本单元的课题和语法焦点是关于提建议和征求意见的内容，现就如何提建议和征求意见作以归纳。
一、“What/ How about+名词/ 代词或v-ing？”表示建议。
What/ How about having an English evening? 举行一场英语晚会怎么样？
How/ What about a trip to the beach on Sunday? 星期日去海滨玩一次怎么样？
二、Would/ Could you please…？表示建议或请求时，would/ could 并非是动词过去式。
而是表示说话者语气较为委婉。
Could you please tell me how to get the post office? 请你告诉我怎么才能到邮局，好吗？
三、用“Let”s+动词原形”表示建议。
Let”s go out for a walk. 我们出去散步吧！
补给站：（1）这一句式的否定式可用Let”s not…或Don”t let us…。
Let”s not get up too early tomorrow.
明天我们不要起得太早。
Don”t let us waste our time arguing!
咱们别浪费时间再争论下去了。
（2）let”s 是let us的缩写形式，一般情况下两者可以互换，但略有区别：let”s的“我们”包括说话人和听话人双方，而let us不包括听话人在内。
Let”s play basketball. shall we?
咱们打篮球好吗？
Let us go with you, will you?
请让我和你一起去，好吗？
四、用“had better +动词原形”表示建议。
It”s getting late. We”d better go h ome by bus. 很晚了，我们最好乘车回家。
补给站：had better 中的had 并非指过去，而是指现在或将来，通用于各人称，在人称代词后常缩略为”d。
had better 的否定式是had better not，而不是hadn”t better，疑问式是将had 提前，而不借助于助动词did。
You”d better not watch TV every day.
你最好不要每天看电视。
Had he better finish the work?
他得完成这项工作吗？
五、用“Would you like+名词或不定式”表示建议。
Would you like a cup of coffee?
你想要杯咖啡吗？
Would you like to go to the park with me? 你愿意和我一起去公园吗？
补给站：这一句式的肯定答语有“Yes, please./ Yes, I”d like/ love to./ All right./ OK.”；否定答语有“No, thanks, I”d like…/ I”m afraid not.”等。
—Would you like to have a bottle of milk?
你想喝一杯牛奶吗？
�No, thanks. I”d like to have a cup of tea.
不，谢谢。
我想喝杯茶。
—Would you like an apple?
你想吃个苹果吗？
�Yes, please. 很想，请给我拿一个。
六、“why not?”在英语中随处可见，常用来表示提出建议、征求意见或表示疑问，表示同意或赞同某人的意见或想法，意为“好的、可以呀！、为什么不？”或“有什么不可以呢？”。
�Shall we go to the Great Wall?
我们去长城好吗？
�That”s a good idea. Why not?
好主意，为什么不呢？
�May I use your computer?
我可以用一下你的电脑吗？
�Why not? 当然可以。
Why not/ Why don”t you 后还常跟不带to 的动词不定式，用以表示劝诱或建议某人做某事。
意为“为什么不（做）……”或“（做）……怎么样？”。
Why not have a party on your birthday? = Why don”t we have a party on your birthday?
我们为何不在你生日这天聚一聚呢？
Why not go there with him? = Why don”t you go there with him?
你为什么不和他一起去那儿？
