Companies now prefer to hire people with good social skills as well as good academic qualifications. Do you think that social skills are now getting more important than educational qualifications?

Due to

Linking Words

the competition in the workforce today, it is imperative that applicants have a variety of strengths to help them stand out. Some people believe that businesses are more likely to hire individuals with good non-academic

skills

Use synonyms

as well as

Linking Words

more common schooling qualifications.

Therefore

Linking Words

, a candidate is no longer only assessed on the basis of academia, but

also

Linking Words

on the interpersonal merits they possess. The question is, which holds more importance? Having good communication

skills

Use synonyms

is vital in all industries. People are required to interact with other professionals on a daily basis and

thus

Linking Words

they are required to possess attitudes namely patience, assertiveness and approachability.

For example

Linking Words

, in a hospital, a doctor is not only required to interact with patients but

also

nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, etc. Working in

such

Linking Words

a multidisciplinary team can create many chances of misunderstandings, which can be detrimental to patient safety.

Therefore

Linking Words

, it is of high importance that all members of the group are able to communicate effectively. But does

this

Linking Words

replace the need for a good education? The answer is no. Medical

knowledge

Use synonyms

will always be the most important part of a doctor's skillset.

For instance

Linking Words

, a patient's diagnosis requires medical

knowledge

that can only be acquired through years of school learning.

This

Linking Words

also

Linking Words

goes for other industries too,

such

Linking Words

as teaching, engineering and management. Having the

knowledge

Use synonyms

cannot be replaced by the ability to ask for help or to delegate tasks. The only way a person is able to know if the responsibility they shared, is fulfilled, is if they know what outcome to expect. In my opinion, getting an educational qualification holds the most importance and social

skills

are secondary to it. Other

skills

are transferable and attainable during the course of the career,

however

the career will always require

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

Some people think that countries should limit the amount of food that they import and mainly eat products from their own country. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
With the de-globalisation progressing, regional protectionism is spreading in many sections, one of which is food supply. Some people have even argued that we should boycott importing food and completely depend on domestic agricultural products. This opinion is understandable when given the competition domestic farmers are under, but it is not reasonable and practicable as we are living in a society which has never been so interdependent on each other.

Practice 2: Some people say that the government should spend more money taking care of elderly people while others think that government spending should be spent more on the education of young people. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Dedicating specific amounts of money to take care of old people has become a vital topic of debate. While some people believe that governments should take proactive steps for this trend, others argue that spending countless money to improve the education of the younger generation is more essential. Both sides of the argument highlight significant points which will be discussed by following my own view at the end.

In their advertising, businesses nowadays usually emphasise that their products are new in some way. Why is this? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?
It is argued that companies by using various methods in their advertising are trying to announce new features. While it seems like a competition among manufacturers, I believe that it would have positive effects on communities.
