A. A Letter of Advice رسالة نصيحة

Writing Corner

When you write a letter of advice make sure you:

  • Repeat/echo each problem in your own words to show the person that you have been "listening" and you understand what they are talking about.
  • Put yourself in the person's place and acknowledge feelings.
  • Do not judge the person, try to help.
  • Do not dictate or patronize. Show empathy. Make helpful suggestions about how they can improve their situation.
  • Always close on a hopeful note, e.g. "I am sure things will get better soon; they usually do" OR "I believe you will deal with this in your own wonderful way; I've seen you do it before."

Useful expressions عبارات مفيدة

I am really sorry to hear... / I understand how you feel / I would feel the same way / I don't understand why people do this sort of thing... / I think, maybe, you should... / How about...ing / Have you tried... / I would... but then again, you know best / It's hard to imagine what it feels like... / I wouldn't like to be in your place...

4. Read the letter and identify the problem. اقرأ الرسالة وحدّد المشكلة.

Dear Faisal,

I hope you have had a good school year. I am sorry I haven't written sooner but it has been very busy and difficult for all of us. Moving to a different city has not been easy. I miss you and all our friends.

I have made some friends at my new school but I am still considered "the new student" so I never get invited anywhere. I tried to invite some of my classmates during the holiday but only one turned up. The rest didn't even call to let me know they couldn't come.

I have tried to be nice to everyone and give them and myself time to get to know each other but nothing has come of it. I have been feeling down for some time and I can't concentrate. My grades have dropped and I have gained a lot of weight because I get no exercise. They won't let me play football with them.

I feel like giving up on everything. All I do is go to school, come back home, do my homework, and play video games on my own. I don't know what to do.

If you have any tips, please write and tell me what to do and what not to do. I can't think straight any longer.

Hope to see you soon,

Nasser
