how to be a smart person
This afternoon,I talked about an IELTS speaking topic with my foreign teacher: how to be a smart person.As far as I'm concerned, although some people are born to be geniuses, nurturenurturing is equally significant to the one who wants to be clever. (This is a little strange as a sentence. "the one who wants to be clever" as if this person can decide they want to be clever, and then get the nurturing necessary? "nurturing" is usually something in childhood.) For example, reading is a good way to train our minds.(space after each comma ", ", two spaces after a period "." ) Not only can it allow us to gain lots of knowledge, but also it has a positive influence on our memoriesability to remember things.("memories" is usually like "pleasant memories of walking on the beach" or something.) Besides, with doing puzzle games, we may also develop our mentalitiesmental abilities. ("mentality/mentalities" is more like 性格跟意见 dictionary says 心态) Finally, group studies are also important, cosbecause it'sthey are a good opportunity to absorb/practice/(consolidate our understanding of) what we learntlearn in classes and learn from others' strengths. ("cos" is very bad, chat slang. "they are" because "studies" is plural. *"learnt" is never a word.*Okay, I see this so often, I looked it up. "learnt" is used in Great Britain. My mistake. "meant" is used in American, but my spell checker doesn't like "learnt" but I guess its okay. Don't use a spell checker by the way, it will make you lazy. "learn, learned, learns" Here, you could also use "what we have learned" instead of just "what we learn in classes", both are okay. "from others' strengths" otherwise you are learning what their strengths are which doesn't really teach you anything. "absorb" is okay, but its a little strange here. The word in English feels very much like 吸湿。 But here, you might mean 吸取 or 吸收? I don't really know, but "absorbing" tends to be something more passive one might do in class, whereas you're talking about applying what's used in classes in group studies, which might help one assimilate what one has learned or, I can't think of a good word... gain confidence with what one has learned... something like firm up one's understanding of what one has learned... anyway... )1

Your writing will sound better if you avoid informal words like "cos", mixing formal and informal language in the same piece of writing can be distracting. I think you would benefit from reading as many example essays as you can. Keep practicing!
I rewrote the paragraph in a way that sounds more natural.
How to Be a Smart Person
This afternoon, I spoke about a topic from the IELTS test with my foreign teacher. The topic was "How to Be a Smart Person". As far as I'm concerned, although some people are born to be geniuses, nurture is equally significant to the one who wants to be intelligent. For example, reading is a great way to train our minds. Not only does it allow us to learn a lot, it also has a positive influence on our memories. Playing puzzle games can also help strengthen our mental health. Finally, group studies are a useful tool which gives us an opportunity to absorb what we learned in class as well as learn others' strengths.
