Question: In today's job market it is far more important to have practical skills than theoretical knowledge. In the future, job applicants may not need any formal qualifications. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

the most important quality of an employee?



In a highly competitive job market these days, the question of what is the most important quality an employee should have has become a topic discussion. Although practical skills are required in almost any jobs, their importance cannot be compared to the necessity of theoretical knowledge and formal qualifications.

There are a number of reasons why academic knowledge is of vital importance in today's job market. First, many professions require individuals to have a complex understanding of theories and hypothesis, especially in the field of research. For example, in order to become a data scientist, the sexiest job in the 21st century, students have to learn a variety of academic courses, such as mathematics and computer science. Second, plenty of evidence suggested that people who study theoretical subjects have the ability to solve problems faster than normal people, which results in higher income. It is clear that problem-solving is the most in-demand job skill for over past decades.

On the other hand, formal qualifications are necessary for companies and those who search for jobs. First, by looking through candidates' academic accomplishments, a company can directly pick the appropriate candidates. This benefits not only for the company itself but also for those who apply for the job. Second, formal qualifications are useful for people to show off their achievements. In fact, people who earn many certificates can easily stand out of the norm, which increases their chance of getting a job.

In conclusion, theoretical knowledge and qualifications should never be underestimated because of its necessity in the job market. Schools and universities should take steps to engage students in the academic field.

Mai, you need to address this essay with a clear response to the extent question that was provided in the original prompt. Your prompt paraphrase became incorrect because of the lack of proper prompt restatement and response to the question. The proper paraphrase is:

These days, the ability of a person to do a job is considered to be far more important than whether or not he has the educational background to do the job. That is why there is a belief that the future workers may no longer be qualified to have a formal college degree before being hired for the job. I am in partial agreement with this point of view because several considerations.

The first consideration is that....

However, I believe that....

That is why in the end it will most likely...


The main problem with your essay does not lie in the discussion you presented. It lies in your lack of task accuracy response. In order for your body of paragraphs / reasons to be acceptable you first need to make sure that your response to the task question is accurate. If you are not responding properly in the TA section but have a relevant line of reasoning in the body of paragraphs, then you will be scored for the sections that show a clear response, but will lose points due to lack of word requirement since your response will not have a properly worded TA response and as such, have less than the required word count for maximum essay scoring consideration.

Another reason you will not be able to pass the test with this essay is because your concluding summary is a continuing discussion of the given prompt. There are 2 sets of scoring considerations that will determine the overall score for this section of your writing. The paragraph is used to summarize the discussion only as part of the LR and C&C considerations. How well you can explain the essay prompt a second time using the reasoning you presented will be looked at and scored accordingly in this section as part of the TA, LR, GRA, and C&C considerations. The first prompt paraphrase considers how well you can explain a given topic and its instructions. This has a different scoring requirement than the concluding summary.
