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 argue that when individuals have innate

talents

since they were born

while

others believe that people can learn certain

talents

and become expert in it.

Although

it is not uncommon that in a family, the members have the same skills as their parents,

this

essay believes that anyone can be taught to be an excellent artist or athlete since they receive guidance from a young

age

. On the one hand, folks believe that talented individuals are born with certain aptitudes because they may inherit them from their parents.

This

is because it is a common phenomenon when a father or mother shows excellent

talents

and their

son

or daughter may have the same aptitudes.

For example

, a well-known painter, Picasso, who has many famous painting pieces, had a

son

who followed their path as a painter. His

son

also

had breathtaking artworks that were acknowledged by the world. People believe that the

son

inherited the ability and the sense of art from his father.

However

,

this

essay thinks that

this

idea could be misinterpreted because the

son

probably had an incessant exposure to the art world because of his father and through

this

process, he grew an interest and decided to pursue it.

On the other hand

, the remaining believe that any kids can learn and master

talents

as long as they persistently learn them and get professional guidance.

This

is because, at an early

age

, children’s brains are like sponges that can absorb knowledge, including new skills. Having professional tutors helps them to expedite their mastery. They can point out where to improve,

therefore

the learning process becomes more efficient.

For instance

, research shows that adults who possess impressive aptitudes, the majority of them started their training at a young

age

.

This

essay thinks that any talent can be learned as long as folks want to pour their effort into it. In conclusion, even though having skills that you are good at is believed as the apple falls near the tree, putting effort into learning something at a young

age

will create talented adults because at an early

age

children’s brains have a higher ability to absorb new things.
