Some people think every human being can create art (e.g. painting), others think only the people born with the ability can create art. Discuss both views and give your opinion. 有些人认为任何人都可以学习艺术创造(例如绘画)，有人认为只有具有天赋的人才能学习艺术创造，讨论两种观点，给出你的意见。Topic: 2015.10.31

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. 有人认为只有天生具有一定禀赋的人才能学习音乐或者体育，有人认为任何孩子都可以通过学习成为优秀的运动者或者音乐家，讨论两种观点。

每个孩子都可以学习艺术：

1，教育理念就是任何孩子，无论禀赋如何，都可以通过正确的指导和勤奋的努力学会相关的技能，当然包含艺术技能。

2，对艺术的兴趣是可以被培养的，艺术的天赋潜能是可以被开发的，因此，任何的孩子都可能精通于艺术。

3，为了达到最有效的艺术学习，可以帮助所有儿童确定他们的学习方式坚持努力。

不是每个孩子都可以学习艺术：

1，如果想在某一个艺术领域取得非凡的成就，天生的禀赋通常具有决定性的意义。

2，不是人人都对于艺术敏感和感兴趣，而且艺术学习的过程十分艰辛，不是每个人都可以坚持下来的。

开头段：介绍文章背景，智力较高的儿童和能力一般或是年龄更大的儿童的思维方式看上去存在着质的差异，在某些特定领域还是需要天赋才能脱颖而出。

It is widely accepted that there appears to be a qualitative difference in the way the intellectual highly able think, compared with more average-ability or older pupils.（原文化用在这里）Great achievement can be made via tenacious endeavors to some extent, however, in some special fields such as music, literature and art creation, one needs unique flair to stand out in a crowd.

第二段：论证每个孩子都是可以学习艺术的，预判一个孩子未来的发展是不明智的做法，毕竟兴趣是可以开发的，潜能是可以激发的。为了达到最有效的艺术学习，可以帮助所有儿童确定他们的学习方式，包括规划，监督，评估的策略以及选择学什么。情绪意识同样是艺术学习的一部分，因此应当帮助儿童意识到自己对即将学习的内容的感受，例如感到好奇或自信。

Many arguments can be explored to justify the belief that everyone can be taught to acquire skills associated with art. It is unwise to prejudge one's learning potential because one can still excel in any fields as long as he never lacks self-improvement and utilizes right methods. After all, one's interest can be ignited and one's potential can be developed. To be at their most effective in their learning art, all children can be helped to identify their own ways of learning, which will include strategies of planning, monitoring, evaluation and choice of what to learn. Emotional awareness is also part of learning, so children should be helped to be aware of their feelings around the artistic area to be learned, feelings of curiosity or confidence.（原文稍作修改，用在这里）

第三段：论证只有艺术天赋的孩子才可以学习艺术。现实生活中的一些例子可以证明很多在艺术方面有成就的人确实有属于自己的天赋。而且，艺术学习的过程十分艰辛，不是每个人都可以坚持下来的。

However, an opinion held by some people remains that genius cannot be cultivated, especially for art creation. Indeed, some examples can prove that those who are well versed in writing, drawing or music usually own extraordinary gifts. Thus, innate talents sometimes have a decisive role in one's efforts. Furthermore, some people might contend that art learning is not universally appealing to everyone, meanwhile, the process of art acquisition can be time-consuming and energy-consuming, thus, one might feel frustrated and unmotivated if he or she fails to excel in art after constant efforts.

第四段：论证除了天赋以外，还有其他一些因素对艺术成功起到重要作用。

Undeniably, artistic progress is not all about inborn talent and artistic nurture, knowledge is also vital to outstanding performance: individuals who know a great deal about a specific domain will achieve at a higher level than those who do not. Characteristics, such as independence, seemed to contribute more to reaching the highest levels of expertise than intellectual skills, due to the great demands of effort and time needed for art practice. Creativity in all forms can be seen as expertise mixed with a high level of motivation. Positive emotions can also facilitate the creative aspects of art learning and negative emotions inhibit it. Fear, for example, can limit the development of curiosity, which is a strong force in scientific advance, because it motivates problem-solving behavior. （原文稍作修改，用在这里）

结尾段：再次重申观点，为了在任一领域达到非常高的水准，高能力的儿童需要学习方法，这包括用来学习的材料和专注有挑战的指导，以及对他们追逐梦想的鼓励。

In conclusion, I restate my conviction that nobody is born to be a natural artist. Excellence does not emerge without appropriate help. To reach an exceptionally high standard in any area, able children also need the means to learn, which includes material to work with and focused challenging tuition and the encouragement to follow their dream. （原文用在这里）
