برای اینکه چیزی رو ملایم پیشنهاد بدی، Maybe you could یا You might want to رو قبل از یه فعل بیار، یا Have you considered رو قبل از یه کلمهی -ing. Perhaps هر ایدهای رو ملایمتر میکنه.
پیشنهادهای ملایم
Maybe you could — Maybe you could go to bed earlier.
You might want to — You might want to try tea instead.
Have you considered — Have you considered taking a break?
خودت امتحان کن: Amina: I feel tired all the time. Hiroshi: ___ going to bed earlier? Choose the gentle suggestion that fits before the -ing word. (Have you considered / You'd better / You must) جواب: Have you considered — Have you considered یه پیشنهاد ملایمه و قبل از going جا میگیره. You'd better و You must هر دو نصیحتِ محکمترن و بعدشون فعلِ ساده میآد، پس هیچکدوم اینجا جا نمیگیره.
نصیحت محکمتر
وقتی نصیحت مهمه، از You'd better برای هشدار دربارهی یه دردسر استفاده کن، و از You must برای نصیحتی که خیلی روش تأکید داری.
You'd better — You'd better see a doctor.
You must — You must take care of yourself.
خودت امتحان کن: Sofia: The pain has not stopped for a week. Diego: ___ see a doctor. This is serious. Choose the strong advice for a serious problem. (You'd better / Maybe you could / Have you considered) جواب: You'd better — You'd better دربارهی یه دردسر جدی هشدار میده، که اینجا جا میگیره. Maybe you could و Have you considered هر دو پیشنهادِ ملایمان، پس هیچکدوم برای یه چیز جدی بهقدر کافی محکم نیست.
