In some countries today, there is an attitude that ‘anyone can do it’ in the arts – music, literature, acting, art, etc. As a result, people with no talent become rich and famous and genuine talent is not valued or appreciated. Do you agree or disagree?
Sample Response
InAt recent years, there is an ongoing debate about whetherdebate whether all peopleall of the people are equally capable of becoming artistsare equal to be artists or whether it should beor it is supposed to be the talented ones who are worthy of creating artworth to do arts. I believe that talented people should be appreciated for their masterpiecesmasterpiece, and throughout this essay, I will give several reasons supporting my viewconsiderations relating to my notion. Each personpeople has their own capabilities, interests, and talents. It is a fact that drummers master the drum music field such as the equipment, sophisticated techniques, etc. through self-studyby autodidact or take specific coursesor train themselves in certain courses to develop their skills fullygain maximum skills and to be hired by a famous band. However, drummers may not have quite interests in acting or painting. As a consequence, the term 'anyone can do it' may be possible but the resulting artworkthe product of arts will not be a masterpiece.
It is inevitable that the equal rights to do everything including to choose the profession as an artist is undeniable. As a consequence, everyone wantsevery people wants to be a famous artist because of the fame and high salariesbecause of the popularity and the huge salary. This leads to a difficult problem of identifyingcomplicated problem for finding the true talents in doing the performance. To overcome this, managers, agents, and talents searching events are a range of solutionsthe bucket of solutions to look for the real talents needed by the arts industries.
To sum up, 'anyone can do it' is a term caused by equal human rights among the people but people with original talents and interests accompanied by maximum development efforts are worthier to be appreciated as an art which they produced is overwhelming.
Why this response received Band 5.5
The response shows some relevant thinking about artistic specialisation and the need to identify genuine talent, with the drummer example offering its clearest support. However, its exact agreement with the full claim remains unclear, and it barely examines untalented fame or the undervaluing of genuine artists; frequent language errors further obscure the reasoning. Prioritise a direct position and one concrete example comparing popularity with artistic merit.
