Sample Answers
Introduction
Well, giving and receiving advice is common in my nation in order to do work efficiently. Although I have taken and given many pieces of advice during my school and college years, But here I would like to talk about a specific time when I gave a piece of advice to someone special.
It happened a couple of years ago when I gave advice to none other than John, who is not only my neighbour but also my best friend. The advice was related to a business. Actually, my friend was really depressed and invited me in a cafe which is a stone’s throw away from my place to discuss his financial condition. He told me that he is suffering from depression as he is unable to meet the demands of his family due to inflation.
Actually, by profession, he is a chef. Even though his income is enough for him according to his job, but he has the responsibilty of his family as he is only the earner in his family. So he was thinking about quitting the job and moving abroad. Then I gave him advice to try his own evening business of tiffin service before taking such a big step, as he is an expert at culinary skills and is free after 3 oclock. Moreover, nowadays, due to hectic schedules, people do not have enough time to prepare food so he can easily earn enough money.
I gave him advice because he is one of my best friends, and I could not see him in depression. He really liked the idea and was convinced to give it a try. After two weeks, he followed this advice and now he is really happy as he is earning a hefty amount of it from this business. I really felt over the moon after giving this advice because it could help him mentally as well as financially. All in all, this is the piece of advice that I offered to my close friend.

1. Do you think parents should give their children advice?
Answer – As per my perception, parents should give their children advice because they have a lot of experience. Moreover, parents always think about the best of their children, and they know about their children’s interests as well as their weaknesses, so they can give better advice as compared to others.
2.Should teachers give students advice?
Answer – Without a Shadow of doubt, teachers should advise students because teachers are well aware about the academic structure, syllabus regarding the subject, and a plethora of knowledge regarding personality development. So, teachers should give advice to the students so they can achieve their desired goals with the right approach. Moreover, teachers know about the students’ positives and negatives then they can advice them regarding career options.
3. Do you think it is necessary for us to listen to friends’ advice?
Answer – In my opinion, it is quite mandatory for people to listen to their friends advice since every person has different way of thinking and knowledge, but they should only apply that advice after considering the positive and negative effects of the advice, as it is not necessary that everyone gives good advice.
4. How do people give young people and old people advice?
Answer – Individuals give advice to both generations in different ways. If I talk about young people, people prefer to give them advice through examples or by telling them about the both sides of the situation on the other hand old people are advised by professionals like doctors, lawyers through seminars or special appointments.
5. What are the areas in which people are more or less willing to accept advice?
Answer – It differs from person to person. As per my belief, people who have expertise in the field and are confident about their work do not like to accept advice from someone, but on the other hand, if a person is in need of guidance and does not know about the basic concepts of a thing at that time or the person is new at a place or in field, they prefer to take advice from others.
6. Have you ever received any advice from professional people, like a doctor, a lawyer or a teacher?
Answer – Yes, I have received many pieces of advice from different professionals, like doctors, lawyers, and teachers. For example, last month i was suffering from dengue, I took advice from doctor like what to eat, how to maintain health and many more. Apart from that, I have also taken advice from the teachers.
