Suggestions and recomendations !

Apart from giving factual information, a report will usually include suggestions and recomendations.They are important advices, that could help you to make a decision.



Recommendations
In the light of these conclusions, I recommend that you  should be prepared for the worst.
In addition, a possibility could be to open a new store

Grammar Note:
To make suggestions and recommendations you should use 'could + infinitive verb' (if you are less sure), or 'should + infinitive verb' (if you are more sure). You could also use 'suggest + _ing' or 'suggest that + a subject noun (e.g. 'we') + a verb (e.g. 'could' + infinitive verb). Do NOT use 'suggest to'.


There are a number of formulas used when making suggestions in English. Here are some of the most common:
  • Why don't you / we go to the movies tonight?
  • You / we could visit New York while you're / we're there.
  • Let's go to the travel agent's this afternoon to book our ticket.
  • What about asking your brother for help?
  • How about going to Hawaii for your vacation?
  • I suggest you / we take all the factors into consideration before we decide
  •
