Most Americans don't like to get advice from members of their family. When they need advice, they don't usually ask people they know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice on many subjects, including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, how to buy a house or a car, and so on.

Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers(律师) or educations. But two of the most famous writer of advice are women without special training for this kind of work.
