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.

It is undeniable that many people have been born with a
gift
of talents in
sports
and music.
However
, there are many who believe that even kids are not born with the
gift
, they can still be excellent
sports
players or outstanding musicians by teaching them or making them
practice
harder than the
one
who has the
gift
. The following paragraph will be discussing both opinions.
Therefore
, the conclusion and my perspective have been reached. On the
one
hand, those who believe that born with the
gift
can become a good player or an excellent
musician
might have an idea that
this
group of people have a high potential to be that thing with a small
practice
,
other
Change the wording
another

word is they are born to be that thing.
For example
, Leonel Messi, a football player, which have a
gift
since he was born with little training and fortune, he becomes
one
of the famous players in the history of football.
On the other hand
, those who claimed that any kid can become a good
sports
player or an outstanding
musician
might have an idea that even kids are not born with the
gift
but they can
practice
harder and can be taught to be good
sports
players and an excellent
musician
.
For instance
, Mozart, a
musician
and pianist, practised the piano and wrote songs until he made many classic songs in our world history. In conclusion, the former and latter paragraphs are both views in both groups.
However
, I believe that the
gift
without training or
practice
might be not good as the
one
who practices harder even, they do not bear with the
gift
.
