In this programme, we look at language you can
use when you want to make a suggestion.
We listen to a discussion in the BBC Learning
English offices. A member of the team is leaving
to go and work somewhere else and her colleagues
are planning a party for her. We look at some of
the expressions they use as they come up with
ideas about what to do for the party.
When you've listened to the programme, don't
forget to practise what you've learned with the
quizzes below!
Note Perhaps and maybe can
both be used before 'could' and 'should'
if you want to sound more polite.
Examples:
Perhaps we could phone them.
Maybe we should have a big party.
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT?
Now it's time for you to have a go at practising
the language we've looked at in this programme.
Part A is a short listening activity and part B
is a multiple choice quiz. Good luck!
A. LISTENING ACTIVITY Listen to the
conversation. How many times does someone make a
suggestion?
