I personally think that some people do have talents that are probably①inherited②via their genes.③Such talents can④give individuals a facility for certain skills that allow them to excel, while more hard-working students never manage to reach a⑤comparable level. But, as with all questions of nature versus nurture, they are not⑥mutually exclusive. Good musicians or artists and⑦exceptional sports stars have probably succeeded because of both good training and natural talent.⑧Without thenatural 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.
9）两个观点都是部分正确Both sides are partly right.
10)细看一下这个说法，并不是那么有道理This statement is less self-evident than it first appears.
模板：
开头段：
_____ now plays such an important role in so many people's livesthat it is essential for us to try to decide whether it is a blessing or a curse. People's opinions are divergent on such a complex and controversial topic. Advocates maintain that _____. Opponents, on the other hand, contend (argue/insist) that _____. Obviously, both sides have over-simplified this issue. Actually, its value to people and society depends on how it is used.
2、讨论类的作文里可以找到相对立的两个方面（同意/不同意；观点一/观点二；优点/缺点）。在下笔前，需要确定自己所倾向的观点是什么。对于雅思写作，不需要过多的追求新颖独特，言之有理即可。这意味着我们可以站在赢的一方去写：
比如，讨论online?shopping好还是去shopping?mall好的一个问题
①首段背景介绍；
②relative importance, 相对重要性，是一种非常地道的表达方式；
③frequent比起popular，是一个更为学术的词汇；
①Obviously, education systems②are based on the belief③that all children can effectively be taught to④acquire different skills,⑤including those⑥associated with sport, art or music. So from our own school experience, we can find⑦plenty of evidence to support the view⑧that a child can acquire these skills with continued teaching and guided practice.
有同学说：当然是传统的购物方式好，论据是在shopping?mall里可以看到具体货品，质量更可靠。而提到online?shopping的好处时：购买方便（省时，省力）货品便宜、选择多样等。
既然这样，我们就要考虑一下，是不是站到shopping?online更好这一面去写更容易写呢？
3.常用句型及模板：
8定语从句。
①However, some people believe that②innate talent is③what④differentiates a person who has been trained to play a sport or an instrument, from those who become good players.⑤In other words,⑥there is more to the skill than a learned technique, andthis⑦extra talent cannot be taught, no matter how good the teacher or how frequently a child practices.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
You should write at least 250 words.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
1However表转折，连接上下文；
2Innate talent，固定搭配，与生俱来的天赋；
3表语从句；
4Differentia解释说明的表达方法, in other words；
6There be句型，雅思大作文要活用there be 句型；
7Extra talent，地道用法。
正文段一：
Those advocates who maintain that_____ tend to present following reasons..
正文段二：
However, opponents may examine this issue in another angle. For one thing, another, , ____.
从结构上来看：这篇文章的题型是Discuss，因此文章可以分为三个部分：首段引入话题，正文第一段讨论第一种说法，正文第二段讨论第二种说法，结尾段表达并总结自己的观点。
2.范文分析
①The②relative importance of natural talent and training isa③frequent topic of discussion when people try to explain different levels of ability in,for example, sport, art or music.
1.题目分析
题目意思：人们普遍认为，有些人天生就具有一定的天赋，例如在体育或音乐领域拥有他人所没有的才能。然而，有的人认为通过教育任何孩子都能成为一个优秀的运动员或音乐家。讨论上述两种观点并给出你自己的意见。
审题关键：首先，要确定本题涉及的领域是教育；其次，双方意见的争论点是——先天才能还是后天教育；最后，考生看到先天还是后天的时候不要想当然的因为是旧题，本题还是侧重在音乐或者体育领域。

一、分析雅思写作——Discuss类理论
1.题目特点及解题思路
1）题目特点：
Discussthese two points of view and give your opinion.
2）解题思路：
这种题型可参考以下两种写法：
A.一边倒：作者明确表明赞同一方观点并进行论证支持
B.两方面：作者对观点从两方面进行阐述
常用句型：
1）对于…这一观点，我表示支持I subscribe to / am favor of an opinion that …
2）关于…研究得最多的话题对…造成了影响The most studied issue that… has been the impact of … on…
3）大多数人普遍接受… It is widely accepted by most that…
正文第一段主题句：雅思大作文写作的正文部分每段必须有主题句，即分论点；
1Obviously用在段首，承上启下；
2Be based on, 词组的用法；
3定语从句；
4学到技能，用acquire；
5Including的用法；
6Associated with，词组，与……相关的意思；
7Plenty of，用以替代many，a lot of等口语化的词或词组；
结尾段：
In any case, whether the ultimate effect of _____ is beneficial or detrimental, one thing is certain that _____ in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society. (Weighing the two sides, both arguments seem to be reasonable, after all.)
4）不用说… It goes without saying… Needless to say, it is…
