Giving Advice

Step 1 – Sad face

• What’s wrong?

• What’s the matter?

• What’s the problem?

• Are you ok?

Step 2 – The problem

• I see a girl on the subway every morning. She’s beautiful and I really want to go on a date with her, but I don’t know how to start talking to her. What should I do?

Step 3 – The advice

• You could buy her flowers. (possible op-tion)

• You should stand on her foot and then you can apologise and ask her to go on a date. (good idea)

• You have to / must get a haircut and change your fashion style. Then she will like you. (very important / 100% do it!)

Suggestions

• Why don’t you try and sit beside her?

• Have you tried smiling at her?

Step 4 – Good/bad advice

• Good – “That’s a great idea! I’ll try that. Thanks.”

• Bad – “Eh, I’m not sure. Let me think about that. Thanks.”
