▶ Your Answer :
Students spend most their time in attending
school. So, there are a lot of chances to talk with their schoolmates or
teachers. Some people think, because students usually talk to their friends
more, friends are the most influential factor to students. However, I think the
most influential person is still teachers.
The primary reason why is because what
teachers say are more reliable than friends. Students know that teachers are
adults who have diverse experiences and also are well-educated people. Although
friend’s advice could be touching, students finally choose their teacher’s
advice, because they think the advice from teacher is safer than what is from
their friend. For example, according to the survey conducted by the bureau of
education in Korea, eighty-percent of teenagers answered that most of their
decision-needed problems are influenced by what a teacher says. Parents are
ranked at second. On the other hand, friends are ranked at fourth. This shows
the fact that teachers are the most influential factor to students.
The second reason why is because what
teachers say are more persuasive than friends. Teachers are good at counseling
their students. They are learned how to lead their students by words
effectively. To be specific, all students who are attending college of
education in Korea have to take mandatory class: psychology and counseling. The
reason why these classes must be taken is teachers have duty to not only teach
their students but suggest the best advice for them: doing what in the age of
student is profoundly related to their entire life. Teacher’s precise
understanding in what students need and good communicate skills will make their
students be easily influenced.
As I have stated above, students think
advices from their teachers are more reliable due to ample experiences and
professional counseling. Thus, students tend to follow what teachers say rather
than friends’ saying. Considering this, I firmly believe that students are more
influenced by their teachers than by their friends.
