-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?.

-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.
