M:They both play an important role in whatever task you do.But personally,I think hard work is more
important than talent.
W:Why do you say so
M:Well,I knew nothing about music in the past.But with the help of my father,I learned to play the
violin three years ago.I have been practicing four times a week.And last month I even went on stage and
won second place.I am proud of myself.
W:Wow,what an amazing example!But the success of so many people around me proves that talent is
more important.Susan.one of my aunts,is a quick learner.I remember once she told me that she had done
nothing to prepare for a meeting,but she pulled it off,because she collected all the key information she
needed in a short time.
M:Well maybe.But for most ordinary people,all they can do is to spend more tme and energy on what
they are trying to accomplish.
