EVERYONE HAS A TALENT

 Talent is a natural ability to do something well. Everyone has a talent, but sometimes it takes time to discover it. Some people are good at music, others are good at sports, drawing, writing, or cooking. Your talent makes you special. Even if you don’t know it yet, you can find your talent by trying new things.

Examples:

• Maria has a talent for dancing.

• Tom is very good at fixing things. That is his talent.

Having a talent is great, and with practice, you can become even better.
