Introduction ( 38words)
Human's endeavor in researching on factors affecting one's personality and
development has offered quite a amount of proofs. My position may provide you
with a clear notion that nurture plays a far more important role in one's
development.
Body 1 (95words)
Reportedly there was a maid, a countryside girl with only an educational
background of primary school, working for an American professor who worked in
Shanghai Jiaotong University, China. After two years of stay at the learned and
exotic surroundings, amazingly this plain girl could speak fluent English and
started to help the host to receive and send e-mails to his students. When the
professor left for New York later, soon she sought a post at a multinational
firm. This example clearly reveals a common truth: appropriate nurture can turn
an average person to be competent. (topic sentence)

I will then go on to examine my position by offering other facts. It is
well believed that overseas graduates who once furthered their education in
foreign universities are taking incredible places in China because these elites
have a broader way of thinking and their bilingual and creative capabilities
have proved themselves much better than domestic ones. In contrast, some people
show their linguistic talent by precisely speaking a variety of dialects but
still lead a poor life because no foreign language learning process has been
conducted for them.
Conclusion ( 42words)
To sum up, the competence of a former maid and the qualities of overseas
Chinese students already illustrate an undeniable fact: a right way of nurture
can mould one to be outstanding whilst extraordinary nature without nurture is a
waste of resource.
