Question: ls talent important in sports?
Idea 1
Yes
Model Answer
Yes, I believe natural ability matters if you want to play sports well. For example, if you're not naturally good at running, it will be hard to do well in most sports, no matter how much you train. Professional athletes all have a natural physique and talent for their sport. But, in school PE, natural ability isn't that important. It’s more about teamwork and helping each other than winning.
Idea 2
No
Model Answer
I don't think talent is the be-all and end-all in sports. Basically, anyone can learn and improve in any sport with enough practice and determination. It's not just about being naturally good at it. The real joy of sports comes from participating, having fun, and the personal satisfaction it brings, whether you're the best or not. So, the emphasis should be on the enjoyment and personal development, rather than innate talent.
