 ASKING AND GIVING ADVICE

Asking for Advice

 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
We can also use: had better + Verb 1
Must 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
