Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 4.5

The response has a recognisable position and paragraph structure, and it attempts to support both views with examples. However, much of the reasoning is only loosely connected to innate sporting or musical talent, one example is off-topic, and repeated copied fragments severely disrupt development and clarity. The highest priority is to remove all prompt repetition, then build two directly relevant arguments that explain how natural ability and training each affect success.
