▶ Your Answer :
I think spending most of
class time on discussion is better than spending time lecturing for the
following two reasons: students can broaden their perspective and improve
social skills efficiently.
First of all, being highly involved (수동태) in class is an excellent way for students to enhance insights and
outlooks since they can have more discussion of ideas. While growing
up, many students are immersed by tons of information and knowledge about
this world through formalized education. The problem that comes with this is
that most of the information and knowledge is conveyed with the source's
viewpoint and students can easily become shortsighted if they do not have
chances to discuss and broaden their horizon. In many cases, a (관사) lack
of exchange of ideas is a serious concern that hinders one's success. Therefore,
in order to gain well- balanced views and become more cultured, students
are encouraged to highly engage in class and have as much discussion as
possible. According to a survey conducted by Education Department of Seoul
National University in 2015, 83.5% of respondents answered that they were able
to have much broader perspective after discussing and sharing ideas about class
materials instead of listening to lecturers and solely taking notes. They
stated that they often got surprised by others' (소유격) ideas and tried to think in
other ways either. They would not have gained (would have + p.p) such wide perspective if they had have
not highly engaged in classes. As this example clearly shows, class with
discussion and engagement of students is a better approach for students to broaden
their perspective efficiently.
Secondly, discussing in class
shows outstanding effectiveness in improving social skills. School is a place
where students cannot only gain knowledge but also improve social skills. However,
students actually do not have much opportunity to enhance their social skills in
class. Modern society admittedly requires students who surpass others both in
specialty and sociability. To be more specific, interpersonal relationships and
social skills are necessary qualifications for any successful person.
Therefore, given the need for collaboration in school today, discussing class
materials with teachers and classmates is more beneficial in enhancing social
skills because it provides students with the perfect opportunities to share
their ideas and communicate with classmates effectively. Take my brother Jay as
an example. When he was in grade 9, his new history teacher encouraged students to
discuss and involve in his class. The teacher taught historical events and let students
share their ideas about the events. In history class, Jay was always willing to
share his opinion and talked about class materials with classmates even after history
class. Jay said his social skills significantly improved after taking history class
because he was able to communicate with his classmates whom jay did not have
opportunities to talk with. For these reasons, class with discussion is
essential for students to enhance their social skills.
To sum up, all things
considered, I prefer class with discussion and participation of students to
class with lecture only for the two reasons: students can broaden their
perspective by sharing ideas and they can develop their social skills
effectively by communicating with classmates.

1. tab 버튼 눌러서 문단 시작 전 들여쓰기 (indent) 반드시 해주세요.
2. 인트로와 콩클루젼 분량이 너무 적습니다. 문단 당 3문장 이상 정도로 맞춰주세요.
나머지는 다 좋습니다. 오프토픽까지는 아닌 거 같아요. 오히려 에비던스같은거 잘 잡으신 거 같습니다.
다만 어떤 perspective가 브로든 되었는지, 소셜 스킬이 어떻게 늘었는지 (sns 등) 구체적으로 써주시면 좋을 것 같습니다.
수고하셨습니다. *^^*
