  GOLDEN EGGS

Long time ago a remote village, in central China was inhabited mainly with farmers and hunters. One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God for help or his family would die of starvation.
Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose will help you to ease your hardship.”
A week later to almost surprise the farmer found and egg in his yard. This was no ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy.
Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift.
Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six months. The greedy farmer lost his patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach.
Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already too late.

Giving Advice

Giving Advice

# Definition

Giving Advice is any kind of suggestion regarding a possible course of action for another person.

There are lots of different ways to give advice in English.

We are going to look at three:

1. Imperatives

    An imperative is a command or an order. To form an imperative, you use the bare infinitive form of the verb without a subject – it should be clear to the person you are speaking to that the imperative is about them.

For example:

- Wear warm clothes when you visit the UK.

- Don’t be afraid to talk to people.

2. Using modal verbs

    There are three useful words/phrases we use to give advice. These are called modals.

If you think something is a good idea, you can use the word: should

If you think something is a bad idea, you can use the word: shouldn’t

For example:

- You should eat fruit and vegetables every day to stay healthy.

- You shouldn’t eat too much spicy food.

3. Why don’t you. .

    Another way to give advice is to use the question form ‘why don’t you…?’ This is a nice way of making a suggestion – if you are not sure about the advice, you can use this form.

For example:

- Why don’t you take an English course before you go to the UK?

- Why don’t you give her a chocholate?

         There are several different structures that you can use when giving advice :

     # Should

This is probably the most common of the structures for giving advice. After should, and its negative - shouldn't - we use the base form of the infinitive of the verb:

You should wise up
We shouldn’t cheat
It is common to use 'I think' and 'I don’t think' with should:
I think you should put the answers back
She doesn't think they should use them
 

# Had better

This structure is common in spoken English and it is usually used in the contracted form. After had better, and its negative - had better not, we use the base form of  the infinitive of the verb

-You'd better return the answers to the lecturer
-You'd better not tell anyone that you found them

# Ought

This is the most formal of the structures used for giving advice, and so it isn't so common.
After ought, and its negative - ought not (oughtn't), we use the full infinitive of the verb:

- You ought to contact the police
- You ought not to cheat in exams

# If I were you

This version of the second conditional is often used when giving advice, especially in spoken English. Note the use of were with I in the first clause.
In the second clause, we use would - contracted to d - and wouldn’t.

After would and wouldn’t, we use the base form of the infinitive of the verb:

• If I were you, I’d give them back to the lecturer
• If I were you, I wouldn’t use the answers

Example dialogue :

·         Mariona : Hi Clàudia, You look worried. What's the matter?

·         Clàudia : Er.. it's nothing.

·         Mariona : Is it the exam tomorrow? You shouldn't worry. You'll pass     easily.

·         Clàudia : I know.

·         Mariona : Come on, tell me. What are you worried about?

·         Clàudia : OK... it's Mark. I think he has started smoking. I was talking to him    yesterday about   this topic and he says me that isn't smoking.

·         Mariona : That's serious. What are you going to do?

·         Clàudia : I'm not sure. I should tell someone. What do you think I should do?

·         Mariona : If I were you, I'd speak to his older sister. She's really friendly.

·         Clàudia : I've never met her. Can you com with me?

·         Mariona : Yes, of course. Let's go and find her.
