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.
Some
people
argue that talented individuals are born this
way and it can not be taught while others claim that any person
can become good at sport or music if someone teaches him or her at an early age.
There are certain physical conditions
that favour an ability , for example
, tall people
are usually better at some sports such
as basketball. Therefore
, if this
condition is in the person
's genes, it can not be learnt. This
is the main argument for believing that talent
is something you are born with. Nevertheless
, having those conditions
is not enough and to become a talented individual, he or she would have to learn and practice that ability. After all, not every tall person
is good at basketball. Additionally
, if genetics were extremely important it would be much more common for children of talented people
to inherit the same talent
.
There is a psychologist that decided to teach his future children to play chess to prove that talent
is learnt. He had never played chess before so he started practising and then
taught it to his 3 daughters. All of them were among the best female chess players of their age. The psychologist wrote a book telling his experience. This
is considered the main prove
that anyone can excel in anything if he or she practices enough. Replace the word
proof
However
, it is also
known that many people
tried very hard to become good at something without success. For instance
, there are many actors that went to places such
as Hollywood and even though they studied and practised acting they never achieved their dream of becoming a film star
.
To conclude, there are several factors that influence Fix the agreement mistake
stars
talent
like physical conditions
and the time spent practising and learning something. In my opinion, neither view can explain completely how a person
can become good at something and that is
probably because both of them are necessary conditions
to achieve it.Submitted by ignaciogigli on
