This
 essay will explain my opinions on the topic of people's choice in rather go for academic study in university rather than training, despite the fact that there is a shortage in the quantity of qualified workers in certain places and jobs. From my point of view, I can see the point there, but I tend to choose to disagree with the argument
due to
 some reasons. The reason that I disagree with the statement is based on my personal experience. In some areas, where educational facilities are not available broadly, vocational schools tend to have lower quality compared to universities. As an example, in one of the cities in Indonesia, as I analyzed, I often see a lot of university buildings and administrations are more properly treated if compared to vocational schools.
Besides
, in my community, the image and the stereotypes that the public gives to vocational students are the north and the south with the university students.
This
 way, I and the other society who have some deep thoughts about image, feel that going to college is a better way to continue my studies. In conclusion, because of these two reasons, with the fact that vocational studies do not get proper attention from the facilitator itself and the population. I choose to agree with the students who are going to college universities to pursue academic careers.

task achievement
In terms of task achievement, while the essay presents a clear position, the development of the argument is limited and lacks depth in its explanation. It is crucial to fully address all parts of the prompt by offering a more thorough discussion of why more people should or should not be encouraged to undergo vocational training. Concrete examples and a wider range of ideas would help enhance the response.
coherence cohesion
Regarding coherence and cohesion, the essay has an identifiable structure with an introduction and conclusion. However, the essay suffers from poor logical sequencing and lack of clear progression of ideas. It is important to use cohesive devices effectively to create a natural flow of information. Each paragraph should have a clear central idea, and thoughts should progress logically from one to the next, building a coherent argument throughout the essay.
