What the advice was
And explain why you gave the advice

故事简介：我想和大家分享一下我给我的朋友苏菲提供沟通技巧建议的故事。她是一个非常开放的人非常坦率地表 达任何反馈（直率地），无论它是好还是坏。我多次经历过她直率的本性。我知道她是想帮忙而不是侮辱人，但很多 时候我和其他人都因此被冒犯了。例如，有一次我花了两个小时做一个蛋糕作为生日礼物，我问她的意见。她评论 说味道很好，但看起来像屎。

因此，我给她的建议是如何用三明治反馈技术给出建设性的反馈，这样她的反馈听起 来会更容易被接受。更具体地说。有了这个技巧，她可以从一个积极的、鼓励的陈述开始。接着是建设性的批评, 然后再说一些积极的话。肯定的陈述是三明治的“面包”，而批评是“馅”。

我认为给她建议很重要。首先，我是她 最好的朋友，我必须帮助她成为一个更好的人。其次，她可以更好地理解别人的感受，避免对自己的反馈置若罔闻， 提高自己的沟通能力。我很高兴我和她分享了这个技巧。

I want to share the story of when I advised my friend Sophie on communication skills. She is a very open person who expresses any feedback very bluntly （直率地），no matter it’s good or bad. I have experienced her straightforward nature many times. I know that she intends to help and not to insult, but many times other people and I get offended due to this. For example, once I spent two hours making a cake as a birthday gift, I asked her opinion. She commented that it tasted good but looked like shit.

Hence, I gave her advice on how to give constructive feedback with Sandwich feedback technique, so that her feedback could sound more acceptable. More specifically. With this technique, she could start by giving a positive, encouraging statement. Follow that with constructive criticism, and then offer some more positive words. The positive statements are the “bread” of the sandwich, and the criticism is the “filling”.

And I think it was essential to give her advice. Firstly, I am her best friend, and I have to help her be a better person. Secondly; she could better understand other people’s feelings, avoid her feedback falling on deaf ears, and improve her communication skill. I felt happy that I shared this technique with her.
