劍橋七冊考官高分范文解析

小編： 114 ★ 題目：
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. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.有人天生就有某種天份，比如體育和音樂的天份。但是有人說任何孩子都可能被教成運動員和音樂家。討論兩種觀點？
★ 范文介紹：
This model has been prepared by an examiner as an example of a very good answer. However, please note that this is just one example out of many possible approaches.
★ 頭腦風暴：
這篇文章其實考察的是勤奮和天份哪一個對于成功更加重要。人人都渴望成功，但是一些特殊的領域，像音樂，體育，文學和藝術創造等，杰出的人物多是需要天賦的，喬丹不一定是最勤奮的運動員，但是一定是最有籃球天賦的。莫扎特從三歲時就顯出了非凡的音樂天才，他時常走到鋼琴前面，按著琴鍵細聽，并努力彈出他曾經聽到過的音樂。但是世間畢竟還是凡人為多，我們也常說天道酬勤，勤能補拙，成功是99％的勤奮＋1％的天份。所以支持勤奮明顯是更站得住腳。

★謀篇布局：
Para. 1 背景介紹＋爭議焦點（作者首段沒有提出觀點，自然過渡到了論證的部分，也留下了想象空間，激發讀者興趣的――文無定法）.
Para. 2 反方（支持勤奮）觀點的合理性
Para. 3 正方（支持天份）觀點的合理性
Para. 4 寫作意圖（客觀辯證的讓步正方法觀點的合理性，綜合正反方觀點的合理性提出自己的個性觀點）
Para 5 總結觀點（明確提出支持反方觀點，但是又讓步了一下正方觀點的合理性）
①The relative importance of natural talent and training is a frequent topic of discussion when people try to explain different levels of ability in, for example, （插入語）sport, art or music.
②Obviously, education systems are based on the belief that all children can effectively be taught to acquire different skills, including those associated with sport, art or music. So from our own school experience, we can find plenty of evidence to support the view that（用事實支持論點） a child can acquire these skills with continued teaching and guided practice.
③However, some people believe that innate talent is what differentiates a person who has been trained to play a sport or an instrument, from those who become good players. In other words, （再解釋）there is more to the skill than a learned technique, and this extra talent cannot be taught, no matter how good the teacher or how frequently a child practices.
④ I personally think that（寫作意圖） some people do have talents that are probably inherited via their genes. Such talents can give individuals a facility for certain skills that allow them to excel, while more hard-working students never manage to reach a comparable level. But, as with all questions of nature versus nurture, they are not mutually exclusive. Good musicians or artists and exceptional sports stars have probably succeeded because of both good training and natural talent. Without the natural talent, continuous training would be neither attractive nor productive, and without the training, the child would not learn how to exploit and develop their talent.
⑤In conclusion, I agree that any child can be taught particular skills, （明確支持反方觀點）but to be really good in areas such as music, art or sport, then some natural talent is required.（讓步正方觀點的合理性）
