Having a talent is a key to success (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Many people in the history of humanity have become famous and have reached incredible heights due to innate abilities. This is why some people believe that to be good at something, you should have a natural aptitude for it. Others think only a talent without effort will not bring the desired result. Personally, I support the second opinion.

I believe that achieving any goal is, first of all, the result of hard work. To begin with, many people are born talented, but only those people who continue to develop it and do their best become successful. Secondly, innate abilities may not always be useful for society. For example, the ability to imitate the sounds of a sparrow is quite pointless.

However, there are people who have an opposite opinion.

First of all, great composers and scientists, such as Mozart or Newton, were born with a special interest in their work. Moreover, exhausting work will not help you become a real pianist if your fingers are short and your hearing is poor.

I cannot fully agree with them. No great man could have turned professional if he hadn't trained. Many talented athletes participate in the Olympic Games, but the most persistent of them wins.

All the things considered, both talent and work are important. They should complement each other. Even a person without a natural gift can become a good specialist in any deal.
