In this unit, you will learn how to give advice and make suggestions. Different pattern are presented to you for you to practice giving advice and making suggestions.
Read the three points in the first part on page 36. Pay attention to the difference between advise and advice in Pattern 1. The predicate verb forms in the if–clause and main clause in pattern 2, and the usage of suggest in Pattern 3. You can use these patterns to make some sentences.
I’ll give you some examples:
I advise you to go there by bike instead of by bus.
I advise that you (should) go to bed a bit earlier, to avoid being tired. Our teacher often gives us useful advice on how to study English. If I were you, I would buy that dress. It fits you well. My coach suggested that I should train six hours per day. I suggest going there on foot.
We can also use some other patterns to give advice or make suggestions: You’d better take off your wet shoes, or you’ll catch a cold. Let’s not start too early. We don’t want to be tired.
2. Let’s come to the second part. We can use question forms to make suggestions. For examples:
Don’t you think it is a good idea to go out for a walk on such a fine day?

John: You are good at the 400-metre race. Why not try that? Andy: Are you joking? Do you think I can beat Mike in Class One? John: What about the high jump then? Andy: No. Do you think I should try the long jump? John: Well, don’t you think it would be a better idea for me to do that one? I’m pretty good at it. Andy: I think I am good at it too. I suggest that you run the 100-metre race. No one in our school can beat you. If I were you, I would certainly choose that. John: But I haven’t practiced for a long time. Shall we do some training?
