973 - Giving Advice in English - Have You Ever Thought About It?

Do you ever feel a little uncomfortable giving advice in English? Maybe you want to help someone - but you don’t want to sound pushy, bossy, or rude. So you’re not sure what to say.

Instead of saying things like, “You should do this,” we usually soften our advice and make it sound more friendly and conversational.
