问题 Some people hold the opinion that "everyone is born the same, and then as we grow up we ’re taught to behave the way we do ", while others think "we ’re born with different characteristics — it’s in our genes — and these control how we behave in our lives ". Do we, as individuals, behave in a certain way because we were "born that way ", or do we behave that way because our environment "taught" us to behave that way? Write an essay of at least 200 words based on the topic Nature vs Nurture.

答案                            Nature vs Nurture
   The long-running nature versus nurture debate is about whether a man is born who he is or he is taught to behave who he is. While some people believe these personality traits and behaviors have been decided when he was born, I tend to deem that environment and education play more important roles in shaping people’s personalities and behaviors.
   There are two famous people in history — Fang Zhongyong and Mencius, who ended up with greatly different lives. Fang was a child prodigy, who was born in a poor peasant’s family and never accepted education. However, he suddenly wrote beautiful poems at the age of five. His talent was admired by local people, and some people even paid him to write poems. Unfortunately, his father used him to make money, instead of sending him to school to develop his talent. Several years later, he became more and more ordinary, totally losing the gift that he was given by God. Contrary to Fang, Mencius was not so talented when he was born. Luckily, he had a mother who paid great attention to his education. To provide him with a better learning environment, his mother moved for three times, until they finally moved next to a school, where Mencius learned etiquette and knowledge along with the other students. Regardless of days and nights, Mencius studied very hard, accompanied by his mother. And he finally became a Great Scholar known as the Lesser Sage.
   There are numerous Fangs and Menciuses in the past and even in our time. It is impossible for us to choose our parents or the genes that they gave us when we were born. However, it does not mean that we can’t change and grasp destiny in our own hands. I never believe heredity will decide the people who we are. Influenced by a good environment and accepting proper education, we can shape our personalities and behaviors and become the people who we really are.
