1. Present simple tense: Used throughout the answer to express general truths and common situations, e.g., "A lot of people end up...", "transferable skills are valued...".
2. Passive voice: "are valued more than the specific subject you studied" uses the passive to focus on what is valued, not who values it.
3. Comparative structure: "valued more than the specific subject you studied" uses a comparative structure to highlight the importance of skills over majors.
4. Example structure: "For example, in business or sales, employers often accept graduates from any background" provides a clear example to support the point, which is a strong feature in IELTS answers.
