　　Ⅲ.七选五

　　Giving advice is not one of the easiest tasks. You can be put under a lot of pressure especially if you generally give bad advice. With these tips, you'll be a professor at giving good advice!

　　__1__ Every situation is unique, so never assume (以为) you know all you need to know about a problem. Listen carefully to the person who wants advice, and learn as much as possible about this situation.

　　Put yourself in the advisee's shoes. __2__ If you've been in a similar situation, think about what you learned, but don't rely solely on your experiences to give advice－imagine that you are giving yourself advice for the unique circumstances (情况) that the other person is facing.

　　__3__ If you can have a few hours to think about the problem and possible solutions, take that time to really think about every possible solution. You could even take the opportunity to ask someone who's more knowledgeable for advice.

　　Think about the results of taking your advice and not taking your advice. If there's no obvious difference between the results, your advice might not be bad, but it's not useful either. __4__

　　Be honest. If your advised course of action has possible problems, tell the person about them. __5__ Your goal should not be to blindly lead the person, but rather to help him or her make a good decision, so don't act like a salesman.

　　A．Listen to the person asking you for advice.

　　B．Take time to think about the issue if you can.

　　C．Try to imagine yourself in the other person's situation.

D．Understand that the person may not take your advice.
