Hard Work

Vs
Talent
IELTS BAND 9 ESSAY
Some people think that intelligence is innate
while others think that we can improve our
intelligence through learning.

Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

 INTRODUCTION
Some people believe that talent is genetic, some
others feel that it can be achieved through study.

Although there are some living examples showing

that brain power comes from the family,

I personally believe that every human can adapt it by

conscious study and learning.

 PARAGRAPH 1
On the one hand, some argue intelligence is certainly innate.
The main reason is that if parents are talented, in most cases,
children acquire the genes which lead to higher levels of IQ.

For example, the IQ level of Albert Einstein, one of the most

celebrated physicists in the world was very high.
Similarly, his son had a shockingly high level of IQ too.

However, in some cases this not true. We see some parents had
natural talent, but their offsprings were nowhere near to them.

 PARAGRAPH 2
On the other hand, some opine that a person can make himself intelligent
by working hard with dedication.

There are lots of people in the world who didn't show the higher IQ level at
their childhood but became a highly brainy person. Hard work, dedication,
and learning are the building blocks that help people acquire it.

For instance, a bright student can accomplish a complicated task very

quickly. Nevertheless, a dull student can put in more hours of learning to
accomplish the same task too.

Therefore, I personally believe that this viewpoint is credible and realistic.

 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, intelligence is not only inherited,

but can also be improved or acquired through effort and learning.

In my opinion, intelligence can be gained through motivation and learning.
