Nội dung bài nghe:
Interviewer:.. .So how do you like this work?
Miss Sweetie: Oh very much. I feel like I’m living my teenage years again! ( laugh) But really, it’s great that I can help our dear readers in this way.
Interviewer: Do you find it difficult to give advice?
Miss Sweetie: Well, yes… I take time to think of the best possible advice that I can give. I think it’s most important that we put ourselves r other people’s shoes.
Interviewer: So it’s about being able to empathise…
Miss Sweetie: Exactly. But even so, we also need to be very careful about how to put the advice into words. We need to be sensitive… It’s not only -about giving the best solution, it’s also about helping the person get over negative feelings. For example, I often use ‘It might be a good idea to…’ rather than ‘You ought to..Or perhaps ‘I think you should…’ for me sounds much better than ‘You must.’
Hướng dẫn dịch:
Người phỏng vấn: .. Vậy chị thích công việc này thế nào?
Cô Sweetie: Oh rất nhiều. Tôi cảm thấy như tôi đang sống tuổi niên thiếu của tôi một lần nữa! (cười) Nhưng thực sự, thật tuyệt vời khi tôi có thể giúp độc giả của chúng ta theo cách này.
Người phỏng vấn: Chị có gặp khó khăn khi đưa ra lời khuyên không?
Cô Sweetie: Vâng, vâng … tôi dành thời gian để suy nghĩ về lời khuyên tốt nhất có thể mà tôi có thể cung cấp. Tôi nghĩ điều quan trọng nhất là chúng tôi tự đặt mình vào vị trí của người khác.
Người phỏng vấn: Vì vậy, đó là về khả năng đồng cảm …
Cô Sweetie: Chính xác. Nhưng ngay cả như vậy, chúng tôi cũng cần phải rất cẩn thận về cách đưa lời khuyên vào lời nói. Chúng ta cần phải nhạy cảm … Nó không chỉ là giải pháp tốt nhất, nó còn giúp người đó vượt qua những cảm xúc tiêu cực. Ví dụ, tôi thường sử dụng “Có thể là một ý hay …” thay vì “Bạn nên …” Có lẽ “Tôi nghĩ bạn nên …” Với tôi nghe có vẻ tốt hơn nhiều so với “Bạn phải “.

My weekend is also fully booked with music class, swimming class… I don’t have time for myself. I don’t know how to tell with my parents about this problem. Coud you give me some advice about this?

Dear Ms. Sweetie
I am a boy in Ha Noi. I am a student in a secondary school.
I’m feeling depressed and tense about my situation. I’m among the top students in my class. A classmate of mine forces me to do all of his homework every day and even let him copy my answers in the exams. He threatened to beat me and make my school life difficult if I don’t do as he asks. This makes me scared whenever going to school…
Can you give me some advices to solve this problem?
Thank you sincerely,

Example:
Dear Miss Sweetie
I am a student in a high school in Ha Noi. I just have moved to this school for a month.
I am so nervous and scared about my case. I always want to try my best to become a good student. But there is a classmate who wants to get the highest score and he tells me to fail my exam so get the best score and the scholarship. He scares me by stealing my pens, my books or even breaking my bicycle. It’s ok if he wants the scholarship and we can compete fairly, but he does not want that.
What can I do in this case? Can you please give me some advices?
Thank you so much!

b. As a whole class, put the notes in a pile and take a diferent note. …. (Cả lớp đặt các thông điệp trong 1 cột và làm nhiều thông điệp khác nhau. Viết một câu trả lời ngắn (2-3 câu) để cho lời khuyên về vấn đề. Sử dụng khung “Cho lời khuyên” trong khung ở trên đế tham khảo.)
Gợi ý 1:
I think you should talk to your parents about the situation and tell them about what you really want. About your schedule, you should ask your parents to rearrange it so that you can have time to relax. That must be better for not only your physical but also mental health.
Gợi ý 2:
Go tell your teacher this story. If you’re afraid, ask her/him to keep it secret and solve this problem flexibly. Do not be scared, you can stand up for yourself.
Example:
Let’s tell your problem to the teacher first, she can report it to his family to talk about this problem. If it’s hard to tell the teacher, tell your parents first, they can deal with this case. It’s better to compete fairly to get the scholarship. If he still do that to you, then you can tell the principal to move to another class.
