第三部分：课程

ADVICE出主意

这一讲，我们学习怎样给别人出主意，和怎样请别人出主意。
1．GIVING ADVICE给别人出主意
a)一个常见的说法是用should。例如：
You SHOULD go to the doctor.
You SHOULD stay at home tonight.
如果加perhaps或I think,语气就比较婉转。例如：
Perhaps you SHOULD see the doctor．
I think you SHOULD compare prices．
在上述用法中，should表示最好这样做，这样做比较合乎情理，或比较明智，而不表示有义务或有必要做某件事（表示这样的意思要用must）。
Should的否定形式是shouldn't。例如：
You SHOULDN'T go out tonight:
You SHOULDN'T buy the first fridge you see.
注意：
Should与we连用，就足为共同的事出主意。例如：
I think we SHOULD buy a new fridge．
Perhaps we SHOULD visit your mother next weekend．
Should与第三人称连用，表示你对第三者的想法。例如：
She SHOULD shop at the supermarket．
He SHOULD travel by train.
b)用ought。它与should意思相同，后面接带to的动词不定式。例如：
You OUGHT TO plan ahead.
You OUGHT TO shop around.
Ought to很少用来提出问题，其否定形式oughtn't to也很少用。
2．ASKING FOR ADVICE请别人出主意
常见的说法是用should提出问题。例如：
Should I wait for him?
What should，do now?
When should we have the barbecue?
这种说法还可以与do you think连用例如：
What do you think?
Should I wait for him?
What do you think I should do?
注：Do you think之后也可以用ought。例如：
Where do you think we ought to go?

第四部分：背景资料

买东西

在澳大利亚，有些商品很贵，但各家商店价格不一，因此，要想买到便宜东西，有许多办法。例如：
多走几家商店
比较比较价格，然后再买，这就叫shopping around
到超级市场去
超级市场比路口小商店东西便宜，比大百货公司就更便宜了。（路口小商店是一家一户独自经营的小两店，营业时间长，居民随时可以买东西很方便。）
等商店大减价
比如，每当夏季将完的时候，百货公司就把夏季服装减价出售。
找削价商品
商店里往往南哇商品削价出售。有时在报纸上登广告，有时印成小册子，加以宣传。
大量购买
有人家里有冷藏箱（比普通冰箱温度低），可以买大宗的肉类及其他食品，长期储存。
到集市上去各州首府至少柯一个大集市。集市上的商品大都直接来自生产者，因此比较便宜。
