The most critical capability a high school teacher should have is always controversial. (一言の背景紹介)Some people believe the ability to help students plan their future is the most important, some argue the ability to identify students who are in need and provide them proper help is the most valuable, while others think the ability to inspire students to learn outside the classroom is the most important. (三つの選択肢をパラフレーズする。それぞれbelieve, argue, thinkと違う言葉を使った) In my opinion, the ability to help student with planning their future is definitely the most important capability for high school teachers. (自分の意見を述べる)

To begin with, high school students are in desperate need for guidance about their future, and teachers are the only competent candidate to provide it. (選択肢1が重要な理由を挙げる)  I know this from my personal experience. When I was in high school, a great portion of my classmates’ only goal is to reach for the minimum requirement for graduation, and to be able to get an offer from a middle-ranged college in the US, as all 15-year-old boys are profoundly addicted to either computer games or love affairs. Because of our immature mind, we had no idea regarding the choice of universities, or the selection of a future career path. What made matters worse is that our high school teachers provided us with virtually zero guidance concerning our college applications, not because they lack the intention, but simply because they know nothing about it. Consequently, the vast majority of our parents had to hire an outside agency that specializes in the college application process which costs tons of money. Later we realized that this is an utter mistake, for what they did was simply giving us the timeline of the application process, translating our personal statements and recommendation letters from Chinese into English, and finally mailing out all our materials to the US. (具体例を挙げて自分の理由をサポートする) All of these simple tasks could be performed by ourselves, and these misfortunes surely could have been avoided if we had the luck to meet more competent teachers, with the ability to warn students and their parents about the black-hearted agencies and layout lucid plans for students’ future.

The capability to find the students who need assistance most and help them, on the other hand, is not that imperative. (選択肢2が重要ではない理由を挙げる)  The reason for this is quite simple, since high school students would come to teachers voluntarily if they are in serious trouble. In other words, many times students don’t want to be bothered by a teacher who treats them like a babysitter. (議論を展開して自分の理由をサポートする。学生がトラブルに遭ったら先生の助けを求めに行くから、find the students who need assistance most は重要ではない) As for the “help” part, I firmly hold the faith that all teachers are already equipped with the willingness to solve student’s problem gladly, using their prehistoric powers, no matter how difficult the situation can be. So the willingness to help students should be the minimum standard to be qualified as a teacher. (議論を展開して自分の理由をサポートする。help studentsは重要な品質というより、そもそも先生としての最低要件だから) 

Similarly, the skill to teach students how to learn outside the classroom is completely unnecessary. (選択肢3が重要ではない理由を挙げる) For one, most high school students have no time outside their classrooms at all, as all their spare time is already occupied by cram school or by extracurricular activities. Even in the rare circumstance that some students may have free time, parents could always play the part of their instructor on how to self-study. (For one… Even in the rare circumstance…、二つの視点から自分の理由をサポートする)

Therefore, I strongly support the capability of leading students to plan for their future is the most important ability high school teachers should have. （自分の意見を再度述べる) Also, this ability weights more than the capability of helping students in need or guiding students to learn outside the classroom.
