I've got a bad toothache. What do you suggest?
What do you advise me to do?

What should I do?
What ought I to do?
What do you suggest?
What's your advice?
If you were me what would you do?

Giving advice
















If I were you, I would go to the dentist.
Why don't you go to the dentist?
You'd better brush your teeth regularly.
You ought to/ should avoid eating sweets.
If you take my advice, you'll go to the dentist.
If I were you I would/ wouldn’t….
If I were in your shoes/ position I would…
You had better/ you’d better…..
You should…
Your only option is to….
Why don’t you….?
Have you thought about….?
Have you tried…?

NOTE
In giving advice, we commonly use: should/ought to + Verb 1
W e can also use: had better + Verb 1
M ust and have to basically have the same meaning. They express the idea that

something is necessary.
Responses
Accepting advice
 Yes, I agree with that.
 That sounds like a good idea!
 I don't think that's a good idea.
 OK, why don't we do that.
 That's very interesting.








Rejecting advice
I'm sorry, i can't agree with that.
I don't think we should do that.
That's very interesting, but ...

I don't know what to advise, I'm afraid.
I wish I could suggest something, but I can't.
I wish I could help.

Things to remember about asking for and giving advice:







"Advise" is a verb.
Example:
"I advise you to learn English. You will undoubtedly need it in your higher studies"
"Advice" is a noun.
Example:
"My father gave me this piece of advice when I was young: never give up"
"Ought to" has nearly the same meaning as "should




"You'd better" is the short form of "you had better"
Example:
"You'd better see a doctor!" = "You had better see the doctor"

Exercise 1
Dear Paula,

Hello Paula, how are you? It’s been a month since I last heard from you. Well, I just wanted to
tell you that I was in a hospital last week. According to the doctor; I was infected by dengue
fever.
At first, I felt my body became weak then I fainted when I was studying in the classroom. Then, I
was taken to the hospital because of the high fever.
At the hospital, I was brought into the emergency unit. The doctor immediately gave some
treatment. Finally, I had to stay there for one week. Everyday the doctor kept me on a drip.
At the seventh day, my condition was getting better. After the final check, the doctor gave me
permission to go home. Now, I’m okay and because of my illness, I am now more careful about
keeping in my house clean especially my room, I don’t want to get the same illness again.
OK, I think that’s all from me, write to me soon ok?
Regards
Nadia

EXPRESSION HOPES AND DREAMS

Expressing hope mempunyai pengertian harapan. Sebenarnya Harapan tersebut ada dua
yaitu harapan menceritakan masa lalu ( past tense) dan harapan untuk masa depan. Akan
tetapi kebanyakan istilah “Hope” sendiri digunakan untuk mengekspresikan harapan
yang belum terjadi dan sangat mengharapkan harapan tersebut agar terjadi.

Untuk menyatakan hopes and dreams kita membutuhkan kata kerja hope dan wish
(dream). Apa bedanya hope dengan wish? jika hope biasanya digunakan untuk
mengekspresikan keinginan yang baik (goodwill), namun jika wish, merupakan hal yang
mustahil bisa terjadi.
Kata “hope” sendiri bisa berbentuk kata kerja pertama (infinitive), kata kerja bentuk
kedua (past tense) ataupun kata kerja ketiga (past participle), dan kaliamat yang
menyertainya bisa berbentuk berbagai macam tense menyesuaikan dengan pengertian
kalimat tersebut, perhatikan contoh kalimat dibawah ini:
