Pregunta: Do you think children are born smart or they learn to become smart?

Análisis

When answering this question, you can discuss both nature and nurture. Some people believe that intelligence is partly inherited, meaning children are born with certain abilities. However, many also think that environment, education, and experiences play a huge role in developing intelligence. You can mention that most experts agree it’s a mix of both – genetics and learning from life. Giving examples, like how kids can improve their skills through practice and education, can make your answer stronger.
