opinion that any
child
could be trained
be
Suggestion
to be
good at these activities. Personally, I believe that with hard work and determination, irrespective of one's talent, any
child
could learn to be good at playing some musical instrument or playing sports. On one hand, some people believe that talent is inborn. One of the reasons for
this
line of thought could be because of their religious beliefs. In some religions, talents are thought to come naturally to specific children from a higher supernatural being. Another reason is because some children play musical instruments, and perform very well at sports at a high level which would not have been possible without some form of training.
In addition
, some children are more physically fit than others, due to their natural build.
For example
, children who are tall, usually outperform shorter ones in the game of basketball.
On the other hand
, I believe that children could be taught to be good at music and become excellent in any sport. With consistency and hard work, children can even be better than children who are claimed to be naturally gifted.
This
is because a
child
's mind is still very keen on learning new things and can grasp new skills easily. Some of the world's best musicians and athletes were not naturally gifted when they were younger.
For example
, Christiano Ronaldo, who is one of the world's best footballers was not very talented when he was a
child
. He,
however
, got better and became the best due to rigorous training routines, dedication and hard work. In conclusion, while it is true that some children are naturally talented at music and sports, I
however
, feel that any
child
could be trained to become even better than children born with talent.

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
