　　advice?

　　M: Yes, I can't sleep well every night.

　　W: You should get plenty of sleep.

　　M: I drink a lot of wine.

　　W: If I were you, I wouldn't drink too much.

　　M: I often feel so tired.

　　W: You better do some exercise every morning.

　　M: I sometimes find the shadow of death in front of me.

　　W: Why do you worry about your future? You're very young, and

　　you'll make great contribution to the world. I hope you take my

　　advice.

　　Dialogue 2

　　M: Hi, Jone, how are you?

　　W: Terrible.

　　M: What's wrong?

　　W: Someone robbed³ my apartment last week. The robber⁴ took $550.

　　M: Oh, no! Did you call the police?

　　W: No.

　　M: Why not?

　　W: My English isn't very good. I didn't know what to say to them.

　　M: I'm going to give you some advice, Jone. If this happens again,

　　you should call the police immediately. You should try to remember

　　everything. You should explain everything to the police.

　　Dialogue 3

　　W: I'm afraid I've had a terrible row with my boss. What shall I

　　do?

　　M: I think you'd better apologize.

　　W: Oh, but I can't. It wasn't my fault.

　　M: Maybe not, but I advice you to say it was your fault.

　　Dialogue 4

　　M: You're going to get into a lot of trouble if you do that.

　　W: What makes you say that?

　　M: I don't see anything wrong with what we're doing! That's just

　　the problem. In these kind of things, the trouble doesn't always

　　appear at first.

　　W: But everything has been so easy.

　　M: Everything has gone as smooth as clockwork. Just like we

　　planned! That may be true, but if you were to do it, you would have

　　trouble on the horizon⁵. You always say that.

　　W: Yeah, you never look at the positive side of things.

　　M: Okay. Have it your way, but don't say I didn't warn⁶ you.

　　Dialogue 5

　　M: You're right, but you know, it's hard to give up an old habit.

　　W: But you should make up your mind first.

　　M: You know, I often have to work til late at night. I need

　　W: But I don't even know what to study.

　　M: If I had chance again, I'd major in English. You're good at

　　language.

　　W: That's what my parents want me to do.

　　M: You should take their advice. They know what's best for you.

　　But my friends will have jobs and lots of fun, while I spend all my

　　time doing reading and writing.

　　M: But if you go to university, you'll still have time for fun.

　　W: Hm, what you say makes sense. But you know, I still have to ask

　　my parents for pocket money, and I hate to do so at this age.

　　M: And if you try to find a part-time job, you'll have some money

　　too.

　　W: You're right. Thank you for the advice.

　　W: Most Americans don't like to get advice from members of their

　　families. When they need advice, they don't usually ask people they

　　know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and

　　magazines, which give advice on many different subjects, including

　　family problems, sex, use of language, health, cooking, children

　　care, clothes, and how to buy a house or a car. Two of the most

　　famous writers of advice are women without special training for

　　this kind of work. Experience is their preparation for giving

　　advice. There's one writer who has not lived long enough to have

　　much experience. She is a girl who started writing advice for

　　newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers

　　now appears regularly⁸ in the column⁹ called "Dear Angel¹⁰".
