Which one do you think is the most important for high school teacher (age from 15 to 18)?
o the ability to give students advice to plan for their future
o the ability to find which students need help and provide them with help
o the ability to encourage students to learn by themselves outside of the classroom
Without a shadow of doubt, the learning methods that any individual developed can differ from one another, yet no one can repudiate teachers’ roles in teaching not just a specific lesson but a method of learning. Some people are the proponents of the claim that a high school teacher’s most important duty is to teach merely the curriculum he is supposed to teach; however, others hold another perspective and believe that the most important duty of a high school teacher is to encourage students to learn by themselves. The idea, to which I subscribe, is the latter one. My viewpoint is based on quite a few reasons, two of which have been elaborated upon hereunder.
The first vital point to bear in mind is that one of the high school teachers’ goals should be preparing students for the university, for most of the high school students are going to continue their studies in the university. Moreover, the university’s materials are harder to learn as they are harder and at the same time students have less time to learn them. As a result, were they not able to learn on their own, they would not have a good understanding of the materials they are supposed to study. My own experience is a compelling example of this matter. After I was done with high school, I pursued my studies in medical school. At the end of the first semester, most of my classmates were having a lot of trouble, coping with the new situation in which they had to learn different materials on their own, therefore, they failed in a couple of units, but unlike them, I got an A in most of my units, since my high school teacher had prepared me for the university by teaching me how to learn on my own.
The second noteworthy reason is that if people know how to learn on their own, they would be more self-confident. As we get older, we are going to be in different situations, in which we should deal with new impediments. Moreover, considering the fast pace of the technology’s development, we should always keep learning new things to be always up-to-date. As a case in point, when I started doing research in graduate school, my professor told me that he needed me to know the programming language R and Photoshop, so we could use them in the research projects. Furthermore, not only was I not familiar with them, but also there were not any classes at the moment, but since I knew, I could figure it out on my own, I started to learn them using YouTube and practicing without the help of a supervisor.
In short, all the aforementioned reasons lead us to the conclusion that the most important role of a high school teacher is to encourage children to learn by themselves, for it can help them to prevail over the upcoming challenges in the university and it can augment their self-confidence.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
