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.

×觀點比較選擇類的題目， 題幹中有兩個觀點 ：
觀點一：先天具備
觀點二：後天養成
比較兩個觀點並且給出自己的看法，則應該給出兩個觀點的合理之處，比較之後在進行自己的選擇表態
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.
The 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, sport, art or music.（開頭段落描述題幹所討論問題的普遍性。開頭句式簡短，不冗贅，一個復合句搞定。插入語的使用避免了題幹的機械性重復， 同時保證了句子的連續性）
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. （－ly副詞開頭主題段落一肯定第一個觀點，表示作者本身的態度）（從句和被動語態的使用）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.（模糊例證，支持上一句中的觀點。從句的使用。連接詞 so 的使用）
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. （轉折詞however,承接上文，引出第二個觀點的支持論證）（詞匯方面，innate, differentiate）（語法方面，完整復合句的使用）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.（對於觀點二的支持解釋）（連詞in other words的使用）
I personally think that some people do have talents that are probably inherited via their genes. （表達自己對觀點一的部分支持）（詞匯方面， inherit）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.（解釋論證，比較反差）（詞匯方面，excel, comparable level） （結構方面，連接詞 such 的使用）But, as with all questions of nature versus nurture, they are not mutually exclusive. （轉折詞but引出作者的觀點：兼收並取）（詞匯方面，nature versus nurture, mutually exclusive）Good musicians or artists and exceptional sports stars have probably succeeded because of both good training and natural talent. （用例證進一步解釋“兼收並取”）（詞匯,exceptional）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（假設例證支持自己觀點。排比雙重否定句強調肯定效果）.（詞匯方面，continuous, exploit）
In conclusion, I agree that any child can be taught particular skills, but to be really good in areas such as music, art or sport, then some natural talent is required. （個人表態支持兩個觀點的結合。插入語的使用。）
整體結構：
第一段（一句）題幹是大家長討論的話題
第二段（二句）學校相信觀點一
例證支持觀點一
第三段（二句）轉折某些人支持觀點二
解釋論證觀點二
第四段（五句）個人部分同意觀點一
解釋支持自己的立場
個人更同意兼收並取
解釋支持“兼收並取”的立場
假設例證支持自己觀點
第五段（一句）個人表態，觀點一合理，觀點二也合理。
根據雅思寫作的評分標準四要素來分析的話：
1. 任務完成度：強調了觀點比較選擇類兩個觀點都要提到，並且論點要展開論證。體現了選擇類題目可以選其一或兩者都選。
2. 文章連貫流利性：強調了文章 總分總和轉折段落結構。強調了小連詞的使用和ly副詞的使用來表達作者態度的流動性
3. 詞匯 ：復雜詞匯的出現並沒有很高的要求，且數量較少。重點在於用的“準”而不在於用的“狠” （例如 innate, nature versus nurture, exclusive等）
4. 語法：大都是從句，但是難度並沒有很大。而且因為寫作內容略過了論證或舉例的細節，所以句子都比較general,這樣可以避免出現思路太糾結從而導致語法錯誤。正確率是重點。
作為 very good answer的例子， 這篇範文能夠告訴我們的是我們到底需要什麽級數的句式和詞匯才能夠到達7分以上。實例告訴我們：
詞不在大，用準則靈
句不在長，流暢則行
