Perfect. Today we are going to learn how to express those suggestions in English because those situations can express different suggestions. For that reason, if you can express a suggestion, it's an advanced English. For that reason, we are going to learn in this class how to express our suggestions in English. We're going to see different topics about these ones and many words of how we can create our suggestions that might find in your day-to-day life. So would you get maybe suggestions in your environment life? But first of all, let's go to the main capsule.

Speaker A
So the five important words in this capsule is first one: suggestion. Suggestion, how I said before, this is suggestion. Let's go with the second one. The second one is should. Should means the... Let's go with the third one. The third one is is. Let's go with the fourth one. The fourth one is why don't we. Why don't we? This is a question. This is about a group, yes, a group suggestion. And let's go with the fifth one.
03:29
Speaker A
with the explanation of the class now let's dive deeper into how to make suggestions in English first you should know that there are several ways to suggest something depending on how you want to shout remember it depends on
03:45
Speaker A
The fifth one is let's. Let's. This word is so used for making suggestions but a quick suggestion. So this way, these words are so important for our English and also in this topic that is about making suggestions. So now let's go with the explanation of the class.
04:02
Speaker A
for example confident people or not it depends on you are on the situation for example when you're with your friends and want to suggest watching a movie for example you might say when do we watch a movie try to say quickly I'm fast this
04:20
Speaker A
Now let's dive deeper into how to make suggestions in English. First, you should know that there are several ways to suggest something depending on how you want to shout. Remember, it depends on how you want to sound because you can sound more polite, more informal, or even when you want to make a group suggestion. It depends on how you want to sound: if formal, informal, or if you are with, um, for example, confident people or not. It depends on you are on the situation.
04:38
Speaker A
way to suggest something remember why don't we is to use informal context you can use with friends but if you are not confident or comfortable with them why don't we it's a great word and to show more polite unless is more direct it's
04:58
Speaker A
For example, when you're with your friends and want to suggest watching a movie, for example, you might say, "Why don't we watch a movie?" Try to say quickly, I'm fast. This will prove that your English is so good. "Why don't we watch a movie?" "Why don't we watch a movie?" Yes, that's right. Or maybe you can say, "Let's watch a movie." "Let's watch a movie." So here, "why don't we" is a polite way to suggest something. Remember, "why don't we" is to use informal context. You can use with friends, but if you are not confident or comfortable with them, "why don't we" is a great word and to show more polite.
05:20
Speaker A
it's more used in informal context maybe with people that you are comfortable with so I give you a step by step example to help you understand better this topic let's see three different cases let's go with the first one the
05:36
Speaker A
"Let's" is more direct. It's not impolite, no, no, it's not informal, but "let's" is more direct. It's to say, "Let's do this." That's the suggestion, no more, "Let's do this." So "let's" is about something more direct and it's used also in informal context. This could use informal, but it's more used in informal context, maybe with people that you are comfortable with.
05:51
Speaker A
this situation try to think about this remember we saw in the CSU many words and also in the last example that I did you saw many examples and many words that you can use so what type of suggestion you are going to make in this
06:11
Speaker A
So I give you a step-by-step example to help you understand better this topic. Let's see three different cases. Let's go with the first one. The first one is the situation one, the basic one. For example, you are at home and want to suggest playing a board game. You want to play a board game but you're with your family, right? So what can you say in this situation?
06:25
Speaker A
game why don't we play a board game you can say many your with your grandparents or with your parents so this one is May maybe a formal context also for example here you are suggesting an activity politely remember
06:45
Speaker A
Try to think about this. Remember, we saw in the CSU many words and also in the last example that I did, you saw many examples and many words that you can use. So what type of suggestion are you going to make in this situation? Try to think about it. If you can stop the video for taking and giving an answer, you can do it. But I'm going to give you two solutions. For example, the first one, "Why don't we play a board game?"
07:06
Speaker A
relax a little in active P before continuing with the class so let's go to our active p in this active P let's move a little now let's take a little break to move around so you're are going to say what
07:21
Speaker A
"Why don't we play a board game?" You can say, maybe with your grandparents or with your parents. So this one is maybe a formal context also. For example, here you are suggesting an activity politely. Remember that you are suggesting something politely. How you make informal this one? Try to do on yourself to make informal the suggestion, okay? You can stop the video right. You did it, right? Yes, you use the correct expression. That's right.
07:41
Speaker A

