Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

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.
It is the view of some people that individuals who have talents in certain 
areas such as sports or music are born with it, while others believe that a 
child can learn to be good at these skills. Although, it is true that people 
are talented in these fields because they can achieve great feats with no

training or with minimal effort, I believe that any child can learn to become 
good at certain skills if they work hard. 
People who are naturally talented at sports or music can perform 
excellently well in these areas without training. Some people who 
perform very well in sports or music do not need to learn or practice to 
become proficient at these skills because it comes naturally to them, 
unlike others who have to train for a long time to reach the same level. For 
example, Michael Jackson, a musical legend, is widely known to be 
talented in singing and dancing because he displayed these skills from 
childhood without training. However, I believe that even those who are 
talented in certain fields need to learn and practice in other to perform at 
maximum capacity. 
Children can be taught to become good sportsmen and women and 
outstanding musicians if they work hard at it. It is possible to teach 
someone different skills, especially a young child, because they learn 
faster and with practice they too can become very good in music and 
sports. For example, Dwayne Johnson, popularly known as the rock, was 
taught how to wrestle from an early age and now holds many wrestling 
titles. For this reason, I believe that children can be learn to be good at 
these skills by working hard even if they were not born with such talents. 
In conclusion, even though some people can perform well in sports or 
music because they are talented, I believe that young people who are not 
talented can learn to be skilled at sports or music if they work hard.
