Your goal
Check available time and tools, then offer feasible advice for three situations.
Advice should suggest something the other person can actually try. A proposal is not a report of success.

- 알림

Consultation notes
Three difficulties
Each situation includes an available tool or time.
| Item | Recorded information |
|---|---|
| Mina | 글씨가 작아요. 기기에 확대 기능이 있어요. |
| Jun | 모임 시간을 자주 잊어요. 휴대전화 메모를 사용할 수 있어요. |
| Vocabulary study | 서른 개를 한꺼번에 외우기 어려워요. 나누어 공부할 수 있어요. |
After offering advice, check the response and result.
Learn the expressions
-는 게 어때요? suggests an action and asks what the listener thinks. Examples: 확대하다→확대하는 게 어때요?, 쓰다→쓰는 게 어때요?. A ㄹ-final stem drops ㄹ before -는, as in 살다→사는 게 어때요?.
| Pattern | Example |
|---|---|
| A gentle suggestion | 글씨를 확대하는 게 어때요? |
| Suggest trying a method | 모임 시간을 바로 메모하도록 해 보세요. |
| Suggest dividing the workload | 낱말을 다섯 개씩 공부하는 게 어때요? |
| Check after trying | 해 본 뒤에 도움이 됐는지 확인해 보세요. |
-도록 해 보세요 encourages trying to make an action happen. Here we use controllable actions such as taking notes or studying in smaller groups. 게 is short for 것이; write 하는 게 with a space.
