Education is an important part of our lives because it helps us to learn a lot of new things and prepares for the future career. Some prefer classes with no discussions but with lectures. Others think the opposite. From point of view, it is more advantageous to have discussions with no lecture. I feel this way for two main reasons, which I would explore in the following essay.
To begin with, we need to take into the consideration that discussions would help students to stay focused because it is interesting when you can chat with your fellows and the professor. In contrast, lectures with no discussions are boring and, as a result, students may lose their attention. An apt illustration to support my idea is my personal experience. Two years ago I was taking English courses in America for two weeks. Basically, we were having a lot of discussions on different themes. I remember that one day we were discussing mass media. For me, it was the boring and sophisticated lesson. However, every person was allowed to express his or her opinion and that helped me not only to understand the complicated material but also stay concentrated. I have heard a lot of interesting opinions that made me involved in the discussion and, as a result, I was able to entertain and at the same time get the challenging material. Without having discussions with my teacher and classmates I would not have stayed concentrated on that lesson. For this reason, I think discussions are essential because it makes lectures unconventional, which helps you to stay concentrated.
Secondly, discussions help a person to overcome a public fear. It is not a secret that in the future career you would need to perform in front of other people. Therefore, this skill is worthwhile and discussions help you to train this skill. And again the example that I have mentioned above is a compelling example of that. As a kid I was timid and that is why I was afraid to speak in public. However, during English course, I was forced to speak in order to have a better mark. In the beginning, it was hard to express my ideas because it was not a common practice for me. Nevertheless, continuous discussions helped me to eliminate my fear and it became much easier to talk with other mates. In the current moment, I feel myself more confidently to participate in debates or presentations and it was done with the help of discussions. On the other hand, I believe I would not have developed this skill by just listening to the professor. Hence, discussions help you to get rid of the public fear and, consequently, succeed in the future.
To sum up, I firmly believe that lessons which are centered on discussions are more valuable than those in which professor does all of the talking. This is because such classes help students to not be distracted during the lecture and, apart from that, it gives students opportunity to develop their speaking skills.

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.
