The most common way to make a suggestion in English is to use either "should" (if you think something is really a good idea) or "could" (if you are just talking about one possible suggestion). You could add the words "maybe" or "perhaps" (more formal) to your suggestion to make it softer. Here are some  sample sentences : You should study harder if you want to be successful. (A good idea!) The city should add more public transportation as the population grows. (Another good idea!) We could go to a restaurant to eat if you're too tired to cook. (Just an idea.) Maybe you could find a tutor to help you study in the evenings. (Again, just an idea.) Of course, you can also choose to be direct, if you wish. Just use  basic English phrases  such as these: My idea is... My suggestion is... You can also use some  polite English phrases , when making a suggestion. For example: I would suggest that we... If I may suggest an idea, perhaps we could....

I could be wrong as I have no special reason for believing this. I just feel this is right. When you ARE certain, try one of these phrases: There is a lot of evidence to support my point of view. For example... There are many facts in favor of my opinion. One such fact is...

Be honest. That's all you have to do on Honesty Day. It would be great if we were all honest every day of the year, but it's good that there's an official day to encourage honesty. That day is April 30th. The man who started Honesty Day, M. Hirsh Goldberg, chose the last day of April because the first day is April Fools' Day, which celebrates falsehoods, pranks and lies. Wikipedia.com says that on Honesty Day: "Anyone participating may ask any question they choose and the opposing person should give a truthful and straightforward answer. This is implying that the person who is answering the question has knowledge of Honesty Day." Perhaps some questions, like opinions, are best not answered honestly. M. Hirsh Goldberg was a former press secretary of the U.S. state of Maryland. He wrote a book called The Book of Lies: Fibs, Tales, Schemes, Scams, Fakes, and Frauds That Have Changed The Course of History and Affect Our Daily Lives. Mr Goldberg said in his book...
