忠言勸告

 

Right! I’ll do that.

Yes, I’ll try that.

That’s certainly a possibility.

That certainly sounds like a good idea. Thank you.

 

 

Is there anything else I can do?

Can you advise me how to be a good writer?

What do you suggest I do?

What would you do in my position?

 

 

What would you do if you were me?

I think you should give up smoking.

You really ought to do your best to get up earlier, you know.

Yes…. I see… in that case, you should be polite.

…. But I advise you to try Chinese food.

Well, why don’t you go for a walk after supper.

 

 

Try to be in a less of a hurry.

You don’t seem to realize that there’s much more involved.

That’s alright in theory, but in practice it’s impossible.

You’re living in a dream world.

And yes, but you didn’t get the main point.

Your’re perfectly right, but don’t you see Chinese food’s delicious?

That’s true, but if you keep doing that, you’ll get over it.

 

 

Oh, yes, I haven’t realized that.

Oh, my idea wouldn’t work, would it?

Good lord, I haven’t thought of that!

I see what you mean, but if you can help it, it would be better.

Wouldn’t it be better to exercise more self control?

Yes, I see. But… er… well… that’s not really possible, you see. I once gave up smoking, but I could not help picking it up a couple of weeks later.

Of course. But… well.. it’s easier said than done… but.. oh, you know, I’ve been getting into the habit of getting up late.

I see, but I’m not sure I can do that. You see, sometimes I just can’t help but lose my temper.

That’s all very well, but I don’t think that would work.

 

 

What you’ve done is pretty good as far as it goes; but you should still remain modest.

Don’t mention George’s name to Roger. They had a very bad row two years ago. Let sleeping dogs lie, if you follow me.

 

 

Learn to walk before you run. Don’t try putting the cart before the horse.

You may not agree with me, but it might be a good idea to learn to drive.

I was wondering if you could possibly give me some advice about my eating habits?

 

 

Can you give me any advice as to how to find a good job?

In my opinion, you must keep a dictionary handy when you red the articles.

Personally, I think your best course would be to have a medical check-up.

As for lunch, I really do recommend that you… that you eat less …. Secondly… that you eat more healthily.
