Skills building 1: identifying negative emotional language
When people discuss problems, fears and worries, they use specific language to describe their experiences. They often rely on emotional words and negative images.
To quickly identify theses themes, there are certain words, phrases and structures you can look for. 1)Words
Sad confused disappointed unhappy alone afraid 2)Structures
I feel like…
They make/It makes me feel… I wish…
I’m tired of … 3)Images
Under a black cloud
stuck/caught between… feel blue
down in the dumps
Skills building 2: breaking a big question into smaller ones
When you have a big question to answer, sometimes the best way to start is to make it into several smaller questions, and answer them first. Doing this stops you from getting confused and helps you think of all the possible answer to your big question. For example: Big question
How can I go from school back home for dinner and still have time to meet my friend and see a film across town? Small questions
Is there a bus that goes from my home to the cinema? Can I ask Mum and Dad to eat dinner a little bit later?
Is the film on at a cinema that is closer to my home or my school? Can we see the film at the weekend instead?
After you have answered all the small questions, you will be able to answer the big one. Skills building 3: giving advice
When you give advice, there are few guidelines to remember. Following these will help make your advice clearer, and more helpful to the people who need it. 1. avoid judging People read advice letters or ask for advice because they want help, not because they want to hear what they have done wrong. Always use positive, helpful language, e.g.
I know you are trying very hard to solve your problem, and that is great! Why don’t you try doing…?
2. give examples
People like to know how to use your advice. If you know of a similar situation where your advice worked, mention it, e.g.,
Something like that happened to my friend, this is what she did… 3. be specific
If you are giving advice, be sure to state what kind of advice it is. If you are offering help to people about studying, say that. If your advice is about training for a sport, say that too. For example, you don’t want someone to follow advice about losing weight when they really want help getting stronger, e.g,
Many people have problems finding enough time to study. One common solution is… Step 3: Writing an article
Ma Jie solved his problem with help from his parents, teachers and coach. You and a friend decide to write an article for the school website about problems and solutions. Find a partner to be your friend and discuss what to write in the article and then write your article. Homework
