TEST TWO

It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance sports 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.

A basic consideration to judge whether a person can be a Michael Jordan or Mozart is whether he acquires specific attributes, for example, whether he has the strong visual spatial intelligence to judge direction before scoring or the extraordinary capability of composing a symphony by arranging musical notes agilely.

However, the consideration is not a must for those people opining that all the toddlers or teenagers, regardless of their intrinsically gifts, can be taught to pick up the professions of sports and music as their lifetime careers.

Personally, I believe that all the people, possessing our respective and incomparable assets, like the long arms of Rafael Nadal or the awe-inspiring voice of Fergie, are born most suitably for merely defined occupations. In other words, a renowned tennis player like Nadal has few chances to accomplish the achievement of Fergie as a singer, and vice versa. Nonetheless, it must be admitted that the generality of persons are equally praiseworthy in dealing with the missions like playing tennis or singing as pastime, if they are appraised as amateurs, rather than masters. Whereas, when it comes to winning the championship of Australian Open or Grammy Award, it would be different for most of us, no matter how hard we have tried.

First and last, two ultimate yardsticks to measure whether a person is a promising athlete or musician are his nature and the following nurture. Therefore, by no means can all of us be same even if we have withstood the same tough training, considering the discrepancies in inherent abilities. (257)
