Do they have the same meaning? A: Outline the various differences between theoretical study and the practical development of employment skills . In what ways may they ,in fact, be similar? B: Describe the similarities and differences between academic study and vocational training? Q: Look at writing task A and compare it with version B . Do they have the same meaning? My answer is that they are different. But I am not quite sure about the meaning of the practical development of employment skills. My understanding is it means some of the work skills( or employment skills) should be gained from practical development , which I guess one should put his academic study in practical hands-on experience. Am I right for this part?
