《托福说》第23期 Topic：Gift vs Hard Work

本期Note【20160227 CN 真题】

Which one is more important for being an artist, hard work or gift? Please give your opinion and explanation using specific examples and details.

【Example——MJ】

大家可以在流行音乐King of Pop, Michael Jackson身上找找灵感。

Undoubtedly, Michael Jackson was one of the most successful artists in terms of singing, dancing and performing in history.

【You can say】 ☆ gift很重要

Gift is like a free pass given to you, so that an artist like Michael Jackson has an instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility and loads of sheer star power, and all these accomplishment and creativity can’t be replicated by simply working hard.

【You can also say】☆ 没有hard work也是不能成功的

Gift may only serve as a stepping stone. Talented as Michael Jackson, without fundamental dancing or singing practice, could he never be able to accomplish iconic dancing movements or beautiful melodies. As a result, people still need to work hard to acquire skills in order to put creative thinking into visual or auditory representation.

【语言点积累】

1. unparalleled influence 空前的影响力

2. free pass 免费优待券

3. identifiable voice 有辨识度的声音

4. musical versatility 音乐的多样性

5. incessant and intensive rehearsal 持续高强度的排练

6. make a hit 出名

7. visual or auditory representation 视觉或听觉表现形式
