Write an advice letter How to write an advice letter?

Write an advice letter (outline) ① typical sentences for replying to one’s letter ② analyze the trouble ③ give proper suggestions ④ express the columnist’s wishes

Analyze the problems suggestions Write an advice letter Dear Mary, Yours sincerely, Lucie I have received your letter and I’m glad to give you some suggestions/ Glad to have your letter. …./ I’m sorry to hear that you had a quarrel with your father. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analyze the problems suggestions At last, I hope I will be your best friend’s forever! / Good luck to you! /Just keep in touch. I do hope to hear good news from you.

Write an advice letter Dear Mr. Liu, I have received your letter and I’m glad to give you some suggestions. As you said , your son refuses to do everything you ask him to do. My advice is that you’d better not force him to do anything that he doesn’t like. If you really want him to do something, you can tell him the importance and necessity of doing that at a proper time. He himself will decide whether to do it or not since he is a boy now and he has his own idea. He insists on watching DVDs and listening to foreign music. In my opinion, if it is good for him, you can show interests in his hobbies although you don’t like it at all.

Write an advice letter Internet café is a very popular place now. I think online chatting, especially with his friends or classmates in his spare time is not a big problem so long as he can learn the subjects well at school. I’m sure it will work out fine if you can try understanding him. You should trust him and always communicate with him whenever you have the chance. I hope everything will be OK soon. Just keep in touch. I do hope to hear good news from you. Yours sincerely, Mr. Zhu

Write an advice letter Dear Liu Wei, I know your feeling and I can understand you. I was once such a boy as you and I had this kind of problems. At that time, I couldn’t understand my parents though they love me. You should believe your parents love you very much. You’d better always talk to your father that you love him too. Don’t get angry when your father doesn’t listen to you or even shouts at you. You can explain to him what you think later. Show that you are a big boy now and you can make your own decisions.

Write an advice letter Surprise your father with a day spent together. Invite him to join you doing the thing you like. That way both of you can have fun. Have a talk with your father whenever you are free. After all, communication is the best way to improve your relationship. Only in this way can you understand each other’s ideas and thoughts. Best wishes, Mr. Zhu

Now they get along well with each other, so they thank you very much.

Discussion Suppose you are Liu Wei. You have received your advice letter and you want to take the advice and improve your relationship with your father. You know your father’s birthday is coming, so you want to give him a surprise. Think over what you should do and tell your classmates.

Discussion In order to improve our relationship, I will give my father a birthday surprise first. The first thing I want to do is to call Ben , my father’s best friend. He will tell me the name of Dad’s favorite restaurant and he will make sure that all of my Dad’s friends from work will come. Then I will call the restaurant and book some tables. I will phone all my relatives and invite them to come too. The day before the party, I will go to the watch shop to pick up Dad’s present. His father gave him a watch when he was young. But it stopped working last year. He often complained that he never had time to get it fixed. I also asked him to polish it. I know Dad will love it . On his birthday, I will go to the restaurant early to make sure everything is ready. When Mum brings Dad there, everyone will shout “happy birthday”! After dinner, I will give him a present. I ‘m sure he will be very happy that day.

Thank You !
