Band 7 Answer

One natural talent I have is drawing. Since childhood, I could sketch things quite easily without much practice. I enjoy making simple sketches and designs whenever I have free time. This talent helps me to express my ideas creatively. My friends often ask me to draw something for them, which makes me feel proud and happy. Even though I never had formal training, my drawings usually look clear and attractive. I believe this talent is useful because it allows me to relax and focus. It also gives me a way to share my creativity with others.

Band 8 Answer

A natural talent I have always been proud of is drawing and sketching. From a young age, I realized I could capture details on paper more easily than others. Whenever I see an object or a scene, I can quickly visualize and reproduce it through art. This talent has given me a strong sense of creativity and imagination. My friends and teachers often complimented my drawings, which motivated me to keep improving. Although I never attended professional art classes, I managed to learn different styles and techniques on my own. What makes this talent special is that it not only gives me personal satisfaction but also allows me to connect with people emotionally through my work. For me, drawing is more than just a hobby; it is a gift that helps me express emotions, reduce stress, and create something meaningful.
