Some advice for your fellow students.

Some advice for your fellow students??

The school year is coming to an end and I would like you to read old students' advice and then give some advice to the students that will follow your steps while you are listening to Rocky theme tune. Try to be sincere and, using appropriate advice structures, tell them what they should do. Include the level you are referring to at the beginning of your comment.
Here's an example. Pay attention to the structures used and also have a look at this (and then listen to the episode):

For example:
I'm a student of 2º ESO and I would like to give you some advice if you are in 2º ESO next year with Albert:

• I think you should....
• You must....
• You have to.....
• Study everyday...
• Don't  keep your things untidy....
• If I were you, I would....
• You'd better.... 
• And remember TO ADVISE, SPELT WITH AN S, IS THE VERB (I'd advise you to do sth) and ADVICE, SPELT WITH A C, IS AN UNCOUNTABLE NOUN (My piece of advice for you is...  OR I will give you some advice about...)

 And now watch this video:

and this video about giving some advice to a foreign football player going to UK.

 Write a comment giving your advice and tell me if you find any other useful structure or vocabulary connected with the issue.
