Hello, everyone. How are you doing?
What (kind of) books have you read recently? Was that interesting? Let’s recommend the book to your friends.
For example,
That book was interesting. Please try reading it (= you should read it) by all means.
Or,
The new restaurant is nice. Please try to go there by all means.
Today, we will practice te-form + “mitekudasai”.
Note: Depending on the context, the translation could be “please try …ing (try to…)” , “you should…”, “why not …ing?”, or “do something to see….”

Note: English translations might sound occasionally unnatural as English, as I try to preserve the structure and essence of the original Japanese. I hope it also helps you to capture the pattern of the sentence structure.
