Praise and criticism: giving and taking feedback, sentence 1
"It's rubbish" only hurts, and "Amazing!" about everything soon means nothing; "the faces are funny, but I can't read the words" actually helps, like a map that shows you where to go next.
Who acts: kind, Amazing, faces, people, map · What happens: be, hurt, mean, not read, help, show · To what, where: rubbish, nothing, words, you · Speech: someone speaks here
