□ Learning to learn
When you make a suggestion, use less direct language than you would to make a statement or give an order. This makes it clear to the other person that you are giving them a choice. For example, you can begin with expressions such as Why don't we…? How about…? or use a past tense to distance yourself from the suggestion: I was wondering whether…

(P43) Tapescript:
Andy: Hello!
Clara: Hi, Andy! This is Clara. Matt just called me. He said he broke his leg
and couldn't make our trip to London this week.
Andy: What a shame! He's been looking forward to it for ages. Why don't we
wait until he's better?
Clara: He said we should go without him. It will take quite a while for him to
get well again. He doesn't want us to give up our holiday because of
him.
Andy: But Matt is our friend. He needs our comfort and support. Let's think
about ways to cheer him up!
Clara: You're right! We could send him photos of the places we visit.
Andy: We could, but that might make him feel even worse. I want to make
him laugh.
Clara: How about sending him funny postcards from every place we visit?
(P43) Tapescript:
Andy: Maybe, but postcards can take days to arrive. How about having a
video chat with him wherever we go? That way he can see everything,
too.
Clara: That's a good idea. But you aren't allowed to take videos in some
places. OK, I've got it - why don't we take Matt with us?
Andy: What about his broken leg?
Clara: Not the real Matt. Let's make a “Flat Matt”!
Andy: What?
Clara: We can print Matt's photo on a life-sized cardboard cutout.
We'll then take it with us and whenever we take photos in London…
Andy: [interrupts] Matt will be in the photos, too, as if he were there with us.
Clara: That's right! “Flat Matt” will go to London with us, and the real Matt
will laugh at the photos.
Andy: OK, Clara. Let's do it!
How do Andy and Clara give suggestions?
