雅思大作文題目

「

Nowadays, many employers think that social skills are as important as good qualifications for employing people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

」

解析&審題

11月10日的考題是一個舊題，重複的是2012年1月14日的考題，不過由於過於久遠，想必很多同學都沒有複習到。但這個題目的問題，我們多數同學都應該思考過，即到底文憑重要，還是社交能力重要？

就這個問題，我們的思考方向依然是三種：

A. 雙邊討論：認為兩者都很重要

B. 一邊倒討論：只認為文憑更重要，或社交能力更重要

C. 批判思維：對某些工作而言，文憑更重要，而對其他工作而言，社交能力更重要。

考生可以在以上思維方式中任選一個進行寫作。

以下是唐老師的高分範文。本範文中，唐老師遵從主流意見，認為文憑和社交能力都重要。本題還應注意的是，要結合「招聘」來討論問題。唐老師認為，在招聘的時候，文憑很重要，因為文憑背後代表的是求職者具有某種能力，而沒有文憑，應聘者可能連面試的機會都得不到；同時，社交能力也很重要，因為這種能力意味著求職者可以和各種人和諧快樂地相處，從而提高工作效率。

請大家認真閱讀範文，看唐老師是如何把以上思路落實到具體文字表達的。

That is why those job seekers with perfect certifications and licenses are preferred by their potential employers, for they indicate that their owners possess the sought-after knowledge and abilities.Without them, landing an interview or even getting past applicant tracking systems will become next to impossible. After all, in the job market, nothing can beat the importance of hard skills.

一方面，硬技能對任何工作來說都是最重要的，做一項工作所需的專業知識總是列在職位公告和職務說明中。這就是為什麼那些擁有完美證書和執照的求職者受潛在僱主所青睞，因為這些證書和執照表明擁有它們的人具有急需的知識和能力。沒有它們，獲得面試機會，甚至通過求職者的跟蹤系統都將變得幾乎不可能。畢竟，在就業市場上，沒有什麼比硬技能更重要的了。

Soft skills, on the other hand, are emotional abilities that are useful for an individual to stand out among other job applicants. While hard skills can be learned through proper training, soft skills are harder to develop. And thispartly explains why soft skills are extremely valuable these days. Indeed, such emotional traits are so valuable that almost every employer looks for job candidates who are skilled in identifying emotions, using emotions, andregulating emotions. With good soft skills, one is able to connect emotionally with his/her co-workers, clients and superiors as one will look and feel more comfortable and therefore more confident and efficient in job situations.

另一方面，軟技能這種情感能力也有用，可以讓人從其他求職者中脫穎而出。硬技能可以通過適當的訓練來學習，而軟技能培養起來要更難。這在一定程度上解釋了為什麼現在軟技能非常有價值。事實上，這些情感特質是如此寶貴，以至於幾乎每個僱主都在尋找那些擅長識別情緒，運用情緒，調節情緒的求職者。有良好的軟技能，一個人能夠和他/她的同事、客戶和上級建立感情上的聯繫，因為在工作環境中，這樣的人看起來，也會感覺更舒服，因而也更有信心和效率。

解析
