Based on people's experiences and understanding of the world, some people might say high school students do not need to study a foreign language for three years. It is obvious that the opinions of people with different standards will diverge. However, I believe that high school students have to study a foreign language for three year. My claim will be validated by the two reasons that I will present below.
The first ground for my claim is that student can get better jobs in the future. In modern society, competition is so fierce. As skills and knowledge of population advance further, we are required to become more knowledgeable than before. The expected level of knowledge is going up, so people are doing their best to distinguish themselves from others. So, if students learn a foreign language for three years, it gives more chances to students to get a better job. For example, I learned Chinese, when I was a high school student. For During three years of my high school life, I learn a lot. So I was able to speak and write Chinese perfectly. Then Because of that, when I graduated high school, I received several offers from companies. The reasons they chose me was that they needed a person who had speaking and writing skills of Chinese. So, I worked for one of the major companies in Korea with high salary. As shown through the example, it is clear that studying a foreign language is necessary for high school students to get better jobs.
Additional support for my statement is that it gives chances to make foreign friend. What I mean is that if students speak and write another language, they can make relationship with people who use another different the language they learned. Accordingly, they can broaden their relationship. In this society, one of the important things in life live is human relationship. For instance, I have some foreign friends. I met them in England 4 years ago. It is was possible to talk to them because I spoke Chinese. If I did not speak Chinese I would not have gotten could not get to know them. While I traveled, we could have the quality time with them. I still keep in touch with them. The example amply demonstrates that students can broaden their human relationship if they learn a foreign language for three year.
Through the examples presented above, I strongly believe that my claim has been effectively delivered. Concrete examples from real life have compelled me to take aforementioned stances.

전반적인 글의 흐름과 주장에 대한 이유가 잘 정리되어 있고, 토픽과도 잘 연관되어서 논리적입니다. 문법에서도 큰 실수가 없이 잘 썼지만, 문장이 너무 informal한 것 같아요. 토플 에세이는 formal에세이 이기 때문에, 캐쥬얼한 문장은 안쓰는 것이 좋습니다. 예를 들어 So로 시작하는 문장들은 as a result, therefore 등을 활용해서 좀 더 formal하게 쓰는 게 좋을 것 같습니다.
수고하셨습니다.
