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.

Whether being born in natural talents or training is more important in

sport

or

music

remains controversial. Some people think that there are some children who are born with certain talents while others argue that children can study hard daily to have professional skills in

sport

or

music

. In

this

essay, I will discuss both opinions and provide my view on

this

problem.

First

, there is no doubt that education systems are based on the belief that all children can study effectively to acquire different skills, including those associated with

sport

and

music

. That explains why all schools have guide practice and teaching classes, and parents send their kids to

music

classes or sports clubs at a very young age.

However

, some people claim that being good at

sport

or

music

cannot be obtained by training, no matter how good the teachers or how frequently a child practices. They maintain that if

sport

and

music

skills can be studied by only training, all people in the world will be able to play

sport

or an instrument professionally.

Besides

, according to a survey, there are only one over ten people who can play an instrument

such

as piano or guitar

although

they have tried to study for at least five years. I, personally, think that one person will succeed if she or he is laborious and persistence.

On the other hand

, talents can give individuals a facility for specific skills that allow them to excel, while more hard-working people never manage to reach a comparable level.

However

, as will all questions of nature versus nurture, they are not manually exclusive. Good musicians or exceptional sports stars have probably succeeded because of both natural talents and functional training. Without talents, training would be neither effective nor productive; and

also

with training, children can not know how to develop their talents. To sum up, I agree that children can be taught particular skills, but to be professional in some areas like athletics or

music

, they need some natural talents.
