plz help me to correct my ielts writting Research indicates that the characteristics we are born with have much more influence on our personality and development than any experiences we may have in our life. Which do you consider to be the major influence? Nowadays, there is a controversial debate that which is more important between inherited characteristic and life experience on our personality. It is obviously that inherited characteristic is more important than ever before, because of the development of genetic science. We understand that our individual’s characteristic and development are decided by genetic factors to a great extend. However, some researches, relating the identical twins, has highlight that there are enormous difference between them when they have grown up. And, researchers have assigned the difference to twins’ inherit characteristic and different life experiences. Because whether the characteristics are able to develop within the personality of an individual depends on what the circumstance they are surrounded and experiences they encounter. It is true that our life experience are so unpredictable and so powerful that can boost and over-ride other influence. My own view is that there is no major influence in a person’s life. Instead, traits we inherit from our parents and experience and situation we encounter in our life are interacting. The interaction shapes personality and indicates how the personality develops. In conclusion, there is no impossibility that the characteristic we are born can totally decided personality and development. If it was true, we are easy to predicted or change our life. I don’t think that either nature or nurture is a major influence on one person. Moreover, there are still some unknown reasons are remained in our life.
