When Americans need advice, they usually ______. [br] [originaltext] Most A

Most Americans don’t like to get advice from the members of their family. When they need advice they don’t usually ask the people they know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice on different subjects, including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes and how to buy a house or a car. Most newspapers regularly patrol letters from readers with problems. Every other week along with the letter there are answers sent by people who are thought to know how to solve such problems.
     Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But among the most famous writers of advice are two women without special training for this kind of work. One of them answers letters addressed to "Dear Abby". The other is addressed as "Dear Ann". Experience is their preparation for giving advice.
     There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Brown, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin in a column called "Dear Angel".
