(20/1/2022) Nowadays, some employers think that formal academic qualifications are more
important than life experience or personal qualities when they look for new employees. Why is it
the case? Do you agree/disagree with this view?

It is undeniable that numerous employers have a tendency to opt for new employees following
their academic success rather than individual experience in contemporary society. The
phenomenon is likely to derive from the thinking steriotype. However, I partly sagree with the
opinion because the latter should be considered as more significant aspect of recruitment in
several fields

To begin with, academic qualifications seem like a the most accurate measure of graduates’
capacity precribed by social prejudices. Students had overcome a diveristy of exams so that they
could gain a spectrum of knowledge with regard to their field. Therefore, it is intelligible that the
univeristy or college graduates have more ability to adapt their future jobs compared to others
without qualification. For example, students from Law university are provided acedemic
knowledge and professional skills during 4 consecutive stying years. Specifically, they are taught
to some law subjects such as Criminal law, Administrative Law, Civil law with critical thinking,
which are neccessary for them to practice in law firm after graduation. Of course, it migh be
impossible for others who lack the offical education to competent both the knowledge and skills
only by their personal experience. In this case, the experience is less likely to be accepted in fact.

On the other fields, the social experiments and individual practice play more important roles in
their own success rather than their academic qualifications. The reruiters should hire the novel
employees because their experience might brings a ton of benefits for companies in the future.
There is a persasive evidence about this option that Shopee, which is a giant in the e-commerce
industry in Asia, usually recruite employees based on their praticial experience on marketing or
online business instead of qualifications from schools. As a result, the employees of Shopee have
created the fierce competiveness with other unicorns such as Lazada, Tiki in different parts of the
world.

In conclusion, the social steriotype becomes an invisible barrier for the development of new
workers. Personally, academic qualification should take consideration as more eligible
requiremnent than invididial experience or qualities in some fields.

Traffic and housing problems could be solved by moving large companies, factories and
their employees to the countryside. Do you agree or disagree?

Traffic congestion and the shortage of accommodations are likely to be handled thanks to the
relocation of big enterprises, manufactures and their workers towards rural areas. Personally, I
wholeheartedly agree with the statement. As these make the cities overcrowded and affect the
life status of citizens negatively.

First of all, traffic jam is considered as one of the big issues in each mega city. The issue makes
people get late for their jobs or other activities when a huge number of vehicles is used on the
road in the rush hour. For example, in Hanoi, dewellers have a tendency to remote their own
form of transport like private cars, motobikes instead of public transports. The habit leads to the
block of transportation during 1-2 hours from 7 am to 8 am and from 5 pm to 6pm every single
day. Therefore, the local government issue a new plan to move a list of major factories,
companies and their employees to some suburban areas such as Hoa Lac, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang
which aims to limit the number of traffic commuting in Hanoi.

Apart from above issue, the housing status is another issue deriving from the appearance of these
big businesses and their workers in the big cities. In other words, increasing in the number of
population in urban regions is a principle reason for the housing shortage. Because of that,
numerous citizens might settle down their life in a narrow space, which causes adverse effect for
their health such as respiratory diseases, calcium deficiency. In the center of Hanoi, due to the
phenomenon, a plenty of workers do all their daily activities in the tiny space of 10m2 or
temporary houses in order to remain their jobs in the companies. If the enterprises leave their
placements to contryside, workers can find out more spacious living space easily.

In conclusion, I firmly hold the view that moving the big companies, factories and employees is
a great method to cope with the traffic and housing problems.

Some universities offer online courses as an alternative to classes delivered on campus. Do

you think this is a positive or negative development?

It is true that numerous academic institutions launch online programs to replace for offline
courses. Personally, I believe that the educational formula brings some merits for both learners
and training facilities.

Of course, students benefit from the transformation in remaining learning programs

consecutively and approaching top-notch education system. First of all, thanks to online classes,
the students might maintain their learning without any interuption while the offline classes are
likely to be closed in some severe situations. For example, during Covid19 pandemic, almost all
of people have to stay at home, which aims to limit the overwhelming spread of the acute
desease. Therefore, many universities change their direct training method into the indirect
method so that their students can catch up learning program efficiently instead of extending their
course duration. Moreover, a plenty of students who come from different parts of the world have
a preference to access the leading universities in global from their homeland rather than studying
aboard because they can save much money for stipend and live with their family.

Apart from that, the change in training method takes consideration into a necessary footstep to
create the significant source of income for many universities in the fierce market of education. It
means that online courses enables the educational insititutions to increase their financial interest
because there are a huge number of students who have a demand of distance training.
Furthermore, the online courses from universities are an alternative solution to its maintain
operation within difficult conditions of nature such as pandemic, flood, earthquake. However, the
comtemporary formula also becomes an invisible barrier of face-to-face interaction between
teachers and students and their peers. Thereby the learning outcomes from new method might be
less effective than those from the traditional form.
In conclusion, it seems to me that online learning courses contribute to positive impacts in
meeting the educational demand of students and the benefit of economic for the universities.
