Topic 2.Describe a time when you gave advice to others

You should say

-who you gave advice to

-what the situation was

-what advice you gave

-what the result was

I have this friend who I’ve grown up with; we’re pretty close. And this advice I gave him had to do with his career.

Last year he was working in an international company and doing quite well, so he was offered a big promotion to become a manager. But he had also been looking for opportunities to study abroad, and received an offer from a prestigious university around the same time he got the job offer. It was a scholarship that would cover all expenses, including tuition and accommodation, an enviable package.

Apparently he was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to stay and further his career or to go and further his education. When he asked for my advice, I was like, If you want to go far in this field, you have to possess excellent qualifications, because if you don’t there’s a limit to how far up you can reach, this promotion may look good now, but as far as I see there’s little room left for development. He finally took my advice and is now studying in FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY

1. 
   What advice do parents usually give to children?
   

I’ve found that it really varies what kind of advice parents give. Many of my friends’ parents are really overbearing. They try to force themselves into every decision their kids make, be it important (like moving) or unimportant (like buying a hike). Other parents are really hands-off. They let their kids make all their own decisions. This way kids can learn from their own mistakes. I think each way has its advantages and disadvantages.
