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.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your
own knowledge or experience.
The question of whether or not the ability in sport or music is mostly innate rises
heated debates. From my point of view, although talents play an essential role,
children could become a successful athlete or musician through adequate training
and practice.
First of all, talents have a significant contribution to people in the fields of music
and sport. The most striking reason is that children are born with special abilities
to own a stronger starting point in comparison with others to develop their
capacity. Specifically, they can learn new knowledge faster as well as make
impressive performances at a young age, which allows them to climb faster on
their career ladder. The second reason comes from an undeniable fact that sport or
music requires several distinctive abilities to succeed. For instance, a good
musician desires for sensitive ears to feel the rhythm, while only people who have
good health or strong endurance could become competitive athletes. Without these
significant abilities, people may not reach their highest potential even when they
spend much effort to practice hard.
Despite all the advantages/benefits of inborn talents, practicing and training can
still contribute to one’s success as athletes or musicians. Firstly, a talented person
will lose their advantages without practicing, thus will lag behind compared to
other hard-working people. Talents can provide a good base but not the
confirmation of a bright future, especially in the field of art or sport. Secondly,
despite the obstacles of lacking talents, people could learn and practice
intensively in a logical schedule to become a master in any categories. One of the
best examples of the advantages of working hard is Cristiano Ronaldo, a world-
class footballer, who gained a variety of trophies in soccer leagues. He is known
as the one who practices more frequently than any other soccer players, which
allows him to have the strength as well as the unique skills to achieve the victory.

Overall, though innate talents are significant, training and practicing also make the
differences and create the success of outstanding musicians and sports people.
