And explain why you gave the advice
Bài mẫu:
When I was in high school, I experienced a situation that I had never thought that I would be in. In the middle of the night, my best friend suddenly knocked on my door, begging me to let her in. I could feel the resentment that she was giving off. Well, turns out she had a feud with her mother about the future career.
The fight was so fierce that she said she decided to move out straight away and pursue her dream job, which was to become a graphic designer despite the fact that her mom and the whole family preferred her to be a teller at a bank. They all thought doing a design job would never provide her with a stable life both mentally and financially. .
I sneaked her inside. Once she was in my bedroom, we had a heart-to-heart conversation for the whole night. One advice that I gave her was that she should go home in the next day since it was no use running away like that. The way she went into a sulk was just like when children didn’t get the toys they wanted from their parents.
I told her that instead of holding a grudge against her parents, she should take the initiative to explain her studying plans and employment prospects if she decided to join the design field. They were just having a poor judgment of the job, so having a serious talk would somehow make them understand more. She did cry a little bit when we were chatting, but I think that was a good sign because she didn’t let her emotions pile up. In the end, she came home the following day.
What surprised me was that she actually listened to my advice, and as a result, my friend’s relationship with the family improved substantially. It was a moment to remember, to the point that we still laugh about how childish and impulsive the situation was until this day.
Từ vựng:
It was a close friend of mine who received my advice because he was heartbroken last month. The reason was because his boyfriend cheated on him to date someone else behind his back. When he found out about that, he was so shocked and speechless that he didn’t figure out how to face his boyfriend at home. Therefore, he went to me and cried like a baby, which made me feel so sad for him.
After he had sobbed enough, I started to ask him questions to thoroughly understand the story. I have to say it was rather a complicated story that I don’t think I should tell you in detail but in the end, I told him that it is a part of a relationship to accept the most painful events like this. In fact, being cheated on happens to many loving couples no matter how hard they try to avoid it. So, instead of making a fuss, he should come back, have a conversation like two adults to figure out what to do next.
After he had followed my advice and spoken to his boyfriend, he realized that his boyfriend no longer had feelings for him. This was such a hurtful thing to know but at least his boyfriend was honest with him. Finally, although my friend still loves him, they decided to break up for the sake of both sides.
I think my friend came to me for advice because he has a deep trust in me as his good friend. Besides, I have a lot of experience in loving relationships so I can feel how he feels, which allows me to give precious advice.
That is all I would like to say, thank you for your listening.

Bản dịch
Hôm nay tôi muốn kể cho bạn nghe về một lần tôi đưa ra lời khuyên cho ai đó.
Đó là một người bạn thân của tôi, người đã nhận được lời khuyên của tôi vì anh ấy đã rất đau lòng vào tháng trước. Nguyên nhân là do bị bạn trai lừa dối và lén lút hẹn hò với người khác. Khi biết điều đó, anh ấy đã rất sốc và không nói nên lời và không biết phải đối mặt với người bạn trai đó như thế nào. Vì vậy, anh ấy đã đến chỗ tôi và khóc như một đứa trẻ khiến tôi cảm thấy rất buồn cho anh ấy.
Sau khi anh ấy đã khóc đủ, tôi bắt đầu hỏi anh ấy những câu hỏi để hiểu cặn kẽ câu chuyện. Tôi phải nói rằng đó là một câu chuyện phức tạp mà tôi không nghĩ mình nên kể cho bạn nghe chi tiết nhưng cuối cùng, tôi đã nói với anh ấy rằng một phần của mối quan hệ là chấp nhận những sự kiện đau đớn như thế này. Trên thực tế, việc bị lừa dối xảy ra với nhiều cặp đôi yêu nhau cho dù họ có cố gắng né tránh bao nhiêu đi chăng nữa. Vì vậy, thay vì làm ầm lên, anh ấy nên quay lại, trò chuyện với người bạn trai như hai người lớn để tìm hiểu xem nên làm gì tiếp theo.
