AGONY AUNT
Dear reader,
I understand what you say in your letter, and we all share your sadness and feel sympathy for …
I think the best thing to do is to …
It’s a good idea to try to find an alternative routine,
Hang around with different friends
Go out with a different bunch
But, hang on. You shouldn’t start drinking as if there was no tomorrow. It’s dangerous to fall on some kind of addictions after disappointments/sentimental problems of this kind.
If I were you, I wouldn’t start a new relationship straightaway.
It’d be fantastic if you started doing exercise/sport
You aren’t supposed to feel sad/lonely all the time
You shouldn’t really worry all the time
Take it easy , chill out, have fun
Cheer up
Put a smile on your face
Life is short and we have to make the most of it/ take full advantage of it
Come on. It’s time to get moving
I recommend + V-ING
I RECOMMEND that + SVO
I recommend that you join a gym
I recommend that you should find a new girlfriend
