As a non-native speaker of English you may or may not be familiar with the phrase HAD BETTER.
The word may not fit according to you in the sentences and you must be feeling uncomfortable.
But if you read the sentences (that have Had Better) a dozen of times and feel the weight, do little research and read/write more sentences with it, you will find that in a couple of days, you will actually GET the word by heart.
Usage: Used to tell someone what he/she should do.
Some examples:

1. She had better go to a doctor about her migraine.
2. You had better leave now or you will miss the train.
3. They had better take rest before the next match.
