Giving advice
You might want to think about wearing a more conservative color.
What advice would you give to someone who couldn't manage their money?
So, I've gotten a part-time job just like you recommended, but I still can't seem to make ends meet.
Is that a new bag?
Yeah. It's nice, isn't it? It's Christine Labeouf.
Listen, If you're serious about managing your own finances, you might want to consider buying cheaper things. Is that a new smartphone, too?
You may want to think about getting some exercise.
You might want to consider sleeping more.
like you saidは提案や指示通りにした、と言いたい時に使う（カジュアル）
I got my hair cut like you said, but I'm still failing all the interviews.
as you adviced/recommended（フォーマル）
I asked them to lower the price as you adviced, but they refused.
I'm always late for work. I got new alarm clock like you said.
You may want to think about setting it earlier.
I fought with my brother. I empathized with him as you recommend.
You might want to consider aviding him.

should
What's the matter, Annie? You look worried.
I am. I'm getting very fat.
Oh, but you're not.
Oh, but I am. I just bought some new jeans, and I can't get them on. They're too tight. I have to lose weight.
Well, maybe you should go on a diet.
I know, but what kind of diet?
You should eat lots of salad and fruit.
But I don't like salad. I prefer meat.
Well, you can eat meat, but you shouldn't eat much. You shouldn't eat bread or potatoes either.
What about alcohol? Can I drink wine?
Oh, no! You should never drink alcohol on a diet.
What's the matter, Dario? You don't look happy.
I'm not. I'm worried about my English.
What's the problem?
I'm not practicing enough.
Why not?
Well, it's hard to meet Americans.
You should go out more.
Where should I go?
Maybe you should join a club or an exercise class.
But Americans never speak to me.
Well, you should speak first.
What can I talk about?
The weather! Americans are always interested in the weather!
Hello, Stanley. You look tired today.
Yes, I'm working too hard.
You should take a few days off.
I know I should, but we're just too busy. I'm working twelve hours a day.
Twelve hours a day! You are going to kill yourself!
What eles can I do?
Maybe you should quit.
I can't. I need the money.
