问题     When people try to express their views on the importance of gifts, some might say that those without talent should not be supposed to learn a foreign language. What do you think? Write a composition in NO LESS THAN 200 words on the following topic:
    Is Talent an Important Factor in Learning a Foreign Language?
    You are to write in three parts.
    In the first part, state specifically what your opinion is.
    In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your opinion.
    In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.
    Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

答案     Is Talent an Important Factor in Learning a Foreign Language?
    "Genius is 1% talent and 99% hard work." The saying eloquently points out that the importance of diligence outweighs that of talent. In learning a foreign language, I think it is still true: talent is less important than hard work.
    Hard work keeps us on the ground, while talent tends to make us self-satisfied and lazy. To master a foreign language, we need to have sufficient exposure to the language, which means hours and hours of effort put into it. We might listen to 10,000 hours of materials until we have no difficulty in communicating with a native speaker. We might read extensively before we are able to read native newspapers with ease "Practice makes perfect" This aged-old saying is particularly true in learning a foreign language. Talented people may be less inclined to sharpen their linguistic skills in a hardheaded manner. They would presume that they will get the same result with half of the effort, so they spend less time in reading and listening. At the first stage, probably talent could help them memorize a word or mimic a native pronunciation much quicker than the less talented people. But ultimately, their tricks will run out of effect, because hard effort cannot be replaced by mere talent.
    In conclusion, the best scenario is to have both talent and hard work. If not, we should work harder. As Thomas Edison said, "There is no substitute for hard work".
解析     本题属于“立场选择型”作文，涉及的题材是“文化教育”。该题要求考生对“天赋是否是学习外语的一个重要因素”提出个人的意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下：
    第一段：从爱因斯坦的名言入题，指出学习一门外语，努力比天赋更重要。
    第二段：阐述原因。努力可以让我们脚踏实地，而天赋会让我们变得沾沾自喜而且懒惰。有天赋的人以为自己能事半功倍，因此他们花较少的时间去读、去听。但是天赋是无法取代努力的。
    第三段：引用爱迪生的话重申观点——“努力无可替代”。
