One time I gave good advice last year when my close friend was read about choosing a university. She didn’t know if she should study in our hometown and moved to a big city. She asked me because I had faced a similar decision before. I told her to think carefully about her goals and what kind of life she wanted. I also forget it, see right down the bros and cons of each choice, like cost, opportunities, and distance from family. I explained that Pic City has more jobs chance but living is a higher. After listening to my advice, she decided to go to Pic City because she wanted to challenge herself and meet new people a few months later. She told me she was really happy with her choice and thanked me for helping her think clearly. I felt proud because my advice was useful and helped her make an important decision. also make our friendship stronger.

One time I gave good advice last year when my close friend was deciding about choosing a university. She didn't know if she should study in our hometown or move to a big city. She asked me because I had faced a similar decision before. I told her to think carefully about her goals and what kind of life she wanted. I also suggested she write down the pros and cons of each choice, like cost, opportunities, and distance from family. I explained that the big city has more job opportunities, but the cost of living is higher. After listening to my advice, she decided to go to the big city because she wanted to challenge herself and meet new people. A few months later, she told me she was really happy with her choice and thanked me for helping her think clearly. I felt proud because my advice was useful and helped her make an important decision, which also made our friendship stronger.
