Discuass the natural talents and nurture training The relative importance of natural talents and nurture training is a hot issue and has ignited a public debate about whether natural or nurture is more significant in areas, for example, such as sport and music.

It seems stand to reasons, a young man, for instance, who is only 16 years old but has a height of 190cm inherited from his parents is supposed to play basketball without doubt. Furthermore, with well training, he is capable of outstanding achievement in basketball, while those hard-working players could hardly reach a comparable level without enough height.

Discuass the natural talents and nurture training

The relative importance of natural talents and nurture training is a hot issue and has ignited a public debate about whether natural or nurture is more significant in areas, for example, such as sport and music.

It <strike>seems</strike> stand to reasons that a young man, for instance, who is only 16 years old but has a height of 190cm, inherited from his parents, is supposed to play basketball without a doubt.

However, our education system is based on a belief that all children can be effectively taught to acquire this or that skill. In other words, nurture training is a way to complement the natural deficiency. We often read in news something analogous that a man, who had been failing to attain his goal, now has made his way up to a certain height after years of practicing.

I personally think that some people do have talents that are probably inherited through their genes. Such talents can give individuals a facility for certain skills, but this is not the whole story. A good musician or brilliant sports star has probably succeeded because of both good training and natural talent. Without the training, a man would not know how to develop his talent, and without the natural talent, continual training would be difficult and inefficient.

By and large, I agree that a man can rise by teaching and training, but in areas such as music, art or sport, some natural talent is required.
