Writing Feedback / IELTS: born with certain talents or not?; professional football player [3]

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 children can be taught to become a good sports person or musician.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
It is true that some people have naturel capability such as sporting or playing musical instruments, and others do not have. While it is debated that anyone can learn to be a professional sportsmen or a good musician, I believe that not all individuals are able to do well like talented people.

On the one hand, in my opinion, people can acquire any fields if they have talent. In other word, naturel talented people can progress quickly and get improvements, in the way if they encourage their ability though training. For example, sport master such as Messi, who I have watched his biography film, has great talent of controlling a ball and he has been working on his talent since his childhood. Therefore, now he is a professional football player, as everybody knows. However, if he does not have talent of managing the ball, he could not be a good player.

On the other hand, in fact, some people are not born with certain capability, but they can learn different subjects and become a scientist. The acquisition of knowledge is easier and more affective for them and this may lead not to be necessary being talented for them because they do not need capacity in order to gain knowledge and learn the subjects. For example, early childhood of my uncle had no ability to do something, but he was interested in education, particularly at math. During the growing up, he studied school and higher education and become the accountant of a bank in my country.

In conclusion, being talented is good if people afford to use it in right way. However, I believe that it is unnecessary to people are taught to become a sportsmen or musician, although they do not have natural talent.

The map shows two potential locations (B and A) for a new shopping center and main transport routes in a town.

Looking at the information in more detail, shopping center B is in the countryside to the northwest of the town, but it is close to the residential area of the town. Shopping center A is planned to establish in the central business district where no traffic.

There are main roads from 12 km, 15 km and 25 km beyond to the town center, but this is a no traffic zone, so there would be no access to the location A by car. By contrast, the location A lies on both the main road and the railway to next town 15 km away, but it would be more difficult to reach from two other towns. Both shopping center sites are close to the railway that runs through the city center from the southeast to the northwest.
