尽管不会再考雅思真题的题目，但这却是考鸭们复习一定要具备的材料，这是相当具有参考价值的。
双边类大作文，社会类话题
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.
题目大意
人们普遍认为，有些人天生就有某些天赋例如体育或音乐天赋，而另一些人则没有。然而，有人认为任何孩子都可以被教育成为一名优秀的体育运动员或音乐家。讨论双方观点并给出自己的观点。
思路解析
这是一道双边类大作文，讨论的是诸如体育和音乐是先天天赋还是后天培养的问题。双边类的题目，需要对每个观点分别表达同意或反对，最终的结论就是我的立场，可以是中立(双方都同意或都反对)，也可以是单边支持某一方立场。审题时需要注意题目中的限定范围，“talent”是针对体育和音乐的，因此要围绕着这两点展开。
首先来看前者观点，我们无法否认有些人确实存在天赋，比如在没有训练的情况下即能辨别音高(pitch)，或是天生拥有极好的身体柔韧度和协调性。这些天赋能够让他们在体育运动或音乐领域中产生巨大的优势，别人需要花费大量时间和精力通过努力训练才能获得的成就他们可能轻松就能取得。
然后再来看后者观点。一方面，从教育理念上来说，当方法科学合理时每个孩子都有机会去熟练掌握一项技能，且只要孩子愿意投入大量时间和精力去训练提升，其终究能成为一个不错的运动员或音乐家。另一方面，每一个顶尖的运动员和音乐家往往是天赋和训练结合后的产物，充分的训练使得他们的天赋不被浪费并能充分发挥出来，而天赋又促使他们的训练能够更加高效，且超越其他竞争者，毕竟当大家同样努力刻苦后，比拼的就是天赋的差距。
提纲
高分范文示例
Obviously, 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 a child can acquire these skills with continued teaching and guided practice.
However, 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, 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. |
