14. Talent

To my mind, the question of human’s success has always attracted a lot of public attention. Personally I, suppose that every person has a talent. And the question is what kind of gift does a person has. Nevertheless, success of human’s activity may depend not only on the talent.

As far as I am concerned, the case associated with person’s zeal attracts me more. Because a person who works hard and spends much time and effort deserves more than a lazy man who achieves everything easily thanks to his talent. So, I respect the workaholics for their diligence, heartiness, endeavour and constant activity. They believe that there is 1% of the talent and 99% of your own fervour and I share this point of view.

But a lot of people, on the contrary, respect talented people and ascribe all their achievements to person’s self. However, I suppose that the talent of such people is not their desert that is why I really respect people who in addition to their innate talent continue to improve their skills. I also consider that apart from the talent and hard work human’s success is formed as a result of daily fortune or luck and with the help of people around.

In conclusion, I can say that talented people are always honoured by society, but there is no man who achieved something and became successful without persistent continual work.

15. How many languages to learn

Nowadays there is a large number of different schools specializing in studying of foreign languages in our country. And, undoubtedly, they are very popular in Russia. Because in today’s world a successful outcome of the affair often depends on a person’s ability to speak foreign languages.

Actually, I consider that it is better to know one language impeccably than have a superficial knowledge of several languages. As for me, it is rather difficult to learn at least one language thoroughly especially in the process of acquirement of general secondary education. I do not deny that it is really good to speak fluently several foreign languages. But at school, to my mind, pupils have to pay more attention to general subjects and learn two foreign languages at the most. Furthermore, I think that there are some languages of greater importance than others on the world’s stage today such as English and Chinese. As well as Spanish, French and German also become more and more popular in the modern society. But there is also another opinion contrary to mine. Some people think that school education program should contain as many foreign languages as possible. Such people suppose that it can help them significantly in the future especially if a career is associated with international affairs. It will also give a wonderful opportunity to get in contact with foreign partners. I do not regard this approach as a right one. It seems to me that young people can meet all these possibilities in the university when they are really concerned about their future profession. But in school all you need is to obtain a good basic education preferably in all subjects within a program.

Nevertheless, what you choose depends only on you. Because, despite everything, the problem of this controversial issue is far from solving yet.
