TALENT






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.





Some people believe that people have their own talents when they were born. However, it is my contention that all people have the chance to obtain their talents if they try hard enough.

It has been argued that people get their talents because they inherit the talents from their parents. For example, children whose mother and father have music talents, will get those talents from their parents. However, even though the children have that talent from their talents, the talent will not be maximized if they not practice to improve their talent. As a result, the children may not become famous musicians like their parents.

Moreover, another argument supporting the belief that people get their talent when they are born is the fact that many famous people who are expert in sport and music were born to parents who have the same talent. However, there are also many athletes and musicians who were born from parents who do not have the same talent. For example, Krisdayanti, a famous female singer in Indonesia. In addition, some famous athletes and musicians started their career without any talent related to their job. Therefore, they achieved their high level of expertise by attending routine training and working hard to improve their skills.

In conclusion, all people have the opportunity to become successful athletes and musicians, even though they do not have a special talent in that area. They can acquire a high level of expertise, if they make a serious effort to improve their skills ability. (RO)

ADVERTISEMENTS OF JUNKFOOD







In some societies, obesity is regarded as a major problem. Some people believe that junk food advertising is largely to blame for this problem and should be banned.
However, others feel that junk food advertising does not contribute to the problem of obesity and should not be banned.
Discuss both these views and give your opinion.




These days, obesity has become a serious problem in many countries. There are several factors which have been identified as causes of obesity. One of them is because of food, especially junk food. Some people say that the advertisements for junk food have an impact on people desire to buy it. However, it is my contention that people’s lack of knowledge about the negative impacts of junk food is the main cause of obesity, so junk food advertisements do not need to be banned.

It has been argued that the interesting junk food advertisements on television attract people to buy this kind of food especially kids. This happens because the advertisements usually appear on TV during the time that kids watch TV. After they watch the advertisements, they will ask their parents to buy the food. Besides that, the advertisements show how delicious the food is, and how the people on advertisement feel so happy after eating that kind of food. As a result, some people argue that it will make many people want to buy junk food. Therefore, it is important to prohibit advertising of junk food.

Other people argue that the advertisements for junk food are not the main cause of obesity, so they should not be banned. Even though there are many junk food advertisements in the media, people do not always buy junk food if they have knowledge about the negative impacts of eating junk food every day. Therefore, it would be more effective or beneficial if the government organized a campaign to socialize the negative effects of consuming too much junk food. If people had more information about healthy lifestyles and healthy food choices as well as the negative impacts of consuming fast food on a regular basis, it is hoped that people would pay more attention to their nutrition and limit their intake of unhealthy food.

In conclusion, it is better for the government to organize a campaign on healthy eating habits rather than banning fast food advertisements. (RO)
