E7 G - Give simple advice
Mini-Beschreibung: Du verstehst kurze fiktive Probleme und gibst einfache, freundliche Vorschläge auf Englisch. Du nutzt dafür wenige feste Chunks wie You should ..., Maybe you can ... und Why don't you ...?
Look – think – say. What can friends do when someone has a problem?
- Try in English first: I can help. / You should ...
- Hint: Nutze zuerst Wörter, die Du schon kennst.
- Deutsch-Hilfe erst danach: Du sollst nicht jedes Wort übersetzen. Wichtig ist eine hilfreiche Reaktion.
I can
- I can understand a short, simple problem.
- I can ask: What should I do?
- I can react kindly: I'm sorry to hear that.
- I can give advice: You should ... / Maybe you can ... / Why don't you ...?
- I can answer: Good idea. / Thanks. I'll try that.
- I can improve my advice after feedback.
Vorwissen
Du kennst schon einfache Wörter zu Schule, Freizeit, Gefühlen und Alltag. Hilfreich sind Wörter wie tired, worried, late, homework, friend, test, help, talk, ask, try.
Quick start: Say one short sentence.
- I'm tired.
- I'm worried.
- I have a problem.
- Can you help me?
Notice: Useful chunks
Lies die Chunks laut. Lerne sie als ganze Bausteine.
| Situation | Useful chunk |
|---|---|
| Ein Problem hören | I'm sorry to hear that. |
| Nach Rat fragen | What should I do? |
| Einen Rat geben | You should ... |
| Einen sanften Vorschlag geben | Maybe you can ... |
| Eine Idee vorschlagen | Why don't you ...? |
| Zustimmen | That's a good idea. |
| Rat annehmen | Thanks. I'll try that. |
Mini-try: Your friend says: I'm tired. Choose one chunk and finish it.
Hint: sleep – rest – go to bed early
German help: Ein einfacher Rat reicht. Beispielidee: früh schlafen.
Understand: Problems and helpful reactions
A good reply often has two parts:
1. Kind reaction: I'm sorry to hear that.
2. Simple advice: You should talk to your teacher.
Use short advice. One good idea is enough.
| Problem | Helpful reaction |
|---|---|
| I forgot my homework. | You should talk to your teacher. |
| I'm nervous about the test. | Maybe you can practise with a friend. |
| I can't find my sports bag. | Why don't you check the classroom? |
| I'm very tired. | You should rest. |
Feedback now: Is the advice kind? Is it possible? Is it easy to understand?
Listening and Viewing
Watch the short beginner video. First listen and watch without stopping.
First watch – no transcript.
- What is the topic: a problem, a holiday or a recipe?
- Listen for should and shouldn't.
- Show with your fingers: How many advice sentences do you notice?
Second watch.
- Pause after an example.
- Repeat one sentence.
- Write only the chunk you hear: You should ... or You shouldn't ...
Hint: You do not need every word.
German help if needed: Höre auf die bekannten Signalwörter should und shouldn't. Der Rest darf teilweise unklar bleiben.
Pronunciation
Listen to the word should.
should – /ʃʊd/
Say:
- You should ask.
- You should talk.
- You should rest.
Sprich verständlich und ruhig. Dein Ziel ist Verständlichkeit, nicht ein bestimmter Akzent.
Try: One chunk, one idea
Complete the advice.
- I'm late. → You should ...
- I can't do my homework. → Maybe you can ...
- I lost my book. → Why don't you ...?
- I'm worried. → You should ...
Word bank: ask – call – check – practise – rest – talk – try
Quick feedback: After should, use the short verb: should ask, should talk, should rest.
Functional grammar
No long grammar rule. Use the chunk.
You should + verb.
You shouldn't + verb.
Examples:
- You should ask for help.
- You shouldn't wait too long.
- You should talk to a friend.
Remember: should ask, not should to ask.
Reading
Mia: Hi Sam. I'm worried. I have a test tomorrow.
Sam: I'm sorry to hear that.
Mia: What should I do?
Sam: Maybe you can practise for twenty minutes. Then you should take a break.
Mia: That's a good idea. Thanks. I'll try that.
Check the text.
- Who has a problem?
- What is the problem?
- Find one kind reaction.
- Find two pieces of advice.
- What does Mia say at the end?
Hint: Look for names and repeated chunks first.

From ______
Word bank: talk to someone – join a club – sit with someone – ask a classmate – smile – say hello
Write 3–5 connected sentences. Keep your own text. A tool may give feedback only if your teacher allows it; check that the language stays simple and do not let a tool replace your text.
Mediation
Du musst nicht Wort für Wort übersetzen. Gib die wichtigste Hilfe auf einfachem Englisch weiter.
Situation: Eine Mitschülerin sagt auf Deutsch: „Ich finde den Raum für die AG nicht und bin schon spät dran.“
Say two useful English sentences.
Start: I'm sorry to hear that. You should ...
Hint: ask – teacher – office – friend
Use: Mini-transfer
New problem:
Alex: I missed the bus. My phone battery is almost empty.
Give a safe, simple answer with two chunks.
Start: I'm sorry to hear that. You should ...
Possible ideas: ask an adult at school – use the school office phone – wait in a safe place
Bei echten Problemen mit Sicherheit, Mobbing oder Gefahr reicht ein Sprach-Chunk nicht: Hole Hilfe bei einer vertrauenswürdigen erwachsenen Person.
Feedback and improve
Check your advice.
| Check | Yes / almost / not yet |
|---|---|
| I understood the main problem. | |
| I used one advice chunk. | |
| My advice was kind. | |
| My advice was realistic and safe. | |
| My partner could understand me. |
Improve one sentence and use it again.
Before: Ask teacher.
Better: You should ask your teacher.
Digital safety
Use fictional names and fictional profiles. Do not share private social-media data, addresses, phone numbers or passwords.
Recordings are optional and should stay private unless you and your teacher clearly decide otherwise. No upload is needed for this course.
External AI tools are not needed. If your teacher allows one, use only fictional information, check the language level and keep control of your own text.
Self-check
Say yes, almost or not yet.
- I can understand a short problem.
- I can say I'm sorry to hear that.
- I can ask What should I do?
- I can give advice with You should ...
- I can give another idea with Maybe you can ...

Follow-up
Next step: E7 G - Ask for and offer help.
Keep using the same cycle: notice → understand → try → use → communicate → feedback → improve → use again.
