Some people presume
(assume) that advice from their friends or
family members is not more (less) important in life than we expected because
there are already other methods instead. However, I firmly believe that there
do(es) not exist more effective way than getting
advice from others to learn about life for two reasons: It can be helpful for
their (academic) performance in school and suggest more possible solution
for problems.
To begin with, advice coming from friends or family
can teach students to learn to solve
problems more wisely, making them think about their life. This is attributed to
the fact that having lived for a long time, they have already experienced many
things such as rebellion, having to (making it easier to) fit in and building a closer
rapport with others. (I don’t see the logic clearly…)
Thus, they have a bigger (better thoughts) view
on these matters and are able to provide more objective and satisfactory
solutions. For example, when I was in fifth grade, I had a huge
misunderstanding that led to a fight with my best friend. Then, most friends
were telling me not to speak to him first until he apologized(s) to me
first. However, my grandmother suggested that I mend things up by taking the initiative to apologize(ing) first. Finally, it turned out that it was a
misunderstanding on my part and had I not spoken to him, we (would) have never cleared the issue which could cost
our relationships. This implies that
such advice given by one of my family
members is able to help solve problem more effectively.
On top of that, with advice of (from) others, students
can increase their academic performance in school by
themselves. This is due to the fact that such advice can serve as
one of the key motivators for students to perform higher
(better) and improve themselves. According to a
study conducted by Seoul National University of Korea in 2007, there was a huge
difference between two groups of students in achievement. Students in group A
were given advice from friends whenever they want(ed)
and those in group B were restricted to get an
(one) advice a day. The researchers showed that
the students in group A performed higher
(better) and spent more hours studying by 15
percent. However, compared to group A, the group B of students tended to doze
off in class and lack (in) focus on class
materials resulting in lower grade in major subjects. This implies that getting
advice from others let(s) students realize their
school life through enhancing their academic performance.
