英语写作：是能力重要还是学历重要？

In my opinion, diploma may be more important in the old time of China since there were few university students, while it is not the same case today.

The importance of ability and diploma both depends on how it is recognized by the company or how it is related to the employees’ salaries. A person who holds a diploma is considered to be higher educated and thus relatively has higher opportunity to enter the door of a company. However, it becomes worthless if the person is lack of practical ability. As there are too many graduates, most of the companies prefer give an interview to choose the abler one, instead of offering training afterward. It happens because employers think a good academic student may not be good at using their knowledge in the workplace.

Therefore, the trend of companies’ recruitment system indicates that ability becomes more and more important nowadays.

在我看来，文凭也许在中国的旧社会中显得更加重要，因为那时只有很少的大学生，但今时今日已经不同了。