08:05
Speaker A
Well, now we're going to relax a little in active P before continuing with the class. So let's go to our active P. In this active P, let's move a little. Now let's take a little break to move around. So you are going to say what this doll is doing. So remember, this doll is doing an activity. So let's do it together. You ready? So ascend, stand up and follow the instructions. So the doll says, mhm, jump in place 10 times. So let's jump.

The second one is spin in the circles five times in each direction. So spin to the right five times and to the left five times. So remember that. So let's do this together. So five times. So spinning circles, circles, circles. One, two, three, four, five. Okay, perfect. You did great.
09:15
Speaker A
this try to run try to walk and to move like a beard yes that's right so for example in 10 seconds are you ready right so let's do this with the dog so one 2 three 4 five you're doing great
09:41
Speaker A
You are not far, right? Okay, that's great. If maybe your move is doing that, maybe you see to yourself. Well, now let's do in the next part in the other side. Let's go. One, two, three, four, five. That's great. Are you okay? Okay, perfect. That's great. Now let's go with the three one, the three activity for maybe to relax ourselves. So imitate the flight of a bird by moving your arms up and down as you move around the move.
10:04
Speaker A
let's go with the second situation situation number two this is an intermediate level so let's see your family doesn't know what to have for dinner tonight remember your family doesn't know what to have for dinner tonight so what could be your suggestion
10:23
Speaker A
So I'm going to count 10 seconds for doing this. Try to run, try to walk, and to move like a bird. Yes, that's right. So for example, in 10 seconds. Are you ready? Right? So let's do this with the doll. So one, two, three, four, five. You're doing great. Six, seven, eight, nine, 10. You did so great. What about your muscles? Albir, perfect.

11:00
Speaker A
Now let's do the another part of the class. Let's see. Now let's continue with the class. Let's go with the second situation. Situation number two. This is an intermediate level. So let's see. Your family doesn't know what to have for dinner tonight. Remember, your family doesn't know what to have for dinner tonight. So what could be your suggestion?
11:19
Speaker A
let's go with the third situation the last one the third situation is Advan so we are going to use an advanced suggestion for this one for example you are in Virtual School right and a group project is coming up so you're going to
11:37
Speaker A
Remember, you have to stop the video for answering in your own words. Great, perfect. For example, I can recommend this option: How about we order pizza for dinner? How about we order pizza for dinner? So remember, "how about" is also for doing a suggestion. This is something informal. Yes, that's right. "How about" you can use with friends or with acquaintances, also with your family. It depends on the context. But for example, you can say, "How about we order pizza for dinner?"
11:52
Speaker A
to suggest maybe try to think in your favorite subject okay stop the video perfect well I could suggest you that you can say we could divide the task so everyone has something to do we could divide the task so everyone
12:13
Speaker A
You use "how about" to suggest a specific idea. Remember, a specific idea. For that reason, this is a specific idea because we are not saying ordering Italian food, that is general. No, we are saying pizza. That is so specific. Now let's go with the third situation, the last one. The third situation is advanced. So we are going to use an advanced suggestion for this one. For example, you are in virtual school, right, and a group project is coming up. So you're going to make a sug-
12:31
Speaker A
we could we could divide the task so everyone has something to do it's just an idea it's an option but it's not mandatory other person can take that suggestion like that it's just an option nor is mandatory so this one is an
12:47
Speaker A
advanced level of doing something mandatory or optional in a suggestion way so each of these phrases the first second third situation will help you to suggest things clearly and effectively in English remember to practice these structures and home because these ones
13:06
