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?

Recently it has been a trend to consider practical abilities more pivotal than theoretical ones.
However
, I disagree with the excessive quota saying that in job haunting, people may not need 'any' forms of qualification. Most importantly, there are professions where
qualifications
 are needed to show objectively your
knowledge
. In fact, professions
such
 as
lawyer
Fix the agreement mistake
lawyers
show examples
 and
doctor
Fix the agreement mistake
doctors
show examples
 are obligated to pass difficult theoretical exams.
This
 is because their jobs require a deep understanding of the field and have an enormous impact on the lives of people. They need something to justify their actions: in

qualifications
.
Furthermore
, job applicants with
qualifications
 are more likely to be employed by firms. In Japan, where grad recruitment is prevalent, it is difficult for the HR department to evaluate the practical skills of the students.　
Therefore
, they tend to hire students with some
qualifications
 because they demonstrate that students had put effort into their studies.
On the other hand
, proponents of the quote may say that practical skills
such
 as negotiation and team management are the only qualities that workers need. They suggest that
knowledge
 earned by experience is the most effective.
However
, those abilities are relative, and easily altered by what kind of product is the worker selling or what kind of team the employer is leading.
In contrast
,
qualifications
 are objective in that the
knowledge
 can be applied in most cases.
Overall
, it seems to me that denying the rule of qualification is incorrect because they are useful to show your
knowledge
 and expertise.
However
, I understand the need for practical abilities because they are important when running a business effectively.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
