益处一般褒义的 好处就不一定是褒义词 有可能是贬义的

益处 is a word written,好处 is a word sporken

简单的您可以查字典，如果要运用得好，就要增加语感，一种使用语言时自然觉得流畅的感觉。

Almost the same~most Chinese people cannot disguish them well~~This question reflects a quite difficult part of learning Chinese~~It is that most words may have no diffrences in Chinese when pick them out from the origin sentenses~~However, in the sentenses, there maybe another word makes the point of which word is better. For example, 利and弊，好and坏，there may be no obvious differences between 利and好， but when 弊 appears, 利 is better than 好 because they are couple~~

not 好外， it should be 好处. 益处is a written word, and 好处 is more used in colloquialism.