Sau khi nghe theo lời khuyên của tôi và nói chuyện với nhau, anh ấy nhận ra rằng người ấy đã không còn tình cảm với mình nữa. Đây là một điều rất đau lòng nhưng ít nhất người bạn trai kia cũng đã thành thật với anh ấy. Cuối cùng, dù còn yêu nhưng họ quyết định chia tay vì muốn tốt cho đôi bên.
Tôi nghĩ rằng bạn tôi đến tìm tôi để xin lời khuyên vì anh ấy tin tưởng tôi sâu sắc. Bên cạnh đó, tôi có nhiều kinh nghiệm trong các mối quan hệ yêu đương nên tôi có thể cảm nhận được nỗi đau của người khác, điều này cho phép tôi đưa ra những lời khuyên quý báu.
Đó là tất cả những gì tôi muốn nói, cảm ơn bạn đã lắng nghe.
A great piece of advice can lead individuals to become a better version of themselves. Let me share a time when I gave a piece of advice to someone.
I’m a very health-conscious person and want everyone in my circle to follow a healthy lifestyle. So, now and then, I offer my advice to those with a bad lifestyle. A couple of months ago, my colleague-cum-bosom friend, John, had a severe migraine and took a day off. His health condition disturbed me. So I decided to meet him at his residence.
When I met him later that night, I was relieved to see him in a much better state. We gossiped and talked about many things, and suddenly, out of nowhere, he took out a cigarette and began smoking. I was disappointed since he had not changed his habits despite being afflicted by smoking. Immediately, I grabbed the cigarette and tossed it in the trash.
Although I was sorry for being rude, I couldn’t let my friend’s health deteriorate. So, as a responsible friend, I advised him to quit smoking. I apprised him of the consequences of smoking and the health risks involved, which would affect him and his family. He paid attention to every detail and promised me to quit smoking at the earliest. He took my advice seriously, tried changing his habit, and eventually quit smoking.
Today, John is a non-smoker, and I feel extremely honoured to have played a key role in guiding him.
OK! giving and asking for advice is very common in almost culture. This shows how much you care for someone. Every now and then I give a piece of advice, whenever someone asks for it. I'd like to talk about a suggestion I given to younger brother.
He had passed out his high school exam with high grades and wanted to enrol for university education. He was quite confused about choosing which university he should get admission as he had several options. When he asked me about it, I advised him to go for the university which provides placement services from reputed companies.
He followed my advice exactly what I told him, this turned out to be very beneficial because he got a job offer from Intel Corporation with a lot of perks and lucrative salary. It helps immensely for our family too with this advice.
Overall, not only himself but also my whole family was proud of him. He thanked me a lot and offered his first salary to show his love and respect.
Most of the time, people would ask their friends for advice since people in the same generation are likely to grasp the situation faster. So what I’m trying to say is that friends are better advisors. Sometimes, when we ask parents for some recommendations, it would turn into an unwanted life lesson.
They may condemn our weaknesses, not being able to tough it out alone whereas friends’ word delivery is far more gentle. A sympathetic attitude is easily noticed from friends as they also experience the same pressure at a point of their lives.
I guess how knowledgeable that person is, well in both academic and social aspects, plays a vital role when identifying a wise consultant. An advisor needs to be erudite so that he or she can consider a situation in a multi-dimensional viewpoint. Therefore, the advice can be more accurate for the one who is in need. Moreover, being objective is one of the features that an advisor should have. The best suggestion is one that doesn’t let personal feelings get in the way.
I would say that for youngsters, they should always go to their parents to discuss their future career, especially ones who have never done an official job or been involved in a legal contract. Nonetheless, for experienced workers, the people should trust their instincts and do what works best for them. This may bring uphill struggles, but they need that to break new grounds. Well, I’m not rejecting others’ goodwill, but sometimes the individuals who are doing the actual job know what’s the most effective way.
